Which Product Combination Should I Choose?
The three products are complementary — stack them as needed to cover the full exhibition workflow:
Smart Exhibition Control
Need to centrally manage lights, projectors, audio, and access control in your venue? Choose SoftControl — visual drag-and-drop editor, no coding, one-touch open/close.
+ Multimedia Playback
Have large displays or media players that need precise scheduling? Add SoftPlayer — SoftControl sends UDP commands to SoftPlayer for integrated play, switch, volume, and timer control.
+ Host Agent Management
Need to manage individual PCs in your venue (volume, power, lock screen, WoL)? Add SoftAgent (free) — deploy on each target host, SoftControl dispatches commands for fine-grained PC management.
SoftPlayer and SoftAgent are independent products, complementary to SoftControl and not competing with each other. Use them individually or in any combination as your project requires.
