SIGNAL PROCESSING
Maximum of 96 Input channels, each with Input gain, signal presence indicator, direct out, Insert, fader, Aux send with Pre / Post switching, pan / balance, AutoGain for each mic input
5-parameter equalizer
3 fully-parametric bands plus 2 semi-parametric bands (can also be shelf, high-pass or low-pass filters
Dynamics
gate, expander, compression including side-chain filters, limiter and De-Esser
Maximum of 8 individual AutoMix groups (up to 96 channels each) allow creation of multiple independent mixes
All sources and all busses may be metered onscreen using EBU R128 Loudness Metering and/or PPM
Sync delays of up to 5,300 ms with switchable units (meters, milliseconds, frames)
Up to 80 summing busses depending on license, configurable as Program, Record, Aux, Group, Mix-Minus (clean feed) or General Purpose. A full DSP channel with EQ, Dynamics and Delay functions may be applied to any of these busses (up to 16 stereo or 32 mono busses)
Channels and busses may be grouped into Stereo and 5.1 Surround bundles
STANDARD AUDIO INTERFACES
4 MADI (each 64 channels I/O) with SFP cages (MADI ports 1 / 2 and 3 / 4 can be grouped as redundant interfaces)
