TeleAdapt Launches New MediaHub SL for Hotels

TeleAdapt has launched a new MediaHub SL Desktop connectivity panel.

The new option, which costs just under £56, is plug & play and requires little, to no renovations.

Hotel guests can use MediaHub SL to experience their music, videos, photos and other multi-media content from their personal multimedia device through the hotel room’s flat screen HDTV.

Neil Betterton, vice president of product development for TeleAdapt said, “What is great about MediaHub SL is the fact that it has all the audio/video connections a guest would need for watching their Netflix movies, listening to their iTunes playlists or enjoying other content from their mobile device on the in-room TV, including high definition video from their iPad or other tablet. The MediaHub SL also provides a high-current USB power for charging.”

The hotel guest is getting savvier as technology advances every day. Smart hoteliers are responding with simple device-friendly connectivity that protects against guests tampering with the back of the TV or other technology installed in the room.

Betterton explains, “Hospitality will see usage of this connectivity continue to grow as more and more hoteliers recognize the need for this type of amenity in their guestrooms. Right now their guests are sticking their arms behind in-room TVs to connect their multimedia devices. Connectivity panels are a necessary amenity, and we have made it affordable and painless for hoteliers to add it to their guestrooms.”

MediaHub SL Desktop is packaged complete with cabling attached and encased for improved back-end aesthetics with uncomplicated cable running to the TV. A shorter one-meter, or three-foot, cable length option leaves the perfect amount of slack for placing the panel just beside the TV in a clean, clutter-free installation – this means no renovation, no cutouts, no assembly, and no conduit cable running is required. Additional mounting plates are available for added security.

“We also managed to engineer MediaHub SL to be compatible with literally any hospitality TV on the market, new or old,” added Betterton. TeleAdapt’s MediaHub SL Desktop features range from passive mode to integrated auto-switching with the TV or set top box. MediaHub SL can be turned on by using the guest remote control, through prompts in the VOD channel roster or by using an auto-switching feature that utilizes the TV’s serial port and automatically switches the input when the guest plugs in.

“We have thought of everything with this panel range,” claims Betterton. “Better compatibility, universal device connectivity, slim and attractive design, ease of installation … all at an affordable price. I’m excited to see the opportunities TeleAdapt is now offering hoteliers and their guests at all star-level properties for advanced device-friendly TV connectivity.”
