Metric Halo issue Mio Console Software v54
Published: PRODUCTS
Metric Halo have announced v5.4 of its Mobile I/O software.
The Mio Console software provides a virtual console that configures and controls all internal routing and DSP within Metric Halo’s family of FireWire hardware interfaces. Version 5.4 adds support for infrared remote control and demos of Metric Halo’s +DSP upgrade and plug-ins.
Using an IR remote control, v5.4 allows users to control input gains and listening levels, while the software has the ability to learn the remote control’s codes and store them in the interface so that the remote control works when the computer is turned off. v5.4 also allows users to demo plug-ins that run on the hardware such as the optional +DSP package, which uses the hardware’s processing power to process inputs, outputs, or any combination thereof with Metric Halo’s proprietary algorithms.
‘Mio Console v5.4 provides a number of major new features and literally hundreds of fixes for mostly small (and a couple of big, but rare) issues that have been encountered by our users and testers since the release of v5.3,’ said Allen Rowand, field operative for Metric Halo. ‘Customers who want to integrate our hardware into high-end home theatre systems will appreciate the new infrared functionality, as will audio professionals seeking greater control at a distance. The new +DSP demo and ‘a la carte’ option will allow users to make better use of the functionalities we provide. Overall, we’re confident that this is best release of the Mio Console yet, and we encourage users to take advantage of the free upgrade.’
The manufacturer reports that new functions include a revised and comprehensive documentation set, support for in-console hardware and software registration, improved stability when running multiple CoreAudio clients, an improved firmware upgrade experience, support for resetting Mio hardware via software commands, enhanced undo/redo support, and enhanced support of SMPTE TC (including HD timecode). Users can now purchase single plug-ins without committing to the entire +DSP package.
