VENUE Stage 48 from Avid
®
is a configurable remote stage box
for VENUE SC48 consoles that uses highly reliable, low-la-
tency, and fully redundant Ethernet audio snake connections.
Up to two Stage 48 units can be connected to an Ethernet
Snake card-equipped SC48 console. All digital and analog re-
mote I/O are digitally controlled, fully recallable and fully
routable from your console.
If you purchased an SC48 Remote system, a fully loaded
Stage 48 is included and provides 32 remote Stage inputs and
16 remote Stage outputs (two AI16 Analog Input cards and one
AO16 Analog Output card).
You can also purchase an empty Stage 48 and expand your sys-
tem’s remote I/O capabilities by installing compatible VENUE
Stage I/O cards in Stage 48 (up to the maximum Stage I/O ca-
pacity of SC48–48 input channels and 32 output channels of
combined local and remote Stage I/O).
Stage 48 Features
A single Stage 48 supports up to 48 channels of remotely lo-
cated Stage I/O. Up to two Stage 48 units can be used simulta-
neously supporting the maximum Stage I/O capacity of SC48
systems (48 input channels and 32 output channels of com-
bined local and remote Stage I/O).
