Responding to the broadcast industry's shift to embrace more flexible production platforms, Solid State Logic (SSL) is evolving its comprehensive System T platform at IBC 2026 (stand 8.B45) to embrace a range of software-defined workflows. The company will demonstrate how its System T ecosystem is delivering scale with a range of physical and virtualised user interfaces as part of its software-defined Virtual Tempest Engine (VTE) for deployment across both on-prem and cloud workflows.
Handling up to 256 processing paths and with support for all immersive audio formats, System T's VTE can be located on-prem on a standard COTS server, on public cloud infrastructures, or use a hybrid of both. Delivering the ultimate in scalability it can be accessed from any System T surface, whether that is a virtualised controller on a PC, a compact desktop tile, or a top-of-the-range S500 console.
MXL-Integration Demo
According to SSL Broadcast Product Manager Berny Carpenter, the ability to deploy broadcast audio processing wherever it is needed and provide remote control of that processing from anywhere, positions it perfectly for the industry's transition to more agile, software-defined workflows.
At IBC, SSL is previewing enhancements to VTE's software-based processing engine as part of our commitment to align with the EBU's Dynamic Media Facility (DMF) project, he says. The idea of accessing a shared server stack that can host all the production software a facility needs, with users spinning up whichever tools a given job requires, is a powerful driver for broadcasters focused on reducing costs and maximising their investment to deliver a broader range of content.
The DMF project and the associated Media eXchange Layer (MXL) development aims to solve many of the real-time challenges of moving to software-defined workflows. It vastly reduces compute by enabling containerised software functions from multiple vendors to utilise shared memory to transfer video, audio, and metadata on the same server.
It gives broadcasters the ability to take advantage of best-of-breed technology in the same flexible software stack while retaining the tried and trusted feature set that broadcasters have come to expect from SSL. And all without committing to a one-off investment in processing hardware up front.
Highlighting new and improved automated deployment functionality to streamline software-defined production both in the cloud or on-prem, SSL is inviting visitors to discover how its Virtual Tempest Engine complements MXL. The company will host demonstrations both on its stand in Hall 8 alongside Techex's cloud-native TX Darwin software platform.
VTE
Part of the same DMF-aligned push, but designed for more versatile use cases, SSL's compact VTE also makes its IBC debut. Launched at NAB and delivering the same expansive broadcast features as the wider System T ecosystem, it delivers SSL's lowest entry point to virtualised production. It provides 96 virtualised processing paths and has a range of licencing options to support temporary, variable or event-based productions.
ST 2110
Also making its IBC debut is SSL's Net I/O ST 2110 Bridge, a high-capacity standalone ST 2110 and Dante converter that provides up to 512 channels of conversion in a compact 1RU chassis. With NMOS support and the ability to integrate with any Dante or ST 2110 connected audio console or network, the Net I/O ST 2110 Bridge builds on System T's native IP architecture to allow customers to deploy whatever they need, wherever they need it.
There is no longer any such thing as a standard audio workflow, and the Net I/O ST 2110 Bridge means that users can adapt to any number of flexible deployment options with ease, says Carpenter. It has native ST 2110 connectivity up to 512 channels, and its in-built optional SRC functionality simplifies integration; both networks can be clocked independently, even if the ST 2110 side and Dante side belong to different systems or vendors or are in different facilities.
Solid State Logic at IBC 2026
In addition, SSL will also showcase the wider System T range at IBC, including the lightweight S500m console with redundant TE2 Tempest Engines and native ST 2110 and Dante connectivity. Designed specifically for outside broadcast and heavy-duty fly-pack systems, the S500m is a compact version of SSL's flagship S500 console. Visitors will also be able to get hands-on with a 32-fader S400 control surface as well as the ultra-portable TCA Tour. Designed for use on the road, the TCA Tour is a self-contained 16 fader control frame with integrated onboard I/O and a built in network switch, as well as a mount for a touchscreen and a PC running SSL's Tempest Control App. At IBC it will be connected to System T's TE1 DSP engine as well as an MPL 16-8 stagebox.
The company will also show its full range of Network I/O and the versatile UMD192 portable USB audio interface offering seamless integration across MADI, Dante, and USB.
