Smaart’s integrated API now allows any copy of Smaart v8 to act as a host to any other copy of Smaart v8, allowing to create a rig with one computer acquiring the input signals and performing the measurement computations, while another acts as a client and remotely accesses the measurement data. And there’s also Smaart-to-Smaart (computer-to-computer) API remote control. Smaart v8 gains broadband metering for all input devices and integrated control of gain and phantom power for the Smaart I-O measurement-grade 2×2 USB audio interface.
