All Roland AR Series products such as the AR-200S and AR-3000R Digital Announcement Recorders can now be controlled from any PC using custom user interfaces designed in Stardraw Control. This software allows users to design and programme fully customised, standalone control applications without having to write any code. It supports control of any hardware over any protocol and now includes drivers for Roland's AR Series.
All AR Series products are also available as symbol sets in Stardraw's design and documentation application for professional systems contractors, Stardraw A/V. Symbols include schematic views showing all inputs and outputs for engineering diagrams.
Roland Systems Group's product manager, Neal Tomlinson comments, "Everybody benefits from this relationship," he remarked. "It's a positive step for us as it makes our products even more accessible and easy to use in a systems environment, it's good for Stardraw as it further broadens the appeal and applicability of their product, and of course the end user benefits as well."
Stardraw's Rob Robinson adds, "The beauty of Stardraw Control is that it can control all elements of a system, whether by TCP/IP, RS232, EtherSound, CobraNet or whatever protocol you want."
