Calrec celebrates 60 years with a trio of major new products that keep the broadcast industry connected
Built on the same multi award-winning technology that powers Calrec’s established Argo platform, the new Argo M brings the exact same feature set and operational familiarity as the larger Argo Q and Argo S consoles in a compact 24- or 36-fader footprint. Designed for small to medium applications and adopting the same “everything anywhere” approach, Argo M is a plug-and-play SMPTE 2110 native console.
Following its development preview at NAB, the ImPulse V cloud-based DSP processing core provides a virtualised Calrec audio mixing engine in a cloud native AWS environment. Leveraging a patented x86 CPU optimal core processing (OCP) technology to operate in a virtualised Linux environment, ImPulseV is optimised for low latency throughput, providing real-time responsive, efficient and deterministic audio processing, control, routing and mixing. With no requirement to buy into new control architecture, ImPulseV uses the same interfaces that Calrec customers are already familiar with. Impulse V supports direct surface connections from Calrec Argo platform products: Argo Q, Argo S and Argo M as well as the Calrec Assist web UI. In addition, True Control 2.0 can be used to control Impulse V from any True Control 2.0 enabled console: Argo M, Argo S, Argo Q and Type R.
Calrec’s True Control 2.0 builds on Calrec’s RP1 True Control implementation to provide expanded levels of control in two key areas.
