iqSystem vs Virtual Stream Deck

iqSystem allows you to interact with a wide variety of IDK Pro A/V devices over the network, all on your iPhone. iqSystem is available as a simple interface for BYOD (bring your own device) applications or as front end to the complete system management (controlling multiple devices) with access to the full menu of options within the specified device. This was developed in keeping with the IDK’s Pro-A/V solutions to address a broad variety of market verticals that include: Education, Corporate, Entertainment, and Government applications. The control system follows IDK’s vertically integrated corporate structure where the entire IDK team operates closely together, encouraging both a spirit of inter-departmental cooperation and the ability to collaborate on our continuing pursuit of excellence. With our in-house production facilities, IDK can meet emerging market demands for additional features and enhanced performance more quickly than other Pro-A/V equipment manufacturers.
