DiGiCo's belief in audio quality and road worthy mechanical design has limited their ability to release an affordable introductory product. These values have required the same pioneering approach to design  not to follow the trend but to deliver the flagship for a price point - and change expectations. DiGiCo's S21 does exactly that. By using new  lower cost FPGA components programmed with the same audio algorithms  and combined with a new form of control processor  DiGiCo is able to deliver the S21 with the fundamental technological values at it's core. Running in harmony with the FPGA core is a new ARM QuadCore RISC processor. Delivering faster processing with lower power consumption  this efficient tool  combined with the audio core  has allowed the development of a cost effective console worthy of carrying the DiGiCo brand to existing and new owners and users.

How to make the step

To date it has been the Tiger SHARC controlling the FPGA but integrating these three technologies along with networking capabilities was a brand new challenge. Using the high power QuadCore SoC associated with high bandwidth memory S21 connects to a low power 484-ball array FPGA which in turn connects to fourth generation control SHARC DSP capable of not only controlling the FPGA but offering the potential for additional processing in the future. The compact footprint of the S21 has no relationship to the scale of processing power going on under the polycarbonate worksurface.

Interfacing

S21 comes complete with dual DMI (DiGiCo Multichannel Interface) option card slots perfect for expandability as it can interface with industry formats be it Analogue expansion MADI Dante Optocore Waves SoundGrid or Calrec"™s Hydra 2 Network. All bases are covered.

Two Touch Screens

The compact dual screen design of S21 provides 10 channel strips per screen allowing the operator instant feedback and control on 20 simultaneous channels. This amount of instantaneous feedback offers total reassurance when mixing large shows but the newly designed drag swipe and drop channel layout system makes it simple for operators to move channels and busses across the surface to design their own custom fader layouts.

Touch the EQ screen and you can choose to pinch touch and drag your curves on the touch screen or for a more tactile experience use the rotary encoders to fine-tune your frequencies then press to change function or switch on/off. It's the same philosophy for all other processing functions within the console.
