Stardraw Control Nominated for Second Major Award at NSCA

Stardraw.com's newest application, Stardraw Control, which is to be formally launched at the forthcoming NSCA show, has been selected as a finalist in the Control Products category of the NSCA Innovations in Technology Awards. Stardraw Control has already been honored with a PLASA Award for Innovation at its preview at London's PLASA show in September 04.

Stardraw's marketing director, Rob Robinson, explained the key features of Stardraw Control that set it apart from other control solutions. "Stardraw Control generates standalone, customized control programs that can manage any type of addressable equipment from any manufacturer using any protocol over any communications infrastructure. Instead of being locked into closed architectures wherever system control, monitoring or signal routing has been required, Stardraw Control offers systems integrators an open, software-based, unified control framework that can manage his entire system with a single application, regardless of system complexity. To our knowledge, no-one else offers such an innovative and flexible system, so to be selected as a finalist from over 120 applicants on the occasion of its official launch is a great honor. We are pleased that Stardraw Control's potential has been recognized in the context of technological innovation at NSCA."

Like other Stardraw applications it is fast, powerful, flexible and easy to use; with a drag-drop interface and intuitive design environment, installers are able to configure systems and control them without having to write a single line of code. Utilization of Microsoft.net technology means that control programs are portable and can run on any Windows-enabled device, from PC to PDA, or Mac, Linux and more. Importantly, Stardraw Control can communicate with and control any device using any protocol. Each protocol represents tens of thousands of products, making Stardraw Control infinitely flexible and scaleable. Protocols currently supported include TCP/IP, RS232, DMX, IR, EtherSound, CobraNET, infra-red, UDP, SNMP and QSC Net.
