ENTTEC announces new features are here for everybody to enjoy with the latest release of the ELM software update, available for download now from the ENTTEC LED Mapper (ELM) page on the URL below.
The latest version 413 installer supersedes the previous installer, Version 383.
ENTTEC LED Mapper (ELM)’s popular audio functionality has been given a significant overhaul. With the addition of 20 audio-reactive eye-candy effects, users now have access to more than 100 high quality built-in effects. Other cool features include:
* Drive eye-candy effects with audio
* Eight audio input channels
* Per-channel high/low frequency control
* Per-channel volume control
* ASIO support for minimum latency
* Activate via remote HTTP or OSC API
To improve the rendering of fast-paced effects on low resolution LED matrices, the option to add blur across all pixels has been added and can be applied on a per-stage basis to suit each area of the user’s installation. This is perfect for giving content smoother edges and improving dimming across the user’s LEDs.
ELM can now handle more media slots, allowing up to 255 locations to add the user’s media, generative effects, and live video input sources.
To improve the mapping workflow, a button has been added to reverse the control points for each of the user’s strips. This is handy if the strip has been physically installed the opposite way to a user’s original plan. Simply right-click on the first control point of a strip (the green one) and select the “reverse points” menu item. Problem solved!
Furthermore, image snapshots of the positions of the LEDs on stages can be exported in png format directly from ELM. This is incredibly useful for motion designers as they can use the snapshot as a content guide. Users can find the new “LED snapshot” button under the stage tab, just next to the monitor button.
For better synchronization across multiple DMX nodes, sACN sync has been implemented and can be enabled or disabled at any time.
For improved performance, network usage and discovery, the NDI SDK has been updated to version 3.8.
As usual, this update is free for all existing ELM license-holders, so ENTTEC encourages users to download it from the links below (or via the ELM page) as soon as they can, and start playing with some of these amazing new features. For an in-depth run-down of what’s new or changed, see the release notes.
