Mediatech 2015 was yet another successful tradeshow for Tadco. The company not
only showcased variety of new products but also used the event as the African
debut
for their Digico S21 Digital Console with Stealth Digital Processing.
There was a lot of buzz around the S21 digital console because it promises the
quality
that’s synonymous with Digico’s range, but for a lower price point.Prior to the
launch
of the S21, DiGiCo’s belief in audio quality and road worthy mechanical design had
limited their ability to release an affordable introductory product. These values have
required the same pioneering approach to design, not to follow the trend but to
deliver
the flagship for a price point – and change expectations.
DiGiCo’s S21 does exactly that. By using new, lower cost FPGA components
programmed with the same audio algorithms, and combined with a new form of
control processor, DiGiCo is able to deliver the S21 with the fundamental
technological
values at its core. Running in harmony with the FPGA core is a new ARM QuadCore
RISC processor. Delivering faster processing with lower power consumption, this
efficient tool, combined with the audio core, has allowed the development of a cost
effective console worthy of carrying the DiGiCo brand to existing and new owners
and
users.
