Stage Precision announced that it will return to InfoComm this year with plans to exhibit its evolving SP Grid ecosystem, which is emerging as a go-to control and data management solution for live events, studio and installed environments.

Grid Studio, the central low-code development software from the SP Grid platform received a significant update with the launch of Grid Studio 2.1, and will be showcased at the company booth along with a series of new Grid Extensions.

Stage Precision said that SP Grid aims to provide a unified control and data management platform built to support evolving demands of AV applications as the lines between broadcast, live events, experiential retail, museums, themed entertainment and virtual production continue to blur.

Grid Studio 2.1 recently launched at NAB and will make its second appearance in Las Vegas at InfoComm with a series of workflow-focused updates designed to make complex control environments more secure, resilient and accessible. The new password protection allows users to set a password directly with the Project tab helping keep sensitive work protected and aiming to ensure essential project information is centralized. Grid 2.1 also introduces always-on background monitoring to help projects recover more reliably if an issue occurs.

The update also features a new warning system for monitoring projects and potential issues, as well as new software themes to improve accessibility across a range of conditions. Grid Studio 2.1 also introduces redesigned camera calibration for streamlining setup with clear visual feedback and real-time status updates.

Stage Precision said that it is also introducing a series of new Grid Extensions at InfoComm, for expanded capabilities of SP Grid. With the new Grid Extensions, the company brings third-party connections directly into the SP Grid platform. NMOS is joining the Grid Extension partner ecosystem, enabling discovery and routing for SMPTE 2110 workflows, allowing operators to manage senders, receivers, flows and routing within SP Grid.

A new Crestron DM NVX extension will also provide SP Grid users with the ability to control NVX encoders and decoders directly from the SP Grid platform. ISAAC by Smart Monkeys is also new to the ecosystem, aiming to combine show control, scheduling, monitoring and alerts for permanent AV installations.

Dante Domain Manager, Ross Talk, ADDERLink XDIP and Panasonic PTZ Camera Control also join as Official Extensions, aiming to provide SP Grid users with the freedom to connect a wider range of systems or devices to the Grid Platform for streamlined control.
