Well, we didn’t win the iPad Mini in the AMX Editor RPM Challenge. But congratulations to AV Magazine Deputy Editor, Paul Milligan who proved to be a more rapid project maker beating our score by seconds with his impressive time of 3 minutes 15 seconds.
That’s how long it took him to configure a theoretical AV install project which included AMX’s Enova DVX 3150HD, a DVD, a room PC, a TV and a lighting system, complete with a customisable macro - a scenario that could ordinarily have taken 12-15 hours of programming time.
And that proves AMX’s point: even journalists can use AMX's Rapid Project maker (RPM), a cloud application that lets installers configure an AMX system online-- without the need for a programmer, using a step-by-step wizard-based approach.
RPM speeds a user through an entire project from start to finish, saving valuable time as well as adding flexibility. Using RPM, the time required to program even the simplest control system is reduced from hours to minutes.
There was much more news from AMX but we’ll save that for next issue. You can’t argue that a time-saving application should not go to the front of the news stack. If one AMX installer can save 4 hours a week using RPM, that’s 16 hours a month or 172 hours a year or more than 7 days saved! Now multiply that out across the universe of AMX installers…
