TiMax new spatial management developments at PL&S

	A panoramically immersive Beethoven's 5th will accompany a specially licensed appearance of the viral internet sensation, Line Rider.

UK spatial audio specialists, Out Board, are showcasing the latest evolutions of their TiMax immersive audio and showcontrol systems at Prolight+Show, Hall 8.0, Stand A55.

Demos will feature the intuitive TiMax 500S software workflows including StageSpace for instant auto-calculation of adaptive localization objects directly from a map of the venue; and TiMax HARDCore FGPA, a powerful new dsp engine for the TiMax Soundhub platform, which adds extended delay-matrix memory and ultra-smooth dynamic delay-morphing algorithms to create totally transparent real-time localization. Out Board will also preview the all-new TiMax TrackerD4 evolution of their market-leading stagetracking showcontrol.

TiMax TrackerD4 is billed as affordable, dependable and portable, addressing a current price/performance gap in the market with enhanced levels of speed and precision at a range of cost levels offering enhanced ROI across wider applications. With its long-established vocal-localization processes now further integrated within the TiMax SoundHub software via OSC control, the responsiveness of the new D4 also opens up, for the first time, the reality of highly cost-effective lighting and multimedia stagetracking control, the company says.

Regular on-stand demonstrations will pull all of these technologies together into engaging and seductive spatial experiences featuring the panoramic Orchestral Hugeness and immersive 3D soundscapes delivered by TiMax. Alongside bespoke multitrack arrangements of Greig concertos, as well as electronic music compositions and sound effect beds, a panoramically immersive Beethoven's 5th will accompany a specially licensed appearance of the viral internet sensation, Line Rider.

Out Board's Dave Haydon will also contribute to the PL+S Immersive Technology Forum, where on Wednesday, April 3, at 1:00pm, he will pose the question: What's Immersive? discussing the motives and expectations of spatial audio and showcontrol for live performance, presentation and experiences.
