IBC2023: Solid State Logic enhances next-gen content production with System T’s immersive audio toolkit
Using System T’s flagship S500m large-format modular console, paired with a 5.1.4 monitoring system, SSL will demonstrate the latest features of its immersive audio production toolkit for live-to-air broadcast and music production applications at IBC2023.
“We look forward to welcoming clients and partners once again to IBC,” commented Berny Carpenter, broadcast product manager, SSL. “The latest developments to System T’s immersive production toolkit keep the platform at the forefront of next-gen content production technology. The dedicated immersive feature set significantly enhances immersive audio production for everyone.”
The System T immersive production toolkit features object and channel-based immersive workflows; immersive channel and bus formats with integrated XYZ and rotational Theta 3D panning; and a full monitoring section including formats up to 9.1.6. It also offers control of the Dolby Atmos Music Panner Plug-In; intelligent immersive up/downmixing functionality; and a comprehensive range of immersive effects including delay, dynamics, EQ, modulation and more — all in up to 7.1.4 channel formats.
Solid State Logic has also successfully completed a proof-of-concept initiative for running Tempest Engine DSP in virtualised and public cloud environments. The virtual engine can be used with any System T surface or software control instance. The company will debut the next steps in virtual control solutions for medium and large-scale broadcast production at IBC.
Available in a range of sizes from 16 to 48 faders, SSL’s compact S300 surface will also be in attendance. An ideal control solution for small to medium broadcasters and OB providers, or as a backup console for larger facilities, the S300 range delivers the full feature set of System T. It provides the same graphical user interface and DSP capacity options as the larger S500 models for a unified operator experience across the entire range.
