Berlin, June 2020: STAGETEC, the Berlin-based manufacturer of professional audio technology, introduces exciting new features for the AVATUS IP console with the latest software release 1.12. One of the most innovative new features is the simultaneous operation of AVATUS with two sound engineers. The virtual division of a console, which can also consist of several physical tubs, is currently not offered by any other console on the market. The division is done in steps of 12 operating strips each, which make up a cassette. Both sound engineers have unrestricted and independent access to various functions: They have their own SOLO and PFL functionalities and each their own Control Room. Global layer switching, function selection and synchronous scrolling of lists (aux, N-1, groups, EQ bands, ...) only work in the respective user area. Also functions like the spill functionality, the temporary link function or Aux-/N-1 to Fader (including auto lists) can be edited independently by both sound engineers. In addition, both users can access all audio channels simultaneously and work with the same channels (e.g. Ambience).
With the new software release, AVATUS performance and response times are significantly accelerated. And the talk functionality of the two command paths can now be assigned to any user button.
Especially for working with a sound engineer or a répétiteur, AVATUS now offers the option of temporarily coupling one of the two control rooms to the other at the touch of a button. In this case, both control rooms always carry the same monitoring signal, but can be operated independently, and volume, mute functions, DIM, page and polarity swapping are independent of each other.
The alternative monitoring function for both AVATUS control rooms is another new feature. It is possible to switch back and forth between two monitoring systems in both control rooms. The crosspoints for the outputs of the monitoring systems are saved system-wide and are no longer dependent on the project.
The software release 1.12 for AVATUS is available now.
