Stagetec Goes Platinum
Stagetec's Aurus Platinum console
incorporates a new "platinum" look
for even faster operation, and also
features a new high-definition screen
and touchscreen panel. It comes
loaded with features: such as the
ISOSTEM automatic upmix algorithm;
a crystal-clear matrix mixer; deessers on all channel strips; and the
capacity to be integrated into large
mixing networks and existing studio
setups. Other highlights include major
improvements to Scene automation,
a new Spill function, deep integration
into Stagetec's Nexus digital audio
router, with an expanded network view
and the possibility to embed Nexus
DSP modules into Aurus Platinum's
signal flow.
The second audio mixing console to
reach platinum status is the Crescendo
Platinum. This console has a striking
look that it inherits from its bigger
brother, the Aurus Platinum. The
Crescendo Platinum also provides
expanded input options (A/B, A+B) for
each channel, Scene automation with
colour-coded Scenes, high-resolution
display of Nexus graphics, extended
Mosart control (support for different
cross-fade times), device integration
into Nexus (ISOSTEM stereo-to-5.1

flexibility.

Polaris Evolution
Developed by Salzbrenner, the
Polaris Evolution is an all-new network
audio mixing system that sets a new
standard for addressing 21st-century
mixing requirements. Highly modular
and scalable within minutes, Polaris
Evolution is the first cloud-based
audio processing system that supports
multiple-user scenarios based on a
single DSP. The unique Polaris Scala
DSP allows users to assign resources
to several Access consoles that may
(or may not) be used for completely
different projects.
The system is adaptive; it remembers
your workflow and hence allows for
highly intuitive operation. The user
interface can be freely configured
for each project and/or specific user.
Polaris Evolution's flexible architecture
even extends to its I/O section, which
can be based on Stagetec Nexus
routers or provided by third-party
solutions via MADI and Dante. Entirely
software-based, the modular system
can grow and shrink according to the
project at hand.
New features can be added without
hardware
modifications,
and
audio plug-ins can be installed for
additional flexibility, making this
system future proof.
In addition to a variable number
of Access consoles and View
touchscreens, Polaris Evolution
supports multiple control sources,
including
