CP Communications makes large DiGiCo investment
- Details
The gear will primarily be used as effects submixers during broadcasts of NFL and college football games, with additional sports-broadcast applications expected in the future.
The consoles are assembled into flight-pack configurations for use in a variety of sports venue environments, taking full advantage of the S21’s compact form factor and the console’s exceptional processing power - based around its FPGA core and new ARM QuadCore RISC processor - allowing the S21 to be deployed in virtually any broadcast location and environment. These 17 new DiGiCo S21 desks join the more than half-dozen DiGiCo SD10B broadcast consoles already in CP Communications’ inventory, being used in remote-production vehicles.
“The S21’s compact form factor was the most enticing thing about it initially,” remarks CP Communications executive vice president Kurt Heitmann. “But once you look deeper, the case for the S21 becomes even more compelling.”
