New Software Release 4.5 delivers new processing features for both Stage Tec AURUS and CRESCENDO console platforms, including the ability to activate a bypass function for each individual aux VCA.
Another upgrade addresses VCA group hierarchy; specifically, a channel can now be assigned to several VCA groups, and additional groupings can also be made. There are a total of 30 VCA groups to choose from.
Further, the ITU-R 775-3-compliant automatic stereo downmix with level correction is available when routing 5.1 sources to stereo groups.
There’s also now center section access to the internal tone generator, making it possible to configure the consoles even if the NEXUS audio network is not yet connected. This is particularly advantageious for broadcast users (e.g. in OB vans).
In addition, the newly developed M/S decoder is now available automatically on input channels in all Stage Tec consoles. An integrated upmix process enables decoded M/S signals or stereo signals to be mixed automatically to multichannel buses.
