LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics
announced today that its 2018 LG OLED and LG SUPER UHD TVs, which
were unveiled this week at CES® 2018, will feature
Control4® Simple Device Discovery Protocol (SDDP)
technology. The integration enables LG to offer automation-ready
televisions for consumers worldwide.
Control4 Corporation is a leading provider of automation and
control solutions for the connected home. Products like flat-panel
TVs, projectors, audio/video receivers, security cameras, alarm
panels, and other network-aware products can be easily integrated
into consumers' smart and connected homes via Control4 technology.
With SDDP, the Control4 home automation system automatically finds,
identifies, authenticates, adds and connects the SDDP-enabled
devices nearly instantaneously during initial installation and
set-up – dramatically reducing the complexity and configuration
time for Control4 installers, and reducing potential
incompatibility with other devices. For more information, visit

"The addition of Control4 SDDP technology to our 2018 LG OLED
and SUPER UHD TVs will make integration with a Control4 system easy
and seamless for installers for a great connected home experience,"
said Tim Alessi, head of product
marketing at LG Electronics USA.
"The integration of exciting new products like the 2018 LG OLED
and LG SUPER UHD TVs into Control4 projects delivers an exceptional
experience for both the dealer and the consumer. Control4 is
dedicated to providing our dealers with the flexibility to include
the very best consumer electronics, seamlessly, into a Control4
smart home," said Jeff Dungan, Sr.
Vice President of Business Development for Control4. "Our
partnership with LG further exemplifies our commitment."
This week at CES, LG raised the home entertainment experience to
another level with the introduction of LG ThinQ® artificial
intelligence (AI) and an advanced image processor in its newest LG
smart TV lineup, including OLED and SUPER UHD TVs. LG ThinQ allows
the implementation of hundreds of voice requests utilizing the
company's own webOS smart TV platform as well as third-party AI
services.
Control4 SDDP technology makes it extremely easy for 2018 LG
OLED and LG SUPER UHD TVs to seamlessly integrate into a Control4
automation installation. LG's 2018 OLED (including the LG SIGNATURE
OLED W8 "Picture on Wall" and E8 "Picture on Glass" series) and
SUPER UHD TVs support Advanced HDR by Technicolor, building on a
legacy of supporting all major HDR formats – from the premium Dolby
VisionTM to HDR10 and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) – for
access to the largest spectrum of high-quality HDR content
available.
Visitors to CES can experience LG's full 2018 TV lineup at booth
