ITN Installs Calrec's Artemis Light

Broadcaster ITN has installed an Artemis Light digital audio console from Calrec Audio in the Channel 4 News production gallery at its London headquarters.
Now the primary console on the Channel 4 News program, ITN's flagship news and current affairs show, the Artemis Light desk provides digital signal processing (DSP) power, scalable I/O options, and faders for mixing.
ITN installed a 40-fader Artemis Light console featuring Calrec's Bluefin2 signal-processing engine with 240 channel processing paths. Calrec's Hydra2 plug-and-play audio routing system is equipped with 24 mic/line inputs, 48 line inputs, 48 line outputs, 64 AES inputs, 64 AES outputs, 48 opto inputs, and 48 relays.
"Getting more DSP power was critical for us. Before we got the Artemis Light, our lack of it prevented us from making full use of outside sources," said Andrew Colgan, ITN technical projects manager.
"The Artemis Light has a huge number of standard processing paths when compared to the competition. Having so much DSP power allows us to load all of our sources and destinations into memory and recall them almost instantaneously, making day-to-day programs a breeze. At the same time, we can easily accommodate complicated changes.
"Before we had the Automixer feature, mixing the studio required super dexterity to equalise the sound if a guest jumped in with a comment," Colgan said.
"We simply couldn't react as quickly as we can with Automixer assisting us."
"ITN's Channel 4 News is a highly respected program that reaches millions of people every day and is a critical source of news for the British public," said Jim Green, UK sales manager, Calrec Audio. "The Artemis Light console will help to keep ITN's production facility at the forefront of the news business for years to come and accommodate almost any imaginable news scenario."
