Watch this video for an overview of Platinum Technology:

For Individual Shade or Blind Operation 
Platinum Technology uses the familiar point and press line of sight operation, similar to what we have used on previous PowerRise shades and PowerTilt Blinds. The beam is more focused for precise operation. Two-channel operation is still available to provide individual control of adjacent or stacked window coverings

For Group Shade or Blind Control
Platinum Technology uses radio frequency to allow control of a selected group of window coverings that are either in or out of view. It will allow operation of up to four individual groups — or all groups at once.  

This video shows how to operate shades and  blinds with Platinum Technology and how easy it is to program groups for RF control:

Ready to Go Right Out Of The Box
As shown in the video, Platinum technology offers “point-and-press” IR control to raise, lower or tilt window coverings, right out of the box. Programming groups can be accomplished easily in just seconds per blind or shade. It is available with the same specifications as the current PowerRise®, PowerGlide® and PowerTilt™ systems in Brilliance® pleated shades; Country Woods® wood blinds; Duette® honeycomb shades;EverWood® Collection alternative wood blinds; Luminette® Privacy Sheers; Modern Precious Metals® two-inch aluminum blinds; Silhouette® window shadings; and Vignette® Modern Roman Shades. 

Updating Existing PowerRise® and PowerGlide® Systems
Platinum technology can be used to retrofit any PowerRise® or PowerGlide® lifting system made on or after May 1, 2003. 

To retrofit an existing system, the new remote shown above and the new satellite eye, shown at right are added to the system. The new remote, however, may be used to operate ALL existing PowerRise and PowerGlide window coverings. This sort of retrofit is not available for horizontal blinds with the PowerTilt system.  

This video shows how to upgrade an existing PowerRise or PowerGlide system. 
The demonstration is performed on a Duette honeycomb shade, but the technique is the same for Silhouette with PowerRise and Luminette with PowerGlide:

Platinum™ Technology For Hard-Wired Systems
By merging advanced technology and simplicity, Hunter Douglas Platinum™ Technology also delivers the ultimate in window covering control for hard-wired applications. The hard-wired option offers operation with just a touch of the designer wall switch and matching remote control. Installation? Simple. Programming? None. This is home automation at its best.

Home Automation 
Platinum Technology may be easily integrated with new or existing home automation systems. The new integrated receiver technology built in to the wall switch (shown at right) allows for shade operation using Hunter Douglas remote or with a programmable IR remote.  

Order What You Need
Hard-wired Platinum Technology is now available for Duette® honeycomb shades; Silhouette® window shadings; and Vignette® Modern Roman Shades.  System components can be ordered a la carte. The new wall-mounted switch supports both infrared (IR) and radio frequency (RF) control. This single stand-alone switch unit replaces multiple components, control units etc. It may be used to control up to two shade motors, though it is strongly advised to have one switch per shade. The controller provides two customer-defined intermediate shade positions. Wiring is easy to install and no programming is required.
