256 processing paths in the cloud
Leveraging patented x86 CPU optimal core processing (OCP) technology, SSL has virtualised the System T Tempest DSP Engine. The cloud-based Virtual Tempest Engine (VTE) operates within a virtualised Linux environment optimised for low latency throughput, providing real-time, deterministic audio processing and mixing. System T Cloud offers truly flexible capabilities with virtualised processing, control, and audio routing. It provides up to 256 processing paths, including support for stereo, 5.1 and immersive formats, all controlled via hardware or software interfaces from any location. These interfaces are specifically designed for broadcast production and provide a familiar feature set for broadcast audio mixers. VTE provides filters, EQ, dynamics processing, automixing and delays on all channels and buses, plus an inbuilt effect rack. Mix minus, monitoring and talkback features are included in addition to main program buses, stem groups, track buses and auxiliary outputs. Any channel or bus can be mono, stereo, 5.1, 5.1.4 or 7.1.4, providing a full toolkit for immersive productions and Dolby Atmos workflows.
