DiGiCo’s high
standards
in not only
audio quality
but roadworthy
mechanical design,
have limited its
ability to release an
aordable introductory
product. These values
have required the same
pioneering approach to
design: not to follow the
trend, but to deliver the agship
at an attractive price point and
change expectations. DiGiCo’s
S-Series does exactly that.
By using lower cost FPGA components programmed with the same audio algorithms, combined with a new control processor, DiGiCo is able to deliver the S-Series with the
fundamental technological values at its core.
Running in harmony with the FPGA core is a new ARM QuadCore RISC processor, which delivers faster processing with lower power consumption. Combined with the audio
core, this has allowed for the development of a cost-eective console worthy of carrying the DiGiCo brand.
To date, it has been the Tiger SHARC™ controlling the FPGA, but integrating these three technologies, along with networking capabilities, was a brand new challenge.
Using the high power QuadCore SoC, associated with high bandwidth memory, the S-Series consoles connect to a low power 484-ball array FPGA, which in turn connects to
fourth-generation control SHARC DSP, capable of not only controlling the FPGA, but leaves the door wide open for any additional processing in the future. And don't be fooled
by its size: the engine is a pint-sized powerhouse.
Even during DiGiCo's humble digital beginnings back in 1997, touch screens have been at the heart of the operation – and today, you hardly see a console without one. The
S-Series required even more rule-bending. DiGiCo opted for the latest P-CAP multi-touch screens for crystal clear visuals and gesture control, and put in a not one but two or
even three of them!
