The new digital products from AMX have been well received; giving users an unrivalled experience, while at the same time reducing the complexity of the control system architecture and making the system future-ready.
system, whilst an AXB-REL8 controls closure activated devices, acting as an eight-channel relay control port on the AxLink bus. The blinds, blackout shutters, microphones and speakers are also all seamlessly integrated. Fingertip control of the automation elements is afforded by an AMX App for Android which transforms the bank’s 10” Samsung tablets into fully functional wireless touch panels.
AMX Enova technology is at the heart of this impressive installation
Like its Apple counterpart, this innovative application connects as a native AMX device to the DVX’s integrated NetLinx controller to provide real-time, touch control of all the automation functions. Developed in conjunction with authorised product partner Touch Panel Control, the AMX App for Android supports all of the G3/G4 core command set directly, without the need to reprogram or adjust existing systems. And, unlike other solutions, the application interacts directly with the system controller to provide full MJPEG video support, control and feedback, as fast as a regular panel. Additionally, one of the three conference rooms also boasts a Modero NXV-300 virtual touch panel which affords all the

intelligence and ease of use that only a touch panel can offer, but from a remote location. This small rack-mountable device allows Volksbank Wilferdingen-Keltern technicians to access their system from any PC or Mac via a Virtual Network Connection (VNC). This innovative solution gives the bank a cost effective secondary control interface and convenient back-up in case the Samsung tablets are inaccessible and allows system administrators to offer enhanced help desk support. So, with their streamlined approach and operational efficiency, both the Enova DVX and Volksbank WilferdingenKeltern are a testament to the many benefits of technological
