playout solution, you just found it with Ovation.

behaviours based on simple text. “Do something
to something else once you’ve done something,
only if something else is happening”.. easy!

complex timelines made up of multiple audio
files. Mix samplerates, file types and media
locations and embed them in single cues.

Ovation: Audio for Live, Redefined

Ovation: NATIVE

More than just a cue sequencer

All the power of Ovation on your laptop

With Ovation, all of the standard features associated with a cue sequencer are
just the beginning of the list. The concept of Ovation is to finally stop stringing
together box after box, with each one performing just one part of the task.
Ovation is the entire performance audio solution, in a 2U box.

For designers using Ovation, Merging has prepared aversion just for you. Run Ovation Native on any Windows
computer or laptop and get the job done, even if you
are nowhere near the main Ovation PC. Update shows,work through system issues, demonstrate potentials, you
can even run shows with Ovation Native! The software,
options and interface are exactly the same, and the show
files are of course completely transferable
between systems… need anything else?

Immersive audio content with Pyramix

work on the side of the sound designer, until now. Using Merging’s Immersivepanning and custom speaker arrays, users can actually mix onsite with ease,
ensuring that the content truly does fit the space every time.

Complete the ultimate trifecta AV solution
Two names synonymous with the AV industry have got to be Medialon (ShowControl) and Dataton (Watchout Video Server). Adding Ovation to these two
products creates the most coherent and flexible AV solution imaginable, foreven the biggest of events. All three companies have worked long and hard toensure that when using each product together, the show will go on every night.

Native AES67 & RAVENNA
Using AES67 as the native connectivity for Ovation engines, Merging has future
proofed users against any progressions in the AoIP landscape. The ability tointerconnect network audio streams with any other AES67 compatible systemmeans that installers can use Ovation as their solution with confidence.

Ovation: Broadcast Playout

The TV industry knows live as well. Whether it
is a game show, sporting event, or any other TV
production in need of ‘at the moment’ sound andcontrol, Ovation is the ultimate solution. Tried andtested in some of the most important and influential
TV stations around the world, Ovation is more flexible
and powerful than the competition, and its usuallymuch more cost effective as well.
