Audiomovers have announced that their Mac-based virtual patchbay software suite has gained an additional plug-in that will allow multiple systems on the same network to communicate via the widely adopted NDI protocol.
Released in June 2024, Omnibus 3.0 is a powerful routing solution that makes it possible to route audio between applications, as well as to and from hardware I/O devices. It now includes a new companion plug-in, Minibus, making it possible to connect multiple computers and share audio between them via NDI. Audiomovers say that the combination represents a significant leap forward for audio professionals, enabling users to configure multiple machines for tasks like A/B comparisons of immersive mixes, multi-channel monitor system switching, connecting multiple machines into studio or live environments, or connecting to immersive audio-ready interfaces.
“We are committed to working to remove the unnecessary barriers to audio workflows and collaboration, speeding up processes so audio professionals can concentrate on being creative and making great work. With the integration of the supporting NDI transmission plug-in Minibus into Omnibus 3, we’re doing exactly that: further empowering Omnibus users to achieve seamless audio routing over networks, including wirelessly, on sessions and in studios.” - Igor Maxymenko, Co-Founder and Head of Product, Audiomovers
