Yamaha redevelops its ProVisionaire platform

At ISE 2023, Yamaha is launching its redeveloped ProVisionaire suite of system design, control and management software, which allows fully customisable configuration and operation of complex audio systems. It is being launched alongside the DME7 digital signal processor.

ProVisionaire has been redeveloped with three core applications to support the user's entire workflow: ProVisionaire Design for system design, ProVisionaire Control for system operation and ProVisionaire Cloud for system management. The DME7 is an open architecture-type digital signal processor, which offers 96kHz sound quality and support for up to 256 input/output channels. The parameters of systems created in ProVisionaire Design are assigned to the ProVisionaire Control application, which provides unified remote control and monitoring through custom-designed panels. Design time for these can be reduced by using user interface templates, available for download from the Yamaha website. ProVisionaire Cloud will initially manage additional functionality licences for Yamaha audio equipment, with activation and deactivation of licences reportedly allowing for an efficient management of assets.

The DME7 provides 64 channels of Dante I/O and matrix mixer as standard, with further channels added via three additional 64-channel licences, activated through ProVisionaire Cloud. These offer the ability for 128x128, 192x192 or 256x256 channels of Dante I/O and matrix mixer to be handled by a single DME7. Additional licences can be activated on a permanent or temporary basis. A wide range of DSP components is included as standard. These can be freely selected, connected and configured for flexible system construction. Along with 96kHz audio quality, support for GPI input/output, Logic control, OSC and other protocols, as well as ProVisionaire Design/Control and optional controllers, the DME7 is suitable for a wide range of installed and temporary audio systems, from entertainment applications and sports facilities to retail complexes, office buildings and education.
