Session Configuration

1-12 Introduction
One of the D950 Series' key features is its free configurability, a function
that enables the entire configuration to be re-arranged and re-assigned to
suit the current application. In the past, mixing console hardware was built
in a fixed configuration according to the customer's individual require-
ments during its manufacture. Today, however, this same function is
achieved with a Graphic Configuration Tool. Having selected and entering
the desired specifications, after a very brief compiler run the hardware re-
quirements are displayed, and the entire set of DSP software required for
the new system is automatically generated.
This allows the operator to create fine tuned configurations for specific
applications in only a few minutes. Storing multiple configurations (which
can be recalled quickly) allows the use of any number of console archi-
tectures on the same system.
But that is just the beginning. Studer has taken a step that goes beyond the
mixing console configurability in the traditional sense: combined with
highly modular hardware components and extremely flexible software, the
Graphic Configuration Tool dramatically reduces – if not eliminates – ob-
solescence as user's demands evolve. It also greatly reduces overall system
delivery time.
