Whilst other manufacturers are just waking up to the idea that a console needs to be an extremely versatile, networkable and expandable piece of equipment, DiGiCo is well ahead of the game, already having developed a raft of products that have these capabilities either built in to the core unit, or available through a range of remote control and expander units. The latest such product is the EX-007, designed to substantially increase the number of available faders and the number of channels controllable at any one time on an SD7 - and from a distance of up to 100 metres via a cost-effective Cat5 cable connection. It is possible to augment an SD7 with two EX-007s, each acting as a control panel to provide 24 faders and two additional touch screens, as well as metering and other standard functions, transforming the already impressive SD7 into a 100-fader mixing console. The EX-007 networks to the SD7, has its own power supply and its own PC. Now with Stealth Core-2 software.
