ImPulseV | Cloud DSP accessed from anywhere

ImPulseV cloud DSP software is Calrec’s virtual mixing engine, delivering premium audio mixing capabilities in the cloud.

Why you need an ImPulseV

It excels by offering low latency, secure remote access, and the ability to run real-time, responsive, scalable audio mixing instances from anywhere.

You need it to future-proof your infrastructure, boost flexibility, and take control of live audio, wherever you are. Perfect for modern broadcasters looking to scale at pace, operate efficiently, and stay ahead of the curve.

Whatever you need in two simple steps

ImPulseV cloud-based DSP processing software is suitable for broadcast audio production workflows, delivering premium audio quality and Calrec’s full broadcast feature set. ImPulseV may be hosted in a public cloud or on-prem environment, which can be accessed from anywhere in the world.

ImPulseV provides a virtualised Calrec audio mixing engine in a cloud-native environment. Leveraging patented x86 CPU optimal core processing (OCP) technology to operate in a virtualised Linux environment, ImPulseV is optimised for low latency throughput, providing real-time responsive, efficient and deterministic audio processing, control, routing and mixing.

Using the same interfaces that Calrec users are already familiar with, it can be controlled either through the Calrec Assist web UI or directly from a Calrec Argo Q, Argo S and Argo M console.

In addition, True Control 2.0 can be used to control ImPulseV from any True Control 2.0 enabled console, which provides additional control to the Type R mixing system.

ImPulseV enables broadcasters to deploy audio mixing instances as needed to meet the demands of a range of events, including allowing broadcasters to move to an OpEx cost model, enabling coverage of second and third-tier sports which may not have been economically viable.

ImPulseV | Deploy your DSP in the cloud

ImPulseV gives broadcasters the ability to deploy audio mixing instances on the fly using an economical OpEx model, providing the scope to cover second and third-tier sports which may not have been economically viable.
