Specifications

The PRO series eects and dynamics algorithms are more than superb quality, easy-to
use SHARC-based eects processing. They are incorporated within the automatic
delay management system, so that wherever they are patched, the audio will be ab-
solutely phase-coherent when summed into your mix. It is possible to assign up to 36
1/3 octave KLARK TEKNIK DN370 graphic EQs, for demanding monitor applications, all
of which can be controlled using the optional KLARK TEKNIK DN9331 Rapide moving
fader remote. All of this in addition to the four types of compression available on
inputs, and ve types on outputs. FX options, congurations, settings and patching
can change completely with each scene recall. The possibilities are almost endless.
Reliability is designed into all MIDAS products, and all PRO Series, apart from PRO1,
feature redundant power supplies as standard. The FPGA processing engine on the
PRO3, 6 and 9 is of modular construction, with the option of a spare module which
will automatically deploy in the event of an engine module failure (n+1 model). Due
to its modular conguration the DSP engines of both the PRO3 and PRO6 can be
loaded and upgraded to PRO9 specication.
PRO Series digital audio transport uses the international AES50 standard, featuring
feed-forward error correction which provides superior protection against lost data
packets and synchronization issues when compared to other Ethernet cable based
systems. All links between PRO series hardware elements support redundant cables
for copper and optical options are available on the PRO3, PRO6 and PRO9.
The Control Centre for the PRO3, 6 and 9 houses dual redundant Linux master control
computers (MCs), both running full versions of the relevant PRO Series Linux soft-
ware. Either MC is capable of running the entire system on its own and control can be
switched between the two without any loss of audio.
