In collaboration with British manufacturer of touch-based display solutions Densitron, DirectOut has announced new control options for its modular Prodigy series. Users gain fast and intuitive access to selected parameters of the Prodigy.MC multichannel converter and the Prodigy.MP audio processor.

By integrating the Prodigy control protocol within Densitron’s IDS display and control systems, access to the Prodigy series is greatly simplified and its range of applications significantly extended towards installation applications.

‘Our flexible, network-based UI system TS10 is based on a 10.1-inch touchscreen, that complements the Prodigy series wherever direct access to the DirectOut devices is required to simplify more complex workflows within the Prodigy devices,’ explains Densitron IDS Sales Executive, Alexandra Jakins. ‘We see studio applications in the broadcast sector in particular here, as has already happened at the BBC, among other users.’

‘We ourselves are able to map the extensive functions and processes that the Prodigy series brings with our globcon user interface,’ says DirectOut CEO, Jan Ehrlich. ‘globcon is a powerful tool and makes the Prodigy series a powerful overall system for signal conversion, routing, monitoring and processing. However, some of our customers also want the option of having direct access to individual, selected functions and parameters at user level in a clear manner.’

The integration into Densitron IDS allows the parallel operation of Prodigy products via a second layer regarding input and output trim and gain, routing, signal monitoring as well as the loading of stored snapshots via touch.

In addition to the focus on studio applications in broadcasting, the extended operability of the DirectOut Prodigy series via Densitron IDS enables simple and intuitive operation of the hardware in fixed installations, for example in stadia and arenas, corporate installations, theatres and concert halls.
