Control Concepts, Inc., the Fairfield, N.J.-based software developer for the AV industry, announced the expansion of its Control Concepts Supported Product program. The program now features the addition of AtlasIED Atmosphere and Hunter Douglas PowerView Gen 3, joining its inaugural member, AVPro Edge MXNet.
“The Control Concepts Supported Product program has received an overwhelmingly positive response from both manufacturers and programmers seeking a definitive way to distinguish products that have authorized, proven and supported control modules, drivers and plugins,” remarks Steve Greenblatt, Control Concepts president and founder.
He continues, “There are a lot of rogue solutions that programmers can find themselves implementing without knowing. The Control Concepts Supported Product program brings to light products that have authorized control solutions. [These] are backed by the manufacturer, endorsed by the control platform and actively supported by our experienced team of developers. Programmers in the field can rest assured that these products will be controlled effectively; and that they will receive the technical support they need to resolve any programming challenges.”
Benefits of the Program
Manufacturers with Control Concepts Supported products benefit from the knowledge, experience and reputation built over 25 years of the company’s history, per a statement.
Control Concepts Supported Products also offer specifiers confidence in choosing these products over alternatives. According to the company, the alternatives may not offer the same ease of control, programming, integration and interoperability. “When it comes to controlling products, we have found that even the best written and most fully vetted modules, drivers, and plugins do not ensure successful project outcomes,” shares Brittany DiCesare, Control Concepts client success manager.
DiCesare adds, “It is our top-notch technical support and assurance that products will be controlled effectively, even when firmware versions change, that programmers and manufacturers really appreciate.” According to the company, the program sets a new standard in the industry as it empowers integrators and programmers. Here, users can rely upon products with proven control backed by a company who understands the needs and challenges of AV programmers.
