Barco and Global Caché have formed an alliance to provide seamless compatibility of Global Caché hardware from within Barco's IP-based Overture control and automation software. Overture is now shipping with Global Caché support and connectivity built right in.

Barco Overture
can drive any network-connected device with a browser to control and monitor equipment - bringing a new world of flexibility to A/V control systems. Global Caché's products connect any IR, serial, and contact closure device to a WiFi and/or IP network so it can be controlled, automated, and maintained by network-based software. Now, Barco customers can include Global Caché hardware in their projects and installations without the need for programming or drivers giving them a distinct competitive edge.

Flexible integration
'Using Global Caché hardware to connect those previously unconnected devices to a wired or WiFi network enables customers and integration partners to deploy Overture with any electronic device they or their client chooses. Supporting Global Caché hardware is a no-brainer for us,' comments Alex Carru, Vice President New Experiences for Barco.

Robin Ford, Global Caché VP of business development says, 'It's exciting to see Barco deploying a powerful network-based control and automation solution. Offering an IP-based software product is of course the way the market is moving and our enabling hardware makes it easy to use any and all equipment required. Barco's software is the most flexible and scalable way to go.'

Simply economical
Overture created a revolution in A/V control solutions when it was released earlier this year. Because it's an IP-based software system, Overture is simpler and more economical to set up, install and manage than conventional hardware-based solutions. Barco recently announced updates for Overture including automatic behaviors and scheduling.
Global Caché is the leading independent manufacturer of IP, WiFi, and HTTP enabling connectivity products for control and automation.
