Extron has revealed the NAV Pro AV over IP platform can now be controlled by third-party control systems.
This free NAVigator LinkLicense for Third-Party Control enables a Secure Shell (SSH) interface that permits SIS commands from third-party control systems to make and break NAV streaming connections in addition to various other system functions. The NAVigator System Manager is required, and acts as a secure, centralised communication bridge for end-to-end encrypted control of all NAV endpoints.
The third-party control interface facilitates secure switching of NAV encoders and scaling decoders via the NAVigator System Manager as well as the ability to query, configure, and control various system status and parameters.
Extron Pro Series control systems must be used for applications that require control of Secure Platform Devices on NAV endpoints such as RS-232 and IR control ports.
