Studer released Route 6000 routing and processing system
At the NAB in Las Vegas Studer introduced the Route 6000 processing and
routing system. Based upon the high-efficiency SCore Live DSP core and
comprehensive D21m I/O system, the Route 6000 system can accommodate up
to 1728x1728 inputs and outputs. The main DSP Core is highly suited to space-conscious installations. Equipped with an internal D21m I/O system with up to 192 inputs and outputs, it takes up only 6U of rack space, while multiple cores are simply interconnected using CAT5 tie lines.
Since
the system is fully modular, there is a wide variety of input and
output formats (Mic, Line, AES/EBU, MADI, ADAT, TDIF, SDI and Dolby®E),
which can be combined.
Being based on these proven platforms means that Studer
offers a highly scaleable system, allowing the choice of DSP size and
I/O capacity needed for a specific system, which can be easily expanded
at a later date. The DSP core allows the insertion of assignable audio
processes consisting of compressors, limiters, panning, stereo-mono
summing, de-essing, etc. Multiple redundancy options for failsafe
operation, including DSP and host cards as well as all I/O cards and
power supplies, are available. There are also full redundancy solutions
which are based on 2 networked cores.
The Route 6000 is fully integrated with all STUDER
DNET products. It therefore supports networking, I/O sharing, unique
resource handling (e.g. mic inputs), codec management, central Log
Screen, remote configuration, 2 wire / 4 wire routing, etc. Even two
step I/O sharing with control parameters is possible (e.g. Mic gain
control, fader start, red-light etc.).
Open interface protocols are provided to control
the router through most major router control systems (RS422 and
TCP/IP). Therefore sophisticated control systems which support
different hardware or software panels as well as scheduler, GPIO etc.
can easily control the Route 6000.
Studer's proprietary DNET protocol makes all
parameters of all systems available within the TCP/IP network.
Therefore even the graphical configuration tool and the graphical user
interface of the OnAir 3000 can be used to configure and control the
router. Furthermore a specific STUDER graphical router controller, the
Route1000 is available. It also uses the DNET protocol, so remote
access from any point within the network is possible. It is also
possible to switch the controlled routing system.
