Getting Started with the Enterprise Controller

The VNR 100 Single channel recorder is controlled by the VNM Enterprise Controller, which is used to configure and manage all Matrix devices in the system.

VNR 100 devices are used with VN-Matrix encoders and decoders to record and play back PURE3 streams. VNR 100 devices may be controlled singly or in groups to enable recording and playback of more than one stream.

System settings are configured as presets that may then be recalled from either the VNM Enterprise Controller WEB UI or from an external control system connected to the VNM Enterprise Controller using the HLI command protocol.
