Complete CommLink packages are available with all of the software you need to run Fire Studio on your desktop computers, laptops and iPads. Contact Us for custom system pricing.
How Does CommLink Work?
Step 1
Create your multi-view simulations in Fire Studio.
Create simulations showing multiple views of a building. This could involve front, rear, roof, interior etc.
Step 2
Load the saved simulations onto your computers or iPads.
For each computer or iPad, load a different view of the incident. The computers can physically be anywhere, as long as they are on the same network.
Step 3
Control the simulation from CommLink.
Using CommLink, you can control what each screen sees during the simulation. Make the fire worse, trigger an explosion, send a direct text message to one of the Players.
