NETWORK + INTEGRATION

Control the production wherever the operator sits.

Expand Ascension across processing nodes, rooms, browser stations, Stream Deck surfaces and third-party systems without turning every component into an isolated workflow.

Ascension system options for control protocols, timecode, rooms and Stream Deck

Connected production

Keep playback, control and external systems in one operating environment.

Ascension combines browser-based operation, physical control surfaces, production protocols and distributed playback systems without turning every connected component into an isolated workflow.

02

Centralized node control

Configure participating playback nodes and monitor their operating state from the Primary Ascension environment.

03

Browser workspaces

Operate Ascension from additional computers on the production network without installing a separate control application.

04

Stream Deck Bridge

Place supported Stream Deck control surfaces at local or network-connected operator positions.

05

Virtual consoles

Create software-based control surfaces when a dedicated hardware controller is unnecessary.

06

External systems

Coordinate media playback with supported OSC, Art-Net, UDP, Q-SYS, Companion and timecode workflows.

External control

Let the rest of the production respond with the media.

Place supported external commands inside CueBoard cues or timeline sequences so playback, lighting, audio, control systems and operator surfaces can move together.

Timecode + synchronization

Follow the clock—or become the clock.

Receive supported LTC or Art-Net timecode when Ascension must chase another system. Generate supported timecode when connected production equipment needs to follow the Ascension timeline.

  • LTC input and output
  • Art-Net timecode input and output
  • Positive or negative timing offsets
  • Operator-controlled external-clock engagement

License the production machines

Browser stations and control surfaces do not consume production seats.
