Responding to the broadcast industry’s shift to embrace more flexible production platforms, Solid State Logic is evolving its comprehensive System T platform at IBC 2026 (stand 8.B45) to embrace a range of software-defined workflows. The company plans to demonstrate how its System T ecosystem is delivering scale with a range of physical and virtualized user interfaces as part of its software-defined Virtual Tempest Engine (VTE) for deployment across both on-prem and cloud workflows. ​According to SSL Broadcast Product Manager Berny Carpenter, the ability to deploy broadcast audio processing wherever it is needed and provide remote control of that processing from anywhere, positions it perfectly for the industry’s transition to more agile, software-defined workflows. “At IBC, SSL is previewing enhancements to VTE’s software-based processing engine as part of our commitment to align with the EBU’s Dynamic Media Facility (DMF) project,” he says. Carpenter adds that the DMF project and the associated Media eXchange Layer (MXL) development aims to solve many of the real-time challenges of moving to software-defined workflows.
