The VNM Enterprise Controller is a dedicated controller for VN‑Matrix® systems. It simplifies management of large VN‑Matrix deployments, providing the ability to manage and dynamically control one or many VN‑Matrix systems from a single user interface.

Every VN‑Matrix system includes a basic embedded Web browser interface for configuring the operational settings for encoders and decoders. The embedded interface is useful in smaller systems limited to a few units or systems that will be left in a fixed operational state. VNM Enterprise Controller provides the greater processing capacity required to efficiently manage, configure, and dynamically control large VN‑Matrix systems. The VNM Enterprise Controller’s embedded web interface allows users to quickly organize and sort all devices in a system based on different properties such as: unit status or type, operating mode, source, controller, or firmware version. VN‑Matrix devices can be selected in groups, and common configuration properties can be applied to all devices. Firmware can also be uploaded to all devices or a group of devices in one action. Multiple VNM Enterprise Controllers can be applied in VN‑Matrix systems, providing control over the entire system or independent clusters of VN‑Matrix devices.

VNM Enterprise Controller can also be used to create streaming and recording system presets that can be recalled directly from an external control system. Each preset captures all device settings and defines specific streaming connection and recording actions. Recall of various streaming and recording presets greatly simplifies management and control of VN‑Matrix systems.

Two VNM Enterprise Controller units can be configured to operate together as a redundant system for mission-critical applications. One unit is configured as a primary unit, and the other as a secondary unit. System data is continuously synchronized between the redundant pair. The secondary unit continually monitors the primary unit’s system health and seamlessly takes control if required. Control is automatically returned to the primary unit if required, maintaining transparent communications and control over the VN‑Matrix system.

The VN‑Matrix Enterprise Controller is required when:

  • More than 10 VN‑Matrix units are configured into a system
  • VNR 100 or VN‑Matrix Recorder is integrated into a system
  • A system of VN‑Matrix units are interfaced to an external control system requiring dynamic control of the units in a switching solution
  • Preset streaming and recording configurations must be prepared and recalled
  • Multiple domains of VN‑Matrix units must be operated as into one large system or independent clusters
