Building on a long-term relationship with audio metering specialist RTW, Calrec has integrated TMxCore metering platform across its full range of Argo IP consoles – making Calrec the first technology partner to incorporate the TMxCore technology into a third-party product.
Based on RTW’s TouchMonitor TM7/TM9 technology, the TMxCore introduces several processing resources aimed at supporting evolving workflows in broadcast, postproduction and immersive audio.
Designed to adapt to changing broadcast workflows, Calrec’s adoption of the TMxCore enables Argo to embrace a raft of powerful new processing features, including AI-assisted tools for advanced speech intelligibility analysis. It also natively combines RTW’s industry-standard measurement accuracy, a fully compliant suite of loudness and metering tools, and metering of stereo, surround and a range of immersive formats including 5.1, 7.1.4, 9.1.6 and 22.2.
TMxCore is designed to natively work with Ravenna, AES67, ST2110 and Dante, so installation is as straightforward and as stress-free as operation.
‘Our customers are constantly developing their broadcast workflows to adapt to changing consumer and regulatory needs, and they trust RTW to keep pace,’ says Calrec Managing Director, Sid Stanley. ‘As with our native integration of RTW’s TouchMonitor TM7, this development gives Argo S and Argo Q customers the ability to display the TMxCore metering directly on its high-resolution touchscreens, with a rackmounted option for the super compact Argo M. ‘Our job is to make our customers’ lives as easy as possible, and this integration with RTW means that metering is one more thing they don’t have to worry about.’
With the introduction of the concurrent launch of the plug-and-play 48-fader Argo M, the Argo family now comprises five consoles – all integrate able to use RTW’s new high-performance metering platform in any environment.
‘With TMxCore, we’re giving our customers the tools and adaptability they need to handle complex workflows — from immersive formats to AI-driven speech intelligibility analysis,’ says RTW Director of Product Management, Thomas Valter. ‘It’s a robust evolution of our metering technology and a clear step towards the future.’
All Argo’s built-in RTW metering includes licences that cover international loudness regulations, as well as multichannel and immersive audio applications. Additional licenses are available for expanding to other metering instruments and features.
