DiGiCo SD10T: “Powers of Ten explained...”

The SD Ten Theatre software upgrade brings many powerful features to the SD Ten platform, providing you with the essential tools for programming and running a theatre production.
 
Expanding on the standard processing capabilities, the Theatre software adds the powerful Auto Update system to aid cue programming, Channel Aliases, the new Players update function and matrix nodal delays.
 
When making cue-to-cue changes, the Auto Update system provides an incredible level of control, updating changes to channel parameters across all the cues automatically. When channel settings need to be different due to a change of costume or character, the Aliases easily take care of correctly updating each set of channel parameters.  So updates made to one character or costume – for example an EQ change – only affect that Alias, leaving the other Aliases unchanged.
 
When multiple actors are playing the same role, the Players feature takes care of populating the show with that person’s unique channel settings – their EQ, filters, dynamics, etc.  All of the careful programming of Aliases and cue-to-cue changes are retained, just updated with the new actor specific settings.
 
VCA programming becomes a breeze using Channel Sets, allowing easy allocation of groups of channels – for instance, members of the chorus or the band.  Since most theatrical productions use distributed loudspeaker systems, the addition of matrix nodal delays provides sound designers with all the control they need. With up to 1.3 seconds of delay available per node and individually recallable per cue, this allows accurate control over audio placement and time alignment.
 
This powerful toolset complements the standard high quality, efficient workflow processes that are built into every SD Ten, giving you the tools you need to get the job done in a logical and methodical manner, allowing more time to concentrate on being creative.

Scratching the surface

There are two versions of the SD10T: a 37-channel version, which boasts three banks of 12 motorised faders and one master fader; and the SD10-24, which has all the same power and functionality but in a smaller frame comprising 24 main channel faders and a master fader.

SD10T features three banks of 12 motorised faders and one master fader, each of which benefits from its own high resolution LED bar graph meter. In the centre of the worksurface sits the familiar 15-inch backlit colour-keyed TFT touch screen, home of the console's super-intuitive control interface.

The sheer intelligence of the SD10T means even the most complex of tasks become quick and easy: engineers can recall or save presets on the channel strip; and recall or save snapshots using the master screen or dedicated switches on the console. In addition, special functions can be assigned and accessed instantly via the console's 40 Smart Key Macros (accessible via four layers of 10 RGB backlit keys) at the push of a button. It really is that simple.

What's under the hood?

The SD10T boasts 96 processing channels (12 of these are Flexi Channels, configurable as either mono or stereo) at 48kHz/96kHz, which is the equivalent of 108 channels of full DSP processing.

Standard channel processing, whether inputs or outputs, includes Channel Delay, Single and Multi Channel Presets, Dual insert points, Hi- and Lo-pass filters @ 24dB/octave, four-band parametric EQ with band curve selection, DiGiCo's DYN 1 (Compressor, De-esser or assignable Multi Channel Compressor) and DYN 2 (Gate, Compressor or Ducker).

The console also benefits from 16 Dynamic EQ processors, all of which can be assigned to any of the input or output channels. These powerful processors offer Dynamic processing on each of the four standard parametric bands, plus there are also 16 assignable Multiband Compressors and 16 assignable DiGiTubes; and no matter how the console is set up, the user won't lose any resources, as all channels are equipped to provide the same high quality signal path and feature set.

The master section incorporates 24 gangable 32-band graphic EQs, 16 stereo effects (selectable from a palette of 33), and 12 control groups (VCAs); and using snapshots, engineers can now switch between complete configurations in any live environment easier than ever before, be it at rehearsals, during system setup, or even at a show.

We've included 48 busses, which can be configured as 48 mono or 24 stereo groups / auxiliary busses or anywhere in between; and in addition to these busses, for further configurability, we've provided a 16 x 16 output matrix, dual solo busses, and a Master buss. Essentially, users have the equivalent of 71 busses of DSP at their disposal.

Unlike all other digital console manufacturers, you don't lose Aux or Group Busses when using the Matrix as they are in addition, including the Master buss.

I/O

At the rear of the SD10T, there is an abundance of local I/O: eight mic inputs, eight line inputs, eight mono AES I/O, two MADI connections with redundant cabling connections; and 16 GPI and GPO connections with the option to expand to 32 GPI and GPO.

The SD10T also works seamlessly with the DiGiCo SD-Rack, which delivers up to 192kHz high resolution analogue conversion. This opens the door to a wealth of interfacing options and provides the user with even further flexibility: when fitted with the optional Optocore interface, up to 14 SD-Racks and five redundant engined consoles can connect to one optical loop, which means a massive 1152 I/O connections are achievable (56 inputs and 56 outputs per SD-Rack).

There is also a factory fit Optocore option which allows for connectivity to all DiGiCo racks and consoles in a redundant loop.

In addition, there is an optional DiGiCo SoundGrid module which, when linked to an external PC server such as SoundGrid or DiGiGrid, provides the user with instant access to 16 fully integrated low-latency Waves stereo Multi Racks, each with the ability to have up to eight plugins per rack.  That's 64 I/O - and as you'd expect from DiGiCo, this is all additional I/O.

All Waves compatible plugins are pre-loaded, and as this is integral within the console, you have the added advantage of touch screen control; and all shapshots and session files are saved within the console.
