Strasis System's Limelight XE™ Control Center Software Now Fully Supports P.I. Engineering X-keys® Programmable Keypads
All Limelight XE™ clients along with a new driver fully support X-keys® keypads and keyboards for enhanced user interface and operator stations.
For the operator's console, all alarm management functions such as Acknowledge, Shelve, Suppress, Silence and more can be assigned to various keys on any X-keys® keypad or keyboard. There are over 40+ functions that can be assigned to any key which allows operators to configure the console to their needs. In addition, multiple X-keys® keyboards can co-exist on a single computer and be used simultaneously with any of the Limelight XE™ clients or server driver.
The Limelight Interface Architect and Display Clients have also been modified to support X-keys® keyboards allowing access to any control that supports state information (e.g. clicking on or off, selecting, etc.). This feature can be used to create dual mode controls where an operator can either click, touch or press and X-keys® keyboard to initiate a function. Adding support is as simple as providing the unit ID and key number from the setup dialog in the properties of the control. Strasis Systems3 has also released a tutorial2 for integrating X-keys® keyboards with display walls or user consoles.
P.I. Engineering has been designing, manufacturing and selling computer input hardware providing a robust and reliable man-to-machine connection since 1993. With hundreds of thousands of devices in studios, laboratories, offices and homes worldwide, they have established a reputation as a global leader in input solutions. The large selection of well tested, input control devices is perfectly suited to creating a command-and-control center of any size.
