demand exceptional video and audio quality in a
single, unified distribution architecture.”
To further simplify system integration and minimise
costs, OmniStream R-Type can be powered using a
PoE-equipped Gigabit switch or using a dedicated
power supply. They are configured using the free Atlona
Management System (AMS) 2.0 software, which serves
as a centralised portal to monitor and manage an
OmniStream R-Type system.
Krika is a custom installer oriented service. Its ethos
is centered around existing in this age of network-
connected technology, that people rely on their devices
to work 24 hours per day and that when things are
working well, it’s smooth sailing. But what happens
when something stops working reliably? The reality is,
even the finest electronic devices can crash and need
updating from time to time, to get new features and stay
secure. Krika One and Krika Mini are its offering to this
problem and can be installed in all end user’s locations.
The technology can automatically locate and identify
all network connected devices (SNMP, UPNP, HTTP,
SSH, SSL) and can display operational data including
up time, firmware version and expansion devices. It can
monitor system performances and then show this data
on a easy to read dashboard and produce reports. It can
send notifications via email and text if a device stops
functioning properly, remotely reboot or Wake-On-Lan
a large variety of connected devices and it is compatible
with control system, AV gear, security equipment and
much more.
