At this year’s show, DiGiCo presented more broadcast-specific features for its SD range. Tis includes eight additional Flexi busses for the SD9 and eight Flexi channels for the SD11i and SD11B; support for Optocore DD2, DD4, and X6 R-series
interfaces; Post Fade insert for support of the new Waves Dugan plug-in; the ability to bring AES output into the matrix; and the availability of aux sends on sub-groups on live software.
On show were the top-of- the-line SD7B; the SD10B (featuring multichannel ‘folding’ under a single fader, among other features); the new SD9B, which adds surround capabilities to the standard SD9 ‘live’ system; the compact and powerful SD11B; and the newest addition to the range, the SD5B.
