AIRTAME

Share to Call

started the call, as a local participant in the same room, and as a remote participant. The process is easy: one meeting participant starts the call as a ‘room host’ using Airtame Hub. Then, a second user in the meeting room can launch the Airtame application, select the room/device and click “share screen.‚” An intuitive pin code then appears on the screen to verify that the user is in the room and permitted to share.

The sharing user can select whether they’ d like to share their entire screen, or a specific window (which ensures no notifications or unwanted content is shared into the call).

Once shared, the user’ s screen is visible both locally in the meeting room and for remote participants using Microsoft Teams or Zoom. For local participants, it is possible to screen share through the Airtame desktop app — with Miracast, AirPlay, Google Cast and Share from Browser support coming in the near future.

Airtame’s new Share to Call feature solves one of the biggest pain points experienced in hybrid meetings by allowing any person in the meeting room to instantly share their screen into a Zoom or Teams call without having to go through the hassle of joining the call from their personal device (in which they have to mute their microphone and speaker, turn off their camera, and then start sharing).

In addition to making screen sharing faster and easier during hybrid meetings, Share to Call eliminates audio feedback when users forget to mute before joining a call to share. It also saves battery power since the user’ s computer doesn’ t have to use its resources to run a conference call. Lastly, Share to Call saves bandwidth on the local network — ­­ as in-person participants no longer have to load all call contents on their devices.

Users can now share their screen as a room host that

The immense processing power available in the G1 means Brompton’ s TrueLight technology can perform spectrally-aware, full-colour per-pixel calibration of all four RGBW LED colours, while offering dynamic user control of the RGB to RGBW conversion through the intuitive TrueLight user interface — not only enabling RGBW panels to deliver natural, high-quality spectrum lighting in VP volumes, but also pixel-perfect colour accuracy in direct-view applications.

Ultra-high frame rates: The G1 has the capability to drive panels at up to 1000fps, offering great benefits for slow-motion and special-effects filming. This capability also improves the performance of Brompton’ s existing Tessera software features, such as ShutterSync® and Extended Bit Depth.

Brompton Technology developed the G1 as a platform for the increasingly complex software and algorithms required to optimise visual performance on LED and creates the opportunity for huge innovation. The G1 is already being integrated by industry-leading manufacturers, ushering in next-generation LED panels that deliver finer pixel pitches, ultra-high frame rates, and a broader spectral output thanks to the addition of extra LED emitters per pixel.

Virtual production, photo-realistic simulators and immersive VR environments are just some of the emerging applications that constantly push the limits of LED performance. Where high performance was once a niche market, the growth opportunities right now are in areas that rely on the best possible visual quality. Fundamentally, these applications are all linked by a desire to recreate reality as accurately as possible, and that FOR is the challenge that Brompton Technology is MORE taking up with the Tessera G1.

Brompton’ s Tessera G1 is by far the most powerful receiver card ever to go into an LED panel. It has 20x more computing power than the current industry-leading Tessera R2+ receiver card and unlocks new capabilities that will help define the future of LED processing.

The G1 is capable of supporting a staggering one-million-pixel capacity for a new generation of ultra-fine pixel pitch panels. Furthermore, it can drive panels at refresh rates up to 1,000 frames per second. It is also the first-ever receiver card to support 10Gb fibre Ethernet connections direct to the panel.

Additionally, the G1 supports Brompton’ s unique Dynamic Calibration technology, an essential building block for high-quality HDR video. It then builds on this foundation to support the brand new TrueLight® functionality, enabling dynamic control of RGBW panels. With its unmatched computing power and capabilities, the Tessera G1 opens the door to a new generation of LED panels that will take content to a new level.

One million pixels: A single G1 receiver card can drive up to one million pixels — the equivalent of a 1280x720 display in a single panel, which could easily be combined into 4K, 8K or larger displays. With a higher pixel density comes ultra-fine pixel pitch panels that can benefit from Brompton’s colour accuracy and low-end brightness features to enter new markets where high-quality visuals are essential.

Fibre connectivity: The G1 connects directly to the fibre outputs on current processors like the industry-leading Tessera SX40, and will also be compatible with future Brompton processing platforms. It enables 10Gb of bandwidth straight to the panels, while providing additional benefits of electrical isolation and the flexibility of cable runs measured in kilometres.

TrueLight technology: When it comes to in-camera visual effects, LED panels often contribute to lighting the scene, so having an additional white emitter within an RGBW LED panel represents a significant leap in

DISPLAYNOTE

Omni Cable-Free Conferencing Solution Best in Show — Omni from DisplayNote Launched at InfoComm 2023, Omni is a seamless, cable-free conferencing solution that’ s designed to transform the meeting room experience. Imagine for a moment a virtual USB cable that lets you connect to a screen, camera and mic, instantly. That’ s Omni.

Why do we need Omni?

Meeting room technology has changed dramatically over the years. In the past, meetings were often held in large, formal rooms dominated by furniture.

If technology was installed, it would, in all likelihood, be outdated and not particularly user-friendly. In recent years, there has been a shift towards more informal meeting rooms equipped with modern, up-to-date technology, including; VC equipment, interactive displays and whiteboards, wireless presentation systems amongst other kit.

This array of technology should in theory should make meetings more productive and collaborative. However, a study* from 2017 shows that only 25 percent of meeting room technology is used to its full potential. And this is before the Pandemic and in particular the post-Pandemic period which has seen a huge acceleration in the adoption of meeting room technology.

Why the underuse? Two things: technical issues and complex setups. Technical issues arise with wear and tear, especially the constant plugging and unplugging, and accidental removal of cables. Being tied to one conferencing platform can also cause incompatibility problems which affects the call process. Add to this poorly designed meeting rooms which see people huddling around a single laptop, a lack of proper staff training on complex tech solutions, and you have a situation in which many organizations miss out on the real, tangible benefits that meeting room technology should deliver - enhanced communication, improved collaboration and increased productivity.

which means cabling issues are eliminated and a clutter-free space is guaranteed.

Omni takes away incompatibility headaches: It’ s platform agnostic so works with all popular conferencing platforms.

It also seamlessly connects a laptop to the meeting room equipment, so no more huddles around a single laptop. What’ s on the laptop screen is large meeting room display — everyone can see it.

How Omni works Omni searches the local network for enabled devices and connect to those devices — imagine that virtual USB cable again — whether displays, cameras or microphones. When launching a conference call (on their preferred platform) users can now utilize the room’ s hardware as it if it were their own.

Conclusion Omni should win a ‘Best in Show’ award as in the meeting room tech sector, it’ s in a class of its own. There’ s nothing else like on the market. With Omni the future is bright for meeting room tech, and the future is cable-free.

IHSE USA

ECOSmart KVM-over-IP Extender kvm-tec inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of IHSE, now offers the ECOsmart series of zero-space transmitter extenders for the extension of keyboard, mouse and video supporting signals up to 1920x1200@60Hz or 1080p60 for real-time video.

The ECOsmart is offered in a compact ruggedized aluminum case that can be powered via a USB port on the computer source or with an external power supply. This flexibility makes the ECOsmart the perfect KVM extender where rack space is limited, and signals need to be distributed long distances away from the source. The compact form factor boasts full size features such as mouse-glide for using a single keyboard and mouse across multiple monitors; USB 2.0 for card readers; and other high-speed peripherals can be configured when combined with kvm-tec’ s FlexLine and media4Kconnect line of receiver extenders.

The ECOsmart uses kvm-tec’ s KVM-over-IP specialized technology, providing a huge time savings for system installers who normally must pre-configure network ports.

Units can be configured to support point-to-point connections via an on-screen display or through kvm-tec’ s Switching Manager software for system configuration and real-time diagnostics. The ECOsmart transmitter is compatible with standard network switches. When integrated as part of a KVM switch system, users get glitch-free, instantaneous switching —reducing eye strain, annoying video tearing, or USB mouse delay normally found with software-based KVM solutions.

Designing a system to integrate the ECOsmart can be accomplished in three basic steps. First, determine the number of computers or servers to be shared through the KVM network switch. Second, determine the number of displays and keyboards to be shared and finally, take a total count to determine the number of ports required for the KVM network switch. From here, the installer can determine the type of receiver units to incorporate using kvm-tec’ s FlexLine for media4Kconnect receiver units. Configuring a system simply requires all the extenders to be connected

to the system network switch to build the system design criteria with the Switching Manger software. Security and extender assignments can also be created, allowing levels of access permission by users.

Each ECOsmart transmitter can be connected to the network via standard CAT5e,6 cabling up to 150m/492ft away from the computer source. The small form factor utilizes a standard screw-lock DVI connector to prevent accidental removal of the video cable when used in a temporary setup such as mobile operations or tactical field operations. It is ideal for venues with limited rack space as well as deployments where users demand high resolution video and zero latency such as broadcasting, sports venues, post production, and control rooms.

Combining the ECOsmart with kvm-tec’ s Gateway2Go Windows App allows remote users to connect to any local unit on the kvm-tec switching network. Gateway2Go is connected to the internet via a VPN tunnel and can be connected to the ECOsmart via a secure port from any remote workspace. Mouse and keyboard data is authenticated in real-time and transmitted to the connected PC/laptop securely. In the local switching system performance up to 60fps can be accomplished without any delay.

IHSE USA

Media4Kconnect Series KVM Extender IHSE USA now offers a new level of 4K extender efficiency with the kvm-tec Media4Kconnect series of DisplayPort KVM-over-IP extenders. Thanks to the optimized compression technology and unique conversion processing, the Media4Kconnect series delivers full 4K resolutions in perfect 4:4:4 color space and is compatible with 10G network switches. The media4Kconnect models are available in different versions to support standalone extension, redundancy, or in a fully uncompressed version to support up to 4K. These extenders can be used as high-performance low latency KVM point-to-point connections or as part of a larger KVM switching system. Switching can be one through either the on-screen display menu or directly through the provided kvm-tec switching manager software.

The media4Kconnect provides a full array of user features to allow customized setups to eliminate the need for external signal and conversion adapters. For instance, the units can be configured to support two images that can be simultaneously displayed as either dual 4K, 4K+downscaled HD or upscaled 4K and HD. Support for High Dynamic Range (HDR) is scheduled for release before the end of 2023.

These units support 4K DisplayPort 1.2 using a single duplex fiber optic SFP modules that extends the signals up to 300m (984 ft) with multimode fiber or up to 120km (74.5 miles) with singlemode fiber. Signals are transmitted with full 4:4:4 @8-bit color in standard models or up to 4:4:4 @10-bit in uncompressed models. Standard 4K resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 @60Hz are achievable with low latency and delay-free transmission.

Other optional features of the media4Kconnect include transparent USB 2.0 supporting card readers, printers or touchscreen displays. Upgrades include USB mouse glide to connect multiple displays with a single keyboard and mouse. They are compatible with standard network switches using layer 3 internet protocol packets. The compact aluminum housing allows up to four extenders to be mounted in a 1U space. The units are powered with an external power supply and are easily upgraded via USB or through the Switching Manager software.

The media4Kconnect extenders are also offered as redundant models. In the case of an interconnection failure at the primary link, the redundant link ensures , uninterrupted communication between the transmitter and receiver units.

Should a transmission fault occur, it is automatically detected and indicated via a front panel LED or through kvm-tec’ s system manager software. Data flow is instantly switched to the secondary transmission link once an error is detected.

In general, redundant KVM extenders offer significant value: they need little or no maintenance; are self-healing systems; and thanks to fast recovery times, can save money over the long term — even if a relatively small number of breaks occur to disrupt communication flow.

Command and control rooms, broadcast centers, urgent response centers and other professional media systems are continually growing and changing to provide superior service to their users and clients. For these types of systems, the media4Kconnect KVM over IP extenders delivers significant value from day one at a FOR much lower cost point.

Microsoft Teams IntelliFrame gives each in-room participant a dedicated camera view, ensuring a more inclusive remote experience, and providing an optimized front row experience in room-to-room meetings. The new multi-stream feature enables Microsoft Teams Intelliframe to have a better view of who is in the meeting room with three video streams: the first stream is the current speaker, the second stream is for the previous speaker, and the third stream is the full panoramic room view of the meeting room or space, so no individual is excluded.

Both features play a key role in helping employees have more productive meetings, get up to speed on focus topics, organize key discussion points, and summarize actions so that the entire group understands the next steps. By adding Copilot to meetings and conversations, users will also have a powerful tool to help with everyday tasks such as creating meeting agendas based on chat history, identify-

ing the right people for follow-ups, and scheduling the next check-in — enabling heightened productivity and efficiency with PanaCast 50.

The new Microsoft FaceStream feature allows tagging of people in the room - when authorized by each participant - to display their names to remote users, and populate the meeting room roster. The new Intelligent Speaker feature enables Microsoft to identify the people in the room and enables Copilot intelligent recap, providing accurate voice attributes and user identity of the meeting transcription.

Hybrid meetings are also taken to the next level as the upgraded PanaCast 50 system comes equipped with Jabra Intelligent Meeting Space. The new feature allows customers to set a meeting room or space virtual boundary with PanaCast 50, so that people within the defined space are fully included, whereas people outside of the boundary are not inadvertently included. The new feature allows PanaCast 50 to exclude people who are visible through glass walls, and are not part of the meeting.

Jabra’ s collaboration with Microsoft unlocks a new era of inclusive and dynamic communication in the video conferencing space.

LIBERTY

6000 Series AVoIP Transcoders The newly engineered 6000 Series AVoIP transcoders and wall plate encoders/decoders for the first time offer a cost-effective solution to distribute 4K60, zero latency video on the network. Leveraging the new AVoIP ASIC chip and an efficient board design using 33 percent fewer components, the SDVoE 6000 transcoder saves money, while not compromising on features or performance.

First, the purpose-built ASIC chip is significantly less expensive than FPGA chips (and more readily available, which also helps with on-time delivery of product). The 6000 also uses less power than most popular AVoIP endpoints (7w v. 24w) and support PoE. Not only are you saving on the cost of the endpoints, but also on lower-powered IP network switches. Plus, the customer lowers their cost of ownership by significantly saving on monthly utility bills.

Second, the 6000 Series transcoders uniquely function simultaneously as an encoder and a decoder, unlike others on the market that must be programmed as either one or the other. For many applications this means you only need one endpoint instead of two in the room.

Third, 6000 Series transcoders do not require a control processor to communicate with Wizard-style Arranger software to configure, monitor, manage, and analyze device data over the network. The transcoders also enable simple drag-and-drop video wall configuration and 40+ Multiview display using Arranger software without the need for additional switchers or processors. Of course, the 6000 Series transcoders are feature-rich offering analog audio de-embedding, native up/down scaling, Dynamic HDR such as Dolby Vision, HLG, and HDR10, multi-channel audio support

including Dolby Atmos and DTS. Another value-add of the Arranger Software is the built-in bandwidth meter and video monitoring. As Liberty AVoIP endpoints are connected to the network, the native bandwidth meter displays system data consumption in real-time. Furthermore, network traffic can be monitored in real-time and logs track system bandwidth over time to preempt bottlenecks. The native video monitoring allows you to see content on every connected display without the need for preview monitors or extra video switches.

Liberty 6000 Series endpoints work right out of the box delivery perfect 4K60 4:4:4 no latency video over standard 10G Ethernet. The system can then easily be fine tuned without any programming. All at a new low cost that is competitive with traditional HDBaseT systems (but using standard IT infrastructure and more flexible and scalable) or 1G JPG 2000 endpoints, which don’ t have the bandwidth to support 8K, VR, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, or whatever comes next.

Boasting less than .1 percent failure rate, a 5-year standard warranty, and backed by Wesco Global Support and Logistics, 6000 transcoders are the most simple, affordable, dependable AVoIP endpoints on the market today.

LISTEN TECHNOLOGIES

ListenWIFI

The new ListenWIFI product suite is the next generation of Listen EVERYWHERE, Listen Technologies’ audio-over-Wi-Fi solution. ListenWIFI will replace the Listen EVERYWHERE system and ship later this year.

ListenWIFI, like earlier versions of Listen Technologies’ audio-over-Wi-Fi solutions, lets venues stream audio over their wireless network to guests’ smartphones. Guests access the audio via a free app and listen with headphones or earbuds. An optional personal induction loop, or neck loop, is available for guests with telecoil-equipped hearing aids or cochlear implants. When guests wear the neck loop, and it is plugged into their smart device, audio transmits directly to their hearing aids or cochlear implant.

Applications for ListenWIFI include assistive listening, language interpretation, streaming audio from video or TV screens, and audio description. While previous versions of Listen Technologies’ audio-over-Wi-Fi solution had similar applications, ListenWIFI is a new platform that offers new functionality and capabilities not available from similar products in the market today. The versatile ListenWIFI system features new hardware, including LWR-1050 dedicated receivers, new LA-490 ListenWIFI Beacons, new servers, and enhanced software that simplifies system configuration and management.

ListenWIFI LWR-1050 receivers are the market’ s first dedicated Wi-Fi assistive listening receivers designed and built specifically for this purpose. They are not smartphones.

LWR-1050 receivers are available for venues to meet legislative assistive listening compliance requirements and to simplify audio access for guests. When used with signage and neck loops, the new receivers enable ListenWIFI to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and international compliance requirements, making ListenWIFI a global assistive listening system. LWR-1050 receivers deliver high-quality audio, industry-low latency, and let schools, venues, businesses, and houses of worship offer students, visitors, and guests a choice. They can access streamed audio via the free ListenWIFI app on their smartphones (BYOD) or simplify access to the audio using the LWR-1050.

The LWR-1050 does not require users to connect to Wi-Fi or

download an app. The receivers can be preconfigured, so users simply turn them on, are automatically connected to the venue’s audio, and start streaming immediately.

The new ListenWIFI LA-490 Beacons provide location-based audio for a fully automated and seamless user experience. Beacons are small, lightweight units that can be mounted on a wall and transmit information via Bluetooth to LWR-1050 receivers or smartphones running the ListenWIFI app. Venues can configure the Beacons to trigger LWR-1050 receivers and users’ smartphones to stream audio automatically when a person is within a specific range of the unit. ListenWIFI software lets venue managers determine coverage areas and which channels a user can access.

The new ListenWIFI servers will be available in 2-, 4-, 8-, and 16-channel configurations. The servers easily deploy on venues’ existing Wi-Fi networks but can also facilitate separate standalone networks. Venues just connect servers to their network and audio sources and notify BYOD users about the free ListenWIFI app.

The new ListenWIFI Manager software for Windows® makes it easy to manage and program the entire ListenWIFI system. Using ListenWIFI Manager, venues can also easily track inventory, hide and password protect audio channels, and generate QR codes that smartphone users can scan to access audio.

The ListenWIFI app allows venues to customize branding, colors, and messaging. It also lets venues generate QR codes from the app that users can scan to select their preferred language. Then, when interpreted audio is available, the app will automatically select the right channel based on the user’ s language preference.

LUMENS INTEGRATION

OIP-N Series Encoder Decoder System Lumens is introducing the world’ s first IP encoders and decoders which support Dante AV-H, NDI|HX3 and SRT, in addition to other popular streaming protocols.

While there is a broad consensus that broadcasters and production teams will increasingly migrate to video over IP workflows, there is currently no single dominant format that meets the needs of every production. Presently, the industry relies on a range of standards to fulfil specific functions, whether it’ s for collaborative content creation, remote production, local video transmission or live streaming.

This multiplexity of technologies means on the one hand that technicians can implement a best of breed approach to each workflow. On the other side, most broadcast hardware (such as cameras, monitors, recorders and playback devices) is designed primarily for baseband (SDI or HDMI) workflows or to support a very narrow range of IP protocols. This can make it difficult to integrate legacy technology with IP workflows.

IP converters are therefore essential to bridge between baseband and IP networks, but until now, existing devices have been limited to encoding and decoding either a single format or a restricted range of protocols.

This has required broadcasters to invest in a variety of decoders and encoders, each designed for a particular IP workflow. Lumens OIP-N encoder and decoder series launches at NAB with incredibly broad video over IP format support in a single box, including RTSP, RTMP, SRT, NDI|HX3, NDI|HX2 and Dante AV-H standards.

This flexibility means that for many, the OIP-N series is the all-in-one encoder/decoder pair which will meet all their IP conversion needs. OIP-N is the tool which will instantly connect baseband equipment to diverse IP networks. For example, OIP-N60D decoders will enable legacy recorders, monitors and switchers to receive YouTube RTMP streams, RTSP video from IP cameras, live feeds from NDI PTZ units or incoming SRT streams from remote contributors. Conversely, the OIP-N40E unit can encode the output of virtually any digital camcorder or switcher for local transmission over NDI and Dante AV-H networks. It can

also stream content live to remote audiences over a CDN (content delivery network) or via a production solution such as vMix, OBS or Telestream.

Lumens’ pocket-sized encoders and decoders will be essential for broadcast technicians and kit rooms that need a portable and adaptable IP solution. The OIP-N decoder even supports IP to USB (UVC) conversion enabling IP streams to be converted for use with video conferencing software, making it suitable for use by journalists in the field and foreign correspondents.

In the studio and in production departments, OIP-N technology is optimized for fast installation and simple browser-based network management. Supporting PoE for easy integration, OIP-N60D even supports video wall output, perfect for multi-source monitoring and dynamic AV display. Designed for optimal video quality, OIP-N operates at very low latency, making it FOR suitable for demanding live production environMORE ments.

This allows a signal that normally can only be decoded by dedicated AV over IP decoders to be converted to other protocols, making connectivity possible to lecture capture platforms, recording and archiving solutions or content distribution

networks such as YouTube and Facebook live.

Backed by over 70 years of broadcast history, PlexusAV is researching, designing and now manufacturing solutions for the modern integrator with their customers in mind.

As a result, PlexusAV is building interoperable, compatible, adaptable and stress-free AV-over-IP solutions.

The human-centric design behind PlexusAV eliminates traditional restrictions behind ecosystems and project design.

Based on SMPTE ST 2110, PlexusAV eliminates the stress of selecting an AV-over-IP technology by leveraging a standards-based solution. Designed to enable the transport of compressed and uncompressed video, audio, and data over IP networks, PlexusAV’ s integration of IPMX specifications and standards addresses the professional AV industry’ s need for a single set of common, ubiquitous protocols that ensure interoperability for AV-over-IP.

SALAMANDER DESIGNS

Arc Table

At InfoComm 2023 on June 14th, Salamander Designs will announce the all-new Arc Table with a beautiful, functional curved shape made specifically to optimize today’ s business hybrid collaboration for all participants regardless of their location. Designed for use with most every modern meeting setup, technology and software, new Arc Table features a sleek, curved shape that encourages enhanced human engagement and inclusive participation. It was developed to work with all the latest enterprise meeting and conferencing technologies, such as Microsoft’ s Front Row software and other leading manufacturer systems.

What sets this table apart is, unlike traditional conference room furniture that’ s primarily tailored for face-toface interactions, the Arc Table enables a reimagined, modern room orientation that grants every participant clear visibility and fosters inclusivity whether they’ re locally or remotely located.

This Table is another breakthrough product for Salamander Designs. Instead of seating participants at a rectangular conference table facing each other, each turning to face cameras and displays which can be awkward, the Arc Table arranges seating in a natural semicircle, allowing everyone to see each other and face the monitor or multiple monitors placed in front of the table. All participants are about the same distance from the camera and gain equal sense of presence. Each Arc Table segment accommodates two users. Typical configurations are four to 10 users. As with all Salamander furniture, additional customized options are available to meet every enterprise need. The modular system can be expanded or reconfigured at any time, allowing for the most efficient use of available space.

The attractive Arc Table design includes premium features common to many Salamander furniture solutions and are core to company values. For example, the enclosed wire-loom cable management housing has a large capacity to hide cables that extend up the table leg from the floor to an under-table raceway. All cables, power strips and user privacy are concealed by an acoustic modesty panel that also provides unique sound absorption qualities. Each table section includes a Qi wireless charging location. Ad-

ditional charging and connectivity options are available.

With the new Arc Table, Salamander continues to lead the way in optimizing video conferencing and human interaction through innovative table shapes. In 2019, the company introduced the award-winning trapezoid-shaped Unifi Table Series, followed by the Infiniti “guitar pickshaped‚” Table in 2022, both of which elevate business team collaboration. This new Table adds to the company’ s meeting table offerings that include rectangular, boat, trapezoid and now semi-circular. Depending on the type of space, area available and user preference, the array of Salamander tables offer something for every business.

“Traditionally, conference rooms were arranged with long rectangular tables because most meetings were in person with everyone in one room,‚” said Scott Srolis, SVP of Sales and Marketing for Salamander Designs. “Today it’ s more common to include remote participants. Our new Arc Table addresses the modern workplace, technology, teams and requirements. The Arc Table gives hybrid meeting attendees equal footing and encourages active participation while delivering a more efficient use of meeting space, convenience and logistical simplicity.‚” Arc Tabletops are available in multiple materials and finishes and handcrafted in the company’ s 100 percent solar-powered, USA facility with an eye on sustainability.

Quick-ship selections are available, and a neutral Dove Gray color optimizes camera perforFOR mance and lowers glare. Other finish options MORE are available.

This allows for a consistent image across both floor and wall as well as investing in one product for a high-resolution immersive space for the entire environment.

SiliconCore is the only manufacturer to achieve this, made possible with its patented LISA encapsulation technology. This enhances the durability at PCB level to protect the individual LEDs from damage, extending the product lifetime while maintaining the LEDs’ beneficial characteristics and modular serviceability. This is achieved with no compromise to brightness or color reproduction.

As the only LED manufacturer designing its own driver chips, SiliconCore is uniquely positioned to maximize the efficiency and performance of each pixel. The manufacturer’s patented Common Cathode driver chip technology is the first to achieve high frame rates of 240Hz and refresh rates of 7680Hz, while delivering color uniformity and defined image reproduction.

These displays are also fitting for slow-motion cinematography and building active 3D environments, due to the brightness and high frame rates. In addition, the high brightness at 2000 nits and low greyscale performance produces a high dynamic range that takes full advantage of scenes requiring both bright and dark imagery simultaneously.

In addition, SiliconCore’ s Common Cathode technology powers individual LEDs in a more efficient way to reduce heat. This has enabled the creation of lower LED pixel

pitches for higher resolution displays that have 20-40 percent cooler operating temperatures, 40% higher brightness and a longer lifespan of over 100,000 hours, delivering market leading total cost of ownership and ROI in production environments where operating cost is crucial.

The benefits of virtual production using the SiliconCore 1.9mm XR LED Display has both creative and sustainable advantages. A one-day virtual production can result in up to 40 percent savings on travel and logistics, an additional 40 percent on operation costs and 4x reduction in carbon emissions.

By being able to create any environment from one location, shoots that would traditionally be multiday and multi-location can now become single day from one space.

SiliconCore is celebrating 25 years of innovation in 2023.

During this time, the company has become synonymous with industry firsts and for pushing the envelope in fine pixel pitch LED displays. This breakthrough for the broadcast industry is an example of this, FOR delivering the highest resolution LED floor MORE currently available with no overlay.

VISIONARY

5 Series AV-over-IP Endpoints The 5 Series, features 4K60 4:4:4 1GbE AV-over-IP encoders and decoders.

Building on the solid foundation of Visionary’ s revolutionary PacketAV Matrix 4 Series, which included the world’s first AV over IP endpoints with USB-C I/O for seamless soft-codec integration, the 5 Series raises the bar with and array of innovative features and enhanced performance.

4K60 4:4:4 Support: Unleash the full potential of ultra-high-definition video with support for 4K60 4:4:4 resolution, ensuring stunning image quality and color depth for the most demanding applications and environments.

Isochronous USB over IP: Webcam extension over IP, simplifying the setup and operation of video conferencing and remote collaboration.

Audio Return Channel (ARC) over IP: Simplify your audio setup with ARC support, which enables seamless transmission of audio signals between connected devices over IP networks, eliminating the need for additional cables or equipment.

Full Motion MJPEG Substream: Enhance remote monitoring and control with a full motion MJPEG substream, providing smooth, high-quality video previews for efficient, real-time monitoring of your AV system.

Visionary is unique in that we understand what it takes to develop an AV-over-IP endpoint that acts as a good network citizen. So many of the competitive endpoints on the market have neglected this. Additional features like VLAN tagging, LLDP, standard PoE power, and PoE pass through, make the 5 Series endpoints standout from the competition.

VLAN Tagging: In an AV-over-IP scenario, VLAN tagging can be used to segregate traffic (on a single LAN port) related to different audio-visual streams, ensuring smooth operation without interference. This is a very important feature for deployments at scale; competitors have completely missed this.

LLDP: allows for automated intelligent control of the endpoints in conjunction with 3rd party control systems while also enhancing device discoverability and simplifying network management.

Standard PoE Power: The use of standard PoE power

in the 5 Series endpoints vs. PoE+ or PoE++ required by competitive products on the market make Visionary’s endpoints more sustainable and ECO friendly while also allowing for the very important wallplate form-factor. Why is the wallplate so important? The market has come to rely on the many variations of HDBaseT wallplates available from numerous manufactures. As AV-over-IP is actively replacing and displacing HDBaseT technology very few AVover-IP manufacturers have been able to create a wallplate form-factor - mostly due to the heat generated by PoE+ and PoE++ requirements. Visionary’s 5 Series wallplates are the only wallplates on the market that can do 4K60 4:4:4 using standard PoE power and fit inside of a US electrical box mud ring without modification - saving integrators time and money.

PoE Passthrough: The 5 series endpoints will run on standard PoE power as stated above - however, if you provide PoE+ power to the endpoint it will pass standard PoE power to its ethernet expansion port (2nd LAN port). This allows for powering and network connections to an additional PoE device (Dante mic, control system touch panel) with a single cable run to the 5 Series endpoint.

Visionary’ s new 5 Series is designed to meet the ever-growing demands of the professional AV market. The 5 Series offers best-in-class performance, reliability and flexibility, making them the perfect solution for various applications, from conference rooms and huddle spaces to large-scale video distribution. Packed with new features and built on Visionary’ s legacy of FOR innovation, the 5 Series redefines the future of MORE professional AV solutions.

ADDER TECHNOLOGY

ADDERView CCS-MV 4228 Before the age of digitization, control room operators relied upon analog technology to monitor processes and procedures. The introduction of computers brought a deluge of more comprehensive information to operators. However, this data was still captured, processed, and presented within a number of disparate applications, each designed to monitor and control one aspect of the operation. To compensate for this disparity, operators initially increased the number of monitors on their workstation to match the number of sources, or applications, they wanted to see. This resulted in a chaotic and cluttered workstation with many monitors, keyboards, and mice, which was extremely unproductive when needing to make fast, and often mission-critical, decisions.

With the introduction of the ADDERView CCS-MV 4228 (CCS-MV 4228), Adder is tackling the constraints of the modern control room while maintaining this level of efficiency. Operators can achieve real-time access to multiple PCs through consolidated monitors without compromising the user experience.

Part of Adder’ s command and control portfolio, and designed to put users in total control, the new CCS-MV 4228, a desktop multi-viewer switch, delivers up to eight different video, audio, and USB signals to a single workstation in a user customizable window layout across one or two monitors. The CCS-MV 4228 delivers flexibility and choice for the user in the most demanding workspace environments.

Users can instantly take control of the target computer by simply moving the mouse between windows, providing the

experience of a single desktop.

As desktop real-estate continues to be compromised in busy control room environments, with increasing numbers of computers and more, larger, screens, the CCS-MV 4228 is designed to be a complete control room solution that eliminates desktop clutter and presents critical information the way the user needs it. The CCS-MV 4228 is designed by users, for users to combat pressures and ease the mental load by combining flexible and dynamic user experiences allowing operators the freedom and flexibility to leverage the product in the way they need, allowing the user to focus on the teas at hand rather than the technology. The multi-viewer switch empowers users to take total authority of the resources they need access to, when they need them, in 4K UHD resolution.

Designed with a high user adoption rate of features and functions at its core, the multi-viewer switch presents a fully configurable, color-coded, window display onscreen enabling users to quickly choose how data is presented.

Simply by moving the mouse cursor between windows users can switch between sources in real-time and without latency, meaning they can focus on the mission and not the technology.

ARTHUR HOLM

DynamicMCS Motorized HD-SDI video camera, microphone and loudspeaker for furniture integration.

It is important to make videoconference meetings as natural and comfortable as possible, and to minimize the feeling of remoteness. That’ s why it is essential to use a top-quality camera and to position it correctly (at eye level) to guarantee a natural eye contact effect, and to ensure perfect visibility.

The camera is a fundamental tool that bring us closer, one that creates a visual and emotional connection with other people. And the monitor is the focal point of the videoconference. Its location is key, and ideally, each person should have their own personal monitor, camera and microphone.

By using individual cameras, remote participants can see everyone in the meeting equally, creating an outstanding experience. Also, the camera placement at eye level ensures a natural position for face-to-face collaboration. But just as important is audio. So, it is essential to equip the room with microphones and speakers to ensure the best sound quality of the video conference.

And, to provide enhanced room flexibility and versatility, what better way than to be able to make this technology “disappear‚” inside the table when it is not needed?

DynamicMCS is a motorized high-resolution video cam-

era, microphone and loudspeaker for furniture integration, HD-SDI camera and an omnidirectional microphone with 1 audio output: balanced analogue via terminal block line array speakers (no phantom required).

The hybrid camera housing is built in steel and composite materials in a black, non-reflective finish. A touch button in the steel cover raises and lowers the camera, microphone and loudspeaker. The camera can be turned 45 degrees horizontally to each side (manually). DynamicMCS can also be remotely controlled via AHnet (RS-422), GPI or AHlink.

AURORA MULTIMEDIA

SKR-22T-XFR Ceiling Speaker The SKR 22T-XFR is the latest speaker innovation from Aurora. This lightweight speaker delivers clear sound with fidelity not normally found on typical ceiling speakers. Its ability to reproduce 180-degree sound field allows the use of only one speaker in a room for mono operation.

Installation is quick, less costly, and less messy as there is no cutting of ceiling tiles or back boxes to mount. Just drop the tile into a 2x2 ceiling grid, connect the speaker wire and you are done. For 4x2 ceiling grids, all that is required is to cut the tile in half and add a standard ceiling divider.

With full range of audio, not only do presenters sound clear and crisp, but the presentation material is produced with missing the lows or the highs compared to the typical 5- to 6-inch round ceiling speakers.

Add a 25-watt PoE+ Dante amplifier using the Aurora DTX-AMP25-M to further complete the room audio solution.

The DTX-AMP25-M can also take Line in for analog systems as well.

It is available for all dvLED panel brands on the market in any configuration and is suitable for installation as a wall or ceiling mount, or as a freestanding, mobile or fixed position floor stand. The most recent additions to the system which allow it to be used for curved dvLED installations, helped it to secure the Best Mounting Accessory award at the 2023 EMEA InAVation Awards.

The system is based around our System X modular components, which consist primarily of lightweight yet extremely durable extruded aluminum columns and rails, which are held in stock in multiple lengths and can be precision cut by B-Tech’ s engineers prior to shipping.

This allows a mounting frame of any size large or small to be put together without any custom fabrication, onto which our range of adjustable height and depth wall or floor plates can be added to suit the installation type.

These allow the frame to be perfectly leveled across every axis, to overcome uneven mounting surfaces, speeding up the install process and preventing unnecessary damage to the cabinets or the dvLED modules when they are fitted...Which are hung using our CNC machined Bobbins and cabinet specific mounting interfaces with precision alignment.

This system of stocked components gives B-Tech the ability to specify, quote and ship a complete dvLED solution faster than any other mounting solution provider.

Simple projects can be quoted within 30-minutes and the most complex projects featuring curved and corner walls can be quoted within 1-2 days, and supplied within a few weeks. Feedback from our integrator customers tells us that typically competitors take two weeks to quote and two to three months to supply similar solutions.

Simon Booth, AV Solutions Product Manager for Midwich

APAC commented recently, “This is Spectacular! I’ve had the pleasure of seeing this at Innovation House in Bracknell UK. B-Tech Mounting for Curved LED Video Walls. To sum it up in one word... Brilliant‚” Pre-assembly of major components by B-Tech engineers prior to shipping, and the flexibility added by the adjustable wall and floor plates, cuts down the work of the on-site installer by a huge margin and ensures our solution continues to be specified into projects.

The ECOsmart is offered in a compact ruggedized aluminum case that can be powered via a USB port on the computer source or with an external power supply. This flexibility makes the ECOsmart the perfect KVM extender where rack space is limited, and signals need to be distributed long distances away from the source. The compact form factor boasts full size features such as mouse-glide for using a single keyboard and mouse across multiple monitors; USB 2.0 for card readers; and other high-speed peripherals can be configured when combined with kvm-tec’ s FlexLine and media4Kconnect line of receiver extenders.

The ECOsmart uses kvm-tec’ s KVM-over-IP specialized technology, providing a huge time savings for system installers who normally must pre-configure network ports.

Units can be configured to support point-to-point connections via an on-screen display or through kvm-tec’ s Switching Manager software for system configuration and real-time diagnostics. The ECOsmart transmitter is compatible with standard network switches. When integrated as part of a KVM switch system, users get glitch-free, instantaneous switching —reducing eye strain, annoying video tearing, or USB mouse delay normally found with software-based KVM solutions.

Designing a system to integrate the ECOsmart can be accomplished in three basic steps. First, determine the number of computers or servers to be shared through the KVM network switch. Second, determine the number of displays and keyboards to be shared and finally, take a total count to determine the number of ports required for the KVM network switch. From here, the installer can determine the type of receiver units to incorporate using kvm-tec’ s FlexLine for media4Kconnect receiver units. Configuring a system simply requires all the extenders to be connected

to the system network switch to build the system design criteria with the Switching Manger software. Security and extender assignments can also be created, allowing levels of access permission by users.

Each ECOsmart transmitter can be connected to the network via standard CAT5e,6 cabling up to 150m/492ft away from the computer source. The small form factor utilizes a standard screw-lock DVI connector to prevent accidental removal of the video cable when used in a temporary setup such as mobile operations or tactical field operations. It is ideal for venues with limited rack space as well as deployments where users demand high resolution video and zero latency such as broadcasting, sports venues, post production, and control rooms.

Combining the ECOsmart with kvm-tec’ s Gateway2Go Windows App allows remote users to connect to any local unit on the kvm-tec switching network. Gateway2Go is connected to the internet via a VPN tunnel and can be connected to the ECOsmart via a secure port from any remote workspace. Mouse and keyboard data is authenticated in real-time and transmitted to the connected PC/ laptop securely.

JUPITER SYSTEMS

Canvas Mobile

Canvas Mobile a brand new feature of our multi award winning Canvas software.

Receiving a streamed source or streaming beyond the physical walls of your control room or command center used to be done for years the same way: a video/audio source encoding device connected to the internet, and a decoding system on the other end, often both requiring dedicated hardware for achieving such connection.

The rise of faster mobile connection speeds and coverage availability around the globe has shifted the trend for operating agents working in those control centers. Canvas web-based platform connects resources in the field and gives them a direct channel to contribute live video feeds when escalating issues require immediate attention.

Jupiter Systems has thought about securing such video streams with encryption, ensuring the processing hardware of such stream is powerful enough to handle it, and being able for both field and operating agent ease of use and stream manipulation.

With the newly released feature Canvas Mobile, video streams can now be captured in the field and displayed directly via LTE/5G connection securely to any capable Jupiter System’s Canvas-operated video wall or received now from any source on a mobile device in the field the same way, content chosen by the operator as an unbounded expansion of any control room. This allows experts back at headquarters or anywhere in the world to guide technicians in the field during crisis situations. Or the inverse — allows leadership to exit the confines of HQ and get in the field where they’ re more effective and still maintain visibility of

the whole situation.

Granularity in user content access, synchronization to active directories and other types of user databases, and encrypted connection just via web browser, even from a mobile device, without the need to install any dedicated client on it, are all benefits of the power of our most advance award winner Canvas Software.

Command centers and control rooms no longer have any physical limits, and addressing the need for field mobility is Jupiter System’s response to a world in movement and technical progress.

L-ACOUSTICS

L-Acoustics | L Series The Sound. The Shape. The Future: The all-new L Series is a testament to L-Acoustics’ continuing commitment to elevating the listening experience while curbing our environmental impact. L Series comprises two elements designed to work together or on their own: L2 above and L2D below. With unparalleled sound consistency over the audience and improved rejection everywhere else, the L Series contains industry-leading SPL per line length, weight, and visual size. The L Series is a full-range progressive line source element designed for medium to large-sized mobile and installation applications. Based on the Progressive Ultra-dense Line Source (PULS) technology, L Series offers an unprecedented combination of sonic performance, power-to-size, and power-to-weight ratios with ease of deployment.

Housing eight 3-inch compression drivers loaded on DOSC waveguides, eight 10-inch drivers, and four 12-inch drivers mounted on the sides, L2 delivers broad bandwidth with reinforced LF contour and high output capacity. The combination of high component density in a single element, which ensures closer proximity between them, and the 16 channels of DSP and amplification provided by the LA7.16(i) produces unprecedented control and sonic consistency.

L2 is shaped in a progressive mechanical arrangement producing 10 degrees of vertical control and features four user-adjustable modules of Panflex to increase horizontal coverage flexibility. Up to four L2 or three L2 and one L2D element can be assembled to form a fixed J-shape line source via a captive rigging system that automatically

locks securely without pins. The absence of inter-element angles assures errorless setup, making deployment three to five-fold faster than systems with similar power. Combining a smaller, ergonomic size and transportation accessories facilitates on-site deployment and reduces truck and storage space needs.

L Series is driven by the new LA7.16 high-resolution touring amplified controller that supports L2 and L2D with 16 channels of high-power amplification and processing. LA7.16 comes in a new LA-RAK III touring rack offering 48 channels of amplification in a Milan AVB-ready package with more than 60,000 watts of power in 9U. L2 is also calibrated to satisfy a significant market for service providers: audience geometries from 1,000 to 12,000 in a stereo format.

With an immersive setting calling for an L-ISA deployment, this audience size can go from 2,500 to 25,000.

The L Series revolutionizes loudspeaker deployment with an even speedier efficiency due to a single cable connector and pin-less auto-lock rigging system; one L2 or L2D provides the same contour as four full-range line sources in a format that is 46 percent smaller and 40 percent lighter. Holger Schader, senior consultant concert touring and special events at Solotech, who is touring with Helene Fischer, said about L2, “Our L2 system uses a fraction of the truck space as an equivalent K1/ K2 system would have. We used just one truck instead of two trucks for the audio on this tour. Load-in is also easier and more fail-safe because we FOR only have four elements to connect instead MORE of 16.”

MARTIN AUDIO

FlexPoint Series Loudspeakers Offering state-of-the-art acoustic design and packed with technical innovations, the FlexPoint series from Martin Audio sets a new benchmark in performance and versatility for compact, standalone loudspeakers. The family of point source speakers are aimed at shorter-throw applications, ensuring that a different collection of live sound and installation applications can now enjoy Martin Audio’ s signature sound.

FlexPoint systems have been created to deliver the very highest quality sound that will be sure to match the expectations of prestige venues and top-flight touring artists.

Meanwhile, their passive two-way configuration heeds the need to reduce running costs and amplifier count.

Comprising five models—all with highly flexible deployment—the FlexPoint series covers a vast range of professional applications, from live sound reinforcement, theatre sound and corporate AV to distributed sound systems, high-end installation projects and immersive environments.

From the miniature FP4 to the powerful FP15, FlexPoint loudspeakers are compact and discreet — providing ultimate clarity, detail and coverage at all sound levels without affecting sight lines or detracting from venue architecture.

Martin Audio’ s renowned Coaxial Point Source technology is the beating heart of FlexPoint systems. It improves summation of the LF and HF sections at the crossover point, resulting in a smoother and more consistent frequency response off-axis.

Additionally, FlexPoint coaxial drivers exhibit exemplary dispersion patterns thanks to Martin Audio’ s innovative acoustic technology. This starts by incorporating a twostage waveguide within the magnet structure. The first stage of the waveguide blends the circular exit of the HF compression driver into a slot exit. The second stage merges the slot exit into a specially contoured LF cone which determines the overall coverage pattern. This approach achieves constant directivity characteristics in the horizontal plane while also avoiding a separate add-on horn which would impede the wavefront from the cone and cause irregularities in the frequency response, both on and

off-axis. A further benefit FlexPoint receives from this approach comes from the perimeter of the cone acting as the horn mouth, which ensures that pattern control extends to a lower frequency than would be possible with a smaller add-on horn. Finally, while many traditional through-thepole designs can suffer from high frequency beaming, the FlexPoint two-stage waveguide maintains wide constant horizontal coverage out to very high frequencies.

FlexPoint enclosures are constructed from birch plywood and finished in hardwearing paint to give a professional appearance for installation or live performances. Steel grilles with a triple-layer polyester backing resist dust and water ingress to IP54 environmental rating.

Each FlexPoint model (with the exception of the miniature FP4) features a multi-angle enclosure that facilitates either portrait or landscape orientation. This is achieved by rotating the driver within the enclosure. To make this operation quick and easy, and to ensure it can be completed on the fly without the need for tools, the grille is secured by Martin Audio’ s proprietary quick-release latches, and the driver is fixed to the baffle by means of captive release clamps. Loosening these by hand allows the driver to be quickly rotated through 90 degrees, ready to be retightened.

Further features that ensure the entire FlexPoint family meet the day-to-day needs of AV professionals include a wide range of mounting options and accessories, compatibility with Martin Audio’ s DISPLAY 3 prediction and modeling software and flexible options for amplification and electronics.

This unparalleled combination of innovation, flexibility and sound quality ensure that the FOR FlexPoint series sets the standard for modern MORE passive point source loudspeakers.

VISIONARY

5 Series AV-over-IP Endpoints The 5 Series, features 4K60 4:4:4 1GbE AV-over-IP encoders and decoders.

Building on the solid foundation of Visionary’ s revolutionary PacketAV Matrix 4 Series, which included the world’s first AV over IP endpoints with USB-C I/O for seamless soft-codec integration, the 5 Series raises the bar with and array of innovative features and enhanced performance.

4K60 4:4:4 Support: Unleash the full potential of ultra-high-definition video with support for 4K60 4:4:4 resolution, ensuring stunning image quality and color depth for the most demanding applications and environments.

Isochronous USB over IP: Webcam extension over IP, simplifying the setup and operation of video conferencing and remote collaboration.

Full Motion MJPEG Substream: Enhance remote monitoring and control with a full motion MJPEG substream, providing smooth, high-quality video previews for efficient, real-time monitoring of your AV system.

Visionary is unique in that we understand what it takes to develop an AV-over-IP endpoint that acts as a good network citizen. So many of the competitive endpoints on the market have neglected this. Additional features like VLAN tagging, LLDP, standard PoE power, and PoE pass through, make the 5 series endpoints standout from the competition.

VLAN Tagging: In an AV-over-IP scenario, VLAN tagging can be used to segregate traffic (on a single LAN port) related to different audio-visual streams, ensuring smooth operation without interference. This is a very important feature for deployments at scale; competitors have completely missed this.

LLDP: Allows for automated intelligent control of the endpoints in conjunction with 3rd party control systems while also enhancing device discoverability and simplifying network management.

Standard PoE Power: The use of standard PoE power in the

5 Series endpoints vs. PoE+ or PoE++ required by competitive products on the market make Visionary’s endpoints more sustainable and ECO friendly while also allowing for the very important wallplate form-factor. Why is the wallplate so important? The market has come to rely on the many variations of HDBaseT wallplates available from numerous manufactures. As AV-over-IP is actively replacing and displacing HDBaseT technology very few AV-over-IP manufacturers have been able to create a wallplate form-factor - mostly due to the heat generated by PoE+ and PoE++ requirements.

Visionary’s 5 series wallplates are the only wallplates on the market that can do 4K60 4:4:4 using standard PoE power and fit inside of a US electrical box mud ring without modification - saving integrators time and money.

PoE Passthrough: The 5 Series endpoints will run on standard PoE power as stated above - however, if you provide PoE+ power to the endpoint it will pass standard PoE power to its ethernet expansion port (2nd LAN port). This allows for powering and network connections to an additional PoE device (Dante mic, control system touch panel) with a single cable run to the 5 Series endpoint.

Visionary’ s new 5 Series is designed to meet the ever-growing demands of the professional AV market. The 5 Series offers best-in-class performance, reliability and flexibility, making them the perfect solution for various applications, from conference rooms and huddle spaces to large-scale video distribution. Packed with new features and built on Visionary’ s legacy of FOR innovation, the 5 Series redefines the future of MORE professional AV solutions.

Atmosphere AZMP Series

The new Atmosphere AZMP Series of DSPs from AtlasIED, including the AZMP4 (4-zone) and AZMP8 (8-zone) models, integrate a digital signal processor with built-in premium amplification to help customers consolidate products and streamline system design. Combining a DSP and multi-channel amplifier in a single chassis allows users to reduce the amount of hardware required for their audio system. Reducing equipment saves end users money on hardware and installation time, and potentially on power draw.

The entire Atmosphere platform has been purpose-built to be easy to install and use, and the new AZMP series products are no different. Integrators that provide ongoing service for customers can remotely monitor and control the AZMP using a mobile device (virtual controller). Additionally the virtual controller allows integrators and users to manage volume and audio sources for different zones, saving time and costs. The simple-to-use interface greatly reduces the

need for system training, in some cases eliminating the need entirely.

The AZMP includes the latest Atmosphere 3.0 software, which builds upon the platform’ s existing embedded intelligence and allows for continuous monitoring and supervision of system health and performance. A new SelfTest feature measures system performance over time and provides notifications of any degradation of loudspeaker load. Atmosphere 3.0 also introduces sound masking, which enhances speech privacy and reduces distracting noise.

Combining Atmosphere 3.0’ s new features with the new AZMP Series helps simplify installation and operation.

Finally, automation features built into the new Atmosphere AZMP products can automatically adjust volume through ambient noise compensation technology. Because the AZMP products continually learn and adapt to changes in the environment, Atmosphere can use AI to analyze and respond to predictable behaviors and change volume based on desired settings.

MEYER SOUND

2100-LFC Low-Frequency Control Element The Meyer Sound 2100-LFC low-frequency control element extends the power and advanced technologies of the PANTHER large-format linear line array loudspeakers down to the lowest limits of the audible spectrum. By pairing a single, all-new 21-inch driver with four voice coils to a potent class-D amplifier, the 2100LFC produces an acoustic output nearly equal to the company’ s dual 18-inch 1100-LFC yet it realizes this comparable performance in a loudspeaker that is much lighter and narrower.

The 2100-LFC also incorporates the same input module as PANTHER as standard, offering both a Milan AVB endpoint for digital audio and monitoring telemetry plus an analog input for backward compatibility with existing systems.

Because it is a self-powered system with an AC connection, the 2100-LFC can offer active cooling of the voice coil and magnet to assure linear response even with demanding and protracted program material.

As with PANTHER, the 2100-LFC was conceived and engineered to meet the new demands of contemporary “green‚” touring and installation, where reduced size and weight must be coupled with increased energy efficiency.

The cabinet exterior dimensions were designed to allow an efficient truck pack in both North American and European trailers. The increased efficiency of the class D amplifiers reduces power demand to lower long-term costs in perma-

nent installations.

In addition, as all AV technology transitions to a networked environment, PANTHER and the 2100-LFC now comprise the first large-scale, full-bandwidth line array system to offer Milan-protocol digital audio coupled with comprehensive monitoring telemetry, all connected directly to each individual loudspeaker. This total networked capability, when coupled with Meyer Sound’ s new Nebra connection and monitoring software, enables fast system configuration and comprehensive monitoring of all system parameters.

The initial release is focused on fast and intuitive connectivity for endpoints in Milan AVB networks, including Meyer Sound’ s PANTHER large-format linear line array loudspeaker, three ULTRA-X series point source loudspeakers, and the USW‚Äë112P compact subwoofer. Nebra also provides comprehensive system monitoring directly via the AVB network or, for other Meyer Sound products, through the existing RMS network via the RMServer. Nebra also will provide connectivity for Meyer Sound’ s Galileo GALAXY Network Platform and for third-party network devices using the Milan protocol.

Nebra’ s connectivity tools are designed for fast, trouble-free configuration and connection of complex Milan-based audio systems. “Many current audio-over-IP solutions are heavily text-based,‚” notes Andy Davies, Meyer Sound’ s senior product manager. “Here, by displaying connections and monitoring in a clear visual layout, the system overview is much easier to understand.

Connections are shown as graphical wires offering a clear picture of the system, while device icons change color to quickly identify any potential points of failure.‚” Nebra leverages the latest in sensor fusion technology to simplify the task of monitoring large and highly complex networked audio systems. Disparate system health infor-

mation is collected from all connected devices, with sensor data combined from multiple sources and displayed in one simple summary.

“Nebra is unique in the way it applies software tools to groups and identifies large numbers of Milan endpoint devices, presenting an intuitive workflow when making a large number of connections, such as with PANTHER deployments. Touring sound users will benefit from the ability to quickly reconfigure systems for different venues, while installed sound users will benefit from a clear, easy-to-understand monitoring screen that operators can grasp with minimal training.”
