Outline announces the launch of Newton, making its debut at the forthcoming Prolight + Sound expo in Frankfurt (April 4th-7th).
Newton is a full-featured, FPGA-based multimedia nucleus offering technology convergence for audio-visual systems. In addition to loudspeaker system control facilities it additionally offers media conversion, sync and clock management plus audio distribution with networking capability, along with a high potential i/o count (up to 216 in both directions simultaneously).
Newton also features several innovations that solve common real-world problems. As standard it is fitted with analog, AES, MADI optical, MADI coaxial and Dante inputs and outputs, which can be freely mixed and matched to suit the application.
Further, it has the unique ability to simultaneously manage multiple clocks from different sources: this means that several non-synchronized digital protocols can be connected to Newton without affecting the phase coherence of the audio outputs. At a point where systems convergence and integration is more important than ever, this feature is set to make life a great deal easier for many professional users globally.
Newton is also equipped for the most mission-critical applications in terms of backup strategies – for example, Newton features dual redundant internal power supplies with separate AC inlets. It can also be configured to use different types of input as ‘main’ and ‘backup’ with auto-switchover in the event of failure, as a safety net for televised events and similar applications.
Newton will be available in three hardware versions with differing combinations of digital and analog connections.
Atendees are invited to attend detailed technical presentations throughout Prolight + Sound. Book your place at one of them by visiting the link below.
