RGB Spectrum® and Russ Bassett, two industry-pioneering innovative control room solutions providers, announce their partnership to transform the utility industry's control room landscape.

Joining forces at DistribuTECH 2024, these two powerhouse companies will display new products and technologies specifically designed for energy and utility environments.

Portfolio of video distribution

The energy and utilities sector faces unique challenges that demand sophisticated control room functionalities beyond simple monitoring. Recognising this, RGB Spectrum offers a comprehensive portfolio of video distribution, display, and recording solutions for these environments.

Well known for its high-performance video wall processors, it has earned a reputation for enhancing decision-makers ability to visualise and manage complex, real-time data streams.

XtendPoint™ KVM-over-IP solution

To improve user venture, RGB is debuting 43” curved monitors for a unified, wraparound show surface

Recently, the focus has been on the operator console. RGB Spectrum is proud to offer its scalable XtendPoint™ KVM-over-IP solution, expanding the possibilities for sharing data and work output over networks and allowing for removing computers from the console and into IT spaces.

The system further replaces the clutter of a multitude of single-use monitors with typically two multiviewers, and all inputs are controllable by a single keyboard and mouse, resulting in better operator focus. To further enhance the user experience, RGB is debuting 43” curved monitors for a unified, wraparound display surface.

Cutting-edge technology

Attention to ergonomics is critical. But still to be addressed was the physical console itself. For this purpose, RGB Spectrum recently teamed up with Russ Bassett, renowned for its control consoles, to enhance operator comfort and efficiency.
