A Multitrack Recording Topology
A Surround/7.1 Mixdown Topology With 96 mono input channels offering EQ, delay, dynamics, and solo, plus
A Live Broadcast Topology

The D950's maximum configuration is dependent upon the DSP power
available within its main processor rack. By way of an example, consider a
"typical" system configuration based on a core array of 8 to 10 DSP cards
that can provide:
With 48 in-line channels offering delay, EQ in monitor path and dynamics
in the input path, plus four stereo input channels with EQ, simultaneously
routing to 48 busses and four master outputs, with four mono and four ste-
reo AUX busses.
four stereo input channels with EQ, routing to eight busses via 16 VCA-
style groups, with eight master outputs, 12 mono and four stereo AUX
busses.
With 48 mono inputs offering EQ and delay, plus 24 stereo inputs with
EQ, routing to direct stereo via eight control groups - each with overall EQ
capabilities – with eight mono and two stereo AUX busses, 12 clean feeds,
and two master outputs complete with limiter and final EQ.
Within approximately 30 seconds, the configured software can be changed
and a mixing console tailored to the current application made available.
A multi-function facility of studio can now configure a "different" mixing
console for each session, for example:
