1. Introduction
• Matrix
The heart of an iDR-8 and iDR-4 is a 16x16 matrix.
• Fixed Architecture DSP
All 16 i/p and all 16 o/p channels have full processing racks permanently loaded. The three big
advantages of this are:
1. Eliminates the need for the programmer to have to assign processing.
2. Eliminates variance in latency between channels.
3. System never runs out of processing power.
• Expandable system
Combinations of iDR-4 / iDR-8, input expanders and output expanders can be chained and looped.
An existing system can be added to or even subtracted from.
• Remote control
There are many ways of controlling the system remotely. We offer a wide range of wall plates, infra
red controllers, fader panels, switch units, rotary panels, LCD displays and custom GUIs (for use on
the client’s PC), in our PL range of controllers.
