7thSense Updates Its Medialon Manager Show Control Software

Scheduling more in less time is the goal of the new features in the release 7.1 of the software 7thSense Medialon Manager. Allows you to control any audiovisual equipment, lighting, special effects and computer using any protocol and network.

7thSense has announced the release of a new software update to Show Control Medialon Manager. The version 7.1 Brings a significant change to the architecture of hardware products Showmaster LE and Showmaster Pro.

With Medialon Manager 7.1 It is possible to control any audiovisual equipment, lighting, special effects and computer using any protocol and network. Being software-based, integrates with IT infrastructure, such as virtualization environments, for a wide range of applications. Simplifies control of audio and video streaming, Links to the database, Media management and control of the entire facility.

Medialon Manager is a Windows-based show control software that brings together a scheduling interface, a GUI generator and a show execution engine. Its simplicity of use and reliability is the reason why it is widely used in simple and critical control applications, as a media control of museums, Theme Parks & Attractions, Live Shows, Architectural Lighting & Video, Remote Audio and Video Management of Convention Centers…

formerly, Medialon Showmaster Editor software was used to program applications to run on Showmaster LE and Showmaster Pro hardware. A completely new architecture now supports native execution of Medialon Manager 7.1 on Showmaster hardware, Simplifying Programming, Testing and Deployment.

As Medialon Manager is designed to be programmed on a computer, users can enjoy remote access capabilities to Showmaster LE and Showmaster Pro hardware. Windows Remote Desktop tools can be used, VNC and TeamViewer to access Showmaster hardware and schedule and manage files and settings.

"Showmaster LE and Showmaster Pro users will be able to benefit from powerful features that were introduced with Medialon Manager 7 last year, including variables and direct link expressions to elements on the user screen, iframe containers in WebPanels, Labeling & Smart Groups", Explains Eric Cantrell, Marketing Director of 7thSense.

A new web-based configuration interface has also been added, which allows you to transfer project files to and from the Showmaster, as well as changing network and time settings, and view runtime logs without stopping the running project. It also provides a mechanism for managing the project file that runs when Showmaster starts.

End users benefit from flexibility, reliable operation and advanced IT-friendly deployment options. Programmers benefit from streamlined project scheduling, Eliminating the need to create tasks to perform status updates in user interfaces. The result is more concise programming, Faster to create and easier to track and maintain.

Feature enhancements in Medialon Manager 7.1 They focus on making the work of the show control programmer more efficient, Reduce setup times and make it easier to track scheduling by others.

A new built-in feature that expands the richness of user interfaces is the inclusion of external web content within a container in custom-designed WebPanels. This allows content such as video streams from cameras or built-in web interfaces from devices such as projectors to be displayed within the WebPanel user interface, so that both direct device controls and show control system controls are available on the same screen.

Medialon Manager's debug mode allows you to test and adjust the schedule while the project is running and communicating with devices. This greatly reduces programming time, as sequences can be tested, Adjust and retry in seconds. The Timeline Positrack feature commands all devices controlled by the timeline to match what they should be doing at any given position in the timeline, By simply popping the playhead.

The workflow is like a non-linear video editor for all your devices, including lighting, audio, Video and special effects.

Scheduling more in less time is the goal of the new features of Medialon Manager 7.1. Allow show control programmers to complete the same task in less time, with project files that are easier to read and maintain, and provide tools to include existing device controls (such as web pages served by devices) Directly in the Show Control Interface.

The result is more efficient project code that requires less time to create and offers more flexibility, which means programmers can move on to other projects faster.
