Simplifying Installation Programming,
ManagementandOperation
AMX Device Discovery is a technology integrated
into manufacturers’ products to make programming
easy and operation with an AMX control system
effortless. By embedding this AMX exclusively
designed technology into their products,
industry-leading manufacturers are improving the
way A/V installations are programmed, managed
and operated.
How does it work?
When integrating a serial or IP device that supports Device Discovery,
the AMX Controller (which is always at the heart of the control system)
recognizesthedevice,loadstheappropriatecommunicationsmodule
and the new third party device is automatically installed. The AMX
Controllercanndandinstallthedevicemoduleeitherfromalibraryon
the Controller, or from AMX’s Web site. Device Discovery also allows for
device swapping so that programming changes are not required when
devices are removed or replaced.
