Connecting to Holophonix

When the app starts, the Connection screen is where you link it to your Holophonix. You pick a mode, set the connection details, and connect.

Choose a mode

  • Standalone — the app connects directly to the Holophonix. Use this for a single operator on one device.
  • Server — the app connects to the Holophonix and hosts a session for other devices. Use this when several devices control the same show.
  • Client — the app follows a session hosted by another instance running in Server mode. It does not connect to the Holophonix directly.

Connect to the Holophonix

In Standalone (or Server) mode:

  1. Select the network interface to connect through.
  2. Enter the Holophonix IP address — or pick one from the recent addresses below the field.
  3. Connect.

Standalone connection settings

When the link is up, the Status panel shows the Holophonix's state and Detected Channels lists every channel found on the processor.

Connect as a client

In Client mode, reach an HRC Server in one of two ways:

  • Enter the server's IP and port, or
  • pick a server from Auto Discovery.

If the server has a password, you'll be asked for it.

Client connection settings

Backup & failover

You can set a backup Holophonix. If the primary link drops, the app fails over to the backup automatically — and switches back when the primary returns — so a show keeps running through a processor outage.
