With the latest software version release, Graphite’s internal RAVE audio mixer is better equipped than ever to handle live productions with seriously demanding audio requirements:
Huge channel capacity
RAVE audio can access all 16 channels of each SDI input; for a 12-input system, that’s 192 available channels! Add audio from internal sources and optional Audio Breakout Units, and the RAVE channel count maxes out at an astounding 276 available input channels!
Embedded-SDI Channel Pair Mastery
Efficiently receive and distribute audio with access to all 8 embedded channel pairs on SDI-inputs and SDI-outputs. Take a channel pair from any SDI-input and assign it to any available fader in the mixer; and configure SDI-output channels with passthrough, all mixes, Main mix, Monitor mix and custom aux mixes.
Audio Dynamic Processing
A must have for microphone-heavy productions, dynamic processing provides EQ, Compression and Limiting for all mixer channels. Powerful technical and creative tools, drawing out the best parts of your sound and removing those undesirable elements. The RAVE audio mixer’s dynamics get the best out of every channel in the mix.
Sample Rate Conversion
Maintain consistent 24-bit broadcast-quality audio with sample rate conversion on AES and SDI inputs (BNCs 1-6).
Assignable AFV
Simplify audio management by configuring the Audio Follow Video (AFV) video source on a fader-by-fader basis. For example, tether various commentator lapel mics to specific camera shots in your production.
More AUXs
More custom mixes are good custom mixes. The number of audio AUX layers has been increased from 6 to 12, allowing for more mix/minus feeds, multi-lingual feeds, and other unique output feeds.
More Faders
The RAVE audio mixer now supports up to 48 faders. Take loads of embedded SDI-channels into your mixer, or connect up to 3 audio modules for up to 24 analog/microphones with plenty of configurable channels to spare.
Get started with fluid graphics right out of the box.
Graphite ships with a complete package of easily-customized graphic templates designed by Ross Video’s creative services team – Rocket Surgery.
