VCSi

VCSi is the next generation product in the VCS family.

Built upon our extensive experience, VCSi brings modular and extensible control to your system. VCSi is made in Canada, commercially available, and is not subject to U.S. ITAR export regulations. Its modular design, developer-friendly application programming interface (API), and plug-in architecture enable you to easily customize the functionality for your unique requirements. Leverage our wealth of experience and uncrew your future with VCSi.

Modular, Extensible, Scalable

The modular design of VCSi allows you to assemble the capability that you require, while only purchasing the components you need.
 
VCSi is extensible through a robust plug-in architecture and detailed Software Development Kit (SDK), allowing you to include custom capabilities specific to your needs.
 
The dockable panels make it easy for you to customize, organize, and save layouts.  This enables VCSi to run effectively on a laptop or expand across several monitors.
 
 

Robust Plug-in Architecture

Every VCSi license includes a detailed and thorough Software Development Kit (SDK) for plug-in development. This descriptive SDK walks you through VCSi’s API and plug-in architecture, making it easy to integrate your unique capabilities or to leverage local content.
 
Alternatively, work with us to add your unique capabilities to VCSi through contracted plug-in development.
