DHD audio, a leader in digital broadcast studio technology, had a fruitful 2023. The year was marked by the introduction of the XS3 IP Core and an improved XD3 IP Core. These products debuted at the IBC 2023 in Amsterdam.
Marc Herrmann, the company’s Managing Director, highlighted their modular design, which allows for flexible initial setup and adaptability to changing workflows and scalability. These new cores cater to the increasing need for both local and remote IP connectivity in various broadcasting applications.
XS3 Studio IP Core: Compact and Efficient
The XS3 Studio IP Core, designed to fit in just 1U of rack space, supports up to 20 stereo faders on DHD .audio mixing consoles. It includes a multi-I/O interface module and an integral setup assistant tool, offering both default and advanced settings via DHD’s Toolbox configuration software.
XD3 High-Capacity IP Core: For Larger Operations
The XD3 High-Capacity IP Core is ideal for larger setups, supporting up to 96 stereo audio faders and extensive channel routing capabilities. Enhanced with a quad-core CPU, it can run additional features like Thimeo Audio Technology’s Stereo Tool.
