Kramer Electronics, Ltd. is now showcasing at ISE 2017 an innovative software
solution that creates easy-to-configure, fully-automated and green-friendly meeting
room environments with minimal end-user intervention. The company is displaying
its full range of products and solutions in Booth 1-F20.
“Kramer Maestro’s cost value is providing low-maintenance, remotely- managed
meeting spaces where end-users don’t have to fuss with remotes or touch pads – all
they have to do is show up and connect or plug in,” said David Margolin, Corporate
Marketing Director at Kramer. “This significantly reduces two of the most time-
consuming responsibilities for AV and IT professionals – ongoing support and user
training,” added Margolin.
Offered separately as an enhancement to Kramer products, the solution creates a
series of actions based on a pre-defined event, or trigger, like plugging in a laptop,
scheduling a meeting, or motion detection. These events can trigger actions such as
turning on computers (via Wake-on-LAN) and turning on and off lights, projectors,
displays, video sources, and HVAC.
By ensuring that lights and devices are automatically turned off, Kramer Maestro
helps support a more environmentally-friendly workplace, and over time, saves
organizations significant energy costs.
Integrated with Kramer’s dynamic database of device drivers, there is no end to the
types of actions and scenarios Maestro can execute in virtually any space. Maestro
supports a variety of control formats, including RS-232, Ethernet, GPIO, relay, and
IR. The solution is easy to configure and manage via a user-friendly, browser-based
interface. Maestro can also be managed using Kramer Network, a powerful
enterprise platform for remotely managing and monitoring AV installations.
