Aviom has announced at InfoComm 2010 that its Pro64 Network Manager PC control application is available for download.
The Pro64 Series, which is designed with a simple front-panel user interface that makes it possible to create sophisticated audio networks without PC-based programming, now has a companion software control application for those users who prefer a centralized control and status monitoring option.
The new graphical interface provides both global and device-specific information to the user, allowing on-screen management of networks from a single location.
Using the Pro64 Network Manager, users have remote control of every Pro64 device in a network through a PC connected to the network’s Control Master device.
Network settings and audio parameters for each Pro64 device can be managed on-screen, simplifying channel routing, network management, streamlining workflow and increasing the flexibility of the network as a whole.
Users can save device-level presets that can recall commonly used local settings for individual Pro64 modules as well as the ability to save network-wide scenes that can reset an entire network with just one click of the mouse.
Pro64 Network Manager connects to a Pro64 audio network via RS-232. All settings can be monitored, including channel activation and routing, internal/external clock source, sample rate, m-control setup for remote control of Pro64 mic preamps from a Yamaha digital console, Virtual Data Cables, and firmware version.
“In designing the Pro64 Network Manager, our goal has been to make the application as intuitive as possible from the user’s perspective, building on the inherent strengths of the Pro64 hardware,” said Aviom’s Product Research and Development Manager, Ray Legnini.
“The addition of the Pro64 Network Manager application increases the flexibility of the Pro64 Series by giving our users, particularly those with permanently installed Pro64 networks, even more setup options to meet their specific needs.”
The software is available as a free download from the company’s website.
To run the program, users will need a PC running Windows or an Intel-based Mac running Windows.
All existing Pro64 network devices must be updated to firmware version 3.0 or higher to be used with Pro64 Network Manager. A firmware update utility is built into Pro64 Network Manager to simplify the update process.
