 NEW! MERGING TECHNOLOGIES ISIS REMOTE CONTROL

 

Isis offers a fully user-definable tactile remote control surface for Pyramix editing, recording and mixing functions. Connected to Pyramix and/or VCube via Ethernet Isis uses Merging's OASIS control protocol to give a very high resolution and high-speed communication to all functions.

The main Isis Remote Controller has dedicated keys for machine control, jog/shuttle and jog-wheel editing and the large LCD display offers 12 user-definable and multi-functional keys, which can be soft-labelled to give any number of user specific functions. All keys are completely user software assignable for total control.

The main unit also has twenty four additional user-definable keys across two layers that can be used as 48 direct access solo/mute/track arming keys, locators, cue triggers or any other function you choose. The high quality 100mm touch sensitive moving fader and rotary controls can be assigned to any mixer channel with dedicated Mute, Solo, Automation Read/Write functionality.

For more advanced mixer control Isis has an optional Fader Expansion unit with a further 8 touch sensitive moving faders and rotary controls each with dedicated Solo, Mute and Read/Write automation keys. The fader unit also has a range of control banks that can layer through large channel configurations as well as preset keys for custom mixer arrangements. The Isis Fader Expansion unit connects to the master Isis unit via local RS-232 serial communication.

 EUPHONIX

 

Integrated DAW Controller - High Speed Ethernet Control of Pyramix via the OASIS Control Protocol

The System 5-MC is a DAW Controller with a difference - a big difference. Based upon the Euphonix System 5 control surface design the System 5-MC tightly integrates via Ethernet with Pyramix via the OASIS protocol. The MC controller is at the heart of the System 5-MC with 56 SmartSwitches, twin joysticks and 8 soft knobs for plug-in control together with a full professional software based monitor matrix. The control surface can be fitted with 8-48 channel strips each with long throw motorized fader, 8 knobs and a high resolution TFT screen for displaying metering, EQ and pan curves and channel designations. The System 5-MC is a very powerful and flexible recording, editing and mixing system that is priced in line with other large format controllers.

 SMARTAV

 

The Smart Console

  
The Smart Console, from Smart AV, comes in three sizes, is highly modular and features up to 24 faders and control of up to 288 channels.

Smart Consoles utilize ARC Technology, a radically different interface concept based on a detailed study of mixing ergonomics and is designed to make controlling large numbers of channels fast, flexible and intuitive.

The revolutionary ARC is not just a meter bridge, but features touch sensitive strips, allowing users to select channels to the surface, or apply functions to channels without having to resort to bank switching or a complex menu system.

Control of Pyramix is done through the Oasis Protocol and is a tight and reliable implementation offering full channel strip control. The optional Post Panel features 95 user definable buttons and a jog wheel allowing mouse-less track selection and editing operations from the mix position.

 HARRISON

 

Harrison GLW – Ikis Direct Protocol supporting Oasis

IKISdirect™ allows Harrison users to map and control the channels of various DAWs directly to the console surface as profile/layers in addition to controlling channels from the console engine. For example: Harrison’s IKIS Control Platform will interface directly with Merging’s own ‘OASIS’ (Open Audio System Integration Solution) protocol, allowing tracks in Pyramix to be brought up onto the Harrison console surface for fader, switch, and knob control with real-time metering and display of parameters. The integration will also include remote control of record and monitoring features. Harrison’s unique Profile feature allows on-the-fly configuration intermixing DAW control strips among regular console channels. Consoles fitted with Harrison’s new PreView™ Waveform displays will present in-line waveforms of DAW

 YAMAHA

 

DM2000, DM1000, 02R96, 01V96

  
As part of the new features of Pyramix Version 4.2 we are now offering support to Yamaha DM2000, DM1000, 02R96 & 01V96  Digital Mixing Consoles for use with Pyramix. These can control and be controlled by Pyramix Virtual Studio using the optional Remote Control Midi HUI protocol (PSO-RCT-HUI).

Faders and On, Solo, Select and Mute buttons can address Pyramix parameters on up to 5 layers and 96 channels. Rotary Encoders add assignments to 7 global functions, with 8 specific indexes. Any given strip can be cloned to all following strips. While the easy to use Auto-Mapping function directly addresses up to 13 parameters per strip, along with all transport, track arming, and jog/shuttle functions.

Yamaha Digital consoles and Pyramix can also exchange digital audio via MADI, AES-EBU, TDIF and/or ADAT add-on cards, on up to 96 channels.

 SONY

 

DMX-R100  

Pyramix, with its Midi Remote Control (PSO-RCTR) option installed, tightly integrates with Sony’s DMX-R100 Digital Mixing Console. Channel Faders, Master Faders, AUX Master Faders, Channel Cuts, Aux Return 1 - 6 Cuts and the channel strip Pan Rotary Encoders can address Pyramix parameters on up to 3 layers and 48 channels. Transport, Locate, Track Arming and jog/shuttle functions are also supported. The DMX-R100 will also nicely exchange multi channel audio data with Pyramix when the optional MTBK-R109 MADI interface is installed.

MTBK-R109

MTBK-R109 is a dedicated interface for the Sony DMX-R100 that gives the console a unique multi-channel MADI interface offering 48 channels of 24bit/48kHz or 24 channels of 24bit/96kHz simultaneous I/O directly between Pyramix Virtual Studio or any other MADI compatible unit, with both coaxial or optical connections.
Two such MADI interfaces may also be used to link two DMX-R100 together, in a master/slave configuration thereby enhancing the mixing capability to a total of 96 channels.
The MTBK-R109 MADI card and Merging’s own Mykerinos 56/64ch MADIC (coaxial) or MADIO (optical) daughter cards with multi-card capability offer a very compact and cost effective high-channel-count solution.
