Control4 driver
TDC Xfinity X1 Control4 Driver
Your client’s streaming apps as one-tap buttons in Control4 Watch, on the Xfinity X1 or Cox Contour box they already have, with no extra streaming box. Free 7-day trial, $70 USD once.
Tap Netflix and Control4 switches to the cable box and opens it, while channels, guide and playback stay on the Control4 remote, touchscreens and app. There’s no IR bud, extra HDMI or custom programming involved.
What it does
Your client’s Xfinity X1 or Cox Contour box already has the streaming apps. The Mini Apps give each one its own button in Watch, with its own name and icon. Netflix is a Netflix button. Disney+ is a Disney+ button. They tap it and they’re watching. The Control4 remote keeps full control of the box the whole time.
There’s no extra streaming hardware and no IR emitter. The driver finds the box on the network by itself, follows it if its IP address changes, and keeps itself up to date.
One site licence covers every X1 box on the controller.
