Overview :

 

The Encore™ system is an open, scaleable platform for full router and facility control that features tight integration with automation systems, third-party tally and UMD systems, and other equipment. This scalable system gives everything from simple crosspoint configuration to real-time centralized and distributed machine control.

With the help of the MxM, you will be able to take (commute) one source to one destination on a special level (layer). You'll be able also to take, in one shot, multiple sources to one or more destination on specific levels.

The connection to the Encore™ is done via Ethernet/TCP/IP.
