Allen & Heath Releases iDR Software Update

May 14, 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.
