The series supports a wide range of inputs including ST 2110, 2xSDI up to 12G or MADI, 2xSFP for SDI over fiber, AES, balanced analog audio, and GPI for automation, and external redundant power supplies for reliability. An efficient Class-D amplifier with DSP and specially selected speaker components deliver clear, dynamic sound, and control can also be achieved through a web interface. Additional features include a live video thumbnail and SDI output for monitoring.
