IKIS SOFTWARE
IKIS IS HARRISON'S STUDIO AUTOMATION SYSTEM. - IKIS IS THE "OPERATING SYSTEM" WHICH PROVIDES GRAPHICAL CONTROL, AUTOMATION, SAVE/RECALL, AND CONFIGURATION OF ALL HARRISON DIGITAL CONSOLES. IKIS IS ALSO A NETWORKING PROTOCOL WHICH CONNECTS MULTIPLE DEVICES TOGETHER INCLUDING ROUTERS, MIC PREAMPS, EFFECTS, MIDI DEVICES, DIGITAL AUDIO WORKSTATIONS, TRANSPORT CONTROLLERS, AND EXTERNAL SWITCHES AND RELAYS. - MULTIPLE IKIS COMPUTERS CAN BE CONNECTED TO THE SAME NETWORK. - THIS ALLOWS FULL DATA, FILING, AND CONTROL REDUNDANCY IN THE CASE OF A BROADCAST CONSOLE, OR IT CAN BE USED TO PROVIDE REMOTE ACCESS TO THE CONSOLE FROM ANOTHER ROOM OR EVEN ANOTHER FACILITY. IKIS CAN PARTITION THE CONSOLE INTO SEVERAL DIFFERENT USERS, EACH CONTROLLING THEIR OWN SUBSET OF CONSOLE RESOURCES. IKIS DOES NOT REQUIRE A KVM SYSTEM OR "REMOTE DESKTOP": EACH IKIS COMPUTER IS A STANDALONE APPLICATION WITH FULL AUTONOMOUS CONTROL. ANY IKIS COMPUTER CAN CONTROL ANY USER'S RESOURCES, AND EACH IKIS COMPUTER CAN BE LIMITED TO CERTAIN FUNCTIONS IF NEEDED. PASSWORD PROTECTION IS IMPLEMENTED TO PROTECT THE CRITICAL CONSOLE SETTINGS IN A BROADCAST FACILITY.

IKIS PROVIDES A RICH SERIES OF PAGES, CUSTOMIZED TO THE CONSOLE APPLICATION (FILM,MUSIC, SOUND REINFORCEMENT, OR BROADCAST). THESE PAGES CAN FOLLOW THE OPERATOR WHEN HE IS WORKING ON THE CONSOLE, PROVIDING HEADS-UP DISPLAY OF DSP, FILING, AND AUTOMATION FUNCTIONS. OR THE USER CAN "LOCK" A DISPLAY TO A PARTICULAR PAGE. SINCE MULTIPLE IKIS SCREENS CAN BE CONNECTED TO A CONSOLE, IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE A RICH COMPLEMENT OF DISPLAYS SHOWING BOTH AN OVERVIEW, AND THE FINE DETAILS OF A MIX.

IKIS CAN ACCOMMODATE TOUCH SCREEN AND PEN-BASED SCREEN OPTIONS. THE IKIS SCREENS ARE RESOLUTION-INDEPENDENT. 21" MONITORS OR LARGER CAN BE UTILIZED TO THEIR FULL EXTENT.
MENUS AND OTHER GRAPHICAL OBJECTS ARE ANIMATED AND SEMI-TRANSPARENT. FEATURES LIKE DRAG-N-DROP, FINE ADJUST, CONTEXTUAL MENUS, AND POPUP HELP CREATE AN INTUITIVE WORKFLOW. THIS ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND BREADTH OF SCOPE GIVES IKIS AN UNMATCHED FEEL AMONG CONSOLE AUTOMATION SYSTEMS
XTOOLS
THE HARRISON XTOOLS PACKAGE IS A OPTIONAL COLLECTION OF AUDIO TOOLS AND PROCESSING PLUGINS WHICH EXPAND THE DSP FUNCTIONS OF THE CONSOLE, JUST LIKE PLUGINS IN A MODERN WORKSTATION. - XTOOL PLUGINS MAY BE INSERTED INTO THE SIGNAL PATH JUST LIKE A PIECE OF EXTERNAL GEAR, BUT XTOOLS ARE AUTOMATED, RECALLED, AND DIRECTLY INTERCONNECTED WITH THE CONSOLE.

EXTRAS: ALL HARDWARE, X-ENGINES, ROUTER, TO MAKE SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL.

MODIFICATIONS: THE SYSTEM RECEIVED A $100,000 UPGRADE IN 2007 BY HARRISON TO UTILIZE THEIR LATEST X-RANGE DSP MAKING THIS AN INCREDIBLE BUY. IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET FOR THIS LEVEL OF CONSOLE, THAN YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE TYPE OF PRECISION THE SYSTEM RECOMMENDS.
