The Flex Control Network® provides extensive conditional control processing. It operates with signals either internal to itself or received from remote units situated anywhere in the world with a connection to the Internet.
Flex Control Network’s conditional control processing uses Boolean logic, supporting AND, OR, NAND, NOR, and NOT operators. Create a Boolean equation using two signals and one operator, twenty signals and 19 operators, or equations spanning up to 512 characters in length.
Use conditional control equations within other conditional control equations to simplify and organize conditional rules. Share conditional control rules across multiple Flex Control Network units.
Easily add, delete and modify conditional control rules using a web-browser to access Flex’s Combinatorial Event Definition web page. New or modified rules becomes active immediately after clicking on the SAVE button - no reboot required.
Conditional Control rules may use any signal connected to any Flex Control Network unit. It can use physical GPI Inputs, serial based device status, Ethernet based device status, serial / Ethernet based system status, and/or USP or IP Control Buddy key presses.
- Flex Control Network provides easy-to-use tools to create, test and trouble-shoot the conditional control rules created on the combinatorial event definitions web page
- Monitor a specific source on a specific router destination or a specific source on any router destination, a specific source on a production switcher PGM bus, a keyer on/off or an audio-over on/off
- Monitor for a device off-line, an expired watchdog timer, or a system error
- Create conditional control rules by combining any of these inputs to simplify operations, minimize on-air mistakes, and provide operators with the control and feedback they require
