RECO’s architecture is different from a conventional notebook in that it uses a hard diskless industrial computer platform to run a special embedded Linux OS - this connects to any Windows, Mac or Linux-based computer with standard wireless LAN components. The computer transmits its screen content to Reco and receives back mouse and keyboard commands. There is no software to install on Reco itself - once the driver is installed on the computer, and a wireless LAN connection established, total remote control is possible, including all software installed and OS functions.
Marquee director, Andy Huffer, says this further consolidates the relationship between the two companies, initiated when Texsas developed a cabling system for Yamaha’s PM1D digital desk, for which Marquee is the lead dealer. "This cabling system avoids any contact with the standard Yamaha SCSI connections. Using rigid MIL connectors, together with a specially designed cable, this system ensures the high reliability of the PM1D systems we have supplied out on the road."
The cabling system’s specifications were verified by Yamaha’s R&D in Japan for being compatible with the PM1D's specifications. As a result, the system has now been recommended by Yamaha Europe as a standard for PM1D mobile cabling.
