This release is a significant advancement in the company’s second-generation software capabilities, following the major upgrade to its operating system, OS2.0, earlier this year. While OS2.0 enhances HOLOPLOT’s core technology, Plan 2.0 introduces innovative new features and enhancements within the sound system design software itself.

Enhanced User Interface and Workflow

Plan 2.0 features a new user interface and workflow improvements, making the design and simulation of sound systems more intuitive and efficient. According to Adele Gardner, Senior Product Manager for HOLOPLOT Plan, “HOLOPLOT Plan serves as the gateway to HOLOPLOT’s revolutionary technology. Our unmatched steering capabilities provide previously inaccessible levels of sound control, allowing you to precisely tailor your system design, which can be visualized inside the software.”

New Features in Plan 2.0

Presets Functionality

Users can now create multiple presets within a single HOLOPLOT Plan project file. Switching presets allows users to change the entire beam layout, transforming the system and venue from live performance to cinema, or from a single-language conference to a multi-language conference with multiple zones, all with a single button click.

Beam Library

The new library view allows users to generate an unlimited number of beams, simplifying beam management and removing limitations on creativity. All beams are optimized directly within the software, making HOLOPLOT Plan an integral part of the HOLOPLOT workflow.

Real-Time Simulation and SPL Heat Maps

The integration of configuration and simulation into a single 3D viewport provides immediate feedback and adjustments in real-time, ensuring optimal sound distribution and clarity.

Gardner concludes, “Holoplot technology allows users new levels of control over sound propagation through software, giving them a much higher degree of freedom. We see a broad range of applications that can benefit massively from this enhanced level of control, and our design software is freely accessible to everyone. From those starting out with our systems who want to explore and produce quick and easy designs to expert users creating advanced designs, HOLOPLOT Plan 2.0 is designed for ultimate flexibility, capable of managing projects and sound systems of any size or complexity. With even more advanced sound control capabilities, this update promises to set a new standard in the audio industry.”
