Allows the selection of the signal to be measured.
Receives the signal to be measured through a Dante link.
X_CORE Audio Engine
It is an audio engine, mixer, processor and distributor for broadcast. It acts as the heart of a single or set of ATRIUM consoles. It can also work as a general purpose audio matrix, as an intercom matrix, or with combined functionalities.
Configuration Software
ATRIUM Setup – Configuration Software
It’s an application that includes a wizard for quick configuration of a console by simply indicating the number and type of inputs and outputs required. The whole system is fully configurable and allows you to specify, among other things, the number and type of mixer buses, input channels, type of processing applicable to each channel of the console, output routing, etc…
Remote Control Software
ATRIUM Virtual – Remote Control Software
The full functionality of the physical control surface is available through this software application. Easy operation of switches, rotary encoders, displays and faders.
