The Pro A/V market is growing & going mainstream, not fading
That will attract more competitors
Dealers are more important than ever
Need to adapt to the new market
The future is about video and IP networks, together
Make friends with IT. They own the network
Complexity and integration will increase
“Green” isn’t going away anytime soon

NetLinx controllers
Set number of control ports
Expand using cards – RS232, IR, Relay, I/O etc.
Cards can be remote using ICSNet
Systems also expanded using additional controllers

Expansion comes at a price
Additional programming
Additional cabling
Additional rack space
Customer Needs
29
© AMX 2011 | All Rights Reserved
Dealers sometimes need more ports in AMX Central Controller
Dealers have to connect devices located far from a Controller
How do Dealers address it today?
Master to Master
Net Module Shell and ICSNet Cards
AxLink Device Control Boxes
Third party solutions
There’s got to be a better way!
