Controlling media devices and services has traditionally been a fragmented challenge—especially in today’s hybrid infrastructures. This discussion introduces a standardized, open-source control framework that’s transport-agnostic, secure by design, and scalable from the smallest tool to the most complex production system. Experts will share insights into the Catena ecosystem, its flexible data model, and how it supports interoperability across vendors and platforms. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the problems it solves and how it can be applied in their own workflows.
