Summit Technology Group has released a modern studio signaling platform for broadcast facilities seeking a flexible, network-based alternative to traditional on-air light systems.
“The AirLux Studio Signaling system combines sleek touchscreen signage, centralized scheduling and intuitive broadcast workflow integration to provide clear, reliable studio status indication across modern broadcast facilities,” it said.
AirLux integrates natively with Axia Livewire-enabled environments without complex external interfaces. This enables studios to automatically display status indicators such as On-Air, Recording or Production in Progress, synchronized with console activity and automation workflows.
Each signage device features a slim, professional touchscreen display driven by Power over Ethernet (PoE). This allows installations to be completed using a single Ethernet cable for power and network connectivity, reducing complexity and eliminating costly electrical work or the need to seek permits.
AirLux includes a centralized server platform preconfigured by Summit, enabling facilities to manage multiple signage devices and studios from one interface.
The system provides a web-based environment where administrators can manage devices, customize signage layouts, configure triggers, book studio events and update graphics and color schemes.
A scheduling engine allows stations to program studio status indicators based on time of day or operational schedules. “This is particularly useful for facilities that run scheduled programming blocks, automated shows or multi-room production environments where signage needs to reflect changing operational states throughout the day.” One-time events can be scheduled to welcome a special guest or indicate unique programming.
The system supports custom station branding, graphics, colors and messaging. In addition to Livewire integration, AirLux can interface with automation systems and third-party control environments, and can support GPIO triggering through compatible external interfaces.
Systems ship as a configured solution, including the server and touchscreen signage devices. Customers may select from multiple screen sizes.
