BBC Television purchases 7 Large 14 channel ADD8000 series audio mixers
The need for simple analogue look alike digital audio mixers for a series of Linear edit suites which are used in Sports and News editing applications. The areas are used in quick turn round programmes where speed is the essence. The desks were chosen because all the mixers facilities are active and available
The ADD8000 digital post-production mixer is the latest addition to the popular and highly specified ADD Series of digital broadcast consoles.
Designed to meet the specific demands of audio post-production in a video editing environment, this fourteen channel console provides a faster, simpler and more intuitive control surface than any of the general-purpose assignable digital consoles currently on the market.
A number of specialist post-production facilities are incorporated in the ADD8000 such as two assignable equalisers, stereo width controls, M/S decoding, and fader overpress PFL on every channel.
The console also provides comprehensive channel routing and two programme outputs plus a stereo auxiliary output, switchable pre or post fade. Serial data or tally protocols from a video edit controller can be used to control automated crossfading and record/rehearse switching, for seamless integration within the editing suite.
