nControl and nTouch 180

With the nControl, users can monitor the operation and health of all devices on a network via SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). Devices with serial ports connect to the nControl either directly or to a supported network serial server.

The system supports up to five I/O cards, allowing it to act as a media server including audio recording and playback over CobraNet. An FTP interface allows for transferring audio files across the network to the nControl for recording and playback without requiring a project to be deployed. Additional internal cards and network-connected devices are available to expand the GPIO and serial functionality. The GPIO expansion enables the use of TTL logic, switches, LEDs and other custom circuitry. Support for RS-232, EIA-485 and EIA-422 serial interfaces is available locally to the nControl and connected across the network.

Also new is the nTouch 180, a touch-screen controller for use with MediaMatrix Nion and nControl products. It features a 180mm (7-inch) screen with a resistive touch overlay, allowing stylus or finger operation, and boasts an embedded version of the NWare:Kiosk software. There are three mounting options available for surface, rack, and in-wall applications. It has been designed for connection and installation via a standard Ethernet network and 12VDC power.

The latest release of nWare, version 1.6.0, includes a major upgrade of the User Devices feature to allow users to create their own custom plug-ins, and the addition of “Live Python” capability. The plug-in feature will allow users to combine signal processing, control, images and Python code to create and store custom devices. Live Python is a new way to create and use Python code on running systems. You can edit, test, and modify your python code without needing to re-deploy. Live Python also includes support for external script editors.

A collection of freely available example plug-ins has been created including logic devices with state indicators on all inputs and outputs.
