The Artisan console is a flexible, modular control surface for the Logitek Digital Audio Engine,
a TDM router.
The Artisan's traditional styling and sleek low-profile design make it a perfect fit for
small to medium market
TV broadcasters as well as radio production and small performance group applications. Multiple frame sizes are available to accomodate anywhere from 2 to 32 faders along with
two master mixes, eight stereo sub mixes, four stereo aux mixes,
24 mix-minus outputs and three monitor outputs.
All channels can be 5.1, mono, or stereo.
Artisan capabilities include EQ and dynamics control on every fader, sub-frame delay and
blend controls at
every fader,
direct access to master and submix busses from every fader,
a "capture and recall" feature
for storing and recalling console presets, easy selection of
mix-minus outputs and talkback destinations,
and more. Artisan also features talk back and IFB capability at every fader. Because the Artisan is router-based,
you have complete flexibility in assignment of inputs
to faders/outputs. Analog inputs can be routed to digital outputs and vice versa. In addition,
Logitek's Supervisor software enables scripting and macro functions for one-button event triggers.
Available modules for the Artisan include Fader, Monitor, Master, Softkey, and Effects. Two sizes of meter bridges
are also available, along with Logitek's vScreen software application, which allows you to "build" full-screen meter
banks as well as router controls. Pop-up EQ and Dynamics screens are also available that display console information
on a VGA screen in the room. As knobs on the Effects module are used to select parameters, the pop-up screen displays
EQ and Dynamics settings in a large, easy-to-read format.
Another useful option is vSnapshot, a scene "capture and recall" feature that provides a
pop-up GUI
on
your VGA screen.
50 scene captures are available per control surface, with data saved in user-editable
text files. (Capture and recall features
are also available on the Artisan control surface without the
need for vSnapshot.)
A separate rack mount redundant power supply can be located out of the way to keep the furniture top clear and ensures that
the Artisan itself will keep cool and operate dependably. All parts in the surface are isolated from the AC mains power
for safety as well. The power supply includes
25 GPI in and 25 GPI out connections for external device interfacing.
