Avid has updated their software for the Avid VENUE S6L live sound system. VENUE 5.5 offers support for the Avid Stage 16 Remote I/O box for S6L, and new control-surface capabilities.
Previously available for use solely with Avid VENUE S3L-X systems, the Stage 16 Remote I/O box is now supported for use with Avid VENUE S6L systems running Avid VENUE 5.5. This enables engineers to use Avid Stage 16 Remote I/O boxes in addition to the Stage 64 rack to deliver greater networked I/O distribution flexibility. Each Stage 16 box provides 16 analog inputs, eight analog outputs, and four digital outputs. Up to four Stage 16s and two Stage 64s can be used simultaneously to support up to 192 analog inputs. Additionally, Avid VENUE 5.5 adds a Meters view and System and Troubleshooting buttons on the Master Touch Screen for all three control-surface configurations. This feature provides users with a continuous view of channel metering across all S6L console screens as well as quick access to run system tests and more, directly from the control surface.
Avid VENUE 5.5 Software is a free download for all Avid VENUE S6L owners with a valid Avid Advantage Elite Live support contract.
