Solid State Logic unveils C10 HD digital console with video integration

At NAB show 2009, Las Vegas, Booth #N4031, Solid State Logic (SSL) launched its new C10 HD Digital Broadcast Audio Console. The C10 HD combines reliability and performance for a wide range of on-air applications, with intelligently simplified design, and operation. “The C10 HD brings an unprecedented combination of size, price and performance to the broadcast console market,” says Steve Zaretsky, Vice President of Broadcast, SSL, Inc. “The C10 HD benefits from the world-wide success of the C100 HD console, offering all of the robustness along with SSL’s renowned signal processing, in an intuitive user interface, designed for the smaller budget broadcast market.”
The C10 HD console integrates all DSP signal processing, and operating hardware into a convection-cooled control surface. Full processing redundancy, also within the console surface, is available as an option. The console comes in two frame sizes – 24+8 and 32+8 – with scalable DSP and I/O options. The simple control surface layout is complimented by a clear graphical overview of all signals, augmented with SSL’s Eyeconix feature that presents thumbnail pictures of sources to be displayed for fast visual recognition and navigation.
The C10 offers four access levels to the console’s features – Admin, Certified, Express and Lockdown – to provide the appropriate functionality to engineers and staff with different mixing skill levels. The C10 HD also offers a sophisticated dialogue ‘auto-mix’ engine that automatically balances the individual voices, overall volume and ambient noise of a ‘talking heads’ discussion, with minimal operator setup or intervention, thus optimizing the audio mix and avoiding ‘up-cuts’ and missed cues.
The C10 HD provides the same full 5.1 surround mixing capabilities as the C100 HD along with a new 5.1 UpMix algorithm that generates surround imaging from stereo sources. This will allow you to match your facility’s broadcast to other 5.1 material from a network feed or create 5.1 elements from existing stereo material.
The system is compatible with the C100 HD and MORSE products, allowing for integration within a large facility and providing scalable and arbitrated resource sharing.
Solid State Logic also announces a partnership with Ross Video to fully integrate the Ross OverDrive Production Control System, used to control video and audio components in a broadcast environment, with the C10 HD Digital Broadcast Audio Console. This strategic integration delivers essential control of the C10 HD fader, channel on/off and pan operations to the OverDrive system, increasing production workflow through pre-programmed automation functions, resulting in reduced engineering time on task.
