Solid State Logic has launched System T Cloud, supporting virtualised audio mixing for live-to-air broadcast.
Cloud-based or ‘virtualised’ audio processing brings substantial benefits to broadcasters and service providers, reducing operational costs by reducing physical hardware onsite, and making more efficient use of idle resource capacity. The ability to readily manage multiple live events in various geographical locations from a single control room reduces travel and lowers the carbon footprint of production operations.
Over the past two years, SSL and partner Audiotonix company Calrec have worked with leading broadcasters to gain insights into their production needs, particularly in harnessing cloud-based processing and virtualised control.
Through a series of Proof-of-Concept (PoC) events, encompassing both shadow and live-to-air productions, SSL and Calrec have co-developed virtualised DSP capabilities.
System T Cloud provides up to 256 processing paths, supporting stereo, 5.1 and immersive formats, all controlled via hardware or software interfaces from any location. With a fully integrated Dante Connect implementation, the Virtual Tempest Engine offers 256x256 inputs and outputs, with audio routing control managed directly from the UI and stored and recalled with the showfile. Across a distributed production architecture, any combination of hardware and software control interfaces can be used, for a ‘unified operator experience’.
Key features:
- Cloud instances of the Virtual Tempest DSP Engine.
- Cloud instances of the Tempest Control App.
- 256 processing paths.
- Full immersive formats up to 7.1.4 with 9.1.6 monitoring.
- Dante Connect cloud audio transport and routing.
- 256x256 Dante Connect connectivity on Virtual Tempest Engine.
- NDI conversion options.
- Hardware and/or software control positions located anywhere.
- Control positions in multiple locations simultaneously.
