ARES
ARES is the NEW Mandozzi modular system to create custom control surface, I/O configuration and a DSP power of your digital audio network in broadcast applications.
With Ares System is possible to customize your operational setup choosing between several different configuration of control surface, number of Input and Output and DSP power.
It is possible to have studio-desk built-in modules, desktop modules or fixed frame version in order to create optimized version of a control surface depending on the applications.
There are 5 different modules that you can choose to create your control surface configuration depending on different applications from a basic fast operation On Air Version to a full optional version for production and live broadcast purpose.
BEA3X is the heart of Ares System. It is a totally configurable engine with modular structure.
It is possible to fix how much DSP power is needed and how many I/O cards are required for any kind of applications. Every unit can be connected in a network and it is possible to share audio and controls.
BEA3X is a 19" 2 RU Engine with control system signal processing and audio interface with integrated routing system with up to 4096x4096 I/O cross point.
BEA3X has a modular DSP structure, every DSP card is able to manage 48 channel processing, you can use how many DSP cards as required from the specifications of the system that you need. It is possible to assign chain of complete processing for each Input channel and every Output channel:
In the front pannel a touch LCD is avaiable to manage immediately the parameter that you want to check. Headphone output to monitor one of the selected I/O channels and the double hot swap power supply system.
Every BEA3X has a integrated DANTE Audio Over Ip digital transportation system and BEALINX integrated board with 512 proprietary audio signal bus.
AUDIO CARDS:
Mandozzi’s ARES makes it possible generating a configuration and creating a perfect setup for both On-Air and Production Applications.
The Broadcaster can reach up to 48 faders, with fader screen modules too, thus translating in the Sound Engineer having in front of him/her a Complete Visualization System and full control over all the Mixing Console parameters.
The Radio Broadcaster can create a smart setup with only 8 fader control surfaces for fast On-Air tasks, but is also able to control and manage up to 48 channels at the same time.
News Readers and Journalists can benefit from Mandozzi’s ARES making it possible to realize a very simple control surface using nothing but one Central Module for their Audio Application needs. Furthermore, using DANTE I/O Connection the Broadcaster is able to manage up to 16 I/O channels. Design your own Virtual Control Surface and use a 10” Touch Panel to control all the parameters you need . It has never been so easy, really!
Mandozzi’s ARES let’s you create a complex connection configuration between a DSP/Core Bea3X System, acting as a Central Router, and many different On-Air and Production Studios. Each studio is connected to the very same Network, both for the management and the control, and can be connected to the central routing system via MADI or DANTE or AES/EBU or through an Analog connection. The ARES Management Software makes it possible sharing controls and audio channel with all the connected studios.
Mandozzi’s R&D Department has created his own proprietary Digital Audio Transportation Bus, the “BeaLinks”. This audio transportation system let you connect as many On-Air/Production Studios as you want with 512 I/O Channels at the same time, in a double ring mode. This way, if unlikely one DSP/Core fails, the 512 I/O Channels are still available following the opposite direction. This concept highly increases the redundancy level of your Broadcaster configuration.
