PRODUCT MANUAL

Intuition HT

Home Theater Switching Application

INTRODUCTION/SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The Intuition HT is an interactive display system designed to showcase home theater systems and accessories. With
this system, customers can easily configure a home theater system and then compare the performance of different
product combinations by substituting system components. Customers can also use the system to get detailed
product information and thus make comparisons between different manufacturers, prices, and options.

USAGE APPLICATIONS

The system offers several retail applications:

• Retail Product Demonstration – The system provides an attractive display to demonstrate audio systems and
accessories to prospective buyers.

• Customer Attraction - When the display is not in use by a customer, it automatically plays a video “attract
loop.” The attract loop is designed to grab the attention of a passing customer and thus increase traffic to the
display.

• Employee Training – The system can help train employees by providing them the ability to test different audio
system combinations.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS/GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

The system is comprised of the following major components:

• Display fixture – cabinet that showcases the home theater components and accessories. It contains the
hardware that connects the audio components together and the switching modules that activate the selected
components.

• Intuition Touch Panel (touchscreen) – flat panel monitor that provides the user interface for controlling the
display. When a customer touches a selection button on the screen, it activates the selected component in the
display.

• Master Control Unit (MCU) – processor that links and controls the touchscreen and switching hardware.
