Core 5 controller, all the power of Control4

The CORE 5 model offers the ultimate experience for intelligent automation deployments. With enough processing power to handle hundreds of connected devices of all kinds (audio, video, HVAC, security, lighting, network, etc.) in several zones, this ultra-complete solution is suitable for the overall management of a residence as well as commercial use, for instance in a hotel.

Home automation solution to coordinate complex, high-quality installations

Core 5, like all the Core series, is equipped with a new-generation multi-core processor. It offers a speed that far exceeds that of previous EA systems, enabling instant, interactive control of all systems. This processor will also make it easy to run Control4's OS 3 and all its future developments. It provides advanced functions for entertainment and lighting management, as well as an integrated communications server for audio/video intercom between Control4 touch screens, Chime video doorbells and door stations.

Control4 takes entertainment one step further 

For entertainment, CORE 5 includes new, higher quality digital-to-analogue converters (DACs), with an audiophile-grade 118dB signal-to-noise ratio, and powerful new DSPs that offer ultra-fine controls for a fully customisable 6-band EQ with graphical display. Each of the audio outputs - three digital audio outputs (coaxial), three analogue audio outputs (stereo) and one HDMI output - can be streamed independently and simultaneously by Ryff, the integrated high-resolution audio server. This allows customers to listen natively to their local music library or stream music from various music services (including Deezer, Qobuz, TIDAL, Pandora, Spotify, SiriusXM, SOUNDMACHINE, TuneIn) and AirPlay-enabled devices.

Core 5 networked device management and remote control with OvrC

The CORE 5 has everything you need to control a complex network installation. Two USB ports let you connect external hard drives for easy access to music content, or use a WI-FI dongle. The device also includes secure Zigbee and Zwave* wireless technologies, as well as a large number of I/Os, including IP, infrared (IR) and serial, to control and automate distributed audio and video systems, lighting systems with colour and temperature control, air conditioning, security and surveillance systems and their sensors, audio/video intercom systems, etc. 

With integrated OvrC Pro, the CORE will be the foundation for network monitoring and management, giving you access to the entire network of IP devices - including third-party products - for remote connections, device and network configuration, troubleshooting, reboots and updates. These functions, combined with diagnostic data, facilitate remote assistance and reduce the need to travel.

Elegant, ergonomic design, from chassis to interface

The Control4 home automation solution features an elegant interactive menu on a 4K screen for easy access to entertainment sources, device control, scene selection, comfort settings and surveillance control. On the hardware side, the fanless 1U design includes a heat dissipating chassis and integrated power supply, for simple, silent and reliable installation.
