YOUR COMPUTER AS A WMS 4000 CONTROL CENTER

The MCS 4000 Mission Control Software allo- ws you to display the entire setup of a WMS system on screen and to edit all settings sim- ply by mouse click.

All relevant data, such as RF level, audio level, diversity activity, battery status of the transmitters, Mute/Off etc. are displayed in real time on a graphic user surface, with important warning messages being inserted so as to catch the eye.

You can even set up the basic parameters of

a complete system from the computer: remote control software puts Environment Scan, Auto Setup and Rehearsal Check at your fingertips.

“History” recording is another special feature of MCS 4000 – i.e., storing the monitoring data of all channels in a log file to help with the setup and the analysis of completed system.

You can also take a snapshot of the current status any time, which is especially helpful if

you want to mail it to off-site co-workers.

Linking a wireless system to the computer only requires the integration of one or several WMS 4000 HUB Network Concentrators plus a computer (>500 MHz) with an Ethernet port.

MCS 4000 is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. A demo version as well as software and firmware updates and drivers can be downloaded from www.akg.com.
