Design Segmenting

• Design spaces and signal flows first, then allocate hardware as needed.
• Design systems with flexible signal flows that need less hardware.
• Dynamically adjust the input and output of Individual modules to support mono, stereo, or multi-channel audio, with all upstream modules automatically updated.

• Organize processing and control in separate, independent spaces.

   

Site Designing

• Design sites using a wire-free process with a grid, spreadsheet-style methodology.

• Eliminate repetitive tasks, reduce manual effort, and accelerate project timelines.

   

System Scalability

• Create complete solutions without being tied to specific hardware.

• Scale smoothly from designing a small space with just a few components to the largest of sites.

   

Off-line System Validation

• Use signal generation to emulate signal processing and control functionality in real time without being connected to hardware.
• Run the unified Cognio OS directly in the application to test and validate designs and hardware in advance without being connected.

• Real-time signal generation displays indicators through signal path modules.

   

Operations Management

• Commission, Diagnose, Control, Manage and Monitor systems with the application.
• Repeat and share various tasks, including provisioning, configuring, and programming.

• Activate Operation Mode with real-time status, full system metering, and detailed, searchable diagnostics and event logging.

   

Control Screen Creation

• Create vector-based control screens that are unique to user requirements and are visually engaging without writing a single line of code or relying on specialized third-party design software.
• Update control screen designs with just a single click.
• Easily adapt control screens to different panel sizes or aspect ratios.
• Build multi-panel interfaces with built-in navigation and without having to duplicate common controls.

• Reuse designs with custom themes.

   

Design Element Re-use

• Create and reuse themes, spaces, signal processing, and other site aspects.
• Define sets of styles once and reuse them across projects or share with team members.

• Create a library of assets to use across projects.

   

Signal Processing 

• All classes of audio processing modules for signal routing and shaping are provided with easy connecting, replacing, and adding in the grid design interface.

   

Presets

• Set a number of parameters in control presets to be recalled via panels, switches, user devices, control screens, or by third-party controllers.

   

Security

• Manage use and access of Cognio hardware, control screens, and user devices.
• Strong access controls limit end-user access to just those control aspects that are permitted. 

• Default End-to-End Encryption, encrypted disk images secure boot, signed firmware, and secure updates via SFTP.

   

Signal Flow Optimizations

• Create full systems for different spaces without the need for a traditional DSP that include signal processing, AVoIP audio channels, and control in various types of smart Cogniohardware systems.

   

AV over IP Audio Channels

• Route transmit and receive channels of Dante audio between physically separate hardware units, providing a mechanism to build huge multi-unit processing architectures. 

• Configure the Dante network audio buses, set the operating mode of the Dante ports, and manage Dante I/O modules.

   

Device Control

• Connect Symetrix systems, third-party devices, control systems, and monitoring platforms to route signals, assign endpoints, control devices, and more.
• Transmit strings using TCP/IP, or UDP/IP to control third-party devices or use external TCP/IP signals to trigger internal functions.
• End user control options include Symetrix TC Series touchscreens and W-Series controllers, xIO endpoints, end user devices, along with support for third-party control systems such as Crestron and AMX via a flexible JSON RPC control API.
• Consistent Lua driver model for Dante and non-Dante Devices with control via UDP, TCP, HTTP, SSH, and more.
