AMX Introduces AMX MUSE Automation Platform and Four New Controllers
HARMAN Professional Solutions, one of the global leaders in audio, video, lighting and
control,
announced its new AMX MUSE Automation Platform, four new MUSE Automation Controllers, and
several
supporting developer resources.
Like no other automation platform on the market, AMX MUSE tears down traditional barriers to AV
control ingenuity. The MUSE Automation Controller family features powerful, secure, and reliable
devices that provide a dedicated computing resource for running the AMX MUSE automation platform.
MUSE Controllers can simultaneously process a virtually unlimited number of scripts written in
JavaScript, Python, or Groovy and natively support Low-Code development with Node-RED.
Featuring a modern embedded processor that's 10x faster than previous AMX NX Controllers, MUSE
Controller models integrate bountiful memory, and rugged, industrial grade eMMC storage. Built on
HARMAN's secure Linux platform, MUSE Controllers are also designed to surpass the requirements of
the most secure installations.
Additionally, these Controllers natively support HARMAN's HControl (open-API), HiQnet (legacy HARMAN
audio devices), and ICSP (legacy AMX control devices) protocols, making them the ideal automation
processor for any space, environment, or application - old and new.
"Thanks to an incredibly loyal and discerning user base, we've had many successes over the decades
inventing and re-inventing what control automation should be to push the boundaries of what's
possible," said Nick Czapla, Product Manager of HARMAN Professional Video and Control. "And
while
exceeding the needs of users will always be our biggest motivator, we engineered the MUSE platform
to equally support the evolving needs of system integrators and developers. Examples include the
inclusion of multiple scripting language support and native no-code/low-code programming to support
the varying skillsets and language capabilities of developers that will define MUSE possibilities
not yet imagined."
"I've been honored to work so closely with tremendously talented customers and partners, many of
whom have vastly different skillsets, and both programming and non-programming backgrounds," said
Jamie Trader, Vice President of Video and Control, HARMAN Professional Solutions. I have to
say, AMX
MUSE was inspired by them. This new platform is a love letter to them, celebrating their diversity,
their cleverness, and their deep drive to abandon the constraints of conventional Pro AV. The early
reactions have exceeded all expectations - and I couldn't be more thrilled for people to finally
experience automation the way they want to have it: leveraging their tools, supporting their
workstreams, and being inspired by all the possibilities that means to them."
HIGHLIGHTS:
MULTIPLE SCRIPTING LANGUAGE SUPPORT - To ensure that AMX MUSE is versatile enough to support a
wide
range of developers, multiple scripting languages are supported including Python, JavaScript, and
Groovy.
NATIVE NO-CODE/LOW-CODE PROGRAMMING - To support No-Code/Low-Code programming, AMX MUSE
includes
native support for visual flow-based development using the Node-RED development tool.
MULTIPLE SIMULTANEOUS SCRIPT SUPPORT - AMX MUSE Automation Controllers feature a modern
embedded
processor that's 10x faster than previous AMX NX Controllers to run a nearly unlimited number of
scripts simultaneously.
INDUSTRIAL GRADE STORAGE - To ensure the utmost in reliability, AMX MUSE Automation
Controllers
include robust, onboard eMMC storage to deliver decades of high-access 24/7 mission-critical
operation.
BUILT FOR THE MOST SECURE ENVIRONMENTS - AMX MUSE Automation Controllers are engineered to surpass
the requirements of the most secure environments and are ideal for supporting government, financial,
and other applications with ultra-secure needs.
