NUAGE

To artists and musicians trying to lay down tracks in the studio, monitoring latency can be a huge problem that interferes with concentration and stifles creativity. The Nuage I/O units make latency issues a problem of the past thanks to advanced audio interface DSP hardware and “True Integrated Monitoring™” that reduces monitoring latency to well below the perception threshold of even the most sensitive performer. True Integrated Monitoring™ works flawlessly with the Nuendo Control Room monitoring features, a 32 monitor bus cascade, and a 16x16 monitor matrix that contributes to expandability and easy setup.

With a modular architecture that lets you combine components you need to ideally support your application, plus network audio that allows you to lay out your system to match available infrastructure and installation requirements while maintaining undiminished audio transmission quality throughout, Nuage offers outstanding system flexibility and scalability.

Since its introduction in 2000, Nuendo has become a hugely popular audio production tool, empowering professionals in the film, advertising, television, and media industries with higher levels of productivity. Nuendo 6, the core of the Nuage system, is a milestone release that comes with an enviable selection of features not found in any other postproduction software. EBU-compliant loudness measurement, some of the world’s most advanced surround panning and up-mixing capabilities, and full ADR Taker functionality add to this remarkable DAW'S enormous production potential.

The Dante Accelerator audio interface card can be installed in the computer running the Nuendo DAW to provide extra low-latency transfer of as many as 128 simultaneous channels of audio data, for a distinct performance advantage when communicating with Nuage I/O units. The Dante Accelerator card also features a secondary port that can be used to provide redundant connections* for failsafe reliability. *Available with firmware update scheduled in Summer 2013

Nuendo SyncStation is a hardware synchronizer that facilitates sample-accurate timecode synchronization between audio and video equipment. All Nuage interfaces include BNC and AES/EBU connectors for direct connection to SyncStation, as well as full support for the sample-accurate VST System Link. - Sample-accurate time code synchronization when used with Nuendo. - Allows MTP synchronization with many other DAWs (restrictions may apply according to DAW specifications and version). - Cross platform support for Mac OS X and Windows

Dante Accelerator, a core component of Nuage systems, is an innovative PCI Express audio interface card (Windows and Mac) that allows multi-channel audio transfer with low latency and high reliability. Working to transfer audio between a Nuage I/O and a computer based DAW, it can handle up to 128 input and output channels at 96 kHz with precise synchronization. A secondary port is available for redundant connections that ensure maximum reliability at all times. *The latest Mac Pro models (late 2013) do not have built-in PCIe slots, but are compatible with Thunderbolt expansion chassis from Magma and Sonnet Technologies that provide PCIe expansion supporting the Dante Accelerator card.
