CLEVELAND—Telos Alliance announced a software update for its Axia Quasar XR and SR line of audio-over-IP (AoIP) mixing consoles and will show the offering at the 2025 NAB Show, April 5-9, in Las Vegas.
Quasar V3.2 offers several improvements for Quasar Soft, the optional HTML5 browser-based remote-control solution for XR and SR consoles. Prior to the update, control was available only with hardware surfaces, the company said.
Quasar Soft users now can use Call Control to operate their Telos VX broadcast telephone systems and Intercom Control to manage a Telos Infinity intercom system. The update also adds 32 user-programmable hot keys in the full monitor section, as well as four user-programmable hot keys on each channel strip to control external devices. The benefits also extend to Quasar Engine RPS, which uses Quasar Soft to control connected surfaces or to create a standalone mixer without the need for a hardware surface, it said.
“Our goal is to provide the same features and user experience to all Axia Quasar users whether they are mixing on a physical XR or SR console, employing Quasar Soft to control a hardware surface, or using Quasar Soft as a standalone mixer,” Telos Alliance senior product manager Luca LaRosa said.
“The Quasar V3.2 update bridges the gap between the hardware and soft surface experience, allowing customers to choose the platform that works best for them, knowing that the features and capabilities they expect will be there.”
Quasar Soft also offers new slider-type faders and dynamic scaling of the browser window, providing an improved interface and user experience with less scrolling, particularly on smaller monitors, tablets and mobile devices, it said.
The company said it expects to become available March 31 from Axia channel partners.
