Solid State Logic [booth 119 in the AES hall] will demonstrate its latest workflow developments for on-premise and remote audio production for news, sports and live-to-air broadcast at the 2022 NAB Show New York later this month (October 19-20) at the Javits Center.
The company states that it has successfully completed a proof-of-concept initiative for running Tempest Engine DSP in virtualized and public cloud environments. The virtual engine can be used with any System T surface or software control instance.
System T offers a range of options, from large-format modular control surfaces, fixed format mid-sized consoles, rack mount controllers to software running on COTS computer hardware or virtual machines. The technology is designed to help facilitate working from home using off-the-shelf components over the internet.
Physical console surfaces, or software instances running on the user’s own computing hardware can remotely control the console at the facility via a VPN. Software instances can be used with optional physical fader hardware, even at home. Two remote locations can simultaneously connect, with a third position within a facility. Each position has independent fader layouts and GUI displays for collaborative operation when required.
Available with “pay-as-you-go” licensing, new TE1 and TE2 Tempest Engines are designed to enable broadcasters to flexibly scale processing capabilities according to production requirements. For example, expanding audio processing capacity for an immersive NGA broadcast event utilizing Dolby Atmos or MPEG-H.
Software licenses for five different processing packs, defined by the total number of mono All-Paths equivalent channels supported, from 85 to 800, are available to users as perpetual or short-term, time-based rental upgrades. Channel, bus and monitor paths structures up to 7.1.4 are supported, with 3D panning and automatic downmixing.
SSL will also be showcasing the large-format, configurable S500 control surface at NAB NY 22. With its modular design, the S500 can be configured with a range of touchscreen and hardware tiles that can be combined with an optional meter bridge. With connectivity and routing via Dante, AES67 & ST 2110, System T provides a “plug-and-play” AoIP experience with audio routing directly on the network using SSL’s Network IO – on show at NAB NY – or third-party audio devices for full interoperability.
