Bitlogix Technology Blog

The company Roemtech (www.roemtech.com)  is a longtime Bitlogix partner for classroom control systems and NetControl network projector control software. They recently introduced a new stereo amplifier/mixer with a very interesting Hummbuster technology.  This new technology is switchable allowing flexibility in resolving ground loop issues, should they arise. The PMA-245H is a dual input, 18 volt, 45 watt, plenum rated stereo amplifier/mixer. Enjoy the video presentation.

NetControl 2.0 supports now the LG flat panel displays M3203C and M3703C. Many customers asked us to include support for the LG M3203C and M3703C flat panel displays to our upcoming NetControl 2.0 release. The displays are equipped with network ports and do not require any extra control hardware to monitor and manage them over the LAN or even WAN.

In the next weeks we will add many more projectors and panels. Please check with you Bitlogix sales or support representative if you need to control devices not listed. We probably can help and include those models to a regular software update.

Here is the link to the NetControl 2.0 device list for all supported projectors, flat panel displays and other devices.

NetControl 2 is available as a preview release download. Final version will be available in next couple of weeks. Probably around the InfoComm 2010 show.

We published a NetControl 2.0 beta download link on our website.

NetControl 2.0 is almost ready for final release and we work hard to publish FCS very soon. We added many cool new features to NetControl 2.0. As always, we also added a great number of new projector models and manufacturers to our supported device list. Some highlights are LG, 3M and ViewSonic.

Feedback is always welcome.

The NPC-1 Starter Package software bundled with the Eiki NPC-1 reached the end of its support life-cycle. Please call Bitlogix Sales and purchase a software upgrade. Special upgrade prices are available.

A little history lesson:
The starter software was bundled and sold together with the Eiki NPC-1 serial device server by Eiki International – United States, Eiki Industrial – Japan, and Eiki Deutschland – Germany. Product was introduced 2003 and Bitlogix offered software support to Eiki customers. As far as I remember this was one of the first projector control software packages for LAN and WAN on the market.

Users can upgrade the NPC-1 starter software and purchase NetControl 1.10 for a reduced license fee. Our sales team knows more details.

We just completed the ViewSonic code modules for our upcoming NetControl 2.0 projector control software. This means that NetControl supports the latest ViewSonic DLP network projectors. Here is the list of all new ViewSonic DLP network projectors:

ViewSonic PJD6220
ViewSonic PJD6221
ViewSonic PJD6230
ViewSonic PJD6240
ViewSonic PJD6241
ViewSonic PJD6251
ViewSonic PJD6381
ViewSonic PJD6531w

All ViewSonic projectors have a RJ45 port and can be connected directly to the network. NetControl 2.0 directly communicates with the projectors over the network. No extra control hardware is needed or required (sure, that’s why we developed NetControl software). We actually tested NetControl 2.0 in a test environment with around 600 virtual ViewSonic projectors. Everything works in “real-time” and so far we are more than satisfied. Support and Marketing will add a download link within the next days. Enjoy!
