Please note that some version numbers
are not generally released for all products,
and are therefore not documented here.
V2.0 included:
480 mono equivalent channels,
configured as 162 stereo plus 156 mono
channels, with the capability for up to 78
surround channels (constructed from the
available resources).
96 pairs of assignable inserts (These are
signals available, not ports).
All 8 groups can be 5.1 surround.
EQ/Filters are available on groups. There
are an extra 2-band EQ and 2-band Filter
dedicated to dynamics on each channel
and group.
Every channel and group can produce a
direct output simultaneously. All surround
channels and groups have surround direct
outputs with the option to downmix the
output to stereo instead. The mix-minus
of a surround direct output is a true mix-
minus of the whole surround channel or
group.
PFL from surround paths to Main or Small
LS and PFL to Mon are surround, but the
PFL LS output is still stereo.
256 mono legs of buss/output metering.
Up to 128 phase meters using 2 mono
legs each.
Channel input delay increases to 256
mono legs of 2.73 seconds. There are
2.73 seconds of delay available on each
group.
The amount of rack space needed is
reduced as the DSP rack and fan tray are
no longer required.
CHANgES wITH SOfTwARE VERSIONS
Power consumption and the amount of
heat generated are reduced.

1 or 2 regardless of port attachment is still
available from the Input Output panel.
Delay Work - allowing delay on group
inputs, direct outputs, insert send/return
for channels and groups and insert return
for mains.
Reset faulty DSP after hot swap (Self
Healing DSP).
A change to the way I/O port lists work:
Local I/O and Hydra I/O can occupy the
same list.
More than 64 Hydra ports in one port
•

Sets of ports (for surround perhaps)
•
are kept in sequence when port lists
are sorted alphabetically.
Description field for each port,
•
viewable on front end.
Port lists can be saved as user files.
•
Mic open buss allocation moved to •
Options screens (for local and Hydra
ports).
Inputs Usage screen to show all input
connections.
Enable Autofader mode - The user can
enable / disable the auto faders when
they are attached and are being controlled
by the Optos, without having to unpatch
either the auto fader or the opto. The
spare button on the Input/Output panel,
next to the Insert In/Out button
is used to toggle between the new ‘Enable
Auto Fader’ mode and the current Insert
In/Out mode. When in this new mode the
‘Insert In/Out’ button will enable or disable
the currently attached auto fader.
Clear multiple channels - The ablilty to
clear many channels at the same time.
This is implemented on the User-Chan
screen
Layer View Options - The ability to control
the way the ALL A and ALL B buttons
work. Control modes are selected on the
Options - Misc screen. A short press on
an ‘All A/B’ button can be set to cause the
faders to display and control the chosen
layer, and the button will flash. When the
button is pressed again the faders shall
return to their original layer, and the button
will stop flashing. If an All A/B’ button
is pressed and held down, the faders will
change to the chosen layer, and
remain there.
Panels - Input/Output screen. A screen
representing the Input/Output panel
controls.
Panels - Route screen now includes track
send controls. Interrogation will not be
permitted from the screen.
Cue Director can now associate Hydra
input ports with external router inputs and
Hydra output ports with external router
outputs. It is still not possible to route
Hydra inputs to Hydra outputs.
