Pebble Beach Systems has announced Lighthouse, a Web-based remote management and monitoring dashboard for the Marina automation environment.



lighthouseLighthouse extends Marina’s functionality to business users, operational staff and engineers both inside and outside the broadcast facility. It offers control, monitoring, media management and system configuration tools via an array of widgets on configurable Web-based dashboards.

Designed for PCs, tablets and mobile devices, Lighthouse is built on the latest JavaScript and HTML5 technology, and has user-based permissions and the latest TLS encryption. Lighthouse also can span multiple Marina systems, which may be running different software versions and be operating at different frame rates. Users can configure their own layouts according to their roles, or range of roles, and switch between multiple dashboards.

“Lighthouse offers a powerful view into the Marina automation system for users who may be away from the standard client interface or not normally need that level of access,” says Eric Openshaw, GM of Pebble North America.

“For users with control privileges, accessing and controlling a channel from any location with Lighthouse makes unattended operation safe, and worry-free for senior staff.”

The move continues Pebble Beach’s foray into the virtual world. In March, it announced Orca, a software-defined virtualised IP channel solution.
