Dashboard
Our latest update brings a dashboard designed to give you quick access to essential device information, including network status, audio streams, operating temperature, and connection details across the nnounce ecosystem.
Easily monitor storage, active scripts, and performance metrics, while Identify Device feature helps locate devices with a single click. In addition, with real-time monitoring and DSP design insight, managing system has never been easier!
Background Music
The Audio Player component offers seamless audio playback with versatile options. Choose between the internal media library or use a third-party MPD client..
With common player controls like play, shuffle, mute/unmute, and repeat, you can customize your audio experience. The Internal Media Library manages the queue within the nnounce ecosystem, resetting the queue when the audio source changes. In contrast, by using the MPD Client mode you can create playlists, browse the audio library, adjust volume, control playback remotely using your favorite third-party MPD client..
Whether you're using the internal library or a third party MPD client, the Audio Player gives you complete control over your audio content.
New DSP Components
Our latest DSP update introduces powerful new components to ensure distortion-free, adaptive sound in any environment.
Ambient Noise Sensing: Automatically adjusts audio volume based on ambient noise levels, ensuring optimal sound clarity in varying conditions.
RMS and Limiter: Work together to maintain distortion-free sound, delivering consistent, high-quality audio across all channels.
Ducker: Automatically lowers the volume of non-priority channels when a “priority” channel’s signal exceeds a set threshold, ensuring important announcements always take precedence.
These new components provide full control over your audio flow, ensuring clear, balanced sound no matter the environment.
Unified Device Management with Simpleway CX
Another key feature is the effortless compatibility with Simpleway CX, including Airport CX, Transit CX, and Enterprise CX. From a single platform, you can manage all your devices with ease—set them up, automate backups, and synchronize audio files to maintain smooth and consistent communication across your network.
Additionally, the new File Synchronization functionality bridges the gap between the Raptor System and nnounce devices, ensuring files like audio content are automatically updated and in sync. This enhancement optimizes workflows, reduces manual interventions, and helps maintain reliable operations across all connected devices.
Scripting
Our new Scripting feature empowers you to fully customize your nnounce devices. Create and automate your own scripts to streamline processes and enhance functionality. With Snippets, you can quickly access a predefined set of commonly used scripts for efficiency. The new Test Run function allows you to easily verify that your script works as expected, making troubleshooting effortless and ensuring smooth operation.
