THE BALL
digital technology from ADCOM is the heart of a home theater
system that integrates our award winning designs and
performance with the latest breakthroughs in home
entertainment audio and audio/video components.
Start with an all new "on-screen", "user-friendly"
interface technology that will obsolete all your remote
controls - It can operate basically every audio and video
component you own (or ever will own), and almost any other
remote controllable product you choose.
Now, integrate it with a complete home theater audio
system designed around an ADCOM DOLBY Digital (AC-3) decoder
with the latest and best (of course) MOTOROLA DSP devices to
get the most out of the new DVD technology, an ADCOM
Tuner/Preamplifier with five Surround Sound modes including
DOLBY ProLogic, and all powered by a world-class ADCOM THX
certified amplifier that delivers over 130 watts of power
into 5 channels.
And because ADCOM always builds products for tomorrow as
well as today, THE BALL is HDTV upgradeable and can easily
be customized to add and upgrade any or all of your
components.
ADCOM, for more than 20 years, has been an industry
leader in designing and building state-of-the-art, yet cost
effective, home entertainment products. The first company to
be consistently acknowledged for offering audio and
audio/video components that outperform competitive products
costing two, three, and five times as much.
So it comes as no surprise that when ADCOM develops a
home entertainment system, it represents a whole new level
of technology and innovation that offers a combination of
performance, convenience, and features that everyone else
can only envy.
But wait, there's more. . .
A few years from now you'll probably be able to change
channels, adjust volume, and control all of your home
theater components by using telepathy. Until then, ADCOM
puts the next best thing at your fingertips - THE BALL - so
revolutionary (and evolutionary) that it may just be the
greatest invention since the remote control.
THE BALL is an on-screen (like on your TV screen), user
(like you and your family) interactive control system simply
operated by the same innovation that made computers easier,
faster, and much more fun - the mouse. Yet digitally powered
to control your entire home entertainment system and
more.
The "heart" of THE BALL is a sleek and wireless hand held
controller with just 3 buttons and a ball (hence, the name).
Roll and Click - that's it.
The "brains" of THE BALL, is advanced microprocessing
circuitry with extensive communication links driven by
dedicated software. Don't worry, all this "brains" stuff is
housed in a black box that hides in a closet or cabinet. You
never have to see it or touch it. The only time you'll know
it's there is when your dealer comes to expand your system
or add new components because THE BALL system can be
completely upgraded with almost unlimited growth and
component interactive capabilities.
If it can operate via an infrared remote signal, it can
be part of THE BALL system. If you can't figure out or can't
remember, or are simply tired of your dozen different remote
controls with countless buttons and long forgotten features,
then you must experience THE BALL from ADCOM.
A main on-screen display shows all your audio, video, and
other component choices: DVD, CD, VCR, Cable, DSS (Digital
Satellite System), AM/FM Tuner or any other sources or
electronic devices (like lamps or even outdoor security
cameras) you may have. Then, by rolling THE BALL and
clicking, all the controls of the source component itself
appear on your screen.
 For
example: By clicking on DVD on the main screen, a
separate DVD Player "screen" appears and allows you to
select any of the features your DVD Player has available.
Roll and Click - That's it. Then by clicking on the video
picture it expands back to the full size of the screen.
 Or
by clicking on VCR on the main screen, a separate VCR
"screen" appears and allows you to select any of the
features your VCR has available. Roll and Click - That's it.
Multiple VCR's? No Problem. Simply click on VCR2 from the
main screen. You can even customize names or brands of any
of your components. Roll and Click - That's it. Then click
on the video picture and it expands back to the full size of
your screen.
 Or
click on DSS from the main screen and a separate DSS
"screen" shows all your available station logos. Then click
on the logo for the station you want to watch. Roll and
Click - That's it. Then click on the video picture and it
again expands back to the full size of the screen.
But we did say three buttons. One is the "Click" of the
"Roll and Click" we've been describing above. The other two
are Volume Up and Volume Down. What could be easier? Having
someone else to do it. Except, then they'd be having all the
fun.
And, of course, THE BALL can be designed so when you come
home and you're just too tired to do anything more than push
one button, the whole system will turn on to your favorite
TV station or FM broadcast or CD selection and all you need
to do is sit down and enjoy. The hardest part of THE BALL
system is waiting for your dealer to install it.
THE BALL organizes and simplifies the way an entire home
entertainment system operates. It goes far beyond
conventional remote controls and allows you and your dealer
to assemble a basic or totally comprehensive system without
worrying about how you and/or the components interact. It
directly addresses the needs of today's technophobes who
don't want the hassle of the increasingly complex operation
of their audio, video, and home theater components and
accessories. Because of its extraordinary capabilities, THE
BALL can be easily configured for virtually any system - to
operate almost any remote controllable components or
devices, regardless of their features or
manufacturer(s).
And best of all - it's from ADCOM. So it's designed for
your ears. And what's between them.
