Enhanced software makes major advancements in setup, control, and monitoring
LAS VEGAS—Pliant Technologies has announced that it will present its new CrewWare 2.0 software update at the 2024 NAB Show (Booth C5310).
CrewWare is Pliant’s ground-breaking software tool created specifically for CrewCom system construction, device control, and live monitoring. CrewWare 2.0 is the first substantial update since its introduction of CrewCom in 2017.
This enhanced software makes major advancements in setup, control, and monitoring and includes the additions of multi-platform (Mac and PC), multi-client, multi-system support along with many graphical user interface (GUI) improvements. These latest advancements result in a straightforward and clean interface that simplifies accessing a CrewCom system from anywhere in the world from any type of device with access to a browser.
“We are excited to debut these significant updates to CrewWare at NAB 2024, as we have made the software platform more accessible and feature packed for the needs of today’s user, while retaining its straightforward architecture and ease-of-use,” says Gary Rosen, vice president of global sales for Pliant Technologies. “CrewWare 2.0 will aid our customers in facilitating graphical-based planning and implementation of any CrewCom system, whether simple or extensive.”
The updated CrewWare 2.0 includes a server and browser-based interface with the addition of multi-platform support. This allows use by the most popular browsers, and therefore any popular operating system on the market, including Mac and Windows PC. Also included is multi-client support, allowing a multitude of users (clients) on the same network to access the same system at the same time. Additionally, the software’s multi-system support provides the ability for a single user to access multiple systems through the new server-based workflow for simple monitoring and control of multiple systems at once, the company said.
Graphical user interface improvements include a fresh look, but with the same user-friendly interface in the previous release, multiple browser windows support, smart resizing of windows, a new flip card-based view of all radio packs, a drag-and-drop functionality for easy device setup, as well as overall intuitive navigational improvements.
