DiGiCo doubles up on power at ISE
with new D2-Rack
Stand 7-K175 at ISE2014 sees UK digital solutions manufacturer DiGiCo introduce its D2-Rack.
Designed to support and expand DiGiCo’s SD Range’s higher sample rate I/O solutions, the D2-Rack comes with either BNC or CAT5 MADI connections, allowing it to be used with a number of DiGiCo consoles or as a stand-alone unit.
By using the latest convertors found in DiGiCo’s SD Range, the D2-Rack offers a more compact, more efficient, more affordable rack solution for connection at either 48kHz or 96kHz with no I/O reduction.
The D2-Rack offers two I/O versions:
· 48 x Mic inputs
· 16 x Line outputs
· 2 x Blank output slots allowing an additional 16 outputs in the owners desired format – Analogue, AES and Aviom
or
· 24 x Mic inputs
· 24 x AES inputs
· 16 x Line outputs
· 2 x Blank output slots allowing an additional 16 outputs in the owners desired format – Analogue, AES and Aviom
The D2 Rack is currently available for use with SD8 and SD9 systems.
SD8 System
The D2-Rack updates your SD8 system with a 96kHz rack option. This allows the user to take advantage of the recent increases in the SD8's Stealth Digital Processing™ with a no compromise approach to 96kHz. A new system will be introduced that includes the SD8 surface with the D2-Rack with a system price advantage.
SD9 System
Following on from the success of the SD9 Rack Pack system DiGiCo is pleased to announce the launch of the SD9 D2-Rack system. This will be available with either rack option and will provide a more cost effective single rack solution.
“Being able to open up the full 96kHz potential of the SD8, SD9 and SD11 with this next generation of I/O conversion is an impressive upgrade,” says DiGiCo managing director James Gordon. “It allows users to get unrivaled audio quality at a total system latency of just over 1ms.”
