Global Caché, a manufacturer of IP, Wi-Fi and HTTP enabling connectivity products for control and automation and iMAGsystems, providers of Lightning, a video over IP product have formed an alliance providing built in integration for Global Caché hardware and Control Tower, Global Caché’s IR database in the cloud, with iMAGsystem’s Lightning. The alliance provides a platform for Global Caché and iMAGsystems to ensure product compatibility and co-promotions to benefit the dealer/installer channels that both companies serve.

Global Caché’s products connect any IR, serial, and contact closure device to a Wi-Fi and/or IP network so it can be controlled, automated, and maintained by network-based software. The company offers other connectivity products and capabilities, including sensor input, IR learning, HTTP communication, and the award-winning Control Tower IR database, available in the cloud.

iMAGsystem’s Video over IP products manage high resolution video sources using standard networking infrastructure. Their products transport HDMI, DisplayPort, IR, Serial, Ethernet data and USB2.0, providing matrixing, video wall and video processing well beyond the capabilities of proprietary Pro AV switching products. The powerful Director software employed by iMAGsystems provides seamless integration of Global Cache product. This makes available a host of new functionality like AnyControl, a method of control which uses other manufactures RS232 commands, eliminating the need to alter original control system code for room upgrade applications.

Global Caché is here and iMAGsystems is here.
