Major Feature Upgrades in the V2.2.8 Firmware for RTW's Full Product Line

TMxCore Adds Virtual Screens
Distributed Multi-Seat Monitoring from a Single Unit

Built on the Network Display web-based monitoring architecture, TMxCore can extend to up to 3 independent browser-based virtual screens (subject to license permissions). Each screen supports its own custom layout, aspect ratio, and soundfield/loudness views, accessible at a dedicated URL with one click.

A single host can distribute different monitoring interfaces to multiple seats — for directing, mixing, and operations — greatly reducing rack hardware investment and cabling costs. The web interface also optimizes tab naming, device icons, and preset synchronization logic, significantly improving 7×24 reliability for unattended operation.

Underlying Rework of the Preset Editor
Doubling the Efficiency of Complex Monitoring Layout Creation



This is the largest revamp of the preset editor ever, streamlining the entire workflow:

  • View and screen management interfaces are now more prominent, with real-time image preview in the editor
  • New high-precision color picker and fully customizable button sizes and styles, adapted for large-screen displays
  • Built-in configuration self-check warnings that quickly identify routing gaps, blank views, and other broadcast risks
  • Batch unified configuration of boot views, sidebars, and aspect ratios to facilitate standardized multi-machine-room deployment

Comprehensive Expansion of OSC Protocol Capabilities
Integrating Automated Broadcasting and Third-Party Control Ecosystems

Significantly expanded OSC send/receive command set with native support for the OSC 1.1 standard, perfectly compatible with control devices such as the Elgato Stream Deck:

  • Loudness calibration, EQ parameters, internal audio routing, and monitor start/stop can all be remotely controlled via OSC
  • New local loopback secure listening mode that isolates external network access to protect broadcast system security
  • Real-time control status feedback and automatic OSC alerts for audio anomalies, well suited for unattended automated machine rooms

Iteration of Immersive Audio and Loudness Measurement Algorithms
Aligned with Domestic and International Broadcast Standards

For loudness detection in 3D audio, broadcast, and streaming platforms, multiple feature additions and optimizations have been completed:

  • TMxCore's immersive analyzer adds a new LFE low-frequency correlation detector for precise control of phase in the Atmos low-frequency channel
  • Additional ATSC dialogue-gated loudness scales have been added to suit domestic and international streaming and broadcast delivery specifications
  • Simultaneous upgrades to the dialogue detector, immersive soundfield visualization, Dante channel identification, and timecode clock components
  • Faster audio routing loading and smoother parallel rendering of multiple metering interfaces

Round-the-Clock Stability Optimizations
Built for 24/7 Broadcast Scenarios

Simultaneous upgrades to firmware underlying scheduling, memory footprint, and fault-tolerance mechanisms:

  • Simplified upgrade process; the web interface auto-refreshes after a firmware update
  • New dedicated maintenance mode with enhanced fault tolerance for device power-off and restart
  • Reduced memory usage for long-term operation without lag or data drift
  • Batch fixes for historical interaction bugs, with full preset compatibility across the entire product line
