BVE 07, CABSAT 07: Calrec To Show Off New Brio Console

Calrec plans to show off its audio-product portfolio, including its new Brio console, at BVE 2017 and CABSAT 2017. According to the company, Brio is the most powerful and compact digital broadcast audio console in its class, with a comprehensive broadcast feature set that supports a wider breadth of broadcasters.

The smallest in Calrec's Bluefin2 family, Brio is only 892 millimeters wide, and the dual-layer, 36-fader surface provides more faders in a given footprint than any other audio broadcast console.

Based on Calrec's 20 years of digital development, Brio's uncluttered, compact, and configurable surface gives instant access to a large number of audio paths while an intuitive 15.6-inch HD touch-screen UI provides quick access to more in-depth control. A bank of illuminating hardware rotary controls gives fast and precise control over parameters displayed in the touch-screen UI.

Brio is entirely self-contained, with analogue and digital I/O and GPIO built into the surface. Additional expansion I/O slots allow for further I/O integration, and fitting an available Hydra2 module makes it possible to connect to and share audio over Calrec's Hydra2 network.

Says International Sales Manager Jim Green about BVE 2017, As the U.K.'s number one gathering for the broadcast industry, BVE is the perfect forum for us to introduce our new Brio and RP1 solutions to the British market. We always look forward to BVE because it offers an ideal atmosphere for us to showcase our solutions and spend quality time with prospects and partners.

Anthony Harrison, International Sales Manager, spoke about CABSAT 2017, The Middle Eastern, African, and South Asian broadcast markets are growing rapidly and providing exciting new opportunities for Calrec solutions. That's why CABSAT is such an important show for Calrec. It's a perfect venue for us to strengthen customer, operator, and partner relationships in those regions and also to highlight our all-new Brio and RP1 solutions.

RP1 Remote Production Unit

Calrec's RP1 remote production unit is a unique live-broadcast product that directly addresses an increasingly more prevalent requirement for high-quality content from remote locations.

Remote production offers the ability to capture a broader range of live events, such as sports, news, or regional music festivals. Broadcasters cannot always justify the time or expense of sending a dedicated outside broadcast truck and a team of skilled on-site operators for these niche events, but they must always ensure that the same high broadcast standards are met.

Calrec's new RP1 remote production engine is a 2U core that contains integrated, FPGA-based DSP, which enables a console surface at another facility to control all mixing functionality. The RP1 core manages all of the processing for IFB routing and remote monitor mixes, and it does so locally with no latency. This level of integration and remote control makes it simple for any remote mix engineer to set up IFB mixes and eradicates any delay for remote listeners or presenters.

The RP1 core quickly embeds audio into existing video-transport mechanisms, while its modular I/O backbone accepts any of Calrec's I/O cards. This versatility means the RP1 can connect via analogue, AES, MADI, SDI, and the latest AoIP solutions from AES67, Ravenna, Dante, and SMPTE 2022.
