Welcome dLive - My first impressions are very positive as they have kept similar concepts to the iLive range: Mixrack processing with surface/PC/ other remote and networking options, like the dual screens and customisation options (26 softkeys, custom screen encoder sets, scene wigets etc) “Multipe PFL’s” so Looks like more than one PFL buss YES!, Surface Video Output, Scene crossfades and UNDO scene functions - WHOO-HOOO!
However with all that horsepower - 128 DSP channels x 64 buss and 24 DCA’s can it handle TWO separate surface connections to one Mixrack? If not now perhaps with future Firmware? I see there are Surface A and Surface B connections on the Mixrack but they may be for redundancy connection or to get the bandwidth needed for 300x300 channels between mixrack and surface?
Is there any direct cross compatibility with existing iLive ACE systems? Obviously they can be linked via Dante/Madi etc but some sort of ACE link would be cool - channel names, gain sharing master/slave, buss links etc
Might have to check the dLive out when it goes to Integrate (Australia) in August!
