SCA hosted a TiMax workshop in Tokyo where Out Board director Robin Whittaker presented and demonstrated the principles of TiMax delay-based Source-Oriented Reinforcement (SOR). Delegates learnt how variable audio localisation could be applied to wireless vocal mics using the TiMax2 SoundHub dynamic delay matrix, and how this could be automated via continuous control by Out Board's market-leading TiMax Tracker performer tracking system.
TiMax2 SoundHub's sound effects and playback server capabilities were also demonstrated using multiple atmos and spot effects played off the units internal hard drive, with looping, editing, volume profiling, delay panning and synchronised showcontrol events all programmed in the system's new TimeLine and PanSpace environments.
Out Board director Dave Haydon comments: "We recently refocused our attention on establishing serious TiMax representation and support in Japan having seen growing healthy economic indicators for the territory. I am delighted that a company with the strong reputation and technical depth of S.C. Alliance have decided to work with us, and there have already been very positive reactions from leading specifiers and end-users in the Japanese marketplace".
