DirectOut and Vivivaldy optimize audio production processes

The union of the technologies of both companies has resulted in ViViD, a service that allows sound professionals to set up remote productions using standard Internet connections.

After the recent announcement of their collaboration, DirectOut y Vivivaldy have introduced ViViD, a personalized service that allows audio professionals to set up remote productions using standard Internet connections.

The growing demand for remote interaction from artists and sound engineers has led the two companies to offer a turnkey system to address these applications..

“Before the spread of Covid-19, The demand for remote productions on the Internet already existed, but the pandemic has increased it. In this evolving scenario, ViViD enables audio professionals to achieve this, regardless of their IT knowledge” comments Giaroli Luca, responsible for ViViD in DirectOut, brand that distributes SeaSound.

ViViD packages include Vivivaldy VPN solutions combined with Ravenna-compatible DirectOut products, like Prodigy.MP and Exbox.Rav. Ravenna's implementation of DirectOut enables uncompressed real-time audio streaming, via IP, with very low latency or buffer times of up to 500 ms.

Prodigy.MP is used with ViViD and is equipped with microphone preamplifier modules to capture analog audio signals at artist locations, while the headphone outputs are used for monitoring.

Built-in DSP also enables local EQ and zero-latency mixing. Vivivaldy's infrastructure is capable of connecting distant locations and allows them to communicate with a latency of less than 15 ms to enable live cross-monitoring.

Exbox.Rav, the new Ravenna to MADI converter from DirectOut, collects broadcasts. Audio packets are sent over the network with higher latency to ensure secure and reliable transmission, also ensured by the Vivivaldy relay mechanism.

With globcon control software, All configuration can be managed remotely anywhere on the network.

“We see great opportunities in the cooperation between our technologies, each reinforcing the other and allowing our clients to continue working together as if they were all present in the same room or studio.. This is the future, since it is not only about overcoming the limits currently imposed by the pandemic, but also to optimize audio production processes”, Luca Di Chio clarifies, founder of Vivivaldy.
