Abstract
The audio production console includes a touch-sensitive display cradled by a chassis that also includes a console panel and meter bridge. The touch-sensitive display includes an IR sensor perimeter and related circuitry for processing multi-touch events simultaneously and translating those events into parameter controls. The parameter controls are represented digitally on the display in a GUI reminiscent of traditional analog production console layouts. Software tracks movement of the digital parameter controls and works in conjunction with hardware to manipulate production audio as one or more on-screen parameters are adjusted by touching the display.
Claims24
An audio production console, comprising:
- a monitor for displaying an interactive graphical user interface having at least two on-screen audio controls;
- a multi-touch sensing system for simultaneously locating and tracking at least two input events respectively corresponding with said at least two on-screen audio controls displayed by said interactive graphical user interface;
- an audio controller for associating said input events located and tracked by said multi-touch sensing system with respective audio control parameters represented graphically as said on-screen audio controls by said interactive graphical user interface;
- and
- a feedback controller for adjusting an audio track in response to changes to said audio control parameters linked to movement of said on-screen audio controls as part of said input events located and tracked by said multi-touch sensing system.

An audio production console, comprising:
- a chassis supporting a monitor for displaying an interactive graphical user interface having at least two on-screen audio controls, wherein said chassis includes a meter bridge;
- a multi-touch sensing system supported by said chassis and including a plurality of light emitters and a respective plurality of light detectors disposed around a periphery of said monitor, wherein said light emitters generate a light beam for reception by said light detectors for simultaneously locating and tracking at least two input events respectively corresponding with said at least two on-screen audio controls displayed by said interactive graphical user interface;
- an audio controller for associating said input events located and tracked by said multi-touch sensing system with respective audio control parameters represented graphically as said on-screen audio controls by said interactive graphical user interface;
- and
- a feedback controller for adjusting an audio track in response to changes to said audio control parameters linked to movement of said on-screen audio controls as part of said input events located and tracked by said multi-touch sensing system.

An audio production console, comprising:
- a chassis supporting a monitor for displaying an interactive graphical user interface having at least two on-screen audio controls comprising a knob, a fader, a button or a hot key, wherein said chassis includes a meter bridge;
- a multi-touch infrared sensing system supported by said chassis and including a plurality of infrared light emitters and a respective plurality of infrared light detectors disposed around a periphery of said monitor, wherein said infrared light emitters generate an infrared light beam for reception by said light detectors for simultaneously locating and tracking at least two input events respectively corresponding with said at least two on-screen audio controls displayed by said interactive graphical user interface, said infrared light beams forming a grid over said monitor;
- an audio controller for associating said input events located and tracked by said multi-touch sensing system with respective audio control parameters represented graphically as said on-screen audio controls by said interactive graphical user interface;
- and
- a feedback controller for adjusting an audio track in response to changes to said audio control parameters linked to movement of said on-screen audio controls as part of said input events located and tracked by said multi-touch sensing system.
2 more elements
An audio production process, including the steps of:
- displaying an interactive graphical user interface having at least two on-screen audio controls on a monitor;
- simultaneously locating and tracking at least two input events with a sensing system associated with said monitor, said input events respectively corresponding with said at least two on-screen audio controls displayed by said interactive graphical user interface;
- associating said located and tracked input events with respective audio control parameters represented graphically as said on-screen audio controls by said interactive graphical user interface;
- and
- adjusting an audio track in response to changes to said audio control parameters linked to movement of said on-screen audio controls as part of said located and tracked input events.
