All 32 mix outputs of the iDR10 are utilised, and the programmable nature of the iLive surface allowed the engineers to configure the different mix outputs to provide feeds to the stadium, boxes, hospitality suites, track, OB vans, other broadcast feeds, and monitor mixes.
"The iLive was chosen for its routing flexibility, easy of use, superior audio quality, and small footprint, " states Owen McClain, Emerald Downs' chief audio mixing engineer. "The console handles various announcer mics and multiple video feeds that are distributed across different parts of the track. In addition to the varying house mixes, we also send mixes to live uplinks that are broadcast to sports bars across the Seattle area. Mix minus busses are utilised for phone calls, and other audio mixes are created for broadcast feeds that are supplied to O/B trucks and national TV stations."
