Stage Tec, the Berlin-based audio manufacturer, will present its new fully IP-based AVATUS at the IBC.
Scene automation has been fully implemented with Release 1.6 as an important feature for theatre and live applications.
AVATUS celebrated its German premiere in mid-July at the Konzerthaus Berlin. The new season with AVATUS also begins at the Staatstheater Mainz, the Volksbühne Berlin and the Grand Théâtre de la Ville in Luxembourg. tpc has been working with the IP console in the UHD1 since last year.
Owing to its modular concept, AVATUS is the first mixing console in the world to no longer have a classic central control panel.
Modular, decentralised and yet freely configurable, users can access all parameters at any time.
12 colour-coded faders, two 21″ multi-touch displays, and 48 dual-concentric encoders per unit can be combined to form sizes ranging from 12 to 96 faders. The channel parameters’ colour coding guides the user intuitively through the functions of the mixing console.
On each multi-touch display, audio channels parameters can be controlled in a large detailed view and the monitoring functions or current status of audio channels can be called up. Visual feedback on a wide range of operator actions gives the user confidence and an overview of their work. With its new patented concept of colour coding the faders, Stage Tec supports a fast workflow.
An advantage of AVATUS is that the audio signal processing has been tried and tested many times, because the console uses the familiar DSP core (RMDQ) from AURUS, the company said.
Integrated into a NEXUS network, AVATUS has access to almost unlimited input and output resources of any format and supports all relevant standards – SMPTE 2110, AES67, RAVENNA and DANTE. 128 freely programmable summing buses and up to 800 DSP channels are available.
AVATUS is backwards compatible and enables even long-term customers to migrate from older systems.
The IP networking of the modular surface, the intuitive touch operation and the virtual interface RUI bring further benefits for the customer. AVATUS enables completely new customisation and has generated interest among the broadcast, theatre and live applications industry.
