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 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 did we 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 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 just 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 other components interact. The ball can be 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.
