Savant\u2019s new docks allow consumers to purchase five, six, even seven iPad controllers for the price of one traditional touch panel. Savant has changed the landscape of home control and entertainment by leveraging the speed, power and affordability of the Apple iPad. Both new docks are now shipping to authorized dealers.<\/p>\n<p>Both the desktop and in-wall docks enable consumers to take full advantage of Savant\u2019s extensive experience writing Apple software applications for the home automation market place, resulting in an iPad-based control solution with rich graphics that is easily tailored to the needs of each end user. Savant has established the iPad as the most powerful and versatile portable device for any home, and combined with the company\u2019s legendary On-Screen Display (OSD) technology, has raised the bar with easily customizable, user-friendly operability.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cWith Savant\u2019s iPad app, you have an Apple machine talking to an Apple machine,\u201d explained CEO Robert Madonna. \u201cSavant controllers have an Apple computer embedded internally and our user interface was engineered specifically for the iPad, making traditional control applications look antiquated by comparison,\u201d Madonna added. \u201cOur first-to-market dock products make it possible for Savant dealers to provide far more overall system value at a fraction of the cost to the consumer than with any other competitive automation technology,\u201d Madonna concluded. Savant\u2019s configuration tool enables integrators to custom build iPad-based solutions requiring dramatically less programming and set-up time than traditional control platforms.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_31501\"  width=\"480\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"480\" data-origheight=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V6xxIlGDRKE?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Desktop: <strong>Savant\u2019s Desktop Dock (MSRP $350) <\/strong>transforms the iPad into a cost-effective desktop touch panel that powers the iPad while allowing for full navigation of Savant\u2019s automation and control solutions as well as the numerous applications available for the iPad.
