Remote Control
Remote control is a core feature of MediaMatrix hardware products. NWare, for example,
connects to different nodes, including NioNodes and nControl nodes, as remote control
software.
There are two categories of remote control:
Native
Used to set up and control nodes directly using
software designed for the purpose, i.e. NWare.
External
Comprises protocols, e.g. RATC, that you can use to
control MediaMatrix devices from other control
systems.
Native Control
NWare : Design
NWare : Design, or simply NWare, is the software application that you use to design projects
for MediaMatrix devices. You can use it to remotely control devices and manage a number of
tasks, including logging, device status monitoring, project deployment and scripting.
For more information, refer to the NWare User Guide.
NWare : Kiosk
NWare:Kiosk or just Kiosk, is a control only application, which is launched by running the
NWare application with the personality command line argument. Kiosk allows the user access
to a design created in NWare, but not to change its configuration.
For more information, see Running NWare in Kiosk mode in the NWare User Guide.
nControl / nTouch 180 devices and SNMP
NWare includes devices specifically for use with nControl and nTouch 180 nodes.
Communication with the majority of these devices takes place using SNMP. Since NioNodes
do not have the ability to read and write SNMP values, these devices are specifically for
nControl and nTouch 180 projects.
