Studio Technologies has released a macOS-compatible version of its STcontroller software application, previously limited to Windows only.
Mac users now have use of STcontroller’s support of Dante-compatible products. STcontroller also allows personal computer users to access a product’s operating configuration, displaying existing settings and allowing rapid changes, as desired. Both the macOS and Windows versions of STcontroller are available for download, free of charge, from the Studio Technologies website.
The new version is a native Mac application and is compatible with macOS X Sierra 10.12 and later. On starting STcontroller, the application scans an associated local area network (LAN) and automatically identifies compatible Studio Technologies’ Dante devices. Users can thenconfirm and revise selected parameters. Some devices will have just two or three configurable choices, while others can have dozens. In all cases, users are presented with a concise GUI interface. STcontroller is ideal for time-sensitive on-air sports and entertainment applications where on the fly changes are sometimes required.
‘A macOS version of STcontroller is something that we developed in response to multiple customer requests,’ says, Studio Technologies President, Gordon Kapes. ‘Technical personnel who utilize macOS can now directly review and revise a device’s operating parameters from wherever they can access the Dante network, saving time and ensuring optimal device performance. So now in addition to supporting Windows users, we’re pleased to be able to meet the needs of customers that use Mac laptops, something that’s especially relevant in field applications.’
Studio Technologies currently offers more than 20 products that are STcontroller-compatible, and will continue to expand the list of supported products in the coming months. In addition to being able to make real time configuration changes, STcontroller allows complete device configurations to be created, saved, and loaded. This enables technical personnel to implement their desired configurations for later deployment and duplication. In addition, Studio Technologies recently added real-time audio level display for some products in both its Windows and macOS versions.
