Coda Audio announces availability of the latest public beta version of its proprietary prediction software - System Optimiser. The announcement calls it “a major update from the current version, providing integration with other software; Trimble SketchUp & Flux: IRCAM Spat Revolution Immersive Engine.”
Several other notable additions include:
- XYZ support for free-planes.
- Redesigned floorplan editor.
- Multiple new features in microphones.
- Added screenshot export feature.
- Many more bugfixes and improvements (reference the published changelog for details).
System Optimiser is designed to enable the user to accurately simulate several Coda Audio Loudspeakers in any 3D Scene. Design is possible for all sizes of audio system, from the smallest gathering up to the largest of stadium production. In creating proposals for clients, SPL Pressure mapping is presented in detail.
“Computationally intensive operations have been highly optimised to deliver results in seconds, not minutes - CODA Audio calls this ‘mathemagic’,“ according to the release. „Predictions are wholly based on real-world electro-acoustic measurements, heavily utilising multifaceted multipole expansions. A highly complex atmospheric model is employed which takes into account temperature, dewpoint, humidity and altitude. Complex response functions are morphed using cutting-edge continuous phase techniques, the end result being authentic free-field predictions indistinguishable from reality.”
Tools are included to create complex designs. The layout tool can be used to place loudspeakers in a multitude of shapes and arrangements. The template engine is a powerful way of managing entities within the layout system. Measurement microphones can be placed anywhere within the 3D scene. Probes are a smart extension of the measurement microphones designed to make choosing line array angles stress-free. Link Groups define how line arrays are connected, and allow electronic filters to be applied to correct for distance and splay angle.
The System Optimiser Beta is now available as a native macOS / Windows / Linux application for registered users.
