The producers wanted two separate systems running 24 hours a day, picking up different material which could be selected for the final daily edit. Installed by A&H's national distributor, Audmax, in collaboration with system integrator, Rexfilm, an iDR10 modular MixRack was installed in a studio room managing 32 inputs, and a second iDR10 in the CAR-room managing 24 inputs and 48 outputs. Both MixRacks were connected via ACE to iLive-144 control surfaces located in the sound control room, and fitted with Ethersound to network them together for input sharing. The programme's sound engineers then used iLive Editor to manage both systems.
"iLive was selected for its responsive, simple interface, as well as the system's audio networking possibilities, the availability of a large number of channels, and the system's renowned reliability," says Audmax's Attila Arki.
"The audio networking options meant we did not need lots of analogue cables, while the system offered a new level of flexibility which allowed us to resolve the installation's complex DSP requirements quickly and easily. The EtherSound option enabled the two iLive racks to share inputs, making it possible for us to create 64 channels over a single Cat 5 cable."
