Multicon enables you to control third-party equipment using software plug-ins, which makes it one of the industry’s most flexible integrated control systems. The product comes with a software development kit that is available to selected partners.

In the new architecture, all control data is processed and stored in the Multicon system controller. This means that control data like virtual routers, salvos, mnemonics and parameters, can be defined once and efficiently used in many different control panels, multi-viewers, UMD/tally or automation systems.

Multicon’s salvo feature allows you to set multiple VikinX router crosspoints and Flashlink parameters in a single command. Multicon can also create a new salvo by taking a snapshot of the current configuration. This gives you the power to define preset configurations across one or multiple VikinX routers and Flashlink cards.

A key advantage of the new Multicon system controller is its ability to control solutions that combine the power of VikinX routers with Flashlink signal processing cards from a common user interface.

The new Multicon family consists of these products

Multicon GYDA enables you to control Flashlink parameters like video format conversion and audio embedding from VikinX Modular control panels. The product also comes with support for VikinX Sublime and Compact routers that enables you to control Flashlink cards and VikinX routers from the same control panel.

Multicon VX-SLC enables you to control your entire VikinX Sublime and Compact router infrastructure over TCP/IP from either VikinX Modular or Sublime control panels. The product replaces the existing ETH-CON product.

Multicon VX-MOD enables you to control your VikinX Modular router and also comes with support for VikinX Sublime and Compact routers. It includes support for the Pro-Bel protocol commonly used for integration with automation systems. The product replaces the existing Multicon VX-MOD product.
