RTI’s much-anticipated T3x hybrid remote control is now shipping! It’s been a long time coming – we first heard about it way back at CEDIA 2013 – but considering everything that’s been packed into this control, it looks like the wait will have been worth it!
The T3x feature dual RF, WiFi and IR control, a flush-mount 3.5" touchscreen with haptic feedback, 35 backlit hard buttons plus a special cursor button, along with extra frills like a built-in camera and microphone, grip sensor and accelerometer.
