Virtual audio specialist On-Hertz is using IBC2019 to launch its Artisto software audio engine, which is designed to automate sound workflows.

The company says the engine eliminates the frustrations inherent in complex hardware infrastructures, and dispenses with the need for outdated, insecure control protocols. Artisto is fully configurable and controllable via a simple, open web API.

Because Artisto is modular, it can be precisely tailored for the specific requirements of any audio application. It can be flexibly configured with a library of processing blocks such as routing, level measurement, equaliser, dynamics, web streaming, recorder, player and so on. These can be virtually wired together to build a processing pipeline for a desired workflow.

It also means that expensive DSP cards in specialised racks, or the constant need to deal with dongles and converters to get one system to communicate with another, are not needed.

Artisto also responds to user requirements for AES67, Dante or MADI I/O. It is compatible with all major computer sound card vendors and is planned to support NewTek NDI out of the box, says On-Hertz.

On-Hertz is exhibiting at IBC2019 on Stand 8.C96.
