ISAAC Workspace

One place for everything you need to monitor and control your AV systems - right in your browser.

ISAAC from Smart Monkeys is a hardware platform designed to manage modern, cross-technology AV systems by providing a unified solution for system access, monitoring, scheduling, and content management

Problems ISAAC solves

Difficult system access: It can be complicated for users to manage different computers for configuration and operation.
Poor monitoring: Users in one subsystem (e.g. audio) often do not see errors in another (e.g. video).
Rigid scheduling: The need for flexibility for end users to change how the system runs.
Complex content management: Non-technical staff need to be able to update content easily.

Disjointed user experience: ISAAC creates a so-called "Single Pane of Glass" experience that brings all systems together in one interface.

Main features of ISAAC Workspace

ISAAC acts as a layer on top of the control system and offers the following tools:

System Access: Includes ISAAC Connect for clientless remote access to machines and robust rights management to secure the system.
Monitoring: Logs every change, sends alerts based on criticality, and visualizes system health through customizable maps.
Scheduling: A drag-and-drop interface to schedule events and playlists with support for advanced repetition and sun-based scheduling.
Content Management: Tools to upload and manage media, create compositions and playlists.
Virtualization: Ability to run Windows and Linux applications in virtual machines (VMs), saving rack space and power and simplifying maintenance via snapshots.

Product ranges:

Foundation: A compact and cost-effective platform for installations that do not require extensive virtualization or storage.
Prelude: An enterprise-class standalone server that enables hardware consolidation by running multiple operating systems and applications simultaneously.
Nemesis: Designed for large-scale systems (e.g. amusement parks) with the highest uptime requirements. It offers redundancy through a dual-server configuration and automatic failover.
