DISPLAY 2.3

Overview

DISPLAY 2.3 is a unique software application for Wavefront Precision systems which calculates both inter-cabinet splay angles and the
DSP parameters for optimum system performance in any given space. Unlike competitors' systems which generally use a basic geometric
calculation to aim their arrays, DISPLAY uses an extremely accurate computer model of the array to analyse the system performance in
a drawing of the venue. This allows DISPLAY to precisely calculate the parameters for the system to get exactly the coverage you have
specified. As a system designer you determine exactly how you would like the system to perform in the space; the SPL contour from the
front to the back of your audience region, how much spill into non-audience areas is acceptable and even specify designated Hard Avoid®
areas that the system will actively process to reduce spill to a minimum - great for producing a quiet stage or for reducing off-site noise
pollution at outdoor events.
The application is very straightforward to use taking you through a series of steps in a logical order. In fact, it won't allow you to attempt
to design a system in the wrong order; steps need to be completed one after the other in the correct order making it very straightforward to
design an array that will perform to its maximum potential.
DISPLAY opens with a dashboard at the top of the screen the initial view prompting you to specify your array which is the first step of the
design process. WPL, WPC or WPM are available along with the Multicellular family of products. You next specify how your array will be
deployed – flown, or ground stacked – specify the number of cabinets and give the array a name.
The dashboard changes to show the tabs from left and right in the order in which the design will be completed.
First a 2D slice of the venue is created, the coverage within the venue is specified and the splay angles calculated. A rigging report allows
you to deploy the array and whilst that is being done the EQ coefficients are calculated. Finally, an SPL report gives detailed information
showing exactly how the system will perform. The computer model is accurate to within +/- 1dB of actual measured results, meaning the
SPL tab is a reliable overview of how well your system design will cover the space.
