C100 HD Range brochure - Solid State Logic

Intuitive Touchscreen Controlwww.solid-state-logic.comConsole OverviewScale capacity, not performanceFully Independent - Extremely RobustAround the world, the highest profile broadcastorganisations rely on C100 technology to deliverreliable, sonically superb performance for mono,stereo and surround productions. The C100product range extends from the largest C100 HDconsole capable of the global audience sportsproductions in full surround for HD television, toa compact sister C100 HD-L console designed forlocal audience broadcast productions.Where other systems scale capacity andperformance, the C100 range is different inscaling only capacity to match requirements. Thismeans that performance can be relied on to deliver, whatever the scale ofthe operation. In a world where today’s local news story, is tonight’s globalevent, being able to rely on the ability to match performance and quality atall levels in the broadcast organisation is a key benefit of the C100 range.Ergonomic Freelance-Friendly Interface• Sharing a common layout, in use, the C100 consoles present theoperator with a compact, clear and logical layout, with controls thatassist error-free operation even for infrequent users• The combination of a touchscreen interface with accompanyingdedicated and assignable soft keys present the essential ‘on-line’features at the top level, while keeping system configuration pages outof the operator’s way• The hardware control surface of all the range is familiar and unclutteredeven when handling complex 5.1 set ups• While operation is simple, the feature set is comprehensive, providing allof the reset and configuration benefits associated with digital technologyLive To Air HD 5.1 Ready• All the C100 range providesimultaneous 5.1, stereo and monosignal paths from source throughto destination, with streamlinedrouting and control capability. Thismakes set-up and manipulation ofmultiple 5.1 mixes an intuitive andstraightforward process• Single fader 5.1 mix control simplify surround production, with complete5.1 mixes folded together under a single fader or released ontoadjacent faders• SSL consoles are trusted by audio professionals worldwide to deliver thepristine audio signal path required to meet the demands of HD 5.1 audio• SSL EQ, Filters & Dynamics processing on every channel provides thetools to sculpt perfect 5.1 mixes quickly• A full processing toolkit is retained regardless of mono/stereo/5.1 format• Virus proof proprietary audio and control processing engines, withno reliance upon third party computing platforms• The C100’s processing is designed with the requirements of thebroadcast industry in mind. Its robust construction andintelligent systems monitoring inspire confidence and ensurecontinuous operation• Self-healing DSP has onboard monitoring for fast, fault-tolerantprocessing recovery in under 1/10th second• Redundant power supplies and low power consumption meansimple UPS provision and dual source redundancy with automaticpower source switchover.• Control surfaces reset in seconds without audio interruptionMaintenance friendly• Fast and easy front access to key hardware assemblies, ensuringthat maintenance can be carried out swiftly and effectively withminimum interruption to production• Secure, encrypted NetBridge system provides local and remotediagnostic access over standard IT networks without intrusion in thecontrol room or tying up the control surface• Session templates may be imported and exported across theInternet or on ‘memory card’ media for offline configurationAdvanced Integration, Routing& CommunicationConsole routing & control• The C100’s integral digital routingsystem uses no external computersystems or third partyhardware requirements• Routing to and from I/O and DSPmay be achieved quickly and withgreat flexibility - multiple routesmay be made in one operation• Multichannel (stereo and 5.1)signals may be routed as a singlebundle, or as ‘breakaways’• Two independently configurableoutputs per channel, withsecondary ‘submix source’ input• Simultaneous N-1 feeds andparallel clean/ISO feeds• Flexible matrix for pre- and post-fader processing• Precise Delay adjustment of up to 10 framesper channel for lip-sync correction of video feedsI/O and routing expansion• ‘Mix and match’ I/O cards provideMic, Line, AES/EBU, and MADI I/Ointerface options• Remote stageboxes can be linked viafibre-optic for expanded mic inputsand stage cue feeds• Full remote-control of mic preampsprovides status overview from theC100 control surface• High immunity to interferencevoltages and magnetic fields ensuresthe highest quality in the harshestenvironments.Monitoring & Communications• Four 12-way mini routers provide monitoring options for the numeroustalent, production area and communication mixes that have become astandard requirement in programme creation• Dual independent monitor signal paths for Main (5.1) and Mini(stereo) outputs• 5.1 Monitor insert point with separatestereo return• Integral 5.1 to stereo downmix andmono compatibility format checking• Choice of AFL/PFL on both Main andMini paths• Two independent comms feedsprovide studio monitoring withspeaker muting logic• All switching can be controlledexternally via GPIs or from centresection Soft KeysComprehensive GPI controlNESN Studios, USA• The GPI control options within the C100 range meet a wide range ofpractical integration challenges.
