Calypso Control Systems supported within Stardraw Control

Software providers Stardraw.com are pleased to announce that support for Calypso Control products has been incorporated into their ground-breaking new application, Stardraw Control.

Calypso Control Systems offers control and monitoring products for professional AV applications, while Stardraw Control is a software-based application designed expressly to control applications that contain diverse products. In combination, Calypso and Stardraw products provide system integrators with the tools needed to develop reliable, intuitive and cost-effective control solutions.

Stardraw Control generates standalone, customized programs that can manage and monitor any type of remotely-controlled equipment from any manufacturer using any protocol. This approach frees systems integrators from closed or proprietary architectures and applications, offering instead the ability to create a single application that can control many different products with as much or as little complexity as the end user needs. Stardraw.com has now introduced a driver that supports all Calypso Control device controllers.

Calypso Control products, including the Pro I/O and ION Series of device controllers, are built upon a unique event-database architecture that simplifies solution development. The event database acts as a type of translation table, converting any incoming event (e.g., serial, IR, input or network command) into any sequence of outbound control commands. Developers simply need the network address of the controller and an event number in order to trigger a control sequence. As a result, Calypso products deliver faster development, less complexity and greater reliability. "Stardraw Control plays a very important role in the overall solution", noted David Parish, President of Calypso. "With Stardraw, our customers can develop easy or sophisticated graphical control interfaces, while remaining true to our 'no code-writing' and value-driven philosophies."

Like other Stardraw applications, Stardraw Control 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. Generated control programs are portable and can run on any Windows-enabled device. Stardraw Control can communicate with and control any device using any protocol including TCP/IP, RS232, DMX, IR, EtherSound etc.
