Neyrinck Audio’s V-Control Pro 2 system now includes a Dolby Atmos pan screen in V-Panner, and iOS versions of the V-Console app for controlling the Dolby Atmos plug-in in Pro Tools. This is the first and, presently, only touch-screen Dolby Atmos controller available.
V-Control Pro 2 is a complete integrated control system for OS-X and Windows and includes the free 8- or 16-fader V-Console and the V-Panner control apps connecting through V-Control Pro 2 software to simplify control of the main media applications. When using an iPad, V-Panner and V-Console can connect directly to the computer without WiFi using the Apple Lightning-to-USB or 30-pin-to-USB cables, which provides ultra-fast response and compatibility with secure facilities.
The Dolby Atmos plug-in is used to create spatial 3D panning for object tracks in Pro Tools on the dubbing stage. The 3D panning data from the Dolby Atmos plug-in is sent to the Dolby Rendering and Mastering Unit (the RMU), together with direct audio output of the object track. The new Dolby Atmos pan screen in the V-Panner and V-Console iPad app directly controls the object panning in the Dolby Atmos plug-in allowing for more creative movement control of the object from the iPad screen.
The Dolby Atmos iPad screen includes controls for Z Elevation, Wedge, Ceiling and Sphere Elevation modes, as well as an object size control – mirroring controls in the plug-in.
‘We have had a long partnership with Dolby since we started developing our range of Dolby SoundCode plug-ins that enable LtRt, Dolby E, and Dolby Digital, surround sound workflows in Pro Tools,’ says company founder, Paul Neyrinck. ‘We are delighted to be able to provide our customers with a new, more intuitive way to control spatial positioning of Atmos objects in Pro Tools.’
V-Control Pro 2 system annual licence can be purchased for US$49.99 from the Neyrinck Store. A limited version free trial is also available. V-Console and V-Panner free apps are available from the Neyrinck website for Android and web, and from the Apple App store for iPads. Legacy V-Control Pro v1.9 iPad customers can download V-Control Pro 2 software free for complete V-Control Pro 1.9 compatibility with OS-X and Windows media applications.
Current V-Control Pro 2 customers can upgrade V-Console and V-Panner apps at no cost, and should download the latest version of V-Control Pro 2 software from the Neyrinck website.
