Focusrite have announced the availability of RedNet Control v2.13, a software update which enables users of their RedNet PCIeNX cards to double their channel count from 128x128 to 256x256 (at sample rates up to 96kHz) by purchasing a one-time license upgrade from Audinate.
The system allows for seamless audio reception from numerous sources and distribution to multiple destinations, and the upgrade represents a significant enhancement for those working with high channel counts in applications as large surround installations or live shows with extensive monitor mixes.
“Whether you're routing signals to a Dolby Atmos renderer, managing a multi-room studio setup, or handling complex live sound routing that includes recording, playback and foldback to numerous locations simultaneously, the ability to manage all of this from a single RedNet PCIeNX card is something we're extremely pleased to offer our customers. For example, having a PCIeNX installed in a control room computer connected to multiple live rooms or concert halls via Dante, you could maintain 256 mic pres patched to your control room at all times. This setup eliminates the need for administrative adjustments between sessions based in different rooms. In live sound, the capability to receive audio from multiple sources and send it out to various destinations, such as large surround installations and live shows with extensive monitor mixes, is invaluable.” - Jack Cole, RedNet Product Manager, Focusrite
