Taking Solid State Logic's Product Demonstration Area to the Next Level

CHALLENGE

Solid State Logic's (SSL) Product

Demonstration Area (PDA) is a suite of

6 fully functioning production studios,

used for demonstrations, training, test-

ing and product development. Built over

two floors, each of the studios is acous-

tically designed by some of the world's

finest acoustic designers, including Sam

Toyashima, WhiteMark, Neil Grant Asso-

ciates and Munro Acoustics. The studios

are all wired for video and 5.1 audio

and with the development of HD video

and audio, digital workstations and

computer based production technology,

SSL saw an opportunity to develop even

more flexibility and capability for this

showcase facility.

Central to the vision for the develop-

ment was the need to give complete

flexibility to all resources in the facility.

Customer demands mean that at any

time there may be a need to do 5.1 au-

dio demo mix production in one room,

at the same time providing a HD, mix-

to-picture training session in another.

The combination of six multi-channel

console rooms having free access to five

Mac and PC based workstations and

their associated display screens, pointing

devices, keyboards and HD video feeds

were a complex problem to solve.

Initially, SSL's PDA had three machine rooms to house tape machines, power

supplies and all the other paraphernalia that studios need. With SSL's devel-

opment of more green, energy efficient technology and the use of PC and

Mac workstations, it looked feasible that all studios could be fed from one

machine area. It also seemed feasible that the majority of the installation

could be future proofed by flood wiring with Cat5e and Fiber to carry all

audio, video and control signals. These became further design goals for the

project, reducing power consumption, machine space and liberating copper

stuffed cable ducts to be freely accessible and capable of significant expan-

sion, when necessary.
