At ISE 2023, Amadeus debuted a new 2.1 software version for its immersive platforms — HOLOPHONIX Servers, and the HOLOPHOPNIX Native app for macOS — plus two new configurations for its hardware processor offering 128 outputs and 64 outputs.

The new HOLOPHONIX hardware configurations are available for order now and feature redesigned rear panels with Neutrik-housed connectors integrated into the aluminum chassis, including one powerCON mains connector, three etherCON connectors for remote control and Dante redundant protocol, as well as HDMI and USB 3.2 connectors for service. The updated HOLOPHONIX processor models are 1.6x faster than the previous model. The HOLOPHONIX 128 model offers 128 by128 I/O at 96 kHz in Dante Audio-over-IP format, while the new HOLOPHONIX 64 model offers 128 inputs for 64 outputs at 96 kHz in Dante Audio-over-IP format.

The new HOLOPHONIX 2.1 update features a new 3D-native computation of gains and delays for the WFS algorithm, a new ‘Minimal Delay’ mode and a new parameter called LSO (Large Stage Optimizer) designed to optimize intelligibility for spectators sitting in the very first rows.

• macOS Ventura compatibility for HOLOPHONIX Native
• Apple Silicon (ARM architecture) optimization for HOLOPHONIX Native
• New ‘Minimal Delay’ bus function for WFS
