5.1 ‘Master Compressor’
• In addition to master fader and
insert point, the console’s
programme output features a
5.1 compressor with a choice
of dynamics profiles including
SSL’s 4000 Series ‘Quad Bus’
compressor.
The C200 HD is an advanced digital production console that
delivers SSL sonic excellence and all of the operational
advantages of a digital console with a familiar in-line control
surface and mix system.
Dynamic Automation
• Bay Swapping allows any bay of 8 channels to
be swapped with a designated central master
bay, giving access to all channels from the
optimum listening position.
• Master AFL, level and routing control
for audio master such as auxes and
groups are handled centrally from
the Master Audio Control Panel.
• Aux Masters and FX Returns may be
assigned to and from outboard
effects devices in one operation.
• The Channel Information Displays provide metering for all large and
small fader signal paths on both channel layers across the console.
• The Master Metering Display provides dedicated metering for all
primary console outputs, plus
‘On Air’ Security
• Status Lock disables
potentially destructive
console functions such as
Solo-in-place, Dynamic
Automation and console
status changes.
Metering
and Machine Control
• Options include
analogue VU or
PPM and digital
phasescopes.
• Up to four SD & HD machines may be controlled
without an external synchroniser.
• Familiar mix statuses such as Abs, Trim, Snap
and Autotakeover.
• Powerful tools include MIDI parameter
automation, allowing outboard effects settings
to be automated from the console.
• For smaller control surface configurations,
‘virtual bays’ may be swapped with the master
to access all available processing channels.
24 user-programmable meters.
• Neutral colour schemes are designed for comfortable viewing over
long working periods.
Comprehensive Console Reset
• 62 Snapshot memories, with selective recall,
provide balance reset while production is live to
air. For example, to handle an entertainment
show with multiple acts.
• Snapshot sequencing is also provided with
automatic timed transitions between snapshots,
or manual control from a designated fader.
• Projects not only recall channel and centre
section parameters, but input and output
assignments, monitoring formats, automation
modes, etc. This enables the entire console to be
re-configured for different production types in
seconds. For example, to recall a daily
production template.
Dedicated Processing and Control
Dedicated channel strips provide fast ‘hands on’ mixing, a clear overview
of all console settings, and a familiar operational interface. Dedicated DSP
is available for all channels at all times and not allocated from a pool.
The C200 HD delivers large amounts of mixing capacity whilst saving on
rack space and reducing installation costs.
Broadcast/live production
C200 HD builds on the broadcast benefits of SSL’s award-winning
Remote microphone sources may be handled using compact and
lightweight remote controlled mic amps, connected via interference-free
fibre links. For some customers this technology has provided enormous
cost efficiencies allowing a single studio to support productions from
multiple venues. Channel DSP and I/O configurations are easily
expandable for dealing with changes in future production requirements.
C-Series technology. It adds a range of broadcast-specific features, and
components designed with scalability, reliability and fault tolerance in
mind. C200 HD is the latest in a long line of successful digital production
consoles, which are in daily use for Mono, Stereo and 5.1 HDTV
productions with internationally renowned networks such as CBS,
Radio France and NTV Tokyo.
Channel strip features include:
• Input gain control
• Compressor/Limiter and Gate/Expander - featuring dedicated metering
and sidechain keying
• High and low pass filters - available for the main channel path or
dynamics sidechain
• 4-band Equaliser section - featuring a choice of EQ profiles
including SSL’s 4000 ‘G’ and ‘E’ Series and notch filter for dealing
with problem sources
Resilience
Audio quality
• Offline setup on an external PC allows
pre-configuration of the C200 HD without
requiring access to the console.
• Copy and Presets - for fast copying of settings between channels, and
recalling favourite settings
• Secure SSL proprietary design provides freedom from reliance
upon third party systems and complete control over all elements of
the system.
• Self-healing DSP automatically recovers from fault conditions,
with internal confidence monitoring alerting users to a potential
problem immediately.
• Redundant power supply, DSP and fibre-link options, provide proven
line production security.
• Fast recovery times, with a complete re-initialisation of software and
hardware occurring in seconds, and control surface reset without
audio interruption.
As with all Solid State Logic consoles, audio quality is a primary
consideration. The C200 HD benefits from SSL’s proprietary Centuri
processing platform which is optimised for DVD Audio performance.
48kHz and (optionally) 96kHz operation are available.
• Insert Point - with ‘Mix Align’ for automatic latency compensation
• 12 Auxiliary sends - feature odd/even stereo linking and ‘Aux to Fader’
control, for setting up fast foldback mixes or effects sends
• Channel banking - fast access to more channels of processing
• GROUP/TAPE monitor path selection
Each channel provides digital equalisers, filters and dynamics. Unlike
some other systems, these are available at all times and not allocated
from a pool.
• RECORD button - for track arming or may fire external GPI functions such
as machine starts
Integrated Digital Routing Control
• Routing to channel inputs, setting mic input
parameters and assigning mix busses, is handled
centrally for speed and convenience.
• Routes may be made individually or in arrays,
providing fast setup tools for changing inputs, or
for assigning ranges of channels to bus outputs.
• Small and large faders - provide flexible in-line routing and control
• Panning - stereo or surround panning with dedicated large and small
fader or front/rear surround panning controls
• AFL and PFL - solos default to AFL, switchable to PFL operation (stereo).
Status Lock protects the console from Solo-in-place operation
• Large fader cassette - featuring motorised fader, snapshot reset
protection controls, 4-character grouping display, input signal meter and
backstop PFL overpress
Scalable, future-proof solutions
The C200 HD provides flexible channel configurations; with
up to 256 control surface faders. Huge I/O capacity allows
up to 512 analogue, AES or MADI I/O and 60 GPIs all from
SSL’s Centuri core.
• Fault-tolerant and self diagnostic front panel design.
Resource Rich
• 48 Multitrack plus 12 Main busses are available
for generating groups and mix minus feeds.
• Independent pre and post fader direct outputs
per channel provide additional send capacity.
• 2 simultaneous final mix outputs
(5.1 and Stereo).

Sound Creators Inc, Japan
Fox, USA
With demand for television programmes and DVD content on the
increase, SCi felt it was time to upgrade its main vehicle so that
it was better placed to cope with 5.1 surround sound
productions. The C200 HD was an ideal console choice because
it is very compact and can be tailored to fit into small spaces
such as a mobile studio.
The Fox on-air promotion department is a high-volume
production group that creates hundreds of promos per week.
Their C200s are integrated with hard disk editing systems to
provide a truly re-settable random access environment.
Reliability and efficiency are essential to producing this volume
of production output.
