Content Management Application (CMA)

A Content Management Application (CMA) running on an Axon media server or a computer connected through an Ethernet network gives you remote control of content, software and configuration management functions.

The Content Management Application software that shipped on CD with your DL.3, DL.2 or Axon media server is used to:

•Upload and download custom digital content to fixtures

•Configure units to use in a DMX environment

•Update software for multiple units

The CMA can access all media servers connected to the same Ethernet network.
