AVATUS is the future in audio consoles. This innovative concept makes full use of the benefits offered by IP technology. The console controller provides TCP/IP connectivity for integration into a network. The surface consists of one large or several smaller modules. This design allows, for example, for separate installation of the metering displays. The system supports remote network connections and even browser-based mixing that requires no specific hardware. With AVATUS, all hardware modules are created equal. Every touchscreen gives full access to all configuration settings and central desk functions. – The ultimately flexible and limitless concept!
The console integrates seamlessly into a NEXUS audio network that offers virtually unlimited audio-I/O resources in all common formats. The built-in macro controller allows for easy integration of external systems in any environment and for smooth day-to-day operations.
The Surface
AVATUS, Stage Tec’s IP-based Distribu-ted Remote Console, was designed to
be highly flexible in order to meet the numerous requirements of the modern audio world. The unique combination of dedicated hardware controls with the modern adaptability of large, easy to operate touch screens allows every sound engineer to follow his intuition. It invites you to individualize any workflow.
Touch screens and colour-coded fader and encoder units make mixing console operation self-explanatory. The TCP/IP connection concept means that each screen is independent, so that a console is created by assigning the modules to a control card, regardless of whether they are in the same frame or in the adjoining room, as long as they are all in the same network.
