SSL has released ‘Plus’ versions of its C100 and C10 digital broadcast consoles, adding new features and SSL Production Assistant software.
The C100 HD Plus large-format broadcast console is pitched as a ‘complete production solution’ for news and sports in a single configuration. It uses Redundant Blackrock Processor cards in a 2U-high rack to process 588 audio mix paths, with 256 channels of six-band EQ, and 284 channels of dynamics with 512 channels of Madi I/O.
The centre section features a new 10-inch screen, which can be used to display any HDMI video source and enables users to select from a range of metering options. The console can be specified with SSL’s own LMS-16 Loudness Monitoring system to provide comprehensive, highly configurable 16 5.1-channel Loudness and True Peak monitoring. The control surface has also been re-designed to facilitate clearer channel identification in a wider range of lighting conditions.
The C10 HD Plus claims to be the world’s most powerful compact digital broadcast console. With frame sizes from 16 to 48 faders, the self-contained fanless console can be built into vans for ENG operations, used in network scale sports productions or for all-round production demands in mid-scale broadcast facilities. Plus features include the Blackrock Processor card, offering 216 audio paths, with 160 channels of six-band EQ, and 188 channels of dynamics with 512 channels of integrated Madi I/O. The C10 HD Plus also features a redesigned fader panel colour scheme.
The standard configuration of both consoles includes the complete portfolio of SSL’s Production Assistant applications, which help streamline broadcast production by automating and integrating key production tasks. Dialogue Automix; 5.1 Upmix; Production Automation Interfacing; DAW Control and SSL’s integrated audio spot playout system, C-Play are all standard features.
System options include a scalable 48-port Madi router for multiple console installations and large-scale I/O support with external control from VSM and other third party controllers, TCP/IP-based Networked audio via the SSL Madi Bridge and LMS-16 multi-stream Loudness Metering.
