SSL Releases V2.3 System T Broadcast Production Platform
Solid State Logic (SSL) has released the latest V2.3 System T broadcast production platform, adding significant benefits to the entire range of System T consoles; S500, S500m, S300 and TCR.
Relied the world over for live broadcast, event space audio, recording and postproduction duties, this latest feature-rich release adds significant enhancements including; DAW control, Immersive audio, Dynamic Automation, Patch Manager CSV files, Access Control, Event Manager, Scene Automation and fully featured on-board FX rack.
Alongside the System T
V2.3 release, the Network I/O V4.0 update includes ST 2110, ST 2059-2
and ST 2022-7 support for all devices, providing standards based AoIP
and Dante technology simultaneously on the same chipsets. This allows
installations to leverage IP networks for both infrastructure and
consoles-based audio routing workflows, without proprietary hardware TDM
routers, and adds support for TSL UMDv5 providing the audio operator
with accurate information about the source currently presented on each
fader.
An additional tone inject on the channel input
provides simple signal path checking, while a new per path talkback
inject for channel and bus direct outputs enhances communications
switching and conferencing. A Backfeed feature with mix minus assignment
places the controls of a Mix Minus return bus directly on the incoming
outside source channel. Greatly simplifying operation for complex
external line control, without the need to navigate to other layers or
other systems. Cue and Auto Cue further simplify communication with
outside and remote sources, greatly reducing the console operator’s
tasks during broadcasts with complex remote feeds.
System T’s
powerful Event Manager provides graphical and user programable macro
functionality for; GPIOs, Console functions, MIDI, AFV, Ember+, User
Keys, Fader starts, and Scene triggers. Expanded for V2.3 this extensive
list of user definable event triggers is joined by path event controls.
Three controls per path provide up to 2400 additional assignable
switches, controllable from the touchscreen or hardware quick controls
above the faders. The console operator can be presented with a single
simple switch, programmed for relevant macros or functions specifically
for that channel. The events system also gains an event tally feature,
driven from a GPI or specific function, user key LEDs can be externally
controlled providing silent visual feedback to the console operator.
V2.3 brings Dante Domain Manager (DDM) login capability
directly into the console software. System T is a routing controller
with direct on console routing control for any Dante enabled device,
providing complete AoIP resource sharing from an audio centric GUI. DDM
integration allows system designers to add a software-based security
layer with; user authentication, defined guest, operator or admin roles,
with complete audit logging. A full stack approach to AoIP technology
integration.
Support for Network I/O Dante HC SRC, plus
SB 32.24 and SB 16.12 SRC capability has been added to facilitate mixed
sample rate or separate clock domain use. Scenarios that requires audio
sharing, without exposing networks to either team can be achieved
directly on the stage boxes or across a high capacity 256 channel
bridge.
A graphical FFT analyser overlay is now
available on the channel and bus, EQ and Filters GUI. Allowing an
engineer to quickly identify problem frequencies, from within the tools
they would use to resolve them. The fixed-point-per-octave analyser has
equal resolution across the entire frequency range, providing high
resolution even at low frequencies. The FX rack instance of FFT analyser
gains a spectrogram view, graphically showing frequency content over
time as a heat map.
V2.3 brings further additions and updates
to the onboard FX rack. A Matrix Mixer summing and level control for
all formats from stereo to 7.1.4, plus 4, 8 and 12 wide versions. This
flexible FX utility can be used for downmixing, level based up mixing,
submixing and PA matrix mixing. As an FX rack module, no processing
power is taken from the channel and bus processing capabilities. The
Dynamic EQ module benefits from a full graphical redesign and additional
functionality including per band threshold trigger function.
T-SOLSA
provides System T control software for standalone computers or
virtualised servers. T-SOLSA is designed for use as an active
remote-control, a training tool, or an offline setup application.
Multiple GUI apps can be shown across multiple screens, V2.3 adds full
screen mode for each app allowing large engineering “dashboard”
capabilities, or feeds into multi viewers for overview and FX rack
metering.
