Promoting its pursuit of freedom from legacy hardware, upgrades to the On-Hertz Aristo audio mixer are aiming to make it easier for production teams to cater for any conceivable requirement. Making its global debut at IBC, the company’s No-Code UI Builder introduces an intuitive drag-and-drop WYSIWYG approach to the design and deployment of role-specific UIs – and all without writing a single line of code.
According to Benjamin Lardinoit, CEO and cofounder, On-Hertz, the update focuses on delivering the most intuitive UX.
“Aristo is so flexible that it is impossible to foresee all our customers’ use cases, while at the same time we are seeing more content creators and less technicians. Our job is to make it easier for all our users by giving them a tool to build whatever they need.”
Other new Artisto features at the show include a built-in automixer with up to four groups for automatic level management, a redesigned monitoring section for complete monitoring flow control, user-defined fader pages for fully customisable layouts, and VCA control.
