Collage from Russound

Overview

Russound’s Collage Powerline Media and Intercom system distributes networked accessed music and intercom communication over a home’s residential electrical system. The flexible, expandable system provides access to two-way transmission of audio, video, data, and internet media with metadata feedback without the need of running new zone-to-zone wiring.

The Collage system uses Powerline Carrier technology to establish an IP data network over a residential electrical system. This decentralized design allows system components to be installed almost anywhere in a home where electrical wiring is run. The basic system architecture is comprised of a Collage Media Manager and Amplified Keypad.

Networked Stored Music

With Collage, accessing music stored on your home’s computer network is easy. Setting folders, drives, or networked attached storage devices that contain your digital music to ‘share’ allows Collage to quickly navigate your collection. The only required pieces are a PC with Windows Media Player 11 or greater, or computers and storage devices equipped with DLNA server software.

Experience Music without limits

Each Collage Powerline Media and Intercom system comes with a free six-month subscription to the Rhapsody digital music service.  Access to other online music services is coming soon. Check in for updates.

Collage Intercom

Not only does Collage allow you to listen to your digital music or streaming music available online, but it can allow you to communicate with your family through its intercom feature. From any system keypad you can page any other keypad, or call the entire system. Operation is easy, with hands-free, duplex communication between keypads.

Room monitoring

In addition to Intercom communication, the Collage system provides a room monitoring function. Any system keypad can be set as a ‘room monitor’, and that room becomes a source for other system keypads. This allows you to monitor the baby sleeping in the nursery from the living room, the den, or the master bedroom without having to carry any hardware around.

Future Expansion

In addition to the internal FM tuner, networked stored music, and online music services, hardware will soon be available that allows the Collage Powerline Media and Intercom system to use convention audio sources with IR control, CCTV cameras that deliver composite video, and iPods as system sources for any system keypad.
