Maestro software addresses the challenges associated with efficiently managing the rapidly expanding collection of audio-video equipment found in K-12 classrooms. As the 21st century classroom becomes reality, school districts will need to track and support hundreds or, perhaps even, thousands of classroom technology devices across multiple locations. With this shift in scale and responsibility, a network-based, automated tool such as Maestro becomes essential to efficiently manage building and systems costs.
Maestro provides school districts the tools needed to centrally monitor and control projectors, displays, audio and video conferencing systems, audio amplifiers, DVD players and more. Designed to work seamlessly with Calypso Systems’ network-based device controllers, such as ION-LT2 and CB 5000, the browser-based Maestro console monitors and reports on the real-time status of items such as projector lamp and filter hours, power state and input status, while providing an interface for immediate or scheduled control of all attached equipment.
Much of Maestro’s ease of use and flexibility is due to the manner in which it takes advantage of Calypso System’s basic controller architecture, which minimizes network traffic by transmitting data to the Maestro server only when an exception occurs. In addition, Maestro provides automated email alerts for user-defined exception conditions (e.g., projector bulb life has reached 1000 hours) and usage logs and reports.
