NewTek’s audio control in VT[3] provides flexibility rarely seen before. That flexibility is evident when using VT[3] with the optional SX-8 Switcher Expansion module. Key features include:

• Balanced and unbalanced audio in and out
• Audio follows video integration with Switcher
• Multiple presets for 1-click changes
• Control Room feed
• Aux Sends and Returns

There are different possible audio configurations, based on whether VT®[3] is equipped with the optional SX-8 Switcher Expansion module. As a base unit, VT® [3] offers a stereo pair of inputs and outputs, which is great for hooking up with an external audio mixer, or if you only have a play and record deck and no other equipment to connect. Even with a minimum of external gear, you have access to audio mixing tools. Launch as many Digital Disk Recorders (DDR’s) as you need for playback of captured media, and assign each of them their own controls.

With the SX-8, you have access to 8 live audio inputs, 8 internal audio sources, such as DDR’s and ToasterEdit, and to a PA Mix out for either control room monitoring or live audio reinforcement at an event. Balance is available on all inputs and outputs, even computer sources.

Each of VT®’s SX-8 live audio inputs provide treble, bass and pan controls, with the ability to mute any channel from the mix. The 2 microphone level inputs offer phantom power, for sensitive high-end microphones. This audio mixer is just one of numerous components NewTek brings you at no additional cost. With VT[3], you can raise the production quality for clients without needing room full of extra equipment.
