Symetrix, Inc. has announced software update 1.1 for its line of “zero-learning curve” Jupiter digital signal processors.
Inspired by the wildly successful ‘apps’ paradigm of smart phones, Jupiter hardware runs pre-configured apps that are downloaded from the Symetrix website to meet the needs of any modest-scale processing and routing situation.
The 1.1 update also brings the arrival of Jupiter 4 and Jupiter 12 hardware, adds FIR filters along with new apps that use them, and provides users with a handful of programming and functional refinements.
Jupiter 8 hardware, with eight inputs and eight outputs, has been available for several months.
With the release of Jupiter software 1.1, all three hardware configurations are supported and shipping.
In addition, version 1.1 adds FIR filter support. FIR filters have fast become the mainstay of well-tuned sound reinforcement systems, and Jupiter now implements them in several new sound reinforcement apps that are remarkably easy to use.
Additional software refinements include the ability to preset logic outputs and a new app – “Sound Reinforcement 6” – that features additional input dynamics and managed full-range outputs.
Finally, Jupiter version 1.1 adds programming functionality, including the “Event Manager,” which now permits scheduled preset recall by time of day.
The names of inputs, outputs, zones, paging stations, and more can now be named by the user to make systems immediately comprehensible and site-specific.
Also, the version number of each app now shows in its system panel.
