Axon’s Cortex System Provides Control of Workflow

In today’s multiplatform, multipurpose broadcast world, the need to repackage content demands mastery of a broad diversity of workflows. Cortex, a software-based control platform developed by Axon, is designed to provide that easily and cost-effectively. The latest version of Axon’s Cortex software application provides comprehensive tools to configure, monitor, and maintain a diversity of devices, including Axon’s Synapse range of control modules and third-party products.

Like all Axon products, the evolution of Cortex has been heavily influenced by customer feedback. As a result, it is also highly customizable and intuitive to operate. Flexibility is essential. Cortex delivers a common control and monitoring interface for 290+ processing modules in the Synapse range, plus a wealth of devices — routers, waveform monitors, receiver decoders — from different manufacturers using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).

AXON systems also reduce total cost of ownership. Cortex is supplied free with any order or can be downloaded. Even on costed options, its comprehensive functionality and user-friendliness combine to reduce the need for manual intervention.
