In its ShowHub guise, the TiMax2 control software is configured specifically for programming and running shows and events, whilst the RoomHub version is optimized for more mainstream AV installations needing similar comprehensive audio processing resources but with less focus on real-time showcontrol or audio animation.
TiMax2 incorporates a scaleable multi-channel audio matrix and mixer to handle multiple sources and multiple zones in a variety of projects ranging from theatre and corporate or special events through to AV installations, museums, boardrooms, hotels and nightclubs. The compact 2U chassis provides 16 input and 16 outputs in analogue or AES/EBU format which is expandable up to 64x64 within the same frame. Optional networking interfaces include Cobranet and Ethersound with full redundancy.
TiMax2's delay matrix capability provides tools to help create precedence-based audio imaging to direct listeners to a performer's location on stage, a presentation speaker, or a particular attraction in a themed exhibit. Every input and output also has parametric EQ for source sweetening or room tuning, plus instantaneous random-access multitrack audio playback and recording, which is compatible with a wide range of file formats.
