ViewNet Audio software application running on a computer attached to the network.
ViewNet Audio Project View Screen
ViewNet Audio is designed to allow system administration and control of setup parameters for all
machines from any computer on the network. Since ViewNet was written using the Java programming
environment, the software application can be run from computers running the Windows (95, 98, or NT),
Macintosh, or UNIX (Linux) operating systems. Administration and Server software is included with the
system to allow for setting levels of security in multi-room facilities. This helps to prevent operators from
accidentally controlling machines in other areas of the facility for which they do not have access
permission.
ViewNet provides a graphical editing environment for making changes to sound events at the mix. Multi-
machine edits and macros are also supported. Real time scrolling of sound events with clip names
provides a visual cue sheet for mixers. Complete access to all system setup parameters and the ability to
broadcast parameters to multiple sets of machines makes it easy for machine room operators to set up jobs
for different clients in different rooms. ViewNet is available from authorized TASCAM MM series
dealers and distributors.
