As an extension to its recent product launch of the Advanced Music Bridge (AMB), (Autonomic’s first new product release since returning as an independent company) Autonomic continues to progress its award-winning line of AoIP multi-room audio products with a suite of control system updates to enable support of the AMB’s new features and improve overall performance.

The Advanced Music Bridge works with Autonomic eSeries Mirage Media Servers to deliver next generation features through its latest firmware release, Mirage OS 7, which includes the highly anticipated support for browse and playback of Apple Music, Calm Radio, and increases local track limit support from 40,000 to an astonishing 200,000 tracks. Many of its third-party integration partners require updates to the existing driver set to support access for the new services. Updated drivers are available for Control4, Elan, RTI, and URC. For Crestron, Crestron Home, and Josh.ai systems, support is automatically available at the time new services are introduced on the MMS Mirage Operating System.

In addition to new integrated features, Autonomic has announced a new driver for Crestron Home to add support for their suite of eSeries matrix amplifiers. Now Crestron Home systems are equipped to support a full multi-room solution using Autonomic’s proprietary eAudioCast™ audio over IP technology for a flexible and scalable solution supporting up to 32 sources into 40 audio zones. Intuitive controls enable users to power on/off zones, control volume for independent or groups of zones, and direct local and streaming sources to any zone on the system. Autonomic offers its dealers strong margins and bundled system packages enabling their partners to provide a robust and feature-rich solution ready to power the latest high-end residential and light commercial projects.

Additional updates to improve programming and simplify integration of Autonomic products include: 

Control4

To help simplify programming and setup, Autonomic has updated its Control4 driver (version 6.6.8) to automatically install supportive instance drivers needed for programming streaming services on any of the eSeries MMS models. Other updates include improvements to overall performance and stability.

RTI

The newest RTI driver version 20.3.0 works with the latest RTI software including RTI Integration Designer Apex 10.4 and Integration Designer 11. The driver includes pre-programmed UI bundles that supports all UI functionality helping to reduce programming and setup times.

Savant

For continued support of legacy SMS A Series units, Autonomic provides dealers a SMS License Upgrade to convert the unit to an Autonomic license to update to the latest firmware available.
