New firmware for the MMP1 studio monitor management system that adds refinements for the CB Electronics TMC-1 monitor controller was launched
The Netherlands - Yamaha launched an updated firmware and two new interface cards for its Rivage systems at IBC 2018 held in Amsterdam.
The HY128-MD is a 128-in/128-out interface which can be used to convert the output of a RIVAGE PM10 system to MADI, for transmission to a broadcast OB truck or to connect to a MADI-based mixing console, as well as providing asynchronous sample rate conversion for devices using different word clocks to be connected without noise and dropouts. The HY144-D-SRC supports up to 144 inputs/144 outputs via Dante with onboard sample rate conversion, adding convenience to systems where devices running at different sample rates need to be interconnected. The latest version 2.20 firmware supports both the new cards and adds several new features for PM7 and PM10 systems.
Yamaha's CL and QL series digital mixers have received a firmware update (v5.1), which directly supports the Sony DWR-R03D DWX digital wireless receiver, enhancing the value of existing and future CL/QL-based audio systems to broadcasters. In addition, the latest firmware for all Yamaha digital mixers means that they now feature multiple channels of Dan Dugan automixing, making them the ideal solution for all kinds of multi-microphone broadcast applications.
Also on demo was v1.1 firmware for the MMP1 studio monitor management system, which adds a range of refinements and support for the CB Electronics TMC-1 monitor controller. The company also presented the Nuage production system R-series D2 Dante I/O units, RMio64-D Dante-MADI I/O unit, RSio64-D Dante-Mini YGDAI interface and SWP1 series network switches.
