Halo Vision's GUI is organized in modules--tools you can view all at once or prioritize and view them according to your measurement requirement(s) at the time. This architecture allows for easily adding new modules such as the new Time code view feature.

One of the most important uses of Halo Vision is to view correlation--the phase relationship between all channels together or paired individually. Two-channel stereo is easily visualized but 7.1.2 channels used in surround, Atmos, Sony 360 and other formats present a challenge! Halo Vision's Correlation Matrix shows the phase relationship between any two selected channels. A right triangle chart shows, at a glance, up to ten channels on X and Y axes each with its own anti-correlation warning (whenever that cell glows red momentarily). For a more specific indication, use the Correlation Web window where a bright red lines show up between any pair of channels that become out of phase correlation.

Other tools useful to evaluate fleeting moments within an immersive audio mix easily missed, are Frequency Haze and Location Haze. Frequency Haze measures the frequency content across the surround panorama while Location Haze tracks its energy distribution. These two displays indicate hot spots or buildups not necessarily or immediately heard in the mix room.

Full spectrum FFT analysis can be a combined view of all channels together or in divided into specified colored-coded groups. For example, actually see whenever the LFE channel is masking the low frequencies of the deep male voiceover talent! Finally, the incorporated True Peak Meter provides a True Peak level measurement for each channel. Halo Vision can be customized, re-arranged and resized to suit any specific workflow, making it perfect for a broad spectrum of immersive sound projects, from music to film.
