It’s equally suitable for new router installations or increasing the capabilities – and lifetime – of existing systems. You can add third-party hardware panels to existing systems, add IP connectivity to older serial routers, or simply increase the number of control ports available.
The integrated web server means operators can control routers from any web browser, using custom control panels built with Helm Designer. And because it’s built on HTML5 standards, there’s no need for browser plugins.

Helm
Helm is a PC-based application that allows users and systems integrators to design and build customised control panels that, in their simplest form, sit alongside automation and provide manual control of a single device. For example, this could be a master control switcher, with the user panel exposing only those controls needed for monitoring and manual intervention. In more complex deployments, Helm is used to provide manual, supervisory override capabilities in automated, multi-device (branding engine, multi-viewer, router, video server and modular gear), multi-channel, HD/SD environments with pods of channels. This includes by some of the world’s largest playout companies.
The scalability of Helm makes it a go-to solution for companies wishing to invest in future-proof technology.
