Powered by LARA

During Infocomm 2022, we will introduce LARA (Lightware Advanced Room Automation) that is our future-proof room automation platform created for AV integrators as well as for meeting room participants to help them simplify their everyday interaction with AV technology.

• User-friendly, easily-parametrizable software solution
• Modules that eliminate the need of complex programming skills
• Possibility for experienced programmers to write their own modules

LARA will run on Taurus and will be easily configurable through a web browser while meeting room users can easily access their room’s control via a single touch panel. Make sure you stop by at our booth during Infocomm to see LARA's pre-launch debut before it becomes officially available in Q3 this year.
