NEW FOR 2012
How Nitrous turns up the power is with a significant expansion in the amount of Dynamic EQ, Multiband Compressors and FX, plus the matrix increasing from a 16 x 12 to 16 x 16 and the addition of DiGiTuBes, Reorder of Busses and Multichannel inputs. Now with no fewer than 16 Dynamic EQ processors which are available simultaneously, further expanding the tremendous amount of sonically transparent signal processing available across the console.
The DiGiCo SD10B provides a potent blend of features, performance, flexibility and sonic clarity, at a price point that brings advanced digital technology to a wider broadcast market than ever before. Many of the SD10B’s technologies are also to be found in its larger sibling, the SD7B, instantly distinguishing it from other brands at this price point. It also features a host of broadcast-specific features that’s perfect for live to air broadcast.
When you’re working with large numbers of inputs and outputs, the SD10B will readily accommodate you.
Facilities include 96 channels with full processing, 12 of which are Flexi Channels that can be configured as mono or stereo, with full processing available in either mode, 48 assignable busses that offer multiple configurations, plus a stereo, LCR or 5.1 master buss and a complete 5.1 monitoring matrix with a 48 x 6 source to speaker selection.
For exemplary sound quality and transparency the SD10B works with the next generation of I/O, in the shape of the DiGiCo SD-Rack which delivers up to 192kHz high resolution analogue conversion. That’s complemented by the powerful option of a fully integrated Waves Sound Grid, for a wealth of world-class, ultra-low-latency broadcast-specific effects.
All of this comes in a form factor that is simple to work within the tightest OB truck or studio, which makes the SB10B system readily shippable as a fly pack.
In Detail
At DiGiCo, intuitive, creative, fluid mixing is at the heart of our user interface design. The work surface is constructed from anodised aluminium, overlaid with polycarbonate panels to provide clear and concise user feedback, while a giant 15 inch, digitally driven, full colour TFT LCD touch sensitive screen provides you with plentiful feedback as well as fast control of all the main parameters. The touch screen eliminates complex menu-driven interfaces, with nothing ever further than one touch away. Your mix is created on a bank of 37 full-length motorised faders with accompanying high resolution bar graph meters to allow fast access to the large number of channels and outputs that can be assigned across the surface.
A dedicated VGA port allows connection of an external Overview screen, providing a clear view of all channels, busses, metering, fader positions and other key features.
The SD10B’s snapshot flexibility provides a wealth of facilities including global scope and snapshot specific recall, with the unique ability to crossfade no less than eight specific parameters within a snapshot – panning parameters, for example, or the ability to create a smooth ‘morph’ between EQ settings; the creative possibilities of the feature are virtually limitless.
It also provides the facility to take the console offline, enabling snapshot editing without affecting audio. Smart Key Macros are positioned on the right hand side of the SD10B’s surface, with an expanded configuration of four layers of ten RGB backlit smart keys for a total of 40 Macros. The user can program these to control any simple, or complex, functions they want to be able to recall at the push of a button.
SoundGrid Ready

I/O
DiGiCo provides a clear pathway to future expansion of your SD Ten’s facilities, in particular to its input/output (I/O) options. Local I/O, positioned on the rear of the console, consists of eight Mic inputs, eight Line outputs, eight Mono AES I/O, two MADI connections with redundant cabling connections, 16 GPI and GPO connections, – with the option to expand to 32 GPI and GPO, with Wordclock for synchronisation with external devices.
