Studer by HARMAN today announced the new Glacier Series of customizable
audio control surfaces, enabling broadcast and production facilities to adapt
to a variety of applications and enhance overall efficiency. Two streamlined
modules and an intuitive multi-touch graphical user interface make it easy to address different use cases and deploy the console in various
configurations throughout a facility. The Glacier Series offers forwards and backwards
compatibility with Studer DSP platforms, and brings new levels of control and
versatility to any broadcast environment.
“Today’s on-air and production environments require dynamic
flexibility, but the static physical controls on large consoles often go unused
and take up valuable real estate,” said Richard
Morson, Product Manager, Broadcast, HARMAN Professional Solutions. “The Studer Glacier Series eliminates the constraints of physical
consoles by enabling facilities to deploy customized control surfaces that only
include the necessary controls. Studer Glacier Series provides the flexibility
that facilities need to address continually evolving workflows and
requirements.”
The Studer Glacier Series includes two highly simplified
physical surfaces that provide streamlined controls for live operation. The
Central Screen Module features a vibrant display for assigning and accessing graphical
user interface controls. The Fader Vistonics Module provides simplified tactile
control for quick multitasking and features Studer FaderGlow for easy function
or channel identification. Each module is a self-contained unit that connects
to the Studer DSP Core via TCP/IP. Multiple modules can be connected together
to create versatile, customized surfaces that fit any use case.
All other controls are provided virtually via the intuitive
multi-touch graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI can be
personalized to match the technical requirements of each user. More technical
users can view as many detailed controls as they wish, while the less
experienced can create simpler interfaces with only the functions and controls
they need. This streamlines operation and reduces visual clutter during
time-sensitive situations. The GUI also hosts comprehensive control interfaces
for additional studio equipment, including broadcast automation, codec
management, content management systems and more.
The Glacier Series also features forwards and backwards
compatibility with Studer SCore Live and the latest Infinity Core DSP
platforms.
