Roland Systems Group is now offering a new Version 2.500 firmware update for S-4000 Series digital snake systems.
The new functionality allows the S-4000H 8 x 32 digital snake head to support samples rates of 48 and 44.1 kHz – in addition to 96 kHz. This enables it to be used in V-Mixing System configurations, especially as an analog breakout box.
In addition, the update provides control of pre-amps of the S-4000S set in REAC Master mode using the S-4000R or S-4000 Remote Control Software (PC/Mac) without the need for slave equipment or the M-48 personal mixers present.
This allows new uses of the digital snake head such as a 40 input front end to a SONAR REAC Recording system – all connected to a PC via a Cat5e/6 cable.
The S-4000 Series was the first digital snake system using the REAC protocol – a low-latency, high-quality digital transport system.
The S-4000 digital snake system Version 2.500 firmware update will be available in mid-February. Visit www.rolandsystemsgroup.com/updates for more specific information.
