New Features in 4.6.1
Reassignable Tracks As of 4.6.1, any track within Timeline Plus can be re-assigned to one (or more) track of the same type. So, if you have a show running on 4 mixes, you can start four mixes on a prep dongle and program offline with Hippotizer’s Visualizer. When it comes time to go to site, the four mixes can then be re-assigned to mixes on the actual machines. A track can be assigned to control multiple target tracks for back up and real-time visualization.
- Seamlessly transition from pre-programming to playback by simply re-mapping the mix from visualizer to output.
- Effortlessly control parallel back-ups by triggering two targets at once.
- Control the Visualizer and the output in parallel for real-time Realtime Visualization and confidence monitoring.
Rename Tracks In Timeline+ Any Track in Timeline can be given a ‘friendly name’ for quick identification and ease of programming.
- Organise complex shows for faster programming
- Simplify user training and onboarding
