MediaMatrix nControl

Designed to expand the capabilities of the MediaMatrix NION system, the nControl auxiliary hardware/software package provides additional control processing with increased Python scripting capabilities and lets users monitor the operation and status of all devices on a network via SNMP. Devices with serial ports connect to nControl either directly or to a supported network serial server for control and management. The nControl can act as a media server, including audio recording and playback over CobraNet. GPIO expansion enables the use of TTL logic, switches, LEDs and other custom circuitry for additional control-driven functions.
