Arkaos - MediaHub
The Arkaos Mediahub Module uses the Arkaos Telnet API to interact with Arkaos MediaMaster.
The cue player is intended to be used for control of:
• Museum installations • Retail store installations • Clubs • Corporate presentations
To begin, set MediaMaster to Player mode in the Media Master preference menu. The Arkaos Remote Player can be on the same machine you run Ctrl Engine or remotely on another computer on the network.
Note: The Arkaos Telnet API allows one-way communication only from Ctrl to Arkaos; consequently, Ctrl Suite cannot poll it for feedback or determine a current state.

Process Block
After creating a MediaHub module, a block will be generated for it within Ctrl Suite's Process Editor for integration as part of a process flow.
