SADiE & Smart AV announce joint development agreement

SADiE and Smart AV have announced a joint development agreement to begin the integration of the revolutionary new Smart AV Smart Console control surface with the new generation of SADiE Series 5 digital audio engines, including the new PCM-H64 multichannel workstation.
The Smart Console is a new breed of audio mixing control surface that delivers a five-fold improvement in ergonomic efficiency when mixing and editing large numbers of channels.
The SADiE Series 5 digital audio engine incorporates the use of a 64-bit high speed PCI interface and enables a five-fold increase in throughput, creating an exceptional design that is truly different from anything currently on the market.
"We're very excited to announce this new cooperative working relationship with SADiE. The integration of the Smart Console ergonomically efficient interface technology with SADiE's sophisticated Series 5 engines promises to deliver some amazing capabilities," said Joseph Narai, MD of Smart AV. "The quantum throughput improvements in the new Series 5 SADiE digital engines are a perfect compliment to the similar improvements gained from the revolutionary ergonomics in the Smart Console."
SADiE Managing Director Joe Bull added: "Like so many audio engineers, we have been profoundly impressed by the innovative and unique design of the Smart Console. We view the console as a natural partner for the new SADiE PCM-H64 large-scale multi-channel platform. This powerful combination will undoubtedly have tremendous appeal to the postproduction and music recording community."
