Solid State Logic IBC2019 Preview

 
S500m Console
Launched earlier this year, IBC will see the first European showing of the new S500m console. With all the flagship features of the System T S500 console in a significantly lighter form factor, the S500m is specifically designed for OB and flypack applications where weight and portability are key concerns. It’s unique modular functionality also lets a console be deployed with or without an extended meter bridge. This allows a complete production system to be easily be transport in a purpose built rack case, providing a console stand, meter bridge shipping storage and two 8RU racks for Tempest Engines and Network I/O. 

Immersive and Next Generation Audio (NGA)
Supporting the demand for NGA within broadcast content, System T’s architecture provides processing for multiple audio formats for immersive and three-dimensional audio; channel-based, objects, Ambisonics and binaural. With support for multiple formats including ATSC 3.0, Dolby Atmos, and MPEG-H, the recent Sennheiser AMBEO partnership now adds on-board conversion support for the AMBEO VR Mic, with a 360 transcoder to render to a wide range of multi-channel outputs from 4.0 to 7.1.4. 

 
Multi-format IP Based I/O
Expanding SSL’s Dante-based IP Network I/O portfolio, the HC Bridge SRC provides 256 bi-directional channels of sample rate conversion for AoIP networks. The HC bridge SRC facilitates connecting audio between devices running at different sample rates or in different clock domains on a Dante (48khz and 96khz), AES67 or ST 2110-30 networks. The two network connections can be physically or virtually separate networks, providing control isolation between two sets of equipment where an “AoIP discovery and control firewall” is required.
