STAGETEC Presents AURUS Software Update 2.2
AURUS high-end digital console enhanced with more
go-faster control and management facilities
Barcelona, June 2005: At this year's AES in Barcelona,
STAGETEC has introduced a configuration-software update for AURUS,
its live broadcast and production mixing console system. The new version
2.2 offers extended and improved management and configuration facilities
which deliver further improvements in speed of use, reliability and
operator efficiency.
 Faster Reload
Already renowned for the speed with which full operation is achieved after power
up, with the 2.2 update STAGETEC has made the console boot process in AURUS even
faster with reconfigured data storage within the console. Now, the current statuses
of the console and the signal processors are stored to the console’s controller
board in case of power failure instead of to the memory server as with previous
versions. This allows the status of the console to be restored even more quickly
when power is up again. In addition, the controller board now allows for storing
six different console configurations on it, that can be quickly loaded on a button-press.
In practice, this feature increases the working speed again and provides additional
independence from the memory server.
Parameter Import and Export
Improved flexibility in the storage of console statuses now allows for exporting
just a single parameter, e.g. EQ, Dynamics or both. This permits a new console
configuration to include previously stored parameter statuses, giving considerably
improved flexibility and speed of use when setting up a new project.
Snapshot Automation with SnapMix
Another luxury enhancement is the addition of SnapMix to the snapshot automation.
SnapMix allows for recording complex audio-source movements, creative fadeovers,
or other intricate effects in AURUS using the dynamic automation. The previously
programmed effects can be replayed at any time on the press of a button regardless
of the presence of an external timecode: The internal high-precision generator
of the AURUS is used as sync reference.
Now Available
The new software version 2.2 is already implemented in all AURUS systems shipped
in May 2005 and is available free of charge to all existing AURUS operators. |
