Designed to fit discreetly behind any television, Control4 CORE 1 enables entertainment and intelligent automation experiences in every area, whether residential, commercial, or retail. CORE 1 delivers a beautiful, intuitive, and responsive 4K on-screen user interface with the ability to create and enhance the entertainment experience for any TV in the building. CORE 1 can orchestrate a wide range of entertainment devices including Blu-ray players, satellite or cable boxes, game consoles, and virtually any product with infrared (IR) or serial (RS-232) control. It also features IP control for TVs, Apple TV, Roku, AVRs, and other network-connected devices, as well as secure, wireless Zigbee control for remotes, lights, thermostats, smart locks, and more.

For entertainment, CORE 1 provides higher quality audio and a second independent zone – one digital audio output, and an HDMI output. The pair of simultaneous audio streams are provided by Ryff, the built-in high-resolution audio server, allowing customers to listen to their local music library, or stream from a variety of leading music services, and AirPlay-enabled devices.
