1. Integrated Computer - The industrial computer comes equipped with a sleek 1920x1080 touchscreen display and Windows 10 Enterprise.
2. Key-Locked Power Switch and Indicator Lights - Two indicator lights show when the Stage Manager is connected to power, and if the industrial computer is turned on. The keyed power switch is the first line of defense to deter unauthorized access to the automation controls.
3. USB 3.0 - A USB 3.0 port allows for easy transfer of files and updates for Spikemark.
4. Integrated Showstopper 3 Consolette - Manual jogging is easily accomplished with the jog paddle or jog wheel. Use the buttons on the right to select, initiate and stop programmed cues. Configuration for the Integrated Consolette is completed inside of Spikemark.
5. Emergency Stop - Once connected to a Showstopper 3 Base or Hub, indicator lights show when your system is ready to go and a mushroom button gives you quick stopping authority over all automation.
