Symetrix continues its release of dynamic IP remote controls with the T-5 Gen 2 Touchscreen controller.
‘The T-5 Touchscreen Controller has enjoyed a successful first year in the Symetrix product lineup. With the Gen 2 upgrade, which adds a modern look its electronic performance deserves, it will take an even stronger position in the Symetrix line-up of best-in-class system controllers,’ says Symetrix CEO and owner, Mark Graham.
Both the original T-5 and T-5 Gen 2 have a 5-inch capacitive-touch, LCD screen that mounts in US or EU back boxes, which are equally comfortable mounted on the wall or in the optional desk stand. These options lend maximum flexibility to the design and placement of control end points. Cosmetic changes to the T-5, with removal of the external bezel, allow the T-5 Gen 2 to be used in an array of different spaces, while retaining the functionality of the original T-5.
The hi-res T-5 screens are developed in Composer software, where there is a comprehensive toolset for manipulating images, text, and control objects for convenient workflow. Logos, instructions and backgrounds can be added, and custom buttons and link multiple pages for increased capability and wider control created. Completed screens are exported as SymVue files. Installing the finished screens into the T-5’s onboard storage is a simple process. The batch function allows convenient exporting to a group of units.
The T-5 uses SymVue, the Symetrix technology used for creating customized Graphic User Interfaces. A SymVue screen interacts with a Composer DSP via direct network connection. This communication supports live metering of audio signals, live previews of network video content, and real time control of any aspect of the A/V system.
In addition to T-5, SymVue is available in Windows or web browsers supporting HTML5 (via Control Server). Mobile devices navigate to the Symetrix Control Server and log on to hosted SymVue pages. Identical layouts and screens can be exported to the T-5 and Control Server for a consistent look and feel across permanent and mobile controls. All command activity is managed by the DSP in real time, keeping all controllers in sync.
The T-5 Gen 2 Touchscreen Controller will begin shipping in Q2 2020.
