Samsung Electronics America isncorporating Control4 Simple Device Discovery Protocol (SDDP) software into its technology to simplify integration with Control4 automation systems. Control4 Certified driver support is added to the entire 2017 4K UHD TV lineup and the new UBD-M9700 4K UHD Blu-ray Player, debuting at the CEDIA 2017 show in San Diego.
According to Samsung "the Control4 Certified drivers produce lightning-fast response times for consumers with little to no lag and full access to the Samsung Smart Hub Command List. Customers no longer need a separate digital media device for access to leading streaming services like Netflix, Amazon and YouTube. Additionally, SDDP makes it simple for installers to add devices to Control4 projects by automatically identifying and downloading the latest Control4 Certified driver".
These functionalities will be presented during CEDIA and an over-the-network firmware update to activate them on QLED Series, MU Series, The Frame and the new M9700 is forthcoming.
“At Samsung, we are proud to deliver the very best in total home solutions ensuring consumers enjoy superior quality in both picture and sound. This includes offering many different options for consumers to set up and control their Samsung TVs,” said Brandt Varner, Vice President of TV Product Marketing for Samsung Electronics America. “Now that our entire 4K UHD TV lineup and new Blu-ray Player support IP control, we’re addressing the fast-growing custom installer market and consumer appetite for smart home solutions.”
With an SDDP-enabled device, a Control4 home automation system automatically finds, identifies, authenticates, adds and connects the device nearly instantaneously during the initial installation – reducing the complexity and configuration time for installers as well as reducing potential incompatibility with other devices within consumers’ homes. With Samsung TVs now featuring SDDP and Control4 Certified drivers, integrators can feel confident choosing Samsung for smart home projects resulting in efficient and seamless installations along with the best consumer experience.
