NovaStar’s Visual Intelligent Control Platform (VICP) is designed to meet the growing demand for centralized management and visualization. Whether you’re overseeing a large-scale video wall, monitoring environmental peripherals, or controlling multimedia content, VICP offers a comprehensive solution for a wide range of applications, from conference rooms to smart city data centers.
1. What is NovaStar VICP?
The NovaStar Visual Intelligent Control Platform (VICP) is a comprehensive, visualized control solution designed for managing multimedia, display systems, and environmental peripherals in fixed installation applications. Ideal for settings like exhibition halls, immersive experiences, conference rooms, media centers, and command centers, VICP provides seamless integration across various systems.
The platform enables full visual operation, offering a “what you see is what you get” interface that enhances control precision and relevance during live operations. Its intuitive and interactive user interface simplifies complex tasks, providing a smooth experience for operators. By streamlining device and system management, VICP boosts operational efficiency while providing accurate control in real-time.
VICP integrates perfectly with NovaStar Technology‘s hardware lineup, including video wall splicers, media servers, audio systems, and environmental control devices. This all-in-one solution allows operators to control multiple systems with ease.
2. Key Features of Nova VICP
Comprehensive Centralized Control: VICP allows for intelligent, unified management of all devices within a system. Whether it’s controlling video broadcasting, large-screen displays, or environmental factors, everything can be integrated and scheduled through a single platform. This centralization simplifies the operation and management process, making it easier for users to oversee and control complex setups.
Full-Scene Visualized Operation: With VICP, users can access real-time previews of input signals, monitor displays, and manage layouts. The system supports one-click switching between media programs, scenes, and signal sources, ensuring seamless transitions. It also offers IPC preview capabilities and the ability to control PTZ cameras with a single click, making it a highly efficient tool for dynamic environments.
Remote Desktop Functionality: The platform’s software KVM feature allows for remote desktop access, enabling operators to manage systems from anywhere. This adds flexibility and increases operational efficiency, as users can monitor and control devices without being physically present.
Audio Management Integration: VICP works in coordination with the DAP series audio processors to manage audio input and output adjustments. This integration ensures precise audio control alongside visual elements, providing a comprehensive multimedia management experience.
Digital Signage Control: VICP can also interface with the TB series controllers to manage and distribute media content across multiple digital signage displays. This allows users to release and schedule media across various locations with ease.
