Overview
Affordable IP-Based Remote Control
Built on the proven ARC Plus platform, the ARC Plus SL provides affordable, full-featured broadcast remote control in a slim, 1RU footprint. With all the power of the ARC Plus system—plus compatibility with any ARC Plus—the ARC Plus SL redefines economical IP-based remote control.
IP-Based Control Built for the Realities of Broadcast
Bandwidth-friendly, the ARC Plus SL is optimized for real-world broadcast links, eliminating the need for costly legacy solutions.
Efficient, Flexible Alarm Notification
Alert appropriate personnel with selective alarms. Targeted alerts via email or SMS assure the proper response.
Better Access than Ever Before
The ARC Plus SL supports a wide range of operator access options. The built-in web interface allows access from any PC without installing software. Smartphone access is possible using the mobile web page. PC-based management using AutoPilot supports IP links and legacy dialup connections.
SNMP Plus
Now it’s easier than ever to connect to remote site equipment using SNMP Plus, the new optional SNMP manager inside the ARC Plus Touch or ARC Plus SL*. Integrate any SNMP-enabled device on your LAN or WAN with no additional wiring.
Built-in Support for Jet™ Active Flowcharts
The Jet Active Flowcharts option makes intelligent automatic site control easier than ever. Create automatic functions quickly by drawing simple flowcharts—no code required. Automatic functionality is built into the ARC Plus SL, eliminating the need for a full-time PC connection.
AutoPilot®
Use the optional AutoPilot software to manage your ARC Plus systems along with legacy ARC-16, GSC3000 and VRC2500 remote controls.
