DiGiCo SD10-24: “Powers of Ten explained…”

The SD10-24 includes many of our flagship SD7’s features and benefits, including Stealth Digital Processing and floating-point Super FPGA technology, and provides a fully-loaded feature set that will cater to any front-of-house or monitor engineer’s needs.

The SD10-24 is a 25-channel version, which has two banks of 12 motorised faders and one master fader; but has all the same power and functionality as the larger SD10 but in a smaller frame comprising 24 main channel faders and a master fader.

Scratching the surface

SD10-24 features two banks of 12 motorised faders and one master fader, each of which benefits from its own high resolution LED bar graph meter. In the centre of the worksurface sits the familiar 15-inch backlit colour-keyed TFT touch screen, home of the console’s super-intuitive control interface.

The sheer intelligence of the SD10-24 means even the most complex of tasks become quick and easy: engineers can recall or save presets on the channel strip; and recall or save snapshots using the master screen or hard wired switches on the console. In addition, special functions can be assigned and accessed instantly via the console’s 40 Smart Key Macros (accessible via four layers of 10 RGB backlit keys) at the push of a button. It really is that simple.
