Integrated Control and Monitoring of Networked Multimedia Systems

Increasingly, manufacturers of professional multimedia equipment such as projectors, signal processors, amplifiers, etc. are providing control software for their equipment. In a complex installation, the result can be a bewildering array of software and hardware interfaces for installers and operations staff. Technical Multimedia Design has extensive experience in designing and implementing integrated control and monitoring systems. We work with installers to make sure that pitfalls are avoided and that network integration of your multimedia resources is handled correctly the first time, avoiding costly service calls and system downtime. We provide operations staff with a simple integrated graphic user interface which will reduce staff training requirements. We integrate information gathering and display from multiple systems to facilitate proactive maintenance response and allow users to realize the benefits of investing in computer control systems.
