Ross Video Certifies Euphonix Audio Integration

Iroquois, ON Canada – August 6, 2008 – Ross Video announced today the certification of Euphonix Inc.’s implementation of the Ross Audio Protocol (RAP). With this integration, Euphonix System 5-B, System 5-BP and Max Air audio mixer consoles can be managed from any Ross Video Vision QMD/X, Vision MD/X or Synergy MD production switcher.

“The convenience and power of Ross switchers continues to increase with every partner that implements support for RAP,“ said David Ross, CEO. “The addition of a leading manufacturer of large format digital audio mixing consoles such as Euphonix demonstrates the value of the protocol as well as increases the operational productivity of our joint customers.”

Using the Protocol, operators of Ross switchers can execute functions such as setting Euphonix fader level, turn fader on/off; set pan position, pre-fade listen (PFL) on/off and solo on/off. RAP integration is available in all latest release Euphonix System 5-B, System 5-BP and Max Air consoles. This optional software upgrade requires no additional hardware and enables external control of all channel faders, on/off switches, pans, and PFL. The feature can be enabled or disabled locally on the fly to allow seamless transitions between audio-follow-video functionality and manual operation.

In some environments, audio-follow-video is used to complement an audio operator. Transitions and set show segments are automated while an audio operator is required to mix complex segments such as live bands. Through Euphonix's flexible control surface architecture, channels that have been designated for control by Ross switchers may be hidden from the surface. An audio operator therefore has access to all console faders while the video production switcher simultaneously controls other console resources in the background.

“Ross has tested and validated all aspects of the Euphonix implementation of RAP,” said David Ross. “We know that this integration will be greatly appreciated by many existing and future customers.”
