Preferences

The Preferences Window is used for various general configuration operations (such as audio parameters, OSC settings, shutting down or restart the processor, etc.).

info

With HOLOPHONIX 2.0, advanced tasks such as network configuration or system updates can also be performed directly from the web remote interface.

Audio Tab

Use this tab to set the Buffer Size of the Audio Engine. To set Sample Rate use the Dante Controller® app.

From this tab you can set or read all the Audio Preferences of your Preset.

The DSP/CPU usage indicator along with the audio dropout counter are here to help you optimize your Preset's performances.

Buffer Size

HOLOPHONIX was designed to allow a low latency, while still offering high CPU power. Therefore, you can use very low buffer sizes with your HOLOPHONIX processor. However, for sessions with high DSP usage, it may be necessary to raise the buffer size to prevent any audio dropouts or distortions.

To avoid a global latency that would be too high, check the latency of every piece of equipment in your audio system.

License Tab

The License Tab indicates the characteristics of the license activated on your HOLOPHONIX Processor.

Logs Tab

The Log tab shows messages to help identify the source of problems you might encounter. The error message often contains information about how to solve the problem if this is a configuration issue.

tip

Use the Download button to export the logs to your computer and send them to user support if necessary.

Misc Tab

Settings

VU-Meters Rate

This setting adjusts the display rate of the VU-Meters that are displayed in the Venue and in the Mixer. Using a higher value can save graphical processing power on your computer, which can be useful on computers with low graphical processing power.

Use HOLOSCORE Plugin

The HOLOSCORE plugin detects and connects automatically to HOLOPHONIX. Therefore, if on a network you are using multiple instances of HOLOPHONIX (for example, a Processor and Native), you need to make sure that only one HOLOPHONIX instance has this option activated.

Advanced Settings

OSC Mouse Rate

When moving a source in the Venue, the interface sends messages to the audio engine (either locally on your computer for HOLOPHONIX Native, or remotely over the network for HOLOPHONIX Processor). With this setting, you can adjust the rate at which messages will be sent to the audio engine when moving a source.

OSC Output Rate

This setting adjusts the rate at which OSC messages will be sent to OSC Send destinations (configured in the Open Sound Control Tab), when moving a source in the Venue.

info

This setting is only applied to source positioning with the mouse in the Venue. It doesn't apply, for example, to faders in the Mixer View.

Use DPS Usurp

DPS Usurp is an OSC input filtering option useful when too many OSC messages are sent to HOLOPHONIX.

Network Tab

Exclusively available on the HOLOPHONIX Processors, the Network tab allows you to change the IP parameters of your network ports. Every port is set to Automatic (DHCP/Link Local) by default. If necessary, use this tab to manually configure each IP domain to best fit your workflow, or your venue pre-existing network.

IP Mode

Static (Manual IP)

Set manually the desiered IP Address and Netmask.

  • If there is a DHCP server on your network, the network ports will get an address automatically in a given range of addresses (usually in the 192.168.x.x subnet).
  • If there is no DHCP on the network, the link-local mode will assign an address in the 169.254.x.x range.
compatibility notice
  • On 1st generation of the HOLOPHONIX Processor, you can edit the settings of the 3 Remote ports.
  • On the 2nd generation processor (HOLOPHONIX 128 & HOLOPHONIX 64), you can edit the settings of Remote, Dante Primary and Dante Secondary ports.

To configure a network port, it needs to be connected to a network, or it won’t appear in the Network interfaces list.

  1. Select the Network interface you want to configure,
  2. Choose between Automatic IP addressing (DHCP) or Manual IP addressing (Static)
  3. In "STATIC" mode enter the IP and subnet mask
  4. Click on SET to apply the new settings
warning

When changing the IP range of the Remote port, you will be disconnected from the remote control interface. You will have to change your the IP Address of your computer.

OSC Tab

OSC Output

To send OSC messages from HOLOPHONIX to an external device, add an OSC output with the Add button, fill in the destination IP address and port number, then activate the output by clicking on the On button.

Use the Coordinate column to choose if the sources' positioning will be outputted in XYZ or AED formats.

The OSC Output Filter allows you to filter out of the OSC output messages containing specific key words or string of characters.

OSC Input

Input Port

Customize the port on which you can receive Open Sound Control messages.

info

If you are using HOLOPHONIX Native or HOLOPHONIX Designer, make sure each OSC App on your computer is using a different Input port. Two applications can't share the same input port on the same computer.

ADM Scale

When receiving normalized ADM-OSC positioning messages, use this scaling setting to adjust all the received positions, without having to change the OSC automation.

Update

Automatically check for updates or manually check if updates are available when your HOLOPHONIX Processor or Native App is connected to the Internet.

Venue

Grid

You can control the opacity of each grid element, and change their color.

2D Drawings

You can import a 2D map (as a .PNG image) of your venue with the import button. Use the Room Radius and X, Y, Z Offsets to adjust the map's positioning in the Venue.

In Advanced Mode, you can also import Side and Front drawings. Activate "Show Side and Front Drawings" to display them in the Venue.

3D Models

You can import a 3D model of your Venue (as a .GLB file). Use the Scale, Rotation and Position settings to adjust the 3D model's positioning in the Venue .

To learn how to convert a file to .GLB and import it to HOLOPHONIX, check our YouTube tutorial here.

Misc

Show early

Display the virtual positions of the early reflections.

Luminosity

Adjust the virtual light in the Venue.

Orthographic | Perspective

You can choose the technique of 3D rendering. The Perspective mode might seem more natural, whereas the Orthographic display is probably easier to work with, displaying all the distances at the same size.

Power tab

From this tab, you can access the SHUT DOWN or REBOOT options.
