MOUNT VERNON, NY – Key Digital, Inc. – December 13, 2018 – Key Digital, the leaders in digital video and control systems, discusses the game-changing implementation of the cost-effective Compass Control Professional control system software suite in classrooms and education markets. Key Digital has aligned itself with the goals of the education market, and strives to provide simple and user-friendly controls that enhance the education experience.

With recent stunning updates to the GUI, Compass Control Pro is the most modern control system in the AV industry. The fully integrated control system is built from the ground up and replaces traditional control interfaces with the end-user’s preference of iOS devices. This fully customizable control system features innovative and flexible solutions scalable to any size and all delivered in an elegant and user-friendly interface.

“With technology becoming a greater part of classrooms in K-12 and collegiate levels there is an increased need for a unified interface for control. Key Digital’s HDMI switching and extension products have already been a go-to solution in classroom AV, and we are now seeing that brand awareness turn into end-user demand for our Compass Control Professional System,” said Jonathon Ferry, National Training Manager for Key Digital. “Key Digital’s decision to use iOS devices as the Compass Control Pro interface takes the concept of ‘user-friendly’ one step further. There is not a staff member present in any education market that cannot intuitively navigate the control system on their iPad.”

Key Digital’s unparalleled control system has always focused on user experience. In the education market this translates to letting teachers and professors concentrate on their curriculum instead of scrutinizing various remotes and equipment racks. The engineers and designers at Key Digital formulated the ideal user experience that is fast, reliable, easy to navigate, and unmatched in GUI Interface architecture. The most current update to the popular control system builds off of the existing software suite with exciting new look and feel, features, and functions. The new GUI is now even more user-friendly and modern with an easily understood homepage featuring large scenario buttons that configures the room or allows users to enter the various areas of multi-zone systems. Upon entering a scenario the user may easily access useful content of their current room configuration or zone. A large view of the control for their video, audio, signage, lights, shades, HVAC, security, and power devices from Compass Alliance Partners provides only the necessary controls and feedback ensuring a simplified experience for all.

With Key Digital’s popular Compass Alliance Partners components of Compass Control Pro instantly integrate with devices and systems from partners such as Lutron, Leviton, Honeywell, KNX, and many additional industry leaders to create a simple plug-n-play system. With enabled control drivers and pre-configured GUI templates the process is streamlined with reduced programming time.
