The new software has the additional features of 'draggable' curves for EQ and dynamics processing sections, cross over slopes in the output PEQ and a new cut and paste system whereby information appears on the toolbar, there is an undo paste feature and cut and paste functionality for PL devices.
New features also include password protection for the Ethernet and RS232 connections, centred windows, new front panel diagnostic options and a ‘plug and play’ ability if PL units are disconnected and reconnected. There is an IP Gateway support for internetworking connections to the iDR and range parameters have been added to the PL-Anet faders and rotaries. Once the software configures the iDR system, comprising a selection of iDR-8 units, iDR-in and iDR-out expanders, iDR-switch boxes, wall plates and other remote control devices, the PC is removed and settings and programmed ‘patches’ are saved to the central iDR-8 hardware unit.
