The integration of CNL’s IPSecurityCenter with Barco’s controller offers customers a one-stop shop for a Control Room management and visualisation solution.
The two companies share the same goal of delivering technology to meet the strict requirements of Control Rooms, wherein operators need to take critical decisions in the blink of an eye. Barco has provided networked video walls and Control Room management software for reference installations worldwide. CNL is a pioneer in the rapidly growing global PSIM market.
This solution has been applied and tested in both fully IP-based and hybrid environments. CNL and Barco have worked on several international critical infrastructure projects together, which has helped build this strategic relationship.
Choosing Best of Breed technology
Keith Bloodworth, the CEO of CNL, told SMT Online: “As a leading solutions provider in the Integrated Situation Management and PSIM software markets, IPSecurityCenter is deployed in some of the most demanding security environments in the world. One of our greatest strengths is our ability to allow end users to choose Best of Breed technology, and to do this we work closely with leading manufacturers.”
Bloodworth added: “Barco is internationally renowned for its cutting-edge visualisation technology, especially in mission critical environments such as command and control centres. We are pleased to work with them, and our integration with their technology will see us working on more command and control centre deployments together in the near future.”
Shane O’Reilly, the sales manager for the security and monitoring division at Barco, commented “We’re excited to work with CNL. Its integrated command and control software is helping to define the Control Rooms of tomorrow, and complements our range of high-end visualisation products. Barco has always worked closely with technology partners like CNL, as development together gives customers a seamless solution with greater functionality and, ultimately, a more secure system.”
