Solid State Logic has announced a software update for its C100 HDS Digital Broadcast Console, bringing ‘new features that introduce significant workflow efficiencies for operators’.

Among v6 features are Function Key Macros, which reduce the number of actions required to achieve specific tasks (by allowing multiple switching functions to be grouped as a Macro and then actioned via soft keys, GPIs and fader functions).

HyperRoute allows operators to use a source and destination group-based approach with operation from the control surface, rather than a computer. The function introduces an additional destination-based routing structure, which displays destination source assignments without having to re-navigate through the source>destination path.

New Assignable Delay Modules make integrating a wider range of external sources into live-to-air feeds quicker and easier. A total of 32 of the 64 available delays can now be routed anywhere, including to aux and monitor inserts, or external I/O destinations that pick up internal or external sources as inputs.

Control Surface Screen Saver extends the operational life of the console control surface by switching off all of the OLEDs and screens when not in use.

A new Automix Overide function adds the option to automatically close the pre-fader feed to the Dialogue Automix system when the participants channel fader is closed.

‘The C100 is a mature, proven product that continues to exceed the expectations of broadcasters around the world,’ says SSL CEO, Piers Plaskitt. ‘This software release introduces some significant features that will further improve the speed and efficiency with which engineers can operate. SSL is always listening to its clients and is involved in a process of continual development. The result is a superb broadcast production platform with an incredibly deep feature set that operators love.’

The v6 Software update is available now.
