Getting started

HOLOPLOT Processor is a rack-mounted device that extends HOLOPLOT's system capabilities by natively integrating third-party speakers into the ecosystem. It enables seamless management, configuration, and operation of non-HOLOPLOT speakers alongside HOLOPLOT Audio Modules.

Key Capabilities

System Integration

• Ecosystem: Create and simulate System Designs using HOLOPLOT Plan. Deploy and operate the system using HOLOPLOT Control.

• Real-time Control: Responds to preset changes, mute/solo triggers, EQ adjustments, and gain controls.

• Health Monitoring: Reports system status and metrics back to HOLOPLOT OS.

• API Compatibility: Included in the HOLOPLOT OS Public API for health reporting and monitoring.

Audio Processing

• Beam Tuning: Handles panning matrix, downmix delay matrix, and additional DSP blocks.

• Audio-Beamforming for Third-Party Speakers: DSP for known electro-acoustic models with multiple drivers.

• Advanced Signal Processing:

  • FIR filters with 4096 taps

  • 32 IIR bands for comprehensive EQ control

  • Gain and delay adjustment (up to 1.5 seconds)

  • Driver tuning with measured electro-acoustic models

Audio Connectivity

• AES67/Ravenna Support: Receives audio from AES67/Ravenna streams feeding HOLOPLOT Audio Modules.

• Dante Integration: Converts Dante AoIP sources to AES67 streams for third-party speaker processing.

• High Channel Count: Supports up to 256 input and output audio channels

Redundancy and Reliability

• Device Redundancy: Main and backup processor configuration with automatic failover.

• Network Redundancy: Works with ST-2022-7 seamless protection.

• Third-Party Speaker Delay Compensation: Manual adjustment to synchronize with HOLOPLOT Audio Modules.
