Myth 1:

Command and control technology is always hardware-intensive, requiring server racks and extensive cabling.

Myth Buster:

With  visability from Activu, critical operations view and collaborate using any real-time content on video walls, in control rooms, remote, and mobile devices, without the miles of cabling and extraneous black boxes and switches.

All this can be done with a small amount of hardware and cabling.

Control Rooms: The Information Hub

Control rooms serve as the nerve center for organizations, where vast amounts of information flow and critical decisions are made. Traditionally the assumption has been that an extensive (and expensive) hardware setup is necessary to monitor and deliver essential information effectively. The visability platform renders this belief outdated. Innovations like AV-over-IP and cloud computing have revolutionized how the most advanced control rooms operate, significantly reducing their reliance on hardware.

Streamline Operations with visability

No silly black boxes, no miles of cabling.

With visability software from Activu, control room operators can seamlessly manage critical information through the smallest hardware footprint available anywhere, and gain added features and flexibility via the cloud. This allows instant and automated collaboration during incidents without heavy hardware investments and maintenance. Visability delivers visual content to users anywhere and on any device—whether it’s in a control room, out in the field, or on a smartphone.

Key Benefits of visability:

  • Scalable: Grows with your organization’s needs.  
  • Secure: Protects your critical data. 
  • Affordable: Eliminates unnecessary hardware costs. 
  • Future-Proof: Stream any content into the common operating picture, whatever the future throws at you. 

 
And the best part? You can gain all these benefits with your existing videowall screens, while planning future control room upgrades. (See Myth 14 if you’re curious why)
