PathfinderPC, the routing control software for Axia
IP-Audio networks, is getting an upgrade. Version 4.0 of the popular
software suite is full of cool new features and will available free to
registered users of earlier PathfinderPC versions.
“Our clients tell us that PathfinderPC is nearly
indispensable in daily operations,” says Clark Novak, Marketing Team
Leader for Axia. Using PathfinderPC, you can construct custom audio
routing applications for Axia IP-Audio Networks that can be used to
switch routes manually, automatically at specified times, or in response
to pre-programmed events.
PathfinderPC is helpful, intuitive software with an
easy-to-use graphical interface. Upon installation, PathfinderPC
automatically scans your network and gathers information about audio
sources and destinations. Then, just point and click to send audio from
one place to another, creating “route points” that can be locked or
unlocked to prevent inadvertent changes. And you can quickly create and
recall Snapshots to change multiple routes with a single mouse click.
New features included in PathfinderPC Version 4.0
include:
-
Increased speed and scalability.
-
An enhanced, graphical “Stacking Events” editor that
eliminates tedious script writing. Create sophisticated routing
“scenes” with Boolean logic that automatically watch for and react
to specified events.
-
Full control of Axia Element consoles’ VMIX (Virtual
Mixer) functionality.
-
Prophet Systems delivery system integration with ACU
Translator.
-
New, informative routing pop-up displays that include
complete host and Axia channel number information.
-
Expanded support for constructing PathfinderPC
“clusters” for automatic backup. New bridge applications help serial
port controllers work with redundant servers.
-
Detailed, fully customizable system event logging.
-
Panel Designer GUI with full hardware mapping support
— create custom virtual “button panels” that can be run from
computer or mapped to Axia accessory control panels.
-
Picture graphics support: create and upload custom
graphics for use with Axia LCD control panels.
-
Support for routing and translating of serial, TCP
and UDP ports.
PathfinderPC also lets users combine audio and machine
logic into a single “virtual router” to route bi-directional audio and
GPIO together. Audio metering, combined with silence sense, lets you set
up “watchdogs” for audio sources, automatically switching to a backup
source (and sending an alert e-mail) if audio is not present.
PathfinderPC v4.0 will be demonstrated at NAB 2007 in the
Axia booth, #N7726, and will be available to clients during the 3rd
Quarter of 2007. For more information, contact Clark Novak at Axia
