7thSense updates its Medialon Manager show control software

Program more in less time is the goal of the new features of the version 7.1 of the software 7thSense Medialon Manager. Allows you to control any audiovisual equipment, lighting, of special and computer effects using any protocol and network.

7thSense has announced the release of a new software update show control Medialon Manager. The version 7.1 brings a significant change to the architecture of hardware products Showmaster LE and Showmaster Pro.

Con Medialon Manager 7.1 it is possible to control any audiovisual equipment, lighting, of special and computer effects using any protocol and network. Being software based, integrates with IT infrastructure, such as virtualization environments, for a wide range of applications. Simplifies control of audio and video streaming, links to the database, media management and control of the entire installation.

Medialon Manager is a Windows-based show control software that brings together a programming interface, a GUI generator and a show execution engine. Its simplicity of use and reliability is the reason why it is widely used in simple and critical control applications., as museum media control, theme parks and attractions, live shows, architectural lighting and video, remote audio and video management of convention centers…

Previously, Medialon Showmaster Editor software was used to program applications to run on Showmaster LE and Showmaster Pro hardware. A completely new architecture now supports running Medialon Manager natively 7.1 on Showmaster hardware, which simplifies programming, testing and implementation.

Since Medialon Manager is designed to be programmed on a computer, Users can enjoy remote access capabilities to Showmaster LE and Showmaster Pro hardware. Windows Remote Desktop tools can be used, VNC and TeamViewer to access Showmaster hardware and schedule and manage files and settings.

“Showmaster LE and Showmaster Pro users will be able to benefit from powerful features introduced with Medialon Manager.” 7 last year, including variables and direct link expressions to user screen elements, iframe containers in WebPanels, tagging and smart groups”, explains Eric Cantrell, director of Marketing de 7thSense.

A new web-based configuration interface has also been added, allowing you to transfer project files to and from the Showmaster, as well as change network and time settings, and view runtime logs without needing to stop the running project. Also provides a mechanism to manage the project file that runs when Showmaster starts.

End users benefit from flexibility, Reliable operation and advanced IT-friendly deployment options. Programmers benefit from optimized project scheduling, eliminating the need to create tasks to perform status updates on user interfaces. The result is more concise programming, faster to create and easier to follow and maintain.

Feature improvements in Medialon Manager 7.1 focus on making the show control programmer's job more efficient, reduce setup times and make it easier to track programming done by others.

A new built-in feature that expands the richness of the user interfaces is the inclusion of external web content within a container in custom-designed WebPanels. This allows content such as video streams from cameras or embedded web interfaces from devices such as projectors to be displayed within the WebPanel user interface., so that both direct device controls and show control system controls are available on the same screen.

Medialon Manager debug mode allows you to test and adjust programming while the project is running and communicating with devices. This greatly reduces programming time, since the sequences can be tested, adjust and try again in seconds. The Positrack timeline function commands all devices controlled by the timeline to conform to what they should be doing at any given position on the timeline, just popping the playhead.

The workflow is like a non-linear video editor for all your devices, including lighting, the audio, video and special effects.

Programming more in less time is the goal of the new Medialon Manager functions 7.1. Allow show control programmers to complete the same task in less time, with project files that are easier to read and maintain, and provide tools to include existing device controls (as web pages served by devices) directly in the show control interface.

The result is more efficient project code that requires less time to create and offers more flexibility., meaning programmers can move on to other projects faster.
