Kramer Control BRAINware software will be integrated into Sony’s BZ35F series of BRAVIA 4K HDR professional displays, it was announced today by the companies. Kramer’s control processor software turns the displays into the centerpiece of any AV installation with advanced control, automation and analytics features.
The scalable and future-proof software-based control solution provides sophisticated control and automation tools for virtually any space. From modern meeting rooms to advanced digital signage applications, Kramer Control BRAINware eliminates the need for additional control processor hardware and cabling, greatly simplifying installation and reducing costs.
Kramer’s Control solution will be available for all Sony professional BRAVIA BZ35F series displays and can easily be installed using a USB upgrade license key, which is activated by a local integrator.
Sony’s BZ35F series of BRAVIA professional displays range in size from 43 to 85 inches, include network and serial communication control, and are ideal for professional digital signage, information and monitoring applications, as well as use in meeting rooms, classrooms, lobbies, hotel guest rooms, showrooms, and retail spaces.
