Fusing technological artistry with cosmetic functionality, Active MatriX represents Clarion’s further understanding of HMI technology. For 2006, Clarion’s remastered Active MatriX technology expands to two new source unit models, both of which utilise touch-panel control to minimise the use of function buttons and knobs. The cosmetic functionality of these units doesn’t stop there, however. Along the bottom edges of each new Active MatriX display are
four half circles, designed directly into the faceplate of each source unit. More than just cosmetic embellishments, these grooves serve as finger markers when controlling the unit. This is cosmetic integration at its best … this is Active MatriX.
