Kramer Electronics and Sony Electronics Inc. today announced the integration of Kramer Control BRAINware into Sony’s BZ35F series of BRAVIA™ 4K HDR professional displays. The control processor software turns the already impressive displays into the centerpiece of any AV installation with game changing control, automation and analytics features.
The software-based control solution makes it innately scalable and future proof, providing unparalleled control and automation tools for virtually any space. From modern meeting rooms to advanced digital signage applications, Kramer Control BRAINware eliminates the need for additional control processor hardware and cabling, greatly simplifying installation and reducing costs.
Kramer’s Control solution will be available for all Sony professional BRAVIA BZ35F series displays and can easily be installed using a USB upgrade license key, which is activated by a local integrator.
Sony’s popular BZ35F series of BRAVIA professional displays range in size from 43 to 85 inches, include network and serial communication control, and are ideal for professional digital signage, information and monitoring applications, as well as use in meeting rooms, classrooms, lobbies, hotel guest rooms, showrooms, retail spaces and more. The pro series features an all-in-one “system on a chip,” resulting in easy installation and requiring no additional hardware. The displays also include integrated support for HTML5 and open API support optimized for businesses. Additional benefits include a 24/7 rating for non-stop durable and reliable use, Google’s Android 8.0 Oreo operating system, and access to Google’s Play Store library of SmartTV applications.
