Third generation MediaMatrix SCION DSP launched

MediaMatrix, a Peavey Commercial Audio brand introduces SCION, the all-new Media and Control processor.

SCION, a descendant of the MediaMatrix NION platform, uses SHARC DSP architecture to provide a scalable, configurable media and control processing system. At the heart of the new Peavey MediaMatrix ‘S’ series ecosystem, Peavey Commercial Audio announces MediaMatrix sNET, a native AES67 media transport protocol capable of delivering up to 512×512 networked audio channels from a single device. Designed as a ‘Build it Your Way’ system, the SCION frame can be configured from an entry-level device to a fully-featured powerhouse or something in-between with optional hardware modules giving the consultant, integrator, and end-user unrivaled fit for purpose flexibility, says Peavey.

Backwards compatibility and convergence with NION allows consultants to design system upgrades and fresh projects with a simplified migration path thanks to NWare 3.0’s new dual-compiler tool enabling SCION and NION nodes to coexist in the same project. NIO Card-based I/O is also compatible with SCION providing continuity and flexibility.

SCION represents the evolution of MediaMatrix and as the meaning of its name suggests a ‘shoot’ that has taken root and continues to grow organically symbolized as a tree with branches and offshoots growing as companion control and I/O products forming to shape an ecosystem known as the ‘S’ series.
