HOLOPLOT Plan is a software application for designing and setting up HOLOPLOT Audio Systems. It gives you the ability to create and set up arrays, create different beam types for Matrix Arrays, simulate sound system designs, and export projects to HOLOPLOT Control. HOLOPLOT Plan offers a suite of features for advanced acoustic modelling and simulation: including importing 3D venue models from SketchUp, drawing zones, designing Matrix Arrays and positioning them through a 3D interface. It allows the creation of Parametric Beams and Virtual Sources using Wave Field Synthesis and Coverage Beams using 3D Audio-Beamforming through our custom Optimization Engine. HOLOPLOT Plan's Optimization Engine ensures uniform coverage and spectral consistency in audience areas. Users can simulate and visualize direct sound pressure levels for all beam types, evaluate system performance using Acoustic Probes and frequency visualizations, and fine-tune Coverage Beams, Parametric Beams, and Virtual Sources. Projects can also be exported for further simulation in AFMG EASE. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.holoplot.com/holoplot-plan/getting-started.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
