Company Information

Stardraw.com's newest application, Stardraw Control, was honoured with a PLASA Award for Innovation at the recent London show. Stardraw Control offers a new approach to solving the problem of controlling systems comprised of products from many different suppliers.

Stardraw's marketing director, Rob Robinson, explained the key features of Stardraw Control that set it apart from other control solutions. "Stardraw Control creates stand-alone control applications that can manage any kind of product from any manufacturer as long as it can be controlled or monitored remotely. It is designed to support any communications infrastructure and any protocol such as LAN, Wi-Fi, IR, RS232, EtherSound etc. Furthermore, the application that you have created with Stardraw Control will run on any Windows-enabled device from PC to PDA to touchscreen panel, as well as Linux, Mac etc. To our knowledge, no-one else offers such an innovative and flexible system, so we are pleased that its potential has been recognized on the occasion of its launch."

Richard Northwood, prominent industry AV consultant and member of the judging panel agreed. "This year we weren't judging products within category lines, but on the grounds of their innovation alone. The emphasis was on products which advanced the industry, demonstrated a new style of thinking, represented a key step forward in safety terms or improved technical practices. I was particularly impressed with Stardraw Control because I felt straight away that here was a product with the potential to revolutionize system control in the audio-visual industry. The flexibility of its open architecture makes it completely accessible to all manufacturers, whatever standard or protocol they happen to be using, and an astute commercial model suggests there may be a new success story in the offing. I shall be monitoring its progress with great interest."
