Version 3.4

21 November 2011

The software v3.4 mainly offers a new SmartMeter version including a True-Peak meter, a Vectorscope as well as an improved Surround analyser. The new firmware also improves performances of the Trinnov Audio Core and manages chaining of 2 cores to provide more simultaneous I/Os:

New Features

  • Multiple TAC Support: this release includes a new optimized audio core firmware that allows 2 TAC chaining and better performance for single TAC units. MC Processor can therefore manage up to 16 simultaneous digital I/Os.
  • SmartMeter 2.0: includes brand-new tools:
    • The True Peak Meter showing the maximum absolute level of the signal in the continuous time domain. It is an implementation of the EBU recommendation R128.
    • The Vectorscope is a standard phase-meter for stereo signal monitoring. Phase integration and Afterglow can be set manually.
    • The Surround Analyser for multichannel signal monitoring. It shows a 360° display of your multichannel signal as well as the correlation between relevant pairs of signals.
  • Login: different user levels with limited access to sensitive features are now available as an option for MC Processors and ST2 Pros.

Improvement:

  • Non Audio data detection: any encoded stream (ac3, DTS…) playing through SPDIF or AES is detected as non-audio data. A visual alert is displayed and the outputs are muted.
  • Target Curves: button “link all but subwoofer”.
  • Multiview: “swap” button to switch between multiview and standard display from the interface.
  • Backup/Restore USB: presets can be backed up and restored individually.

Changes

  • Monitoring Control: is now available without the SmartMeter option:
    • The Monitoring Control tab is in the Home Page.
    • A reduced Home Page has been implemented in the ST2 Pro.
