Version 3.1 of Allen & Heath's iDR System Manager Software Released
 May 15, 2003
Allen & Heath has launched version 3.1 of iDR
System Manager, the Windows PC software that configures iDR hardware
components into an integrated audio distribution system. Version 3.1
supports the forthcoming PL-7 (remote LCD) and PL-8 (4 in 4 G.P.I.O.) units
from the PL series of remote control devices which supplement the iDR
DSP-based audio management system, scheduled for release at the PLASA show
in the UK in September.
The new software has the additional features of 'draggable' curves for EQ
and dynamics processing sections, crossover slopes in the output PEQ, and a
new "cut and paste" system whereby information appears on the toolbar. There
is an Undo Paste feature and cut and paste functionality for PL devices. New
features also include password protection for the Ethernet and RS232
connections, centered windows, new front panel diagnostics options, and a
plug-and-play ability if PL units are disconnected and reconnected. There is
an IP Gateway support for internetworking connections to the iDR and range
parameters have been added to the PL-Anet faders and rotaries.
Once the software configures the iDR system, comprising a selection of iDR-8
units, iDR-in and iDR-out expanders, iDR-switch boxes, wall plates, and
other remote control devices, the PC is removed and settings and programmed
patches are saved to the central iDR-8 hardware unit.
Free download of the software is available online.
