Minneapolis, MN – January 9, 2012– Bracketron, the leader in mounting solutions and accessories for mobile consumer electronics, announces the new iRoom iDock Landscape with Code Panel. The iRoom iDock is the first powered and motorized in-wall mounting solution for iPad. Ideal for residential and commercial settings, the new model offers a built-in code panel that allows the iPad to be docked and locked in the iDock for added security. A four-digit code locks and unlocks the iPad, and the code can be reset using a back-up code. Available in portrait model, the iRoom iDock with Code Panel can be flush-mounted to seamlessly and stylishly integrate the iPad into any room. A patented motorized docking system opens and closes the iDock to securely store the iPad, and the dock also includes both power and composite audio internal connections. The mount’s faceplate comes in three sleek colors including brushed aluminum, piano black and opal white, or can be color customized so that the bezel perfectly matches your unique interior design. Compatible with both iPad and iPad 2, the iRoom iDock Landscape with Code Panel is available through Bracketron, the official and exclusive distributor for iRoom iDock in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

“The new model of the iRoom iDock offers a built-in code panel that provides additional security in an elegant, powered solution that fully integrates the iPad into a room’s design concept and overall function,” said Christian Johnson, Vice President of Marketing at Bracketron.

The new iDock features a proximity sensor that causes the code panel to light up when you are nearby. When the correct four digit security code is entered, the iDock switches to the open position allowing you to insert your iPad. After ten seconds the iPad door closes again automatically. When the iPad is inserted into the dock, you have total control of smart home applications on the device while it is also being charged. The iDock also automatically charges the iPad battery when mounted.

The iRoom iDock is integrated flush with the wall using a special flush-mounted socket. The iDock is then connected to the power supply and inserted into the flush-mounted socket. The iDock landscape model is particularly suited for viewing movies, presentations and photos on the iPad. A 30-pin connector powers the landscape version. The iDock is also external contact-friendly, which makes interesting new functions possible such as connecting the dock to a keypad or fingerprint entry system.

The continuous development of iPad applications creates new ways and opportunities to integrate iPad products every day. The iRoom iDock is an elegant solution for in-wall docking and control in:

  • Private homes
