NTP Technology Ships New
Monitor Control Processor

F

ollowing the introduction at the
AES convention in Los Angeles
in October 2014, NTP Technology
have now in relation to the NAMM
show released the first version of an
analogue and digital monitor control
system based on the pristine hardware
platform of both the DAD AX32 and the
DAD DX32 converter and router matrix
units.
Based on the versatile I/O platform
and matrix functionality on the
DAD products, flexible I/O and
signal routing can be made using
all interfaces of the unit, as well
as a summing processor with 256
inputs and 32 outputs using all of
the available I/O. The new Monitor
Control Processor is configured and
controlled via the DADman software
for both Windows and OS X, which
has the support for the Avid EUCON
control protocol providing a complete
operation from the S6 monitor control
user interface.

NTP Technology has, as an Avid
Connectivity Partner, now provided a
solution for monitor control for the S6,
which takes monitor control to a new
level by providing functionality of both
the Avid XMON and Studio Monitor
Pro in one in the same platform with
various I/O that will easy adapt to
any Pro Tools HD, HDX or HD Native
S6 based hardware environment. This
will enable music and post-production
facilities to benefit from interfacing
both analogue and digital domains
with speaker formats from stereo, 5.1,
7.1 all the way to 64 channel for Dolby
ATMOS.
Highlights of the DAD AX32 and DX32
Based Monitor Control Processor:
*	 Flexible low latency router engine
of the AX32 and DX32 platform
providing an up-to 1024x1024 mono
cross point matrix, and the pristine
DAD A/D and D/A converter interfaces
providing unsurpassed sonic quality;

*	 Assignable Functions for Main and
Alternate speakers in any channel
format layout for any speaker set, for
Monitors and Talkback;
*	 Any number of signal sources
corresponding to the available I/O can
be assigned in any format and can be
switched or summed to the selected
speaker or monitor output, for easy
signal source listening and summing of
multiple Stems;
*	 Folddown is available for down
mixing surround and multichannel
signals to any of the defined speaker
or monitor output formats. More
folddown functions can be defined for
also providing user defined summing
functions;
*	 Fully assignable talkback control
with summing, and configurable
speaker cut or dim;
*	 Control via EUCON 3 from Avid S6,
S3, MC Pro, 5-MC and Artist;

ch. multi channel;
*	 Pristine A/D and D/A conversion
and optional mic pre, configurable up
to 48 channels;
*	 Digital I/O via up to 3 MADI, 8
AES3, Dante and up to 16 3G SDI
embedder/deembedders;
*	 Direct connection to Pro Tools HD /
HDX / HD Native cards;
*	 Fixed 7 sample latency on all
signal paths and 32 bit floating point
summing processing.
