Brian Slack
“When working on multiple systems, or just one, viewing all of your elements can be a big problem. Our consoles give us Pec/Direct metering, and our external meters allow us to see several elements in a large format but use up expensive I/O.
We have been looking for a meter package like this for a long time. It allows us to have customizable meters where we want them and view multiple tracks on multiple systems, using multiple formats in any way we need. This is a game changer for our large studio and our edit bays.”
