Automation
IQ-Control
IQ Control bridges the gap between your current base of cinema technology and your new D-cinema equipment. IQ Control is the most flexible automation system ever introduced to the cinema industry.
It can be supplied as a plug-in to the Unique RosettaBridge TMS or as a stand-alone automation system. The software is characterised by an intuitive graphic user interface, which is as easy to use as it is flexible and configurable. The client software can be combined with a touchpanel PC (standard or wireless), offering powerful remote control and monitoring features.
The touchpanel can also be configured as a scene-based conference control unit, rendering additional and costly control systems superfluous.
When installed as a plug-in to the RosettaBridge TMS, IQ Control makes it possible to perform all scheduling and show builds through one common user interface. Not one single piece of cinema equipment will require a separate control path.
The hardware core of the system is a server-grade computer along with an industry grade PLC. An unlimited number of client PCs can be connected to the system. IQ Control can communicate with other equipment in a number of ways, including TCP/IP, RS-232, ModBus, dry relay inputs and dry relay outputs. Other protocols can be implemented upon request.
The software is supplied with support for the most widely used cinema equipment, including D-cinema projectors and servers from all leading manufacturers as well as other equipment such as Dolby audio processors, Yamaha multi-processors, masking control systems, etc.
IQ Control can be purchased with a software maintenance plan, which provides software updates for products which will be installed in the future (pending that Unique is provided with the relevant products' API). Consequently, IQ Control will be constantly updated to a changing operating environment, ensuring that the investment is future proof.
