Audio Production System with Optional Networking
Remote Control and Production Automation
SW-P-08 SOURCE TO DESTINATION ROUTER REMOTE CONTROL
The Hydra2 router allows for 1-to-n
source to destination routing of
Hydra2 inputs to Hydra2 outputs,
without using console DSP, or control
surface space. Control over input
to output cross-point routing can be
carried out from the Brio 36 touch
screen interface, a standalone PC
running the Hydra2 Organiser (H2O),
or via 3rd party controllers supporting
the SW-P-08 protocol.
