Sierra Automated Systems Launches New Products At 2018 NAB Show

6 April 2018 Posted by SAS SAS News

Sierra Automated Systems continues its tradition of building innovative solutions for broadcast operations with the debut of two new cornerstone products.

The Nucleus Advanced IP Engine is the latest fully integrated DSP based engine from SAS. 

The Nucleus Advanced IP Engine operates as a complete stand-alone audio console engine and utilizes an IP network infrastructure to interconnect and interoperate with other Control Rooms, Consoles and Engines. Additionally, interconnection to the SAS32KD is simply accomplished using the same AoIP Network where high demand I/O capacity is required. The small footprint engine is designed to fit in any control room and provides all functions necessary for any broadcast operation. Utilizing Open Media Protocols such as Dante, AES-67 and AVB the Nucleus connects to more third party devices than any other AoIP system. Nucleus features seamless integration with all automated playback systems including Wide Orbit and iAutomate.

R2: Rubicon Reimagined

SAS is also revealing the newest reimagining of its popular Rubicon audio console line. The R2 is the culmination of years of discussion with many top on-air personalities and engineers who have used the Rubicon daily for many years. The R2 features new LSI devices, IC’s and controllers and top of the class advanced metering, with selectable Standard VU and BS-1770 LU Meter ballistics. The R2 come with LED displays standard and upgradeable to OLED high resolution displays and in multiple anodized polished colors. And all of these upgrades come at a new lower price point.

New Website

Sierra Automated Solutions has also launched the first phase of its new website at SASAudio.com. Developed in partnership with RadioBB Networks the website currently spotlights all of the products to be shown at the NAB Show and will soon become home to a social community built around SAS products and usage.
