ISAAC Bridge
ISAAC is a multifaceted platform from Smart Monkeys that redefines the way AV systems are deployed, monitored and managed. Covering a spectrum of elements from lighting and audio to video projections and displays, it allows users to monitor and manage all elements of an AV system from a single on-premise portal without the need for internet connection. Users are also able to distribute and schedule content playback remotely using ISAAC.
Integrating ISAAC with Designer extends its functionality to both technical and non-technical users, enabling the user to remotely monitor and manage the Disguise platform alongside their wider AV system- removing the need for 24/7 on-site monitoring. ISAAC bridge creates a simplified and unified experience for users running fixed installation projects.
