MT128 ON BOARD !

The MT128 Software is meant to be embedded within hardware solutions.

MT128 software, thanks to its ergonomics is designed for manufacturers and suppliers willing to provide a secure solution for multitrack recording in stressful environment.

By design, very inspired by old tape machine, the MT128 constitutes a new generation of multi-track recorders, taking advantage of the latest technology of digital audio and computer.

Its touch screen interface and simple design enable the operator to easily use it safely, with peace of mind. No need to move hundreds of windows or configure thousand parameters. Recording can start by a single click after startup.




MT128 INTEGRATION MODEL

Different possibilities : from Tablet PC to Mixing Console.

Innovason Eclipse.
The M.A.R.S. is the Recorder System proposed by Innovason in their last mixing console. It allows to Playback/Record 64 tracks through the 64 i/o of the Ethersound network.
MARS in the Innovason Eclipse Console
Through an internal Ethernet connection and a specific protocol, the MT128 can be controlled directly by the surface control of the Eclipse console.

The MT128 is also integrated in 19" industrial PC to provide a standalone turnkey solution for Live Recording.







The MT128 project

The MT128 project began in 2005 when it became clear that there was no recording software on the market adapted to operational situations and stressful environments. We paid careful attention to comments from sound engineers regarding overly complicated generalist audio software unsuited to managing a large number of tracks and in situ constraints. This led us to launch a project to develop a digital audio 128-track player-recorder driven by a simple, efficient graphical user interface on a touch screen.

The flexibility of software and the reliability of hardware

The first constraint was to guarantee the system's reliability. That's why the MT128 integrates specific measuring tools and a test protocol that validates the configuration point by point: stability of the DSP load in real time, stability of the digital audio streaming, load tests for disks, tests in situ, and endurance tests. The MT128 can even cope with power cuts, including during recording (the audio files are automatically repaired when the project is recharged).

A simple, efficient GUI

The MT128's graphical user interface is specially designed to simplify operation. The number of procedures by operators is kept to a strict minimum and the screens are designed to enable them to manage 128 tracks simply and efficiently. Recording can even be launched with a single click once the system is running.

Ready for future networks

Provisioning of the MT128 was done in anticipation of new networks for channelling digital audio data. Today, MADI and Ethersound carry 64 channels but, thanks to T1000 infrastructures, more powerful networks will soon appear - and the MT128 will be ready for them.

Immediately embeddable:

MT128 software is designed to be either embedded (like Eclipse Innovason consoles) or used on a dedicated PC. It includes several useful administration functions (like formatting disks) which make it possible to hide the operating system or to limit access to a restricted number of users or just to administrators.

The MT128: revolution and evolution

The MT128 is revolutionary and puts users at ease in front of a real, dedicated machine thanks to its efficient, reassuring touch screen interface as well as quick, stable functioning. Furthermore, the MT128 remains software, with all the advantages that implies. Simple, secure procedures let you update the tool as it is adapted to the needs of users.

MT128: Distribution / integration

MT128 licences are sold exclusively to industrial firms, equipment makers, and service providers who are looking for a turnkey recording solution. The MT128 is an application for use by professionals with the appropriate configuration and infrastructure.

The MT128 in action

The MT128 has already been used in numerous situations: as a multi-track recorder at festivals such as Les Vielles Charrues and Mawazine in Rabat (Morocco) and the classical music festival in Saint Denis (France), as well as by Herbert Grönemeyer and his "Schiffsverkehr" tour, at concerts by Helene Fischer and BAP (Germany), for the latest Eddy Mitchell concert at the Olympia in Paris... and as a Redundant Playout System for the Pet Shop Boys - among others. The MT128 is also used as a playback system for rehearsals and DVD recordings for "We Will Rock You", "Hairspray," and "the Rocky Horror Show" (Germany), as a recorder (for the Chinese diva Faye Wong, Jazz in Vienna, the Archive tour, etc.), to find the right balance in the Innovason Eclipse console, "Virtual Soundcheck", at rehearsals (Toronto Jazz Festival, London's Royal Opera House, etc.), or as main or spare playback (with the Eclipse console in Broadway mode for the Mozart Opera Rock tour, for instance). In addition, the MT128 is used as an audio logger to record up to 128 audio digital signals (TV reality shows, broadcasts of World Cup competitions in several languages in South Africa, etc.). The Robert Schumann Institute in Düsseldorf makes use of the MT128 for teaching purposes.
