[AG-TECH] New Gentner Software

[Markus Buchhorn]

Well, if we're adding wishes to this list... :-)

Allow this control application to run over the network, so that one 
operator can manage multiple nodes, or a remote operator can manage a given 
node.

At first blush, a web browser would make a very nice harness for this. 
Perhaps implement as Apache modules? (apologies to Jay ;-) ). Save you 
having to develop at both ends of the network pipe (as with e.g. a Java 
applet).

If it's lean enough, it could be driven from a PDA :-)

Jay - can you put some hooks into your pending A/V application (the one 
with the misshapen playback buffers ;-) ) that would allow it to be 
controlled remotely?

We could also pick up some of the hacks that allow you to drive the various 
PTZ cameras through a web page. It could also hook into monitoring/logging 
systems...

Cheers,
         Markus
