One company is gearing up for IBC 2022 by preparing to show off the latest workflow advancements to its large-scale broadcast production platform, marketed as “System T.”
The Solid Stage Logic offering is designed for on-premises and remote audio production for news, sports and live production.
“The latest TE1 & TE2 Tempest Engines featuring scalable Pay-As-You-Go DSP licensing offer a wider variety of channel path capacities that align with a broader range of applications and budgets,” SSL notes.
Software licenses for five different processing packs are available, 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.
SSL continues, “With increasing demand for distributed and decentralized collaborative workflows, System T’s architecture provides an agile production platform that can be managed from home, the studio and the venue. Utilizing patented virtualized processing techniques, SSL have now developed a technology Proof of Concept (PoC) that will provide the backbone for future cloud-based solutions offering even more flexibility for remote production.”
Supporting the demand for NGA within broadcast content, System T’s architecture provides processing for multiple audio formats for immersive and three-dimensional audio; channel-based, objects, Ambisonics and binaural. With support for multiple standards and formats including ATSC 3.0, Dolby Atmos, and MPEG-H. A Sennheiser AMBEO partnership adds on-board conversion support for the AMBEO VR Mic, with a 360 transcoder to render to a wide range of multi-channel outputs from 4.0 to 7.1.4.
System T uses Audinate’s Dante technology stack to provide Dante API managing audio routing of SSL Network I/O and over 3000 third party AoIP products directly in the console GUI, including automatic discovery. SSL AoIP devices enable transmitting and subscribing to ST 2110 or AES67 streams on the same Dante interface, opening up interoperability to many more devices including IP video systems.
SSL will also be showcasing a range of production tools for content creation, post and audio production, featuring advanced DAW integration and control — including UF8, UC1, the new THE BUS+ analogue processor and essential SSL studio, BiG SiX.
