Userful Corporation, a manufacturer of AV-over-IP products for enterprise, has announced 7 new products, released throughout Q1 of 2021.
Userful’s Visual Networking Platform enables centralised management and control of an enterprise’s visual applications and AV services over its network.
These new product offerings extend the reach of the platform enabling corporate IT departments to stream any operational content to any user, screen, display and device across the enterprise, including remote workers.
Userful’s 7 new products are as follows;
BORDERLESS OPERATIONS: Secure Enterprise Streaming
Userful’s new streaming system enables operations to securely deliver critical operating information to branch/satellite facilities, remote workers, and anywhere that large distributed organisations need. This is suitable for customers in the mission critical space (control rooms, command centres, NOCs and SOCs) who need to share content displayed on their internal video wall with remote colleagues or other operation centers.
UBIQUITY - ANY SCREEN, ANYWHERE: uClient for Android and WebOS
Userful is also launching a Certified uClient adapter, a new endpoint for AV applications that adds ‘smart’ capabilities to any display, videowall or direct view LED wall within the enterprise ensuring full display ubiquity. The new Userful Certified uClient adapter extends the smart-display capabilities—natively supported in LG webOS and Samsung Tizen displays—to any type of display.
CENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT: Platform Monitoring
The addition of AV applications to the IT stack poses certain challenges for IT teams in terms of network and system usage and health. In Q1 2021, Userful delivers brand new Platform Monitoring tools to evaluate system and network performance for the Visual Networking Platform. This includes system diagnostics, alerts and analytics, and visualizations to help identify potential network or server resource constraints before they affect performance for the Enterprise. This gives IT managers the necessary tools to effectively manage their company’s visual transformation.
CORPORATE SIGNAGE: Integrated CDN/Cloud Solution plus CMS Bundle
With the launch of Userful’s uClient Adapter, Userful is adding an ‘out-of-the-box’ corporate signage offering with flexible CMS integration. By integrating CMS solutions into our Visual Networking Platform, Userful allows IT teams to choose what works best for them from a variety of options to seamlessly integrate engaging corporate messaging including COVID-related return-to-work messaging to ensure a safe return to the office.
LED SOLUTIONS: LED Media Commander
Userful is adding support for a range of LED needs. Userful’s solutions are secure, manageable and scalable to achieve highest performance for any LED need, including gen lock for perfect synchronisation across multiple LED controllers. The software runs on industry-standard, non-proprietary hardware. It includes enterprise management, security and control features—such as role based access control, cloud management and remote access. In addition, Userful’s software-defined system offers advanced media processing from any source on the network.
Userful also offers these same advanced enterprise management security and control features to single controller LED walls to support the new wave of LED offerings that come with integrated controllers— including those from LG and Samsung—using software deployed on off-the-shelf hardware.
UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS: Native Zoom Integration (BETA)
In 2021, Userful is introducing a Zoom source for its Visual Networking Platform. For those organisations running very large multi-user sessions and Zoom Webinars, Userful now supports those needs. UC is a key aspect of the digitally transformed enterprise, and the Zoom source will allow teams enterprise-wide to use any display within the Userful Visual Network to be used for video conferencing on a larger scale than ever before—whether on direct view LED walls, stand alone displays, projectors or LCD videowalls.
OPERATIONS STREAMING: Userful Virtuoso (BETA)
In Q1 2021 Userful is launching the Beta of its new Virtuoso web app offering, an enterprise streaming offering that delivers operational information (data metrics, IoT sensor data, camera feeds, corporate video assets for sales and marketing, town halls) to any screen, anywhere, any time delivering including mobile devices, desktop computers while allowing users to customize and personalise their experience to maximise productivity.
