Technical Data

Panel

  • Modular design with up to 40 faders (100mm, motorised)
  • Operation possible with multiple operating layers (multi-layer)
  • 3 operating panel variants for different applications
  • Modules for building into desk, freely placeable (CAN wiring)
  • Panel extendible with additional control panels and VisTool touch screen software

 

System core

  • Modular plug-in card system based on the DALLIS I/O system (STAR² architecture)
  • Central master board with integrated control system and signal processing (redundantly designed as an option)
  • Integrated matrix with up to 384 inputs and outputs (non-blocking)
  • PC-independent and fan-free operation
  • Optional redundant power supply

 

Signal processing

  • 40 channels (mono or stereo, surround, depending on the available resources) with Input Gain
  • Central master board with integrated control system and signal processing (optional with redundant design)
  • Pan/Balance, Direct Out and Insert
  • 48 equalisers: 3 fully parametric bands and 2 filters (mono*)
  • 14 dynamic units: gate, expander, compressor (mono or stereo use)
  • 14 limiters (mono or stereo)
  • 24 delays: up to 340ms with switchable units: meter, milliseconds, frames (mono*)
  • 48 summing buses (mono*, incl. main 1, 2 and PFL, second PFL possible)
  • 30 mini-mixers ( 2 x 2 mixers for monitoring, stereo to mono, etc.)
  • Optional: dynamically assigned signal processing (EQ, DYN, LIM) for 40 stereo channels via additional masterboard

 (*Stereo coupling possible)

 

Interfaces

  • Analog Mic/Line (transformer or el. balanced)
  • Headset (incl. VCA interface)
  • AES/EBU (AES3) with and without sampling rate converter (SRC)
  • ADAT® (ADAT® is a registered trademark of Alesis, LLC and is used here under license).
  • HD/SD SDI (Embedded Audio)
  • Serial data transfer (RS232, RS422, MIDI)
  • GPIO (optocouplers, relays, VCA
  • Optional up to 4 MADI ports on the masterboard (IP codec, RAVENNA Audio over IP option; available soon)

 

Synchronisation

  • Wordclock input and internal generator, optional via MADI
  • Supported sample rates 48 kHz and 44.1 kHz (depending on motherboard)

 

Control

  • 2 possible PFL buses
  • Integrated mix-minus/conference logic
  • Surround sources and buses in the formats 5.1 or 5.1+2 (simulcast production of surround and stereo)
  • Freely programmable logic core (redlight, faderstart, program switch, T/B integration, etc.)
  • Serial interface for interaction with radio automation systems (zirkon operation mode)
  • Serial interface for matrix control (Nova17 operation mode)
  • Optional MIDI interface for interaction with audio workstations (HUI protocol e. g. for ProTools™
  • Remote control of external Lawo matrices possible (e. g. source selection)
  • Optional control via touch screen (VisTool)
  • Optional graphic matrix control (NovaConnect)

 

Configuration and maintenance

  • Software for system configuration and logic programming
