The Encore system is an open, scalable platform for full router and facility control. Featuring tight integration with Grass Valley router matrices, third-party routers, automation systems, and other equipment, the Encore system can consolidate media assets under a single, unified control system. The Encore system modular design lets broadcasters and other high-quality content creators select just the level of control they need. At its most basic, the Encore system can configure and control the crosspoints of a single routing matrix, but it can be expanded to control multiple matrices.
