Legrand | AV has released firmware update 1.2.0 for its Da-Lite Screen Controller, extending the company’s Unified Cloud Platform to compatible projection screen control units. The software enables cloud-based visibility and remote management without requiring additional hardware.

Once the update is installed, integrators and facility managers can view and manage supported Da-Lite Screen Controllers through the same centralized dashboard used for other devices connected to the Unified Cloud Platform. The arrangement places projection screen control alongside other supported AV and IT systems in one management environment.

Remote oversight for projection systems

Legrand | AV said the update is intended to reduce the need for separate management tools. The platform provides visibility into connected screen controllers and allows users to access them remotely rather than requiring an on-site visit for every management task. The company described the change as an expansion of its connected-device approach for AV environments.

For integrators, the release concerns the software layer of an existing Da-Lite control installation. Firmware 1.2.0 is a software-only update, so compatible systems do not require new equipment to gain access to the platform’s cloud-management functions. The update can be installed through the device’s management interface.

Schwartz also linked the release to the broader integration of AV management with IT-oriented workflows. The company’s stated objective is to give customers and partners one dashboard for a larger portion of their managed environment as AV systems become more connected.
