At IBC 2022, Calrec will run multiple independent consoles from a fully redundant pair of ImPulse IP cores, including physical control surfaces and headless consoles running Calrec Assist on a PC.
According to Calrec, ImPulse is the “most powerful DSP (digital signal processing) engine on the planet” and has native SMPTE 2110 connectivity. It is compatible with the Calrec Assist web interface, as well as Calrec’s Apollo and Artemis consoles, to provide a simple upgrade path for existing Calrec customers moving to an IP domain.
Providing 3D immersive path widths and panning for next-generation audio with height and 3D pan controls, flexible panning and downmixing built-in, ImPulse also allows up to four independent mixing environments to run from a single core, wherever in the world it is located, and each independent mixer can access up to 1458 paths.
At booth 8.B57, Calrec will also debut Type R, a mixing console designed to allow customers to take advantage of distributed production and flexible workflows. Its integrated native IP core provides virtual working practices and integration with station automation systems like Ross Overdrive, Sony ELC and Grass Valley Ignite.
Type R can provide fully automated programming with real-time adjustment of external factors via a standard web browser, and its small and highly portable hardware elements can be quickly added if required.
