Holoplot has released the latest version of its sound system design software, Plan 2.0, promising ‘a cornerstone of the company’s second-generation software capabilities’.
Following a major upgrade to Holoplot’s operating system, OS2.0, earlier in the year, Plan 2.0 gives users access to innovative new features and enhancements within the sound system design software itself. A new user interface and workflow improvements make designing and simulating sound systems more intuitive and efficient than ever.
‘Holoplot Plan serves as the gateway to Holoplot’s revolutionary technology. Our unmatched steering capabilities provide previously inaccessible levels of sound control, allowing you to precisely tailor your system design, which can be visualised inside the software,’ says Holoplot Plan Senior Product Manager, Adele Gardner. ‘Our aim is to make our unique capabilities easily accessible to our users. We offer the same, well established and familiar workflows known within the industry, and combine them with our advanced 3D Audio-Beamforming capabilities, all accessible via an intuitive interface that makes it easier than ever to work with Holoplot systems.’
Users can now create multiple presets within a single Holoplot Plan project file. By switching presets, a user can change the entire beam layout, transforming the system, and venue, from live performance to cinema, from single-language conference to multi-language conference with multiple zones – with a single button click.
Users can also now generate an unlimited number of beams, all manageable through the new library view. Creating multiple versions of a beam simplifies beam management and removes limitations on creativity. All beams are optimized directly inside the software, making Holoplot Plan an integral part of the Holoplot workflow.
The integration of real-time simulation and SPL heat maps a single 3D view port allows immediate feedback in real time as well as adjustments, ensuring optimal sound distribution and clarity.
‘Holoplot technology allows users new levels of control over sound propagation through software, giving them a much higher degree of freedom,’ Gardner says. ‘We see a broad range of applications that can benefit massively from this enhanced level of control and our design software is freely accessible to everyone. From those starting out with our systems who want to explore and produce quick and easy designs to learn about our system capabilities to expert users creating advanced designs, Holoplot Plan 2.0 is designed for flexibility, capable of managing projects and sound systems of any size or complexity. With even more advanced sound control capabilities, this update promises to set a new standard in the audio industry.’
The latest version of Holoplot Plan 2.0, as well as extensive learning materials and user guides, are available for download from the Holoplot Hub.
