“The real reason I bought the System T was for my project that I’ve been working on for six years,” Camp says. When he began work on the project, he says, immersive technology was not yet as accessible as he needed it to be, especially the Dolby content creation tools. “Five, six years later, all of that is built into Pro Tools. I’m also using the Dolby Atmos Mastering Suite, which is a standalone program,” he says. “This immersive project is huge — I’m probably running 700, 800 tracks.” The live production, which he plans to stage on the Las Vegas Strip, will be anchored by another SSL System T, he says.
Camp has integrated his new 48-fader, dual-operator System T S300 with an assortment of SSL Network I/O interfaces that provide access to and from the various audio transport systems in the room. An SB32.24 Stagebox supports 32 mic/line inputs, 16 analogue line outputs and eight digital I/O; an A32 provides 32 SuperAnalogue™ line-level I/O to the Dante network; a TCM1 offers MIDI and LTC connectivity; and a MADI-Bridge supports bi-directional conversion between MADI and Dante. An additional four Network I/O units bridge Camp’s dual Avid Pro Tools HDX Ultimate systems from MADI to the Dante network. In total, he says, “I can do 1,024 Dante inputs and outputs, 256 channels of MADI and 64 channels of analog I/O.”
