Axia Audio is now shipping PathfinderPC Version 4.0, a significant
upgrade of Axia’s sophisticated routing control software IP-Audio
networks. PathfinderPC lets users construct custom audio routing
applications that can be used to switch routes automatically at
specified times, in response to pre-programmed events, or by manual
command.
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, allowing users to “point and click” to send audio from one
place to another and create “route points” that can be locked or
unlocked to prevent inadvertent changes. A Snapshot feature let users
quickly create and recall saved scenes 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 is now shipping at an MSRP of $1,095.00; a
free update for existing users is available from
