New platform for building automation The new Smart Home Joint Initiative by Cisco, ABB, Bosch and LG was introduced for the first time last night to an international B2B audience.

The project offers a common platform for data exchange across multiple appliances and disciplines. During the Opening Keynote Address of ISE 2014.

Cisco’s Dr Dirk Schlesinger said the project was a reaction to a market ripe for consolidating and finding a common language.

“The ‘internet of everything’ and its physical manifestation, the smart

InfoComm offers free vouchers Free and discounted InfoComm University training is being offered to all ISE 2014 showgoers. On receiving a show badge, all attendees are awarded a voucher for two free InfoComm Professional Development courses, plus the opportunity to purchase additional course vouchers at a discounted rate.

The free courses, which run on a first-come, first-served basis, include a special series of courses designed for education technology managers, including classes on designing learning spaces, lecture-capture systems and smart education facilities Once you have chosen a course you’d like to attend, simply present the voucher at the door.

Dirk Schlesinger: kick-starting a market

home, has never taken off as hoped, mainly because of siloed solutions, too many standards which were not cross compatible and too many suppliers. As a customer you never had investment security.

“This whole platform idea to kick-start a market is not an obvious business model,” conceded Schlesinger. “It’s not set up to generate huge profits. The real value of the platform is to enable business for its partners.”

The platform is proposing the integration of existing protocols like KNX or LCN, bringing them

together to create a holistic solution. It would allow a disparate kitchen made up of a Bosch fridge, Miele range and a Whirlpool dryer to connect for energy savings, cross-domain and cross-company.

“We have seen domain-specific solutions not work in the past, either only heating or security or access control,” said Schlesinger.

“Attempts to drive a company or provider-specific solution haven’t worked either. We should allow competing companies to use the same platform to bring their services to the end-customer.”

Smart building: abundant opportunities With buildings accounting for some 41% of primary energy consumption – more than either transportation or industry – much still remains to be done to harness the power of technology in improving the efficiency of the built environment.

That was one of the major messages delivered by Jim Sinopoli during the keynote presentation at the third Smart Building Conference yesterday. Sinopoli, managing principal of engineering and design company Smart Buildings, began by pointing out that the world’s first smart buildings, with their ability to maintain a constant temperature of 68°F, were the Pyramids.

Facilities management, he implied, remains a subject that is under-valued and under-resourced.

“Data mining and data analytics are now commonplace in commercial organisations such as

Jim Sinopoli: Facilities management remains under-valued and under-resourced

Amazon,” he noted, “but when it comes to smart buildings, not so much.” Those same vast amounts of data exist to enable building performance to be understood and improved, he said, yet there are few users who take advantage of the opportunity the data presents.

Demonstrating what can be achieved – especially in terms of monetising the benefits of the

smart management of buildings – Sinopoli cited a trial project undertaken by Microsoft at its world headquarters. The vast campus features no fewer than 30,000 pieces of mechanical equipment, and consumes around two million kWh of energy each day – and, in the pilot project alone, was able to demonstrate savings of $1 million each year.

CEDIA training at ISE: “An awful lot going on” ISE 2014 sees no fewer than 13 training courses on offer from CEDIA, covering almost every conceivable topic of relevance to the residential installation market. “From designing residential energy management systems to the importance of documentation to the impact of 4K technology – there’s an awful lot going on, and it’s an excellent mixture of technical and business training,” said Matt Dodd, director of Education for CEDIA Region 1.

“And,” he continued, “delegates can sign up on the day – there’s no need to preregister.” He is also delighted to see how many countries are represented on the courses, taking advantage of the opportunity ISE delivers.

He is also keen to promote the learning opportunities to be found at the Residential Solutions Theatre (Stand: 7-W180), a new venture for ISE which sees a broad selection of industry participants presenting on subjects as diverse as home automation standards and using science to solve sound quality problems.

Dodd is a man on a mission – a mission to transform CEDIA training. “As CEDIA has grown, the way that we’ve historically done training was becoming more difficult to sustain,” he said. “We’re developing structures, processes and standards to change that.”

Building dreams with Improve IMPROVE The designer of the ISE Residential and Commercial Solutions Theatres in Halls 7 and 8 has called on integrators and installers to adopt a more holistic, flexible and human-centric approach to design.

As the owner of a technical company, Improve CEO Antoinette Wijffels is a technology fan, “but sometimes we forget that humans also need other things in life, and it’s a nice idea to integrate their values.

“We are sometimes out of balance as a whole sector, and it is

nice to bring a bit of balance back in,” she said. Rather than have 10 projectors, say, “sometimes we can get away with four”, by adding other things like decorations.

She advises integrators “not only to think in numbers (such as 10 projectors), but to think about the whole picture. What does your client really want to achieve with this equipment? By displaying more freedom in their designs, “they allow the customers the ability to build their own dreams”.

Bigger show, more content Content is the big driver for ISE 2014, according to Mike Blackman, ISE managing director. The 11th edition of the show promises to be the largest yet, by any measure.

“We’ve grown, by 6%, up to 952 exhibitors,” said Blackman. “That’s a big increase, especially in these times.” Pre-registration figures had not been released but “it’s definitely got a lot larger. We’re expecting great feedback [from exhibitors].”

According to Blackman, ISE 2014 features a lot more content beyond the exhibitor booths. There are new show features, such as the Immersive Sound Experience and the Commercial and Residential Solutions Theatres, and more Professional Development

sessions. “InfoComm International has had more sign-ups than they’ve ever had before for educational sessions and I expect

CEDIA will show a similar result,” said Blackman.

He is also enthusiastic at the reception to the pre-show events,

which took place yesterday. “There were almost 170 attendees at our third Smart Building Conference, which was really great, really positive. Smart Building as a brand is getting very strong,” he said.

Blackman also spoke highly of the inaugural Investor Showcase event [see page 6] to better connect investors with manufacturers. He explained: “It’s not really about what it brings to this ISE, it’s what it will bring in four or five years’ time, because these are companies that are going to be our customers. What we are trying to do here is build the forward stream for our business. We’re investing in our future; indeed, we’re investing in our industry.”

There’s also a greater focus on helping attendees from nontechnical backgrounds to get the most from the show, through hosted buyer programmes, which bring groups of end-users to the show, as well as technical tours.

“For 20% of our attendees this is their first time at ISE. It’s a big show and we need to help some of the end-users focus, by doing things that are very specific to what they are interested in.”

Specialist partners play a valuable role here. “When it comes to specific areas, we like to get specialists in to help us talk to those attendees – people like SCHOMS [in education] and the AV User Group. For the first time the Sports Video Group is having a conference at ISE. Partners such as these allow us to deliver bespoke experiences for focused groups of end-customers.”

ROLAND SYSTEMS GROUP The VR-3EX, the latest addition to the VR Series of AV mixers, is being launched at ISE 2014. Aimed at live production, web streaming and recording, the single unit incorporates a video switcher, audio mixer, touchscreen preview monitor and streaming-ready USB output. Expanding the feature set of the Roland VR-3, the VR-3EX boasts four HDMI inputs, two HDMI outputs, with built-in scaling and resolutions up to 1080p and WUXGA. It also features HDCP support, a full 18-channel digital audio mixer with effects and over 200 video transitions and effects. An additional HDMI output is included to add an external preview monitor if required.

CEDIA training Continued from front cover> Particularly close to Dodd’s heart is providing members greater flexibility in fulfilling their training needs, allowing them to identify specific topics of interest rather than requiring them to choose an entire course, all of which may not be relevant. “It’s important to recognise,” he noted, “that small businesses can’t afford to dedicate extended periods of time to training. And – it needs to be cost-effective.”

Dodd is also enthused by what he calls ‘proof of competency’ training, and has been working with the Electrical Contractors Association to provide certification for those working on a multi-disciplinary site.

He also notes the close relationship between technical understanding and profitability.

Investor Showcase: connecting two worlds “Dragon’s Den for grown-ups.”

That’s how Jean-Michel Deligny, managing director of Go4Venture Advisors, views the inaugural ISE Investor Showcase event, which took place at the RAI yesterday.

ISE exhibitors were able to pitch to investment heavyweights from among Go4Venture’s network, a mixture of strategic and financial investors including Intel Capital, Qualcomm Ventures and Bosch.

Following a welcome by Deligny and Mike Blackman, MD of ISE, the tone was set for the Showcase by a keynote address from Miles Kirby, managing director of Qualcomm Ventures, and an investor panel discussion. Both concentrated on

the topics of greater connection, posing questions such as how corporate and financial investors can work smartly to create great investment outcomes and make companies successful.

“It’s definitely something the ecosystem is trying to get better at,” said Deligny. “We’re seeing syndicates of corporate and financial investors pooling together to create successes. The technology isn’t necessarily the most complex part of it – getting it to market is really tough. For the investors it’s been a way to discover ISE.” The main route to that discovery of course, was the presentations

The Investor Panel discussed how great investment outcomes can be achieved

themselves. Eleven companies were able to showcase their business for eight minutes each.

The judging panel of investors then had a five-minute Q&A to learn more about each business

and deliberate over the best company and best presentation.

The results can be seen at the ISE Investor Showcase website (www.ise.go4venture.com).

“We also had three companies doing a shorter ‘elevator pitch’ to the panel while other companies, who were not presenting, showed demos at the back of the room,” added Deligny. “These were simply those we felt were not quite ready for ‘prime time’, from an investor’s viewpoint, but were doing some interesting and innovative work in product development. They got to see how people reacted to their story, how their message went down.”

‘Avoid dead end installations’ Audioforum warns AUDIOFORUM Anyone looking to install an IP media network should make sure it supports AES67, to simplify adding future products. “If it doesn’t support AES67 it is probably a dead end. It will work, but it cannot connect,” said Andreas Hildebrand, ALC NetworX senior product manager for RAVENNA, at yesterday’s Audioforum, organised

by Connessioni.

AES67 “addresses an interoperable professional means of streaming audio over networks” using uncompressed PCM, “so it can be used in TV or radio production, and anything else that requires high quality and stable

quality,” explained AES standards manager Mark Yonge.

There are already several

proprietary systems in use, “but standardising benefits customers and sellers”, he said. AES67 is

similar to AVB, “but ours is aimed at professional streaming”.

“The big win for customers is that there is a possibility that network streaming can replace traditional infrastructure cabling with IT-style cabling, which is simpler, faster and cheaper to install and change,” added Yonge.

AES67 only addresses interoperability within IP networks, so it can be added to existing standards (which go way beyond it in functionality), such as Dante or QLAN. RAVENNA is already compatible, as is Livewire 2.0. “[These standards] are all based on IP, but they can’t talk to each other,” due to proprietary clocking synchronisation or other issues,

explained Hildebrand.

The EBU and SMPTE are also working on a general scheme for IT-based systems for TV production with which AES67 is compatible.

RAVENNA, the open, licencefree IP-based audio and video technology introduced in 2011, is now supported by about 25 companies, offering mixing desks, recorders, microphone interfaces, DAWs, and now a prototype speaker (Genelec). It has focused on broadcast initially, but can also be used in the installation market, which is why ALC NetworX is exhibiting at ISE for the first time.

4K visual presentation solution debuts Receivers and switches

boost distribution range

SONY Vision Presenter is a new 4K visual presentation solution from Sony.

Launched at ISE 2014, the Vision Presenter makes it possible to display data from multiple sources – videos, still images, presentation slides, websites, and videoconferencing – as part of a collaborative environment.

Claimed to be extremely easy to operate using either a conventional wireless mouse or tablet device, Sony’s Vision Presenter viewing system is able to select a layout pattern of the user’s choice, displaying information from various sources at the same time.

Interactive operation can be performed regardless of where the system is located. For example, shuffling content by dragging and dropping to a main screen from source screens or maximising main screen size to

focus on one content source can be done instantly.

Using Sony’s professional projectors equipped with edgeblending functionality, the Vision Presenter allows images from two projectors to be ‘tiled’ to create displays up to 3552 x 1080. It is also able to control Sony’s PTZ camera SRG series (SRG-120DH, SRG-300H) and BRC series (BRC-H900, BRC-Z700, BRCZ330) through a remote-control function pop-up on the screen.

The Vision Presenter can control the pan/tilt/zoom of the camera position, allowing users to present live video images on the screen. Without interrupting the flow of a presentation, Sony says that it is possible to insert live video effectively and pre-set a camera position so it can be called up anytime. This function can also be performed remotely by tablet devices.

Stand: 1-H95

An audio distribution system and two HDBaseT receivers to accommodate a wide range of installation options are joining Savant’s multi-room media distribution family.

Savant’s new HDBaseT receivers are designed to connect the full HDBaseT 5Play feature set in any room, including video, audio, control, power and Ethernet over a single Cat5e/6 cable. The receivers are available as an in-wall solution or as a slender standalone module, designed to fit in the space between a flat panel display and the wall or mounting surface behind it. The functionality of both versions is identical, allowing integrators a greater range of installation options.

The company claims its new HDBaseT receivers, paired with any of the new SmartLink HDMI matrix video switches, will deliver convenient,

cost-effective audio and high definition video distribution on a single cable path.

The new SmartAudio SSA-3220 32 x 20 switch is a distributed audio solution housed in one compact 2U rack-mountable design. The SSA-3220 includes 16 analogue and 16 digital selectable inputs, 20 outputs (16 analogue plus four S/PDIF) for passing analogue line-level audio to an external amplifier. Both analogue and digital audio conversion capabilities are standard and both analogue and digital audio are available simultaneously on each output for maximum flexibility.

The company says the broad range of selectable analogue and digital inputs make it simple to manage a large number of audio sources. The SSA-3220 incorporates control of volume, balance and a seven-band equaliser per zone of analogue and digital audio.

Bosch, SSL, Yamaha welcome AES67 adoption A trio of exhibitors at ISE 2014, including show newcomer Solid State Logic (SSL), have welcomed the decision to incorporate the fastrising AES67 standard into Dante media networking technology.

Published last September, AES67 has become the subject of considerable industry excitement, particularly in the integrator community. The new standard provides interoperability recommendations for professional quality audio networking in the areas of synchronisation, media clock identification, network transport, encoding and streaming, and session description.

Created by Audinate, Dante is an increasingly popular choice for audio networking in commercial installation, broadcast and live performance.

AES67 transport will be incorporated in Dante via a firmware update to be released to OEMs within 12 months.

Although specific intentions regarding Dante/AES67 implementation have yet to emerge, the announcement has been warmly welcomed by Dante licensees including SSL, Focusrite, Bosch and Yamaha. Niall Feldman, director of new products at SSL, said: “Solid State Logic

L-R: Bill Scott, Bosch Communications Systems; Lee Ellison, Audinate; Terry Holton, Yamaha Commercial Audio

fully supports Audinate’s plan to provide an AES67 option for Dante devices. Interoperability was a primary decision in SSL adopting Dante for network I/O products and we are pleased the addition of AES67 will add further devices to

the hundreds of compatible products already available.”

Bill Scott, vice president of engineering and technology at Bosch Communications Systems, was similarly encouraging. “We are pleased Dante will incorporate

AES67 as a transport option in the future to meet our customer desire to have an open IP Layer 3-based solution,” he said.

Audinate already implements a Layer 3 IP-based transport based on UDP (User Datagram Protocol); the addition of AES67 adds RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) to the options list. Since the existing Dante transport and AES67 both use routable Layer 3 IP protocols, Dante can operate in routed networks, spanning multiple IP subnets using either protocol.

The latest Cyclone Hush models can reduce projector noise to a whisper in a meeting room or classroom, without the need to

08 thedaily 2014

build a projector booth. Tempest now has Hush enclosures for every application.

Using its Goldilocks system, the Tempest enclosures can eliminate overheating and condensation and are available in sizes for projectors from 3,000 to 40,000 lumens. It ensures that the environment around the projector is never too hot or too cold. “We never allow condensation to form,” said Tim Burnham,

Tempest’s president. “Those are the keys to successful outdoor projection – and indoor noise attenuation too.

“We are protecting projectors North of the Arctic Circle and in desert locations. We even have enclosures right on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City where the projectors survived the full force of Hurricane Sandy without a scratch.”

For installations where access is limited, the enclosures can be

fitted with a Tempest RDM interface for remote monitoring of all environmental and electrical parameters, allowing the monitoring and control of many projectors over a simple RS485 link from a central location.

Tempest projector enclosures are compatible with all major projectors and do not compromise a manufacturer’s warranty.

A few words on WATCHNET ExhibitorView >> DATATON

Julian Rutland, product strategy and planning director, Canon Europe

Customers grow more discerning Manufacturers must respond to end-users’ demands for flexibility and price efficiency The most significant trend that is shaping the industry today is the emergence of a more discerning customer. As we head into ISE 2014, end-users are rightly becoming more demanding. They increasingly need AV solutions that fit into their changing ways of working. The result is not only a need for a range of projection solutions, but also the insight and consultation skills

Venturing into LED screens MODE-AL In a departure from the business with which it is most closely associated – designing and manufacturing digital signage support structures for the DOOH industry – Mode-AL is showcasing its own customdesigned LED panels. This fusion brings together two key components for the digital signage industry, the company says, enabling it to provide system integrators with a onestop shop for the purchase of digital signage systems.

In another first, Mode-AL is

also introducing what it claims is the world’s first 3.0mm pitch LED panel with front access. This unique and patented system enables service of any size LED wall from the front, removing the requirement for large service ways or complex mechanisms to allow access to the rear of the tiles.

“We have seen the slow movement of LED digital signage into the interior DOOH market over the last two years and we have been waiting until the

square metre price point of the LED panels equals the equivalent price of the high bright (700+ nits) LCD screens per square metre,” said managing director David Lees. “Mode-AL can now meet these criteria with a 3.0mm pitch LED panel, providing for the first time a credible, alternative to large arrays of LCD screens.”

Xpressive Android digital signage BROADSIGN INTERNATIONAL Following its announcement in February 2013, the Androidbased BroadSign Xpress smart player became available to customers in September and is being shown throughout ISE 2014.

The media player marks BroadSign’s first foray into the digital signage hardware solutions market. The company announced its first large-scale order in the autumn, with a request for more than 1,000 units coming from a client who recently subscribed to the company’s Software as a Service offering.

Following the release of BroadSign Xpress, 200 participants across the globe were given a beta player as part of the BroadSign Trailblazer Program. Recipients tested the smart player throughout the duration of the programme and BroadSign incorporated the resulting feedback into its final product design.

The media player runs on Android and BroadSign says it was created to eliminate the challenge of selecting a good long-term hardware solution and to reduce the cost of hardware per deployment.

BroadSign Xpress supports 1080p HD video (with a firmware upgrade), HTML5, Adobe Flash, multiframe, interactivity, and wired and wireless connectivity.

It offers 1GB memory and 16GB SSD internal storage.

4K: where are we now?

The momentum behind the new Ultra HD format appears to be unstoppable – but the availability of suitable products before blanket standardisation does bring its share of challenges To some extent the upcoming transition from HD to 4K is similar to what happened in the early HD days. It took a while before the market standardised on 1080i and 720p resolutions, and before the technology matured enough for HD content to be created economically. It also took a long time until consumer HD flat displays were cheap enough for mass-market adoption.

The 4K transition is, however, different. The consumer market may, in some aspects, be ready before the professional market. The first generation of 4K consumer displays is available and prices are decreasing. Although the latest versions of DisplayPort and HDMI standards define various 4K/UHD ‘flavours’, the technology, in some ways, is ahead of the standardisation work, mainly in the broadcast world but also in the professional AV and consumer sphere.

The ITU-R BT.2020 recommendation is an UHDTV reference document for broadcast applications. UHD key parameters are 3840 x 3160 resolution, progressive scanning, and frame rates ranging from 23.97fps to 120fps. In the beginning, it seems that for production applications, intermediate frame rates such as 50, 59.94 and 60fps may be a good compromise between a sufficient

temporal resolution and what current technology economically permits.

We feel that 4K could be the next logical step for our pro-AV industry, especially in markets such as military, visualisation, simulation and other verticals. It is likely that content producers will be under pressure to supply 4K content soon. Until the market matures, it may be a challenge to select the correct 4K equipment.

At Apantac we are designing, manufacturing and selling multiviewers, as well as 4K-ready signal processing solutions. During this early phase, our approach focuses on repurposing/ expanding existing technology to address some of the early needs. One example is to use existing multiviewers with specific FW and SW to drive four quadrant UHD displays at 50/60Hz. We are running a 4K/UHD demonstration on our ISE 2014 stand which will give you a taste of what we can accomplish when it comes to 4K, and how we can support your visual monitoring and display requirements to ensure maximum impact for your professional AV application.

We will appreciate your feedback during the show, as this will help turn technology into new products.

HTE has designed a new, top-end luxury 18-seat home theatre, which it has installed at ISE 2014 so that visitors “can experience and feel our dynamic and sophisticated design in a true high-performance and luxurious set-up. This is a first of its kind to ever be built for a show,” said HTE founder Maurizio Conti.

It combines the warm colours of hardwood floor with an elegant mix of silk and acoustically transparent fabrics that guarantee correct sound diffusion throughout the room. The wall structure consists of aluminium

stud and various panels at different depths, with four recessed housings where niches or fixed panels can be positioned according to a customer’s preference.

The set-up includes Wisdom Audio’s Line Source speakers, and HTE engineers used spatial acoustic optimisation to take into account their high SPL reproduction to design and select the correct acoustical environment. A combination of diffusers and three specific absorbers are used to control all acoustical aspects while remaining totally hidden in the furniture structure.

What are the hottest trends in residential solutions at the moment?

‘In the residential solutions world, products that make it easy for consumers to control their homes and easily access their content regardless of its source are getting more and more attention. Consumers want all the features that new systems can offer, but they expect integration and simplification of very complex capabilities.

Kaleidescape’s role in the value chain is that we take the complexity out of movie consumption and deliver it with unprecedented quality and ease of use that’s second to none.’

Cheena Srinivasan, founder and executive vice president, Kaleidescape

‘For Genelec, the increase in music streaming services and multiroom audio systems are important trends.

It’s one of the more accessible technologies in the home and our home audio range, the G and F Series, will allow people to get the best from their system.

Gaining ground in commercial applications, and emerging in home cinema projects, are 3D soundfield systems, such as Auro-3D and Dolby’s Atmos. Picture quality has been king, certainly in residential AV, but now I am looking forward to aural quality getting the attention it deserves.’

Lars-Olof Janflod, PR and marketing, Genelec

‘The standardisation of IP has been critical for a lot of technology advances in the AV world. Systems are now becoming truly integrated over IP, whereas in the past gateway products were needed to translate proprietary protocols, which never resulted in a truly integrated solution.’

Electronic laser pointer is SpotOn INTERSPACE INDUSTRIES The new SpotOn from Interspace Industries allows presenters to point at an area of interest on the screen without interfering with the host computers or video source devices. Working as a video overlay, a pointer (various types and colours) is moved around in the same way as a laser pointer but with a few differences.

For instance, you do not have to turn your back to the audience to see the screen but watch it on your preview/foldback monitor.

Also, it does not matter how many screens you have: it will be shown on them all, whether the screens are front or back projected or LED. Inputs are HDMI and DVI-I, and it has analogue VGA as well. A technician can operate the control unit to override anything should the presenter get in to trouble – or just move the point off the screen should they forget it.

Networking: we’ve all come a long, long way… …but how near are we really to achieving the vision of a single-network approach to audio, video, control data and more? A variety of expert-led educational sessions at ISE 2014 should offer some timely insights

>> NewsAnalysis

Changes in technological terminology can sometimes be so David Davies, slight as to appear ISE Daily team imperceptible. The transition from ‘audio-only networking’ to ‘media networking’ is not one such example, however; by contrast, the shift in language heralds a decisive move in favour of a more all-encompassing concept of networking and what it can do for the installed environment.

Speaking to me recently, Bosch Communications Systems platform strategist Ethan Wetzell crystallised the transition nicely. Media networking, he says, “begins to create a larger vision of a solution to a general problem rather than a specific technological element. I think the term is best used when it refers to all of the key elements that go into a true solution: the distribution of content is key, of course, but there are additional elements that need to be addressed, such as control, discovery and configuration.”

Predictions of when this nirvana might dawn vary dramatically, but bit by bit, the necessary elements do appear to be falling into place.

Following the initiation of audio device certification testing last year, the testing of pro-video devices related to the Audio/Video Bridging (AVB) standards is expected to get underway in 2014. The recent publication of the AES67 standard for streaming audio-over-IP

‘The term media networking begins to create a larger vision of a solution to a general problem, rather than a specific technological element’ interoperability appears to herald greater unity for Layer 3-based solutions. Meanwhile, several individual solutions continue to gain traction: the profile of the ALC NetworX-developed, broadcastoriented Ravenna technology has risen dramatically over the last two editions of IBC, while Dante – which, it should be noted, has always been marketed as a ‘media networking solution’ – had collected more than 125 licensees by the close of 2013.

It’s true that the inherent

complexity of a one-network approach to multiple media forms cannot help but generate concerns about troubleshooting. But the benefits in terms of cost-savings and scalability will surely prove decisive in the end. Then, too, there is the potential of enhanced interoperability “between video, signage, audio, lighting and other technologies… a huge advantage,” as QSC’s Richard Zwiebel told me recently.

Zwiebel, as it turns out, is set to expand on the opportunities of one

network during an ISE 2014 educational programme session.

Scheduled for 11:30-12:30 today, ‘Network Everything’ will examine the theoretical and practical thinking behind the implementation of a single backbone for audio, video, control, signage, POS and data.

But Zwiebel is by no means the only distinguished industry figure to be addressing the networking landscape.

Tomorrow [5 February] (13:00-14:00), RH Consulting founder Roland Hemming will look at the development and evolution of audio networking and control, what’s going to happen next and why. Later the same day (14:30-15:30), Aidan Williams, CTO of Dante developer Audinate, will be getting down to some of the networking basics – what matters, what doesn’t and why.

The AVB project will come into sharp focus during a session led by Meyer Sound’s Jeff Koftinoff tomorrow (13:00-14:30). With certification now open for AVBenabled pro-audio products and bridges, Koftinoff will examine the stages entailed in building an AVBbased medium-scale audio network.

Collectively, these sessions crystallise an important moment of transition – from the extensive network as abstract notion to reality.

There are many challenges still to be overcome in terms of end-user awareness and skillsets, but the sense of a shift from general trepidation about networking towards a cautious excitement is very real.

Light stage monitor KVM over IP extender supports DVI MEYER SOUND The new self-powered MJF-210 low-profile high-power stage monitor expands Meyer Sound’s on-stage solutions and makes its trade show debut at ISE 2014.

Built for the demanding needs of today’s live productions, the MJF-210 is the lightest stage monitor in the company product line and carries the sonic performance of the MJF-212A stage monitor, which has been used by Metallica, Usher, Judas Priest and Michael Bublé.

“The MJF-210 started with a customer’s request to bring the intelligibility and power of the MJF-212A into a more production-friendly package,” said Pablo Espinosa, chief loudspeaker designer and vice president of R&D. “The result is a product that reflects users’ needs in the field, and its small footprint also offers more flexibility in

bringing the myriad self-powered advantages to the stage.”

It features a low-profile design with what the company says is an impressive power-to-size ratio and very low distortion. Each monitor measures less than 14in high and weighs 67lb. With the amplifier built into the cabinet, the MJF-210 eliminates amplifier racks and saves valuable backstage and truck space.

The front of the MJF-210 slopes at an optimal 40° from the stage, while the constant directivity horn (50° H x 70° V) is said to give the performer more freedom to move on stage while staying within the wide vertical coverage. The drivers are powered by a three-channel Class D amplifier.

For applications with even higher power requirements, the MJF-212A stage monitor is available.

GEFEN New for ISE 2014 from Gefen is the DVI KVM over IP extender with local DVI output, which provides remote access to servers from workstations placed up to 100m from the LAN. The new product supports highresolution digital video in the DVI format, four USB ports for connecting keyboard, mouse and other peripherals, analogue audio from server to workstation, and RS-232 extension over the LAN. Each sender and receiver can be connected directly or through a Gigabit network switch using a single Cat5 cable.

Each sender and receiver can be configured to operate in a oneto-one relationship in which the receiver can only access a specific sender, or all senders and receivers on the LAN can be assigned unique IP addresses to facilitate the routing of up to 256

Gefen’s DVI KVM over IP can be combined with other extenders

senders to any receiver. This creates a scalable, virtual crosspoint matrix without any additional wiring. In this configuration, each receiver is able to access any of the senders within its network.

The DVI KVM over IP can also be combined on the same LAN with Gefen’s HDMI and VGA KVM over IP extenders, allowing a convenient and efficient method of video format conversion within the infrastructure.

Each sender is also equipped with a loop-through DVI output so

that users can install a local display at the computer side for monitoring video. The receiver also includes a built-in Ethernet switch and two additional Ethernet ports for connecting IP-enabled devices at the remote location.

Each DVI KVM over IP extender includes a web server interface for easy operation, configuration and setup. Alternative methods of control include keyboard switching software or the push-buttons on the front panel.

Classcomm Cloud supports anytime, anywhere learning GENEE WORLD The new release of Classcomm Cloud, an online learning assessment software, has been announced by ISE newcomer Genee World to support anytime, anywhere learning.

The Cloud-based assessment product allows teachers to create assessment content and tests, which can then be published online. The tests can be made up of a combination of multiple choice-based or text and numeric responses. Additional images and diagrams can be added to support the questions.

The content is stored in the Cloud and students can access this content at home or in school via a browser, in their own time.

Teachers can also set deadlines by which the tests must be completed, after which time the tests expire and are no longer accessible to students.

The tests can be done on Android, Windows or Apple tablets or on a desktop computer. The results from these tests automatically get forwarded to the teacher, who can analyse them to pinpoint gaps in the student’s understanding of a subject.

be encountered in a false ceiling, whereby the empty space behind the panelling might be too big – with consequent adverse effect on the sound quality. These kits can accommodate both the basic in-wall speakers as well as the more expensive Gold Series (suitable for rounded, square and rectangular versions).

Artsound has also responded to the latest trends in

construction. Increasingly, concrete vaulting and precast concrete are being used for this purpose. According to the company, these are essentially acoustically unfriendly surroundings. In collaboration with Helia, Artsound has come up with a solution in the form of its CKIT1 precast concrete kit.

Manufactured from polyethylene, finished with a mineral fibre

panel as a base, it can be installed on a wooden construction beforehand, on which the concrete is then cast.

Afterwards, just as in a false ceiling, the base panel can be cut. The CKIT1 creates a space which is empty and muffled enough to install the speaker.

Loudspeaker cables can also be connected.

Extenders target Scaling receiver boardrooms, classrooms automatically LIGHTWARE The new UMX-TPS product family, containing HDBaseT extenders, wall and floor plates, has been introduced by Lightware. Aimed at environments such as small boardrooms and classrooms, these devices transmit universal video at a resolution up to 4K, audio and control up to 180m distance over a single Cat cable.

At the higher end of the scale, the UMX-TPSTX140 extender was designed to handle digital and analogue video and audio signals, such as VGA, YPrPb, HDMI1.4 and DP 1.1 with analogue stereo audio from local inputs or embedded 7.1 HBR audio.

Analogue signals (both audio and video) are converted to a digital

format and can be transmitted separately from each other. All UMX-TPS products handle HDCP encryption. Using the factory, custom or transparent EDID emulation, the user can fix and lock EDID data on each input connector.

Advanced EDID Management forces the required resolution

from any video source and fixes the output format conforming to the system requirements. The unit offers bidirectional and transparent IR, RS-232 and Ethernet transmission.

The IR and RS-232 connection supports command injection, allowing it to send any IR or RS-232 control command directly from the LAN connection. Remote power is available through the single Cat cable, but local power supply can also be used.

All devices can be mounted on a rack shelf or used standalone. The UMX-TPS-TX140 is compatible with both the HDBaseT extenders and matrix switchers.

Make a quick camera connection VADDIO New for ISE 2014 is a QuickConnect technology that allows any Vaddio camera supporting Quick-Connect Short-Range (SR) to output USB or Ethernet. Based on Vaddio’s Quick-Connect technology that allows cameras to be extended up to 150ft over Cat5 cabling, USB cameras can now be deployed in system designs where distance was an issue.

“Last year when we launched our USB PTZ cameras, we were amazed at the number of our integrators that wanted to integrate USB cameras into their projects,” said Rob Sheeley, president of Vaddio. “[Moreover] they also wanted to be able to

DynamicVision for conference room aesthetics ARTHUR HOLM When they are not in use, videoconference cameras can spoil the decorative aesthetics of a boardroom or the prestigious meeting rooms used by some organisations.

To avoid this, Arthur Holm has developed a new DynamicVision system that provides a motorised mechanism with a customisable protective screen, which can be used to hide and/or retract videoconferencing cameras into when they are not in use.

It means the camera can be hidden discreetly and quietly, and protected from knocks and dirt, while remaining elegantly integrated in its environment, as the cover screen can be customised to become just another decorative element of the interior design.

DynamicVision is compatible with all existing conferencing cameras on the market, being operated by open protocols such as AH-Net or RS-422, the same management protocols used for the rest of the room’s equipment. Both camera and DynamicVision can be controlled by Sound Control Technologies; only two Cat5 cables are required to complete its installation.

It’s a generation thing The impact of IP has carved out two generations of people, who handle the challenges of network management differently Technology changes rapidly and progressive integrators adapt to leverage this in their favour.

Everything today is connected via IP and the IP Generation is reaping the benefits. Imagine servicing systems from a tablet in the Bahamas or optimising a client’s wireless network from a smartphone between taxi rides.

If this sounds scary, then your pre-IP Generation business may already be getting left behind.

Device management today is easier than ever with new software platforms, and devices

58 thedaily 2014

are more accessible through smartphones, tablets and the cloud. This is the new model of business for many integrators.

By contrast, the pre-IP Generation is outsourcing elements of network management to IT consultants.

They recognise the opportunities that IP networks present, but consider it the province of the IT world.

This becomes frustrating when you consider the mark-ups made by consultants who program off-the-shelf products

and resell them to integrators.

The good news? It’s easier than ever to muscle back control thanks to innovations in auto discovery.

Firstly, there is no longer a

Integrators can take the power back, keeping control and

eliminating extra costs.

Secondly, in a climate where clients clog their networks with traffic from an abundance of connected devices, after-sales care becomes paramount. To save installers running from site-to-site to manage congested networks, the same auto discovery technologies can link to the cloud for remote access.

Lower costs and easier access – now that sounds like a future all of us in AV can look forward to!

All-weather speaker range in Euro debut COMMUNITY PROFESSIONAL ISE 2014 is the European launch event for eight brand new models in the premier R-Series loudspeaker line.

Community says that three new compact models, the R.15COAX, R.35COAX, and R.35-3896, give systems designers increased flexibility by offering greatly improved music playback, additional coverage patterns, and higher output in paintable ABS enclosures. Five new R-MAX products (the R.5-66MAX, R.596MAX, R2-64MAX, R2-66MAX and R2-94MAX) provide the flattest musical response of premium loudspeakers offered in the R-Series, according to the company.

The R.15COAX and R.35COAX use identical 1.25in exit HF compression drivers, featuring Community’s Tru-Phase phase plug technology and Carbon Ring Cone woofer technology, which allows LF drivers to

exhibit cone areas up to 20% larger than standard woofers of the same diameter.

Both models incorporate frontloaded LF drivers – 6.5in in the R.15COAX and 10in in the R.35COAX – in highly reinforced enclosures for natural, nonresonant low-frequency reproduction. Identical voicing across both models ensures a uniform listening experience.

The R.35-3896 is a triaxial 8in Carbon Ring Cone loudspeaker featuring Community’s MultiSource Waveguide

technology, integrating the output from dual midrange compression drivers and a 1in exit HF compression driver into a single coherent source. The company says the fully passive unit is voiced for flat musical reproduction without EQ and delivers class-leading SPL levels for a loudspeaker of its size.

Chris Barrow, Community’s director of product marketing, said: “The most obvious visual difference is the sleek new paintable ABS enclosure. It is visually superior and offers more

flexibility while costing less to produce. That allowed us to invest in better audio components for exceptional performance without driving up the price.”

The new R-MAX loudspeakers feature premium 1.4in exit HF drivers and 600W neodymium woofers.

Community's latest arrivals provide a new palette of features, while also improving core R-Series capabilities

Introducing the Ray-On family ACTIVE AUDIO On the back of the success of its passive column loudspeaker Ray-On 100, Active Audio decided to create a Ray-On line. The range, which is being presented during ISE 2014, includes the Ray-On 60 and the Ray-On 200.

Like the Ray-on 100, the Ray-On 60 and Ray-On 200 passive column loudspeakers that can be mounted vertically very close to a wall.

They deliver the same directivity performance as a DSP column of the same height. The technical solution is based on the DGRC principle (Digital and Geometric Radiation Control), patented by Active Audio, which is a synthesis of electronic and geometric arrays.

The Ray-On 60 and 200 were designed for the sound reinforcement of speech and music. They offer an easy setup without a PC, by wiring the column and its amplifier.

Pitched at locations including conference rooms, churches, shopping malls and airports, the range conforms to EN54-24 standards and the certification is now in process.

Projectors have ClickShare Inside BARCO ClickShare Inside is the first in a set of optional modules for Barco projectors that integrate simple collaboration technology.

Available from the second quarter of 2014, it is being unveiled on the Barco stand.

After integrating ClickShare Inside under the hood of their Present projector, users can wirelessly share their content onscreen.

The ClickShare Inside module consists of a CSM Base Unit and an integration kit containing a bracket and three cables – HDMI, USB to RS-232, and a power cable – and can be neatly fitted inside the projector. ClickShare functionality is automatically activated once the projector is switched on. Meeting participants can then easily share their content on-screen by means of a

ClickShare Button, or by installing the ClickShare Presenter app on their Android or iOS smartphone or tablet. In addition, users can pair their ClickShare Buttons via their laptop as well as via the Base Unit’s USB port.

“With our new Corporate AV range, we are bringing style and simplicity into today’s meeting rooms,” said Peter Pauwels, director market development, Corporate AV at Barco. “By combining two of our flagship products into one, we are expanding the collaboration functionality of our projectors and continue to lead the way for smart visual collaboration.

Speaker system has CobraNet backbone SOUNDTUBE The STNet IP-Addressable speaker system provides a rack mountable 16-port switch and 40W PoE (Power over Ethernet) input power to its speakers along with report-back functions.

Current speaker models include the in-ceiling IP-CM52BGM, IP-CM52s-BGM, IP-CM62BGM and IP-CM82-BGM, and the surface-mount IP-SM500i-II. Additional speaker models are slated to be added to the system in the future.

Using a CobraNet backbone, the system allows each SoundTube speaker on the network to be powered via Ethernet and individually set up

and equalised. Each can receive different audio signals and is continuously monitored by the system to provide report-back status to the main control point.

Any failure in the speaker will immediately trigger an alarm (either visible or audible), and the system can be configured to send an email message to the installer. The STNet is compatible with all other CobraNet-enabled control systems, and multiple SoundTube switches may be linked for large speaker systems.

J2K RAW cores to cut monster images down to size

The IP-CM82-BGM inceiling speaker is part of SoundTube’s STNet IPaddressable family

In addition to the 16 Ethernet ports, the STNetSwitch includes two Gigabit ports for linking of switches and a port for connection to an external WAN. “IP-addressable speakers are a great way for system integrators to manage networked audio throughout an installation,” said Duke Ducoff, parent company MSE Audio’s VP of sales. “With our speakers’ higher input power, IPaddressable systems can now have better room coverage along with the alarm reporting that makes these systems so useful.”

A range of JPEG2000-RAW IPcores for FPGA is being showcased by intoPIX. The IPcores are able to manage HD, 4K or 8K Bayer image sensor output from 10- to 16-bit, with an efficient, visually lossless compression at various frame rates.

The new intoPIX JPEG2000 RAW IP-cores generate fully standard JPEG2000 files (ISO 15444-1) from a camera’s digital sensor to maximise cinema, TV production and post-production capabilities.

This is achieved by storing each of the sensor’s colour channels separately, prior to conversion into a full colour image with an optimised and flexible rate allocation.

Similar to the advantages of RAW files, the technology preserves access to any demosaicing algorithms, and control over white balance, exposure and colour grading in post-production. Compared to using uncompressed RAW, intoPIX claims that a JPEG2000-compressed RAW file drastically reduces the file size while preserving pristine image quality.

Claimed advantages of shooting in compressed JPEG2000 RAW include enabling higher image quality within the constraints of the recording medium, compared to other formats at the same file size. The format’s wavelet scalability also enables features to be encoded at different formats separately.

This excerpt from InfoComm’s Networked AV Systems course covers areas of interest to both end-users who are considering implementing a digital signage system and distributors or integrators who may provide digital signage solutions. Topics will include overviews of the types and possible configurations of digital signage, content delivery methods and options, and considerations for making the right choices for a particular project. Also discussed will be important questions which should be answered before a project begins to ensure the chosen solution meets the actual needs.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 14:30 – 16:30 Digital Video At Length Room D203 Speaker: Joe Cornwall, CTS-D, ISF-C, Technology Evangelist, C2G Inc The importance of dependable digital video connectivity continues to grow exponentially as a plethora of consumer and commercial TMDS-enabled devices change the nature of installed AV. With analogue infrastructure all but gone, being able to deploy point-to-point connectivity solutions that support digital video content at critical middle distances is vital. Under 20 metres, AV connections are often best served in a native format. Beyond 100 metres, AVB or IP solutions may provide the better results, but in the critical range between 20 and 100 metres, copper structured wiring delivers the greatest efficiency and value.

In this presentation participants will explore the characteristics and technology deployed in HD over UTP and HDBaseT connectivity solutions. This exploration will focus on operational theory, comparative performance metrics, and practical application of the technology to common AV installations.

AV chipset cuts into matrix market AptoVision BlueRiver NT offers a new route for uncompressed 4K signal distribution

APTOVISION Launching at ISE 2014, BlueRiver NT is the world’s first mainstream chipset to enable the transmission and switching of real-time, uncompressed Ultra-HD AV signals with zero-frame latency over off-the-shelf (OTS) Ethernet switches. AptoVision claims that replacing custom AV matrix switches with standard Ethernet switches cuts the cost of AV matrix switching equipment by 60%, while also eliminating the associated R&D cost, procurement complexities and inventory risk.

Integrated into source-side AV transmitters and display-side AV

The VZ-9.4 Desktop Visualizer from WolfVision records multimedia presentations

receivers, the BlueRiver NT chipset transmits uncompressed 4K HDMI-video, 32 channels of audio, USB 2.0 and useful control signals over fibre or copper cabling. It uses a packet-

based architecture, allowing the signals to be switched through standard OTS 10G Ethernet switches. Proprietary technology to handle arbitration, source clock recovery, bandwidth management and network configuration ensures realtime, pixel for pixel, zero-frame latency transmission.

The OTS Ethernet switches deliver a 96-port switch in a 2U chassis, which AptoVision claims to be 60% smaller and 60% less costly than equivalent custom AV switches.

Digital mixing goes universal C-MARK AUDIO

Visualizers can capture video and audio WOLFVISION Demonstrating its new VZ-9 Series Desktop Visualizers at ISE 2014 is WolfVision. The VZ-9.4F and VZ9.4L models are the company’s new portable desktop units that feature onboard HD video recording functionality that allows entire multimedia presentations and lectures to be captured, including audio.

Recordings are not limited to the visualizer’s own camera and microphone, and external display material from PCs or tablets such as digital images, PowerPoint slides, PDFs or webpages can also be easily captured – including audio voiceover. The user-friendly

interface is said to require no advanced technical knowledge, while a built-in microphone simplifies the recording process. A line-in input allows for external audio sources to be recorded if required, and an optional Bluetooth dongle can also be added to facilitate the use of a Bluetooth headset microphone for recording purposes. Presentations can be easily streamed to computers, tablets or smartphones, either on an internal network or over the internet. VZ-9 Series Visualizers also feature an FTP client, which enables videos and images to be uploaded to an FTP server if required.

Keep an eye out for B-EYE AED DISTRIBUTION ISE 2014 represents an excellent opportunity for AED Distribution, the Benelux distributor for a number of major brands, to bring its product range to the attention of a large audience.

Brands on show include Clay Paky, and among the company’s products on show is the new A.LEDA B-EYE. Innovative and versatile, the B-EYE combines

the functionality of a LED wash light with that of a beam light – and also a projector for graphics effects.

As a wash light, the B-EYE features a 6° to 70° beam aperture. The zoom can, however, be closed even further to as little as 4°, thus switching the light from a wash diffusion into a narrow, parallel beam. In this operating mode, the B-EYE becomes a beam light, the beam of which consists of an array of

nearly indiscernible, individually controllable small beams with each micro-beam having its own colour and shade.

The front lens of the B-EYE can be rotated in either direction and at variable speed such that many little beams are created that can be unfolded or closed like petals. When colours and dynamic patterns are added, the B-EYE generates countless kaleidoscopic projections.

CREATELED Designed as a backdrop for DJ touring, TV studios, creative stage design and fashion shows for both fixed installations and rental/ staging, the AirBLADE-15 indoor LED display can be seen on the CreateLED stand.

According to CreateLED, almost any resolution can be configured simply by adding or removing ‘blades’, such that an AirBLADE can be used for applications from free form video through creative lighting effects to architectural design.

Using black face or black body 3-in-1 SMDs, each LED strip measures 1,000mm x 30mm x 38mm and weighs 0.44kg (9kg/sqm), with a resolution of 64 x 2 pixels (15.6mm pitch).

CreateLED says that the AirBLADE has a very short minimum viewing distance. Brightness is 1,200 nits, with a horizontal

viewing angle of 160° and a vertical angle of 50°. Sixteenbit processing delivers 281 trillion colours.

Mechanical or magnetic fastening options are available to facilitate quick, simple installation and removal.

The third generation of the Multicellular Loudspeaker Array (MLA) control technology is being introduced to the installation market at ISE 2014. MLA Mini offers a budget price and ultra-compact footprint, light weight and specialised design.

As an example illustration of the system capabilities, it is said that a 12-box array has a throw of 35m to deliver live music in venues of 7501,000 people.

At the heart of MLA Mini is the MSX mini-sub power plant, which complements the main system and houses the amplification, networking and DSP necessary to power and control itself and four MLA Mini enclosures. Each MLA Mini enclosure houses two 165mm/ 50mm voice coil LF drivers and a vertical column of three 35mm aluminium dome HF drivers on a 100º horizontal

dispersion horn. The system can be flown, ground-stacked or pole-mounted. The 380mm reflex-loaded MSX can be integrated into flown arrays or ground-stacked separately.

In the simplest configuration, four MLA Minis can be pole-mounted above the MSX with precisely adjustable tilt angle, and function as a plug-and-play system, with the user recalling onboard presets instead of using computer control. At the other end of the scale, up to 16 MLA Minis can be flown in an array and powered by four ground-stacked MSX units.

MSX also contains nine channels of Class D

amplification to provide cellular drive while the onboard DSP interacts with proprietary Display2.1 intelligent software for accurate array optimisation. With each individual cell under software control, the company said that ‘hard-avoid’ areas can also be programmed in to reduce sound spill, and vertical coverage can be fine-tuned electronically in-situ without the need to rerig the array. Arrays and MSX units can be remotely controlled from a laptop or wireless tablet running Vu-Net control software, so eliminating trial and error tuning.

Black Diamond Rear-Pro Film is designed for in-window displays

Rearpro film offers 900% better contrast ratio SCREEN INNOVATIONS Black Diamond Rear-Pro Film is a diffusion rear projection film from Screen Innovations that can be applied to any transparent surface to create dynamic digital displays. It uses what the company describes as “the first and only multidirectional ambient light rejection projection screen technology”.

Black Diamond Film encompasses a permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive and release liner for easy application.

The company claims that it has unmatched light rejection, creating contrast levels ideal for retail and in-window displays, exhibits and tradeshows, corporate lobbies, boardrooms, houses of worship and even in home theatres.

Featuring a gain of 1.4 and delivering a claimed 900% better contrast ratio performance than typical projection screen materials, Black Diamond Rear-Pro Film – which comes in a maximum size of 60in x 99ft – can be ordered pre-laminated to glass or acrylic with a range of different frame designs based on the user’s specific needs.

Pre-lamination to acrylic or polycarbonate can create a perfect cylinder, according to Screen Innovations, eliminating the compound curve that most flexible screens inherit. In this form, it is said to be suitable for simulation and command and control where edge blending needs a perfectly symmetrical viewing surface. For custom installation, several mounting solutions are available from all-mount to cable systems.

DSP-balanced active speakers for debut The SRP range aims to deliver detailed sound from compact enclosures

SONODYNE Two sets of SRP active speakers are making their first appearance at ISE – the 200 series is intended for custom install applications, while the Pro Series aims to serve as reference monitors for studio applications.

Sonodyne claimed that both series of speakers have been made to the highest SRP standards, with slight modifications to suit the requirements in each specialised market.

The SRP 200 series encompasses five speakers, ranging from the 95dB SRP

201, measuring 125 x 184 x 120mm with a frequency response of 95Hz to 22kHz, to the SRP 205 rated at 112dB with a frequency response of 42Hz to 22kHz, and measuring 291 x 434 x 280mm.

A standout feature of the speakers is the use of a discrete amplifier for each transducer. In the Pro Series, these range from the 15W + 15W biamplifier matched to the silk dome HF and glass fibre cone LF of the SRP 350, to the 175W + 100W biamplifier driving the silk dome neodymium magnet tweeter and Kevlar cone woofer in the SRP800.
