Video Server/System Controller

The LEIGHTRONIX NEXUS® is truly an inno­vation in playback automation, combining digi­tal video server technology, DVD and VCR
control, video/audio switching/routing, and digi­tal video messaging in one compact and
affordable package. Ideal for local origination,
the NEXUS allows any user to quickly config­ure and program channels for unattended play­back and recording with professional-quality
results.

The NEXUS is designed especially for the
needs of local channels such as leased
access, public, educational, and government
access television operations. The NEXUS is
also ideal for local origination in private cable
systems such as those in higher education,
hospitals, cruise ships, manufacturing/industry,
hotels/resorts, retirement communities, reli­gious broadcasters, correctional institutions,
and government and military installations.
