[QUOTE="Per Søvik, post: 82182, member: 1285"] Re: X32 for Installed/Commercial Sound Uli, by opening up the system, are you referring to making the internal protocols and programming interface available/documented with access to the source code of the current or basic firmware? Would be great, particularly if there are any serious developers out there with the resources and ability to produce plugins and upgrades at a reasonable price. Obviously the Rack and Core have the potential to be refirmwared to be anything from automated mixers to line array processors, particularly if the line array comes with Ultranet or AES50 interfaces. The Rack can be used to expand the X32 processing power, etc. While it was clearly stated last fall that the OSC documentation was provided as is and that no user support would be available, I believe that for the sake of making the product attractive for development of software applications that might in turn make the actual hardware product more attractive for some applications, some effort should be spent on extending the OSC-documentation to at least cover every feature of the OSC-implementation. Expansions to tie in with currently popular protocols are apparently in some demand, but I can't help thinking that the AES50 in most respects is able to fulfill the integration needs of products in the X32 family, and what is somewhat lacking is the software/firmware tools of the integration itself. What we need to be able to realize the potential of the X32 family is ability to fully remote control a Rack or Core from a console, ability to cascade into buses via AES50, ability to add remote layers to the X32 to control Rack and Core in a cascading situation, etc. I believe the hardware that is already announced in most respects cover the needs, we just need the (firmware)tools to utilize the capabilities. Integrators and installers are no doubt often in need of hardware to enable tie-in with existing AES/EBU, S/PDIF, TDIF, ADAT so it would make sense to provide that. The rest of us that don't work with installations except maybe our own, are of course eagerly awaiting the direct recording card and are hoping it will have capacity beyond the hinted at 24 channels.
