The simplicity and flexibility of Immergo derive from its user interface structure and its configuration.
The Immergo User Interface:
Immergo can work with any DAW
A user can, from a mobile device or a workstation:
- Select any track of the DAW and localize it in 3D space
- Localize sound by touch moving virtual source and/or tilting mobile device
- Control the transport of the DAW (Rewind, Fast Forward, Play, Pause, Stop)
- Record localizations, save these localizations and load them again
- Visualize the playback of recorded tracks
A user can control localization from any position via a mobile device or a workstation. More than one user can localize different tracks.
These capabilities are made possible by the Client/Server configuration of Immergo.
Immergo configuration – with SPK4 active, AVB and DSP capable POE speakers:
Web browser runs client code on workstation and mobile devices
- The AVB speakers receive power, audio and mix level/delay message
- A Renderer on the workstation determines mix levels and delay values
- SPK4s perform mixing according to the mix level commands sent to them
A significant advantage of this configuration is that mixing gets outsourced from the workstation to the SPK4 speakers. The switch needs to be an Ethernet AVB and POE capable switch.
Immergo Configuration with NDAC-8 AVB capable audio interfaces:
NDAC-8 audio interfaces provide an inexpensive route to providing immersive audio.
As in the case of the SPK4-based configuration, a web browser runs client code on workstation and mobile devices, and a Renderer on the workstation determines mix levels. However, in this configuration:
- The NDAC-8s perform mixing according to the mix level commands sent to them.
- Each NDAC-8 has 8 outputs which can be amplified by, for example, a miniDSP PWR-16 multi-channel amplifier and sent to passive speakers.
- There can be multiple NDAC-8s in a configuration, and hence multiples of 8 speakers.
The switch can be any Ethernet AVB capable switch.
