The DS-00 is ideally suited to live to air mixing with its straightforward layout and channel strip on-screen displays. The optional broadcast kit brings with it all the key features and functionality required in modern analogue and digital broadcast.

A dedicated mix minus output is available on 96 channels, with a direct talk-to-output and the ability to source the buss from one of four independent mix minus busses. A subtractive buss mix minus is also featured on every buss output.

Soloing options include back stop PFL and auto PFL, switched per channel, with a dedicated PFL output.

A GPO card can be added to provide fader starts, machine starts and red light ons. GPI options are also available for external contacts to trigger events on the console. These could be simple cough switches or more comprehensive audio-follow-video functionality.

Redundancy on the system is not only possible for power supplies, but also for the whole DSP engine. It is possible to shadow two DS-00 consoles in parallel; each console can control the same audio, and if one console fails, everything is instantly switched within one sample to the second console. This kind of security has never been possible at this price point.

Safetracs® is built in, enabling a full work surface restart without loss of audio, the console restarting to within a quarter frame of its previous status using NVRAM.
