The new Kramer Brainware harnesses the capabilities of Kramer Control, a cloud-based control system designed to let IT and AV managers easily control, monitor and support A/V installations, infrastructures, and any third-party devices. According to a company announcement, the new system uses the first-ever cloud-based system builder that has replaced old-fashioned custom-code setup with an intuitive, drag-and-drop interface. With the help of a comprehensive library of smart drivers, we’re told that users can easily install, configure, and modify their control system without any prior programming knowledge. Kramer Brainware enables acting on real-time data-driven analytics, alerts and reports via the Kramer Control Dashboard.
Kramer Brainware is a software-only master controller processor designed to simplify A/V and IT control installations. Containing all of the control logic, design, and attributes of the previously available Kramer Control platform, Kramer Brainware transforms a Kramer KT-107 touch panel to a fully functional Kramer Control processor brain, without requiring additional physical processor hardware.
KT-107 touch panels running Kramer Brainware enable users to control any device connected to the facility’s network, such as switchers, scalers, video displays, audio amplifiers, media players, sensors, screens, shades, door locks, lights, AC, and more.
“Kramer’s control offering continues to expand as part of the company’s corporate strategy," says Keren Lipshitz, director of control at Kramer. “At Infocomm we are showcasing two upcoming solutions integrating Kramer Brainware – pre-installed on a single server for a multi-space deployment and with Via Connect Plus as part of Kramer’s move towards software-driven multi-functional platforms," adds Lipshitz.
