A new standard for audio networking BY GEORGE COLE The audio industry has united to create a new standard for sending high quality audio across computer networks. Networked audio is a growing business: many organisations routinely send audio across networks, including broadcasters, studios and public venue owners. The market is highly fragmented, with a plethora of competing network systems, technologies and protocols. The result is that it can often be difficult to mix and match audio products from different manufacturers – but all that is about to change. AES67 doesn’t sound that exciting, but it’s no exaggeration to say that a lot of people in the audio industry are excited about it. It’s the name of a new interoperability standard for sending audio across Ethernet networks (also known as audioover-Ethernet or audio-over-IP). Yesterday, the Media Networking Alliance (MNA) − an association of companies promoting AES67 (including Walt Disney and the BBC) − hosted an open-panel discussion at ISE 2016 on AES67’s impact on the industry. The panel included members from Shure, Archwave, QSC, Yamaha, Bosch, Genelec and Merging Technologies.

Digital Signage p14

Moderating the discussion was Rich Zwiebel, MNA chairman. “I think AES67 will have a significant impact on the industry,” he said. “People often say to me, ‘what network are you using?’ and I say, ‘Don’t think about the networks, but the product and what you want to achieve.’ AES67 makes this much easier to do.” Aki Mäkivirta of Genelec said end users will reap many benefits from the new standard: “It’s going to add flexibility for clients. They will have a better selection of competing products to deliver the services they want. It will also bring better security for their investment.” Bob Abraham of Shure said: “It’s going to greatly reduce the cables you need and the amount of copper that you have to run to connect these systems.” Ethan Wetzell from Bosch Communications Systems added: “AES67 offers the possibility to sell a product on its technical merits and features, rather than the language it speaks. AES67 is unifying technology that gives users freedom of choice and doesn’t lock them into systems.” “We’ve got companies of all sizes and from many different sectors coming together for AES67, because they care about this market and want it to work,” said Zwiebel.

Hovering up business

BY ADRIAN PENNINGTON The Drone Arena (at Park Foyer outside Hall 8) has met with a “phenomenal” response on its ISE debut according to Mark Wilkins, CEO, Stampede Global. His company has teamed with ISE to run the special feature which showcases flying platforms in action. “People are getting the message that there is a real

growth market for pro AV in selling drone video systems,” said Wilkins. “Most dealers don’t currently see drones as a core part of their business but a drone video system can be a big ticket item when used to solve a real world problem.” Applications include home security and emergency response situations in which drones flying above fire incidents would transmit live video and interface

with videoconferencing system for crews to manage the operation. Remember, you could leave ISE with a drone of your own just by entering a competition. All you have to do is leave your business card in the competition box at the Drone Arena, with one winning card drawn at 13:00 on Friday. The winner must be present at the time of the draw to claim the prize. Good luck!

Digital signage focus SAMSUNG Samsung is hghlighting the breadth of its digital signage capability. “From large to small, indoor or outdoor, mirror or translucent, for applications from transportation to retail, interactive or passive – Samsung is a true innovator, and has become a one-stop shop for digital signage screens,” said the company’s Thijs Van Riemsdijk. The company is showcasing its OHD Series SMART Signage, designed for outdoor deployment and said to be resistant to harsh conditions; the screens can operate in temperatures between -30°C and 50°C. The company also says that the screens implement a higher standard of protection glass

than the industry standard. Samsung claims that the displays are the slimmest on the market, with a front-to-back measurement of 90.3mm. The OHD Series features a second generation SSSP (Samsung Smart Signage Platform), the company’s solution for integrated media playout. The 46in screen delivers 3,000 nits of brightness, and has a contrast ratio of 5,000:1. Other features include IP56 ingress protection, reflection-cancelling protective glass, an auto-brightness sensor and polarised sunglass support. HDBaseT connectivity is provided, as are two HDMI ports, a stereo mini-jack and an RJ45 socket.

Look to Improve with specialist Intelligent energy saving Show Floor Theatres at ISE 2016 THEBEN

IMPROVE As you traverse the halls at ISE 2016, look out for the special Show Floor Theatres - Audio Solutions (7-Z160), Residential Solutions (5-S120), Commercial Solutions (8-D360) and Unified Communications, pictured (9-A140). Together they feature up to 150 sessions throughout the show. Rotterdam-based Improve is the design talent that devised and built these theatres. “The idea is that there is integration between image, light and sound from the perspective of the presenter,” said Improve’s director Antoinette Wijffels. “We want to give the floor to the presenters, challenge them to have a better story, and to bring it forward in a way that is perhaps better than a Powerpoint. “We are also trying to encourage the presenters to make optimal use of all the technologies they have, with the goal of making a more stimulating and energising presentation.” Improve started planing the theatres nine months ago, first agreeing concept ideas with ISE to

Education on the rise CEDIA create the theme for each theatre. “With Unified Communications, for example, we really tried to explore what it’s really about. So on the outside we have ‘old communication’, such as old computers, old telephones, but on the inside it’s all digital screens that let you communicate with people on more than one level. So as well as runing PowerPoint the presenter

can run 4K video or photos on the screens at the same time.” Similarily for the Audio Solutions Theatre, there are vinyl and CDs forming the decoration on the outside, while inside the presenters use wireless headphones. “As you can see at ISE, there are so many possibilities to make your presentations more exciting.”

Since ISE 2015, CEDIA EMEA has achieved a number of milestones, says executive director Wendy Griffiths. As well as embarking on a project to create a British standard for structured cabling, CEDIA has also been able to achieve recognition by City & Guilds − the governing body for training − meaning that those who successfully complete either a Smart Home Technician or a Smart Home Designer pathway will receive a certification from CEDIA and City & Guilds and become accredited within this area. “That was an important step in achieving greater awareness of CEDIA among the student

community,” noted Griffiths. “It will also benefit employers who are keen to grow their business at a time when employee recruitment is one of the major challenges facing CEDIA member companies.” The organisation has undertaken five Technology Forums in the UK, and plans to roll them out across the EMEA region in 2016. “They provide an excellent hub for people to meet and share knowledge, and are highly valued by manufacturers and integrators alike,” said Griffiths. CEDIA has ramped up its education initiative, with 89 courses delivered in the UK, and 62 in the rest of the region, representing, according to Griffiths, a 58% uplift.

Spark unifies comms CISCO Unified communications across the enterprise is being taken to new heights with Cisco’s Spark app, designed to bring meetings, messaging and calling into the cloud. Spark, which was launched in December 2015, now has traction in the market and is being used by enterprises and vertical markets. Cisco’s director of collaboration solutions marketing, Angie Mistretta, commented: “Cisco wants to provide a seamless experience over all modes of communication so users can always be connected to work. Spark is moving us into the cloud; cloud means you can do things more quickly, there are lots of service delivery options, and you can take it down to a user level. The on-premise world we come from is very different; cloud is really the direction the industry is moving in.” Spark mixes messaging, meeting and calling in a simple way, so with a single click users can turn a phone call into a video meeting, or with a swipe move a video call from a room system to a mobile phone and then to another room.

Spark also makes it possible for legacy phones and video conferencing systems to plug into the cloud and access these new services. This means, noted Mistretta, that users are, “able to get the best of breed of all the cloud benefits, while still protecting the investment of existing equipment”. She added: “Lots of our customers are coming from these big legacy environments, and we can give them the best of both worlds.” Additionally, Spark has an open API for developers to integrate third party apps into the system so that organisation can use existing services in a new way. Mistretta said: “We have taken down the barriers to development so anyone with basic coding experience can work on Spark. How Spark is integrated into the tools an enterprise is using today is the big value, not using it just as an instant messaging service.” Cisco is also talking about its recent acquisition of Acano. Cisco is looking to bring together the best of each company’s onpremise solutions, and then it intends to bring Arcano capabilities into Spark over the cloud, said Mistretta.

M-Touch allows interaction with lights MARTIN PROFESSIONAL Claimed to introduce a new form of interaction to the lighting industry comparable to that seen between a musician and electronic instruments, the Martin M-Touch is being demonstrated at ISE 2016. With precise touch encoders and command keys for the most commonly used operations, the M-Touch is described as a true hybrid surface for programming and playback, reading input strength and letting the user interact with performances and shows of any scale, Martin claims. Its pressure sensitive

buttons with no mechanical parts will, says the company, ensure indeﬁnite functionality. The integrated DMX output connection allows direct control over any DMX device without the need of further hardware. The Martin M-Touch can be connected with a simple USB cable to the Martin M-PC software or connected to any M-Series console as a powerful extension. No external power connection is required. Fourteen FSR faders allow control of playbacks and ﬁxture parameters, while 20 velocitycontrolled pads allow for new types of effects. Additional

programming buttons such as record, edit, update, load and clear are accessible directly from the M-Touch control panel. The M-Touch comes with one DMX 512 Universe for direct control of any compatible DMX device. “The M-Touch is truly a game changer for us and our customers,” said Matthias Hinrichs, product manager for controllers, Martin. “It makes professional lighting control accessible to everyone and offers a unique set of features through a simple and efficient plug-andplay USB control surface for our M-Series lighting software.”

FRIDAY’S HIGHLIGHTS

10:00-14:00 AV/IT Seminar Programme

09:00 Friday Keynote: Dr Michio Kaku – The Road to Perfect Capitalism

The objective of the four-hour event is to examine how AV and IT convergence impacts upon our traditional understanding of installed networks and the requirement for increased technical and operational expertise for professionals operating in these sectors. The AV/IT Seminar Programme – taking place in Room G104 - will seek to provide a mixture of presentations, tutorials and case studies from leading business consultants and educational experts. The programme will look to show IT professionals how modern media systems operate and to demonstrate to AV system planners and integrators how IT departments in large companies run their departments and networks. For more information go to www.iseurope.org/av-itseminar-programme

The Friday Keynote will be given by Dr Michio Kaku, a recognised expert in Einstein’s unified field theory; he has unparalleled skill in predicting trends affecting business, commerce and finance based on the latest scientific research. The leap in technological capability will be such that the future will successfully integrate the brain with the computer. The extremely low costs of these technologies in the future will help to facilitate this. Imagine buying a CD-ROM, not for your computer but for uploading directly into your brain. Picture consultations with robo-doc and robo-lawyer, as we move away from commodity capital and towards intellectual capital. Consider a world without language barriers, as your brain and its computer translate any dialect from around the world. Think about simply blinking when you need to pay for something. Dr Kaku will explain how the impact on business will be just as seismic. He’ll outline the path towards ‘perfect capitalism’.

11:30-12:00 How UC Enables Workplace Transformation Until now, group videoconferencing has been too expensive, too complicated, and too unavailable for all but a few. Finally, group videoconferencing is amazingly affordable and as easy to use, but some key questions remain on how to fundamentally

embrace this incredible opportunity to become truly collaborative. Uniﬁed Communications Theatre – sponsored by Crestron – on Stand 9-A140

13:00-13:30 Digital Signage Summit Presents: Benetton – The Store as the Place for a Limitless Experience The customer keynote from Benetton will deliver fascinating insights in the ROI of digital signage, how to run effective campaigns and the price of being an early adopter. The Italian clothing company installed the ﬁrst international store-front network throughout Europe. After successfully operating the installations for four years Benetton decided to dismantle all displays and reverted to a static display approach. Now it has returned with a new sales-focused digital signage concept. While the Live Window project concentrated on external visibility, the new concept focuses on the inside of the stores. A key objective of the new strategy is increasing sales by improving instore communication, engagement with customers and enriching their overall shopping experience. With the new system, stores around the world receive standardised Benetton content and messages along with localised adaptations tailored for their market.

DIGITAL SIGNAGE VOX POP In 2016, I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see the industry doing 4K properly. Today we are often sold UHD (4K30), which is supported by the current HDMI 1.4 chipsets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is the reason so many manufacturers have been able to quickly offer it. 4K in all its glory is actually 4K60 and using deep colour (4:4:4). The colour depth is important to keep an eye on as there are many manufacturers offering 4K60 but only at 4:2:0.

Andy Fliss Technology sales and marketing leader, tvONE Stand: 1-M60

What changes do you envisage in the digital signage market in 2016? Building on 4K, 2016 will see a further improvement in screen quality with the emergence of high dynamic range content, widening the gamut of on-screen colours and further narrowing the gap between print and screen. 2016 will also see retailers interact more with customers on their own devices, using NFC, Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) and beacons to deliver push notiďŹ cations via a retailerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mobile app. BTLE connectivity will also provide users with the ability to interact directly with the screens using their phones, thus increasing customer engagement.

Network Agnostic Meshing BITVU UK-based digital signage solutions provider Bitvu is showcasing its Network Agnostic Meshing (NAM) technology. This provides intelligent networking to help digital signage meet business priorities such as cost, communication speed or bandwidth constraints. By dynamically switching between wired, WiFi and 4G networking, Bitvu’s digital signage players can select the optimum path for media

messages. The players automatically create a mini-network and, after assessing the available bandwidth and quality of service, choose the network path that best matches predeﬁned priorities. If priorities are time critical, data is delivered across the 4G cellular network to each player that is equipped with this feature. If the cellular network is congested, the server will route via wired Ethernet or WiFi. For resilience, should a connection

become unavailable due to equipment failure, congestion or human error, the meshing technology will seek out a new route between connected players, ensuring that all devices are playing current content. NAM also enables businesses to schedule data transfer during quiet hours when network operators may offer reduced 4G data charges. Bitvu’s partnership with worldwide telecoms operators provides visibility of usage statistics and costs.

HTML5 and server updates NAVORI A HTML5 version of the Navori Labs QL Manager content management system for the QL digital signage engine is on show at ISE. The new HTML5 UI delivers a template and media preview feature to improve insight into design quality and a more responsive user interface to simplify content creation and management. It also supports playlist- and rules-based schedule management systems based on meta tags for more effective targeting of content delivery.

Navori Labs is also introducing its QL Server SDK, allowing QL to act as the backbone of an entire digital signage infrastructure across content management, distribution, playback and monitoring. This allows for the management and control of QL systems from a custom third-party software application, or can be used machine-to-machine. Users can also interface QL with an existing software user interface development internally or commercially. Additionally, systems integrators and end users can customise the CMS user interface according to the customer’s requirements and

proﬁles. The QL Server SDK is compatible with Navori Labs’ new HTML5 user interface to support customisation of the UI. Finally Navori Labs is also previewing its new load balancing/ failover and QL Server content delivery network (CDN) add-ons. These are intended for larger scale deployments of servers hosting more than 1,000 players via a CDN. This supports larger numbers of concurrent users, increases network strength, reduces server load, streamlines maintenance and helps make system failures unnoticeable.

Passenger information outdoors INFINITUS Two imotion outdoor displays intended for passenger information are on show at the Inﬁnitus stand at this year’s ISE. Sixty of these units have been integrated at the central train station in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Both types of units are intended for wall or ceiling mount installations. Two of the units at the stand are

stretched 38in imotionLITE screens, with 1,000 nit luminance, intended for shaded areas and underpasses. These units are projecting terminal information. Inﬁnitus is also showcasing a 2,000-nit imotionFLOW 47in landscape wall mount unit, made to handle substantial exposure to sun. This screen will project real live scheduling information from the train station.

These displays were made to operate in a relatively dirty environment, with higher dust and toxic particles levels as well as carbon brake dust, a special problem encountered in train stations. All of the systems can be remotely controlled and monitored via the controlmotion technical software, which also enables remote control.

OPINION

NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS

AV/IT: Let’s work together Increasingly, AV organisations are working with IT teams. According to Ian McMurray, developing mutually productive relationships really isn’t that hard to do Over the last few years, the AV world has become increasingly preoccupied with what is generally known as ‘AV/IT integration’. In fact, there is a case to be made that AV has never been anything other than part of the IT world. Think about it. What has AV always been all about? Simply: using technology to ease the sharing of information. So: what’s changed to make it an issue that everyone seems to be talking about? First: how effectively a company shares information has become strategic. The information an organisation holds – whether on disk or in the minds of its people – may be its single biggest asset. How it leverages that information has a direct impact on its competitiveness. When something is strategic, it will always attain a higher level of focus. Second: the world has changed. Now, the network is everything – and everywhere. The world has converged on a set of protocols, standards and technologies that ensure that any device can talk to any other device. The AV world has reﬂected that. Recognising and acknowledging that the IT department’s primary aim is to facilitate information sharing in pursuit of a company’s goals, and that AV products and services can support that objective, is a fundamental requirement for a potential provider. Whether it’s a conference room or a

digital signage deployment – the investment is being made because it supports the organisation’s ambitions. The trick is to ﬁnd out how it’s expected to do so. The fact that information sharing has moved to the heart of how an organisation operates is a real opportunity for AV companies: a supplier who can help it achieve its goals can become a strategic partner, rather than a mere vendor – with all the beneﬁts that accrue from that superior position.

POSITION OF STRENGTH AV integrators are in a position of real strength when it comes to interacting with IT organisations. They have experience and expertise that bring unquestioned value – and that IT organisations seldom have, and probably don’t plan to acquire. They will likely cherish the education a good integrator – or manufacturer – can bring to the table, and be perceived as a beneﬁcial resource. What the IT manager mostly wants to hear is that whoever he’s talking to understands what he’s trying to achieve for his organisation – and to have the conﬁdence that the integrator or manufacturer can make a contribution. To engage in that conversation, though, the integrator has to know the vocabulary of IT – to be able to talk the same language as the IT team (each member of whom may

have their unique vocabularies, depending on their speciﬁc assignment). It’s important to acknowledge ‘the elephant in the room’ – the network. First: it’s easy to make an assumption that the proposed AV solution will be integrated within the corporate network. But: just because it can, doesn’t mean it will be. Second: not all networks are created equal – different organisations have different approaches, different strategies. Asking the right questions is crucial – and demonstrates that an integrator understands the complexities of the IT world. Those complexities, of course, extend far beyond simply attaching to the network. That’s not integration. Integration is about being able to comply with an organisation’s security policies, or how it monitors the status of devices on the network, or which applications the AV system will need to interface with, or how it addresses scalability. At the end of the day, working effectively and productively with an IT organisation is no different from working with any customer. Asking the right questions; comprehending what they’re looking to achieve, and the constraints within which they’re operating; talking the language of their industry; offering a solution; and creating trust based on experience, expertise and an understanding of the requirement – they’re the same keys to success, whatever the situation.

Next gen video distribution products are on show ZEEVEE ZeeVee, a global manufacturer of video and signal distribution technology, is demonstrating its new video distribution solutions, ZyPer4K CATx and ZyPerMX, at ISE 2016. The new ZyPer4k CATx expands upon the ZyPer4K platform to provide what ZeeVee says is the only solution today that switches and distributes uncompressed ultra HD (4K) video, audio and RS232/IR control signals leveraging off-theshelf 10Gb Ethernet switching products, with support for CatX infrastructures. “The ZyPer4k CATx delivers all the functionality of the ZyPer4K for clients who haven’t made the upgrade to ﬁbre cabling,” said Danny Barr, vice president, new product business development for ZeeVee. In addition, the ZyPerMX is being showcased here. Using industry standard H.264 (MPEG4)

encoding technology, the ZyPerMX HD IP video encoder provides a bridge between the current high deﬁnition iSeries and the 4K/UHD ZyPer4k products. As many new buildings have been wired without traditional coax cabling, the ZyPerMX provides an affordable IP video encoding solution enabling customers to deliver live TV and archived content over their Ethernet networks. “The new ZyPerMX truly bridges the divide between today’s HDBridge/coax products and the new generation of high capacity ZyPer4K/network based products,” Barr added. With the addition of these new products, ZeeVee’s multi-source to multi-screen video distribution platforms continue to deliver on its promise of any source, over any network to unlimited displays. Visitors to ISE 2016 can also see demos of ZeeVee’s extensive product family of RF/coax encoders and modulators.

The RSio64-D is designed for a broad range of professional audio applications

YAMAHA COMMERCIAL AUDIO The RSio64-D I/O Rack is a Dante/ Yamaha mini-YGDAI card interface from Yamaha that provides up to 64 inputs/64 outputs for live sound, broadcast, recording and other professional audio applications. The RSio64-D will, the company says, provide signiﬁcantly enhanced ﬂexibility for sound systems that include a Dante audio network. Featuring four card slots, the RSio64-D I/O Rack is compatible with more than 30 different Yamaha Mini-YGDAI cards, allowing a wide range of input/output formats, like AES/EBU or ADAT, to be connected to a Dante network. But, Yamaha notes, it is not just limited to I/O cards – it also accepts processing cards that provide capabilities such as Lake processing and Dan Dugan automatic mixing. Each mini-YGDAI slot includes a sample rate converter (SRC) so that devices operating on different word clocks can be connected without causing noise or signal interruptions.

Full support for Dante network redundancy (primary/secondary) is provided, as well as an external DC input for a redundant power supply. The RSio64-D can also be remotely controlled from Yamaha CL and QL series digital mixing consoles or Yamaha’s R Remote software application, with full matrix patching supported so that more complex routing can be set up as required. “Since its introduction in 1998, the Mini-YGDAI format has evolved to encompass a broad range of host devices and cards, with many of our users investing in such equipment,” said Ken Hiraoka, Yamaha PA department manager. “The RSio64-D is an innovative solution that not only makes it possible to utilise that investment on a Dante network, but also enables convenient routing between mini-YGDAI cards. “We expect that the RSio64-D will greatly expand the utility and power of sound systems built around Dante capable products such as the CL and QL series consoles.”

Which technology do you think will have the greatest impact on the industry over the next ﬁve years – and why?

Given the pace of technology’s advancement and the volume of devices on the network, you’ll see a move towards common standards across available protocols for both the media and data layers of communication. This will move the conversation from “What protocol do I need to work within?” to “What solution serves my customers’ needs now and in the future?”

Graeme Harrison Executive VP of marketing, Biamp Systems Stand: 3-C87

Due to a huge growth in demand, large size imaging will have a major impact, because of its ability to meet many customer needs – whether for applications like retail advertising, wayﬁnding and information boards, entertainment, control rooms or more. However, the biggest change will be in LED technology. With major advances in LED technology starting to be rolled out today, bright light display performance is excellent even in difficult environments.

Thomas Walter Section manager strategic product marketing, NEC Display Solutions Europe Stand: 4-R24

Uncompressed video technology will have the greatest industry impact. The reason for this is the evolving landscape for displays and projectors. These are evolving to accommodate higher resolutions, image quality, colour depth and increased refresh rates and therefore the demand for video and image sources is dramatically increasing. There are limitations in video compression so using uncompressed high colour depth image sequences is being used instead.

Huddle and classroom presentation solution The new HD-MD-400-C-E low-cost HDMI switcher and extender pair

CRESTRON The new HD scaling presentation switcher and extender (HD-MD-400C-E) aims to meet the needs of the changing workplace for smaller meeting and huddle rooms. The HD-MD-400-C-E comes with HDBaseT output, a scaler for optimal image display, automatic switching for HD resolutions up to 2K, display control and Ethernet connectivity in a pair of compact, easy to deploy devices. Composed of a compact 3 x 1 transmitter and an HD receiver, the HD-MD-400-C-E can be installed in minutes with no special programming required. With two HDMI inputs, one VGA input and one analogue audio input, the transmitter supports the connection of computers, mobile devices and other media sources. The receiver features an additional HDMI input for a local source, such

as a Crestron AirMedia (AM-100) wireless presentation gateway. Laptops or smart devices can be connected to one of the three inputs at a table or podium and the signal can be routed to the room display, up to 70m away. Signal auto-detection automatically turns the display on and off, lessening the need for a control panel or remote. An additional AV source can be connected at the display device location or through an optional wall plate. The HD-MD-400-C-E was designed with built-in scaling to support a complete range of digital and analogue signals. Both devices are powered together using a single included wall mount power pack, which can be connected either at the receiver or at the transmitter location. Power is carried between the transmitter and receiver over the HDBaseT connection.

ATTERO TECH Making its debut at ISE is the unD4O Dante 4 Output Interface from Attero Tech. The unD4O Dante Interface is, says the company, a cost-effective 4-output way to add up to four analogue output channels to an existing Dantebased networked audio system. The unD4O’s small form factor and PoE power capability are said to make it easy to put Dante connectivity wherever it’s needed – near the audio sink – thereby eliminating costly and interferenceprone analogue wiring. The unD4O is powered by either external +24VDC or any PoE network switch. Attero Tech is also introducing the unD6IO. A multi-IO wall box,

New website for brands CHIEF / PROJECTA / DA-LITE

The unD4O allows the addition of up to four analogue output channels to a Dante network the unD6IO features a balanced mic/line XLR input, a balanced XLR line output, and two balanced outputs on side panel de-pluggable connectors. Two RCA line level inputs and a 3.5mm TRS line level input complete the available inputs. A 3.5mm TRS line level output is also included. The unD6IO is

designed to ﬁt into most dual gang US junction boxes and is PoEenabled, so all connectivity (power, control and audio data) is provided by a single Cat5e/6 cable. Like the unD40, its size and I/O density allow Dante connectivity to be placed where it is needed.

Milestone AV Technologies, home of the Chief, Projecta, Da-Lite and Sanus brands, has launched a new responsive website to integrate the Chief, Projecta and Da-Lite brands in a single location. Currently, customers experience Chief and Projecta on separate sites with separate logins, multiple accounts, different payment terms, shipping and

tools. Following customer feedback indicating a desire for a consistent experience online with the brands, the new site at milestone.com provides a single place to specify, conﬁgure, price, order and track. Historically, Chief, Projecta and Da-Lite have operated as separate brands and they continue to exist as such. The individual brand sites will remain for an interim period.

The LX-MU700’s dual lamp system allows it to deliver 7,500 lumens

CANON EUROPE Said to be the company’s brightest WUXGA installation projector to date, Canon’s LX-MU700 delivers 7,500 lumens when both lamps are in use, which the company believes is ideal for environments such as large auditoriums where there are high levels of ambient light. In addition, Canon notes that dual lamp functionality offers higher levels of reliability as, if one lamp fails, the projector can continue to operate in single lamp mode. The LX-MU700 also supports seven interchangeable lenses – ranging from short ﬁxed to ultra-long – enabling integrators to choose the lens best suited to the projection distance and

environment, allowing, says the company, for outstanding accuracy and installation ﬂexibility. The device is supported by two 6-colour wheels that are optimised for either brightness or colour, making it appropriate, according to Canon, for installations where the use of video content or computer graphics is required. For ease of use, the LX-MU700 also allows ten sets of focus, zoom and lens position settings to be stored. The latest LX models from Canon support HDBaseT, which allows for the transmission of HD media, audio and control signals over long distances via a single LAN cable, spanning up to 100m and greatly improving convenience in system conﬁguration and supporting information sharing.

Looking for sales partners DNP DENMARK Optical laser panels are the next step in the evolution of ﬂat screens, according to dnp denmark, as the company showcases the new generation of dnp LaserPanels. These offer 100in high contrast images at, says the company, around 50% of the cost per screen area square inch of LED-backlit LCD screens. The dnp LaserPanel uses a laser projector, and dnp notes that low running costs and no requirement for lamp changes will drive down the total cost of ownership. The size-cost-quality ratio of the display provides a compelling combination, believes Soeren Kraemmergaard, VP of global sales and marketing at dnp. “If the market is clear about one thing, it’s that big is truly beautiful when it comes to display technology,” he said. “The problem is that when you take ordinary ﬂat screens over 80in in size, there is a disproportionate price increase.” dnp LaserPanels are said to overcome this restriction by combining optical screen technology with ultra short throw laser projection. The result is a display that can be mounted on the wall, with the projector above or below the screen, shooting from a steep angle. This makes installation easy, dnp believes, and users do not need to worry about stepping into the beam while presenting.

Subscription model for SoundScape

IT’S WHAT’S BEHIND THAT KEEPS US AHEAD

SoundScape’s monthly subscription model frees service providers and end-users from contracts

BARIX A subscription model has been announced for the Barix integrated SoundScape business music and advertising solution to eliminate upfront investment and expensive contracts. The starter package, which includes licences for the ﬁrst 50 audio players, aims to eliminate annual contracts in favour of monthly credit card payments and a faster return on investment. The 50-player starter package allows businesses running at multiple locations to enhance sonic branding with nominal fees for additional single player licences as business needs expand. Based on Barix’s WAN-based audio over IP approach, the package is pitched at systems integrators seeking a multi-site audio distribution and management system that accelerates launches and minimises labour and materials. A self-discovering architecture across its central management

portal and remote audio players makes SoundScape quick to deploy. “SoundScape’s monthly subscription model eliminates the upfront investment, and frees service providers and end users from expensive contracts that have long deterred businesses from turning ‘instore radio’ into a true revenue-generating service,” said Reto Brader, vice president of sales at Barix. “Since many retail and hospitality seek to outsource business audio delivery, service providers can position SoundScape as a managed service to their end customers. This allows systems integrators to capitalise on the growing demand for full service offerings.” SoundScape is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) that brings together cloud-based content management, endpoint playout and global monitoring capabilities in a programmable package. The system can be monetised through dynamic ad insertion.

NovoPRO connects business collaborators VIVITEK Newly announced just before the show, the NovoPRO from Vivitek is described as a powerful new wireless business collaboration tool. A step up from NovoConnect, the company says, it provides a new feature set to enable the sharing of visual content from any meeting participant wirelessly onto the main screen with just a few clicks. The platform is designed to ensure a top quality wireless experience, yet at a price/performance point that makes it easily affordable for any meeting room, boardroom or brainstorm space. Featuring a quad core processor, the NovoPRO allows up to 64 devices to connect in client mode at any one time, while four can be actively projecting on a split screen, empowering users to share content with the group on the main display through its full mirroring capabilities. Its cross-operating system platform compatibility enables the NovoPRO to support all types of WiFi-enabled devices including iPads and iPhones and their Android equivalents, alongside Chromebooks, laptops

and all types of desktop PC. The NovoPRO has the ability to output native UHD resolution (3840 x 2160) content, as well as stream 1080p video content up to 60fps to ensure smooth, high quality wireless video. The NovoPro’s built-in Ethernet port and WiFi allow for standard dual network support so that both a wired and wireless connection infrastructure can be deployed to accommodate, for example, both guest and corporate network settings. While sharing content wirelessly, data security is provided through the NovoPRO’s data encryption. Remote management of all NovoPRO devices is possible, and Vivitek says it will provide free software upgrades.

RESIDENTIAL SOLUTIONS NEWS, VIEWS AND UPDATES FROM THE SMART HOME TECHNOLOGY SECTOR

App-control for HDMI and HDBaseT matrices Hundreds of AV control HDANYWHERE The new mHub family is made up of two 8x8 and 4x4 matrixes, offering 4K/HDCP 2.2 and 2K full HD 1080p. HDanywhere’s mHub 4K matrix is 4K Ultra HD and HDCP 2.2-capable, with matrixed audio extraction and PoE, and supporting the full HDBaseT-Pro 5-Play feature set. For projects with no 4K requirements, HDanywhere’s mHub 2K matrices are plug-and-play systems for the multizone distribution of full HD 1080p up to 50m (164ft) over a Cat 6 cable. The mHub matrices also allow installers to extract audio over digital coax at the chassis or extract and down-mix to stereo via the 3.5mm jack on the chassis. They also have the ability to distribute high resolution digital audio formats. All HDanywhere mHub matrixes can be set up, conﬁgured and

controlled via the new HDanywhere Control App for iOS and Android devices, which are also being debuted at ISE 2016. The HDanywhere Control App lets installers offer their clients a simple way to switch between and control HDMI source devices at each TV from their tablet or phone. The company claims it is perfect for homes which don’t require or don’t have the budget for full whole-home automation control. The HDanywhere Control app also enables installers to set up a HDanywhere mHub matrix, conﬁgure rooms and EDID settings. Homeowners can control any such mHub matrix and switch between HDMI source devices at each display location. Via payable upgrades, homeowners can also gain control of a number of popular HDMI entertainment devices, for example Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV. The app will be available later in

tweaks in Enado upgrade WYRESTORM TECHNOLOGIES

All mHub matrixes can be conﬁgured via the new Control App for iOS and Android devices 2016 to download free with every mHub matrix package and will work on Android and iOS smartphones and tablets. The free version of the app can be downloaded multiple times per client site and allows for source switching functionality.

Single-point stereo speaker raises ultra-thin proﬁle TDG AUDIO

Version 4 of WyreStorm’s Enado AV Control System brings improvements such as BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) QR codes, voice control support for Amazon Echo and IFTTT (If This Then That), the ability to launch iOS and Android apps from the UI, and MyEnado.com PermaLinks for secure remote access. The UI now requires fewer button presses and pop-ups, has improved navigation through Room and Activity buttons and offers a clipboard to copyand-paste macros between buttons. WyreStorm says there are hundreds of tweaks to further speed up and simplify the programming experience. For example, launching apps from the Enado UI allows the dealer to trigger a macro and launch an app at the press of a button, such as to switch on the power amp before going to Sonos, or turn all the lights on before launching Lutron. The Enado 4.0 update is included on both the 1U rack-mounted ENA-001-010 Controller and the new ENAMINI-010. James Meredith,

TDG claims the NFS- 61-5CMSTT is the perfect stereo solution for limited depth installations combined waveform. The speaker also features a 6.5in polypropylene Trueform woofer with dual voice-coil design. Jeff Francisco, president of The DaVinci Group, said: “Integrators told us that although low-depth mounting situations are a subset of their overall installations, up to now, most solutions have been challenging to install and disappointing in sound quality. This disappointment is

multiplied when the installation calls for a single-point stereo speaker, which often has its own problems. TDG engineers have created the perfect solution for these situations with our new NFS-61-5CMSTT speaker offering integrators a superior performing thin-mount single-point stereo solution, with our exclusive STT Stereo Tweeter Technology.”

Stand: 5-S110 The number of new features in OS 4.0 make it the biggest Enado software release to date

World’s ﬁrst waterproof 4K TV range expands AQUAVISION

According to The DaVinci Group (TDG), the new NFS- 61-5CMSTT incorporates the company’s proprietary STT Stereo Tweeter Technology for the ﬁrst time in a speaker that is less than 50mm thick. The company says integrators regularly run into situations where they are asked to install a distributed audio system in a structure that limits the available depth in which to install an in-ceiling/in-wall speaker. Instead of cutting down conventional or stock speaker components, TDG engineers engineered the NFS-61-5CMSST with new suspension elements. By balancing the requirements of the new spider, surround, cone weight and thickness, TDG claims its engineers ‘accomplished the impossible’ by creating a speaker that requires less than 50mm mounting depth, yet approaches the performance of full-depth models. TDG’s implementation of its STT technology in this speaker uses a special 13mm Soft Dome Tweeter with dual voice-coils – one for the left channel and one for the right channel, both on the same tweeter. TDG claims this enables the speaker to deliver a full stereo reproduction with no distortion degrading the

WyreStorm Enado global product manager, said: “The addition of features such as BYOD QR code support is so important for dealers. It enables their clients to conﬁgure their own control devices, whether they’re based on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux, PC – literally any device with an internet browser. It’s so easily set up that a customer can do it themselves in seconds rather than requiring a dealer site visit.” Enado’s 4.0 update also adds presets that can be triggered from a simple http request to add support for IFTTT. This allows users to create links between other web services, such as Facebook, Gmail, Twitter or Pinterest, triggered by simple commands sent to those services.

The British manufacturer and originator of in-wall and waterproof TV is expanding the range of waterproof 4K televisions it launched at ISE last year. Aquavision claims the show launch of the world’s ﬁrst such device impressed both residential and commercial systems integrators with its “elegance and quintessentially British style”. The company claims the Elite 4K range offers increased frame rates and vibrant realistic colours. Alastair Benn, director, Aquavision, said: “We now offer not only the 55in and 65in size, but an impressive 85in in the Elite 4K range, for the closest IMAX immersive experience of its kind.”

The 55in, 65in and 85in screen sizes use the company’s Nexus 4K control board. With DVB-T2, DVB-C and discreet IR control as standard, the Nexus range can communicate with all leading home control systems including Crestron, Control 4, AMX and RTI, according to Aquavision. “We also boast another worldfirst with our ConnecTV Active, which offers [HDBaseT] power and signal through one Cat5/6 cable,” added Benn. “Our passion and enthusiasm for designing and producing the finest products in our market is only fuelled by the talented vendors that collaborate with us, presenting us with new challenges and opportunities, which I find truly inspiring and exciting.”

Lutron is also talking to ISE 2016 visitors about some of the challenges associated with LED lighting. In this era, where LEDs are now the dominant source for lighting, Lutron claims that many installers and integrators ﬁnd swapping ‘old technology’ lamps

Sivoia QS Triathlon WIDR roller shades are said to offer industry-leading battery performance

over to LED lamps isn’t always a straightforward task: they often experience ﬂicker problems, circuit breaker tripping, or other compatibility difficulties. Lutron notes that it has a long history of controlling many different light sources, and the LED revolution is no exception. The

company is offering a free lamp testing service (so far, Lutron says it has tested over 2,000 different lamp SKUs) to ensure that a compatible selection can be made for its projects. The company has established an LED Centre of Excellence.

Home control line-up released PRO CONTROL “Powerful but affordable” is how Pro Control characterises its line of remote controls and processors. The company’s processors include the ProLink.z, which delivers control via six IR output ports, an Ethernet port and two two-way RS-232 ports for bidirectional communication, and provides support for iPad, iPhone, iPod touch or PC. Two-way feedback from compatible devices is also supported. It features an integrated antenna and programming via USB. It is designed to be partnered with the Pro24.z and iPro.8 remotes, and features an integrated 2.4GHz ZigBee antenna. It is fully customisable via Pro Control’s wizard-based software. The ProLink.r is also PC programmable via Pro Control’s wizard- based software, and communicates with the Pro24.r and iPro.8 remotes via one-way 433 MHz

RF signal. Four integrated IR routing ports offer adjustable output strength. It also includes two voltage-sensing inputs for improved management of connected devices. For even more control ﬂexibility, the ProLink.r provides one-way LAN control via tablets, smartphones and PCs with an activated ProPanel app from iTunes. Pro Control’s remotes include the Pro24.z with infrared and ZigBee capability, together with a touch screen. The iPro.8 is a companion controller for use with smartphones, tablets and PCs. Also being demonstrated at ISE 2016 are the latest additions to the company’s library of two-way drivers for manufacturers such as KNX, Lutron Caséta, Sonos, Nest and Denon HEOS, as well as Pro Control Studio, which the company claims is the most efficient programming software in the industry.

Integration Designer APEX demonstrated RTI The new Integration Designer APEX software is being demonstrated by RTI. Said to dramatically speed up the installation process while maintaining ease of comprehensive customisation, APEX features a number of enhanced capabilities that aim to make system design more efficient. These include automatic generation of the graphical user interface and programming, a new IR library, multi-room programming, advanced graphic resizing, and more. RTIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Integration Designer is

described as a powerful, easy-to-use, Windows-based software package that allows the entire RTI control system to be programmed from any PC, providing a wide variety of tools to make the programming process quick and easy. The company says that Integration Designer allows complete ďŹ&#x201A;exibility in the design of the controller screen. Several pre-deďŹ ned button shapes are provided, along with a complete set of editing tools to create custom graphics for the display. Infrared codes can be added to any button by a simple drag-and-drop process.

The Macro Editor provides a simple interface for allowing every button in the system to carry out complex multi-step actions. Integration Designer also includes an Infrared Library Manager, which allows infrared codes to be learned and stored for easy reuse in multiple systems. Updates to the included infrared library are continually being made available. RTI says that Integration Designer, the product of over ten years of development, is a central part of its Integration Control system.

iPad Pro takes to the dock and tabletop IROOM The ďŹ rst table top iPad docking solution from iRoom, and what is said to be the ďŹ rst iPad Pro compatible docking solution in the industry, is being launched at ISE 2016. Like its predecessor, the iBezel, the iTop is not only designed to dock and charge the Apple device, but has many more intelligent functions. Six quick access buttons can integrate with all major control brands, but can also send IP control commands to IP-controlled devices directly. A programmable smart motion sensor can activate the iTop and it

includes a PoE+ power supply. The iTop is also compatible with the iPad (Air 1 and 2 and iPad 4), iPad mini (all generations) and the iPhone (5 and up). However the latter connects to the iTop through an innovative method of adjusting the Apple Lightning connector up and downwards. Marc Hofer, CEO of iRoom, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A common criticism of using the iPad is that it needs to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wake upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and you need to navigate to the control app before you can do anything with it. The iBezel adds eight and the iTop six hard buttons on the exterior of the dock, which means integrators can program the most common functions into the product to provide

immediate access to the lights, AV systems, HVAC, whatever you like.â&#x20AC;? Hofer explains that the buttons are all customisable in terms of the icon used and can be programmed very easily, using a simple list within the control app, which looks similar to the menus found within an Apple product. The buttons can link to major third-party control systems like Crestron, AMX, Savant, Control4, RTI and more, or act completely independently and control any IPaddressable product via its open system architecture, effectively making the product an automation platform on its own.

The Magic Mirror allows consumers to virtually try on clothes

MAGIC SCHAUFENSTER Claiming that it has “an almost supernatural power to increase boutique sales”, the Magic Mirror from new ISE exhibitor Magic Schaufenster is designed to attract the attention of passers-by. Created for apparel outlets, it allows a potential customer to choose a range of clothes, followed by a speciﬁc item within that range, and to virtually try it on. The item can even be resized to the individual’s preference and blended with augmented reality, using the Magic Mirror’s inbuilt motion sensing and tracking technology. This allows the customer to move around to see the item from multiple viewpoints as it is being worn and to experience how they look in it. If the store is closed, the system also allows for the item to be ordered via the screen. Also on show on the Magic Schaufenster stand is the company’s Magic Catalog, through

which customers can learn about what a retailer has to offer by using natural gestures, without touching the display. The novelty of the experience is intended to heighten the level of engagement in a way that appeals to modern customers. Magic Catalog is not just interactive, the company says, but also proactive. By responding to movement, it captures the attention of passers-by and invites them to explore – and, claims the company, when customers learn about a retailer’s offerings in an original way, they perceive those products and services as unique, innovative, and superior to the competition, leading to more sales. To measure effectiveness, Magic Catalog gathers statistics, such as most viewed items, the time people spend learning about each item, as well as the total number of users.

IP-based multiroom videowall TERACUE EYEVIS To address the AV over IP evolution of signal distribution, the ICUE-GRID, a pure IP-based multiroom videowall presenter by Teracue eyevis, expands the reach of the company’s ICUEIPTV product family. It replaces the traditional AV switch by using the potential of the network. Designed to fit into most IPTV and AV streaming implementations, ICUE-GRID is a decentralised solution and is said to scale almost infinitely. It offers a flexible positioning of videos in any

resolution up to 4K on the videowall. The embedded bezel correction makes it possible to use monitors with any frame size. ICUE-GRID uses the IP network to distribute signals. Every single display has its own processing unit mounted at the back. The combined performance of all these distributed units is managed by the web-based ICUE-GRID controller that can be installed anywhere in the network. This management tool, alongside the distributed GRID processing, eliminates the need for an expensive videowall controller.

Live streams and on-demand ﬁles can simply be dragged and dropped in the ICUE-GRID layout. The ICUE-GRID controlled videowall goes beyond a single wall or room: it can cover multiple walls in multiple rooms. It can be a single screen or a creative arrangement of screens. ICUE-GRID was designed for network conferencing, control rooms, digital signage, events and presentations. It’s also suitable for any situation where there is a need for a ﬂexible responsive multiview layout.

Show and media control software developer Showlogix is introducing version 2 at ISE 2016. The new version offers a real-time 3D rendering engine, along with a tool to project on complex objects. Content creation can be entirely separated from the positions of the projectors, the company says. Showlogix can use content rendered as unwrapped UV-texture of the 3D model, or it can also accept any 2D video, images or text which will appear non-distorted, using projective texture mapping. By dragging the projector point, the outputs are calibrated in real time. Edge-blend masks are automatically calculated. Optionally, warping and masking can be done manually on each projector to compensate for any model problems.

Interactivity can be added to the 3D projected object by using the built-in tracking module. Cameras can be used to detect motion for visualising mouse and multi-touch events. Showlogix focuses on developing show-control and multi-display software

for attractions in museums, visitor centres, trade shows, live shows and more. The software is designed to playback graphics, video and live feeds across multiple displays, and can also control lighting and other devices.

Wall processor is ‘world’s first’ RGB SPECTRUM Claimed to be the world’s first true 4K videowall processor, RGB Spectrum’s MediaWall V Display Processor offers up to 4K resolution I/O, single wire connectivity and fully scalable windows. According to the company, the MediaWall V display processor features an architecture that combines the real-time processing and reliability of a hardwarebased processor with the flexibility of a separate processor to run applications. This is complemented by integrated IP capabilities, and what RGB Spectrum describes as extensive user-friendly features, enhanced security and an intuitive, easy-to-operate control interface. The result, it says, is a 4K videowall processor with enough power and versatility to drive both HD and UHD videowall systems. The MediaWall V processor supports up to 36 video/graphic

direct inputs and up to 28 outputs/ display devices. It processes a full range of I/O resolutions including 4K (4096 x 2160), UHD (3840 x 2160), 2K (2048 x 1152/1080), and HD (1920 x 1080). Inputs are fully scalable for output to a UHD videowall or for display on standard videowalls. An optional application processor (AP) decodes IP camera and other H.264 streams. HDCP capability allows the display of protected content. The 4K videowall processor can display any conﬁguration of window layouts across a multi-screen array. Windows can be sized as required

anywhere, within or across screen boundaries, in any aspect ratio and zoomed in to emphasise details. Signal switching and preset layout recall are claimed to be fast and seamless. The videowall processor’s webbased set-up GUI supports both local and remote access, ‘drag and drop’ window positioning and scaling, wall layout presets, and input selection. In addition, RGB Spectrum’s newly introduced VIEWT Controller adds a graphically enhanced user interface with live thumbnails to enhance system operation.

Google Cast partnership announced STREAMUNLIMITED StreamSDK is a software solution that transports any streaming audio functionality to multiple various consumer electronics devices, including internet radio and music services. At ISE 2016, its developer, StreamUnlimited, is announcing that Google has enabled StreamUnlimited as a Google Cast partner. Manufacturers integrating StreamUnlimited’s StreamSDK technology have the ability to add Google Cast to their software through the partnership. Google’s enablement of StreamUnlimited technology will, the company says, allow audio manufacturers to bring Google Cast streaming partners and platforms to market more efficiently. Google Cast works across platforms with support

for devices based on Android, Apple’s iOS, Microsoft and on the web with Chrome, and provides solutions with many popular music applications and online radio stations, such as Pandora, iHeart Radio, TuneIn and more. Google Cast is a technology that allows entertainment to be cast from a phone, tablet or laptop to a TV or speakers. In 2015, Google Cast added Rhapsody, Napster, BBC Radio, Spotify and 7Digital to its list of highresolution audio streaming partners and plans to continue expanding this year. “Over the last year, we have worked closely and productively with Google to complete this signiﬁcant project,” said Frits Wittgrefe, chief executive officer for StreamUnlimited. “Since the project has completed, we have already added several major design-ins. We are excited to ﬁnally

announce the partnership and have the ability to serve more brands with exceptional audio products.” With more than 15 years of experience in streaming audio technology, StreamUnlimited supports many music streaming services and in adding Google Cast into its StreamSDK capabilities, the company claims that audio product manufacturers can reduce product and software development times. Google Cast is available as an add-on to StreamUnlimited’s StreamSDK software, a silicon independent technology that allows brands to mix Google Cast with other streaming audio functionality. Additionally, StreamUnlimited offers ready-touse hardware modules and related applications for the Google Cast technology.

High-end furniture range extended B-TECH INTERNATIONAL Towards the end of last year, B-Tech International added six new models to its high-end AV furniture range, and the BTF830-BTF835 range is on show at ISE 2016. With concealed castors and what the company describes as a premium high gloss finish, the new models are designed to provide a comprehensive choice of quality floor-standing mount solutions for single or twin screens in the office or in high-end residential applications. The stands offer mounting heights from 1.3m to 1.9m for screens up to 85in, with the BTF832 also benefiting from electronic motorised height adjustment. The BTF834 and BT833 models offer side-by-side mounting of screens sized between 40in and 55in. Storage of AV equipment, such as

Blu-ray players or a PC, is provided on the BTF835, which features a ventilated shelved storage area to keep additional hardware. All of the new floor mounts can be equipped with the BT7870 camera shelf for easy videoconferencing applications, with all but the BT832 also designed to take the BT869 codec shelf if required. “This new range of stands really do catch the eye,” said Mark Walker, business development manager for B-Tech International. “Naturally, they benefit from B-Tech’s hassle-free but exact UK engineering, but it’s the quality of the finish and their aesthetic qualities that stand out. The concealed castors also mean the stands can be used where required – perfect for making an impact in the boardroom or presentation area.”

Switcher features InstaPort technology HALL RESEARCH The SW-HD-4 4-input HDMI switcher from Hall Research features InstaPort technology from Silicon Image, enabling fast switching of four HDMI sources to a single HDMI output. The switcher supports 4K (UHD), 3D, 36-bit Deep Color video. Control switching via front panel button, using IR remote control, RS-232, Telnet and also web GUI is built into the unit. Full EDID control is provided, meaning that the user can decide individually the EDID content for each input. A list of standard EDIDs can be chosen from, or the EDID can be copied from the connected display to any input. This can be done using the web GUI or by sending RS-232 commands. Auto switching with priority is another feature. In auto mode, the SW-HD-4 scans all inputs and automatically selects

The SW-HD-4 enables fast switching of four HDMI sources to a single HDMI output the active input. Priority is based on position with #1 input having the highest priority (so if more than one input has video, in auto mode, the input with lowest port number will be selected). Front panel buttons can be locked to prevent users from switching or changing modes. The switcher can also disable HDCP support for any input, forcing the source to send unencrypted content when allowed (some sources

add HDCP even if the content shown is not protected, the company notes). When the input does not have HDCP, the output will not have HDCP. This, says Hall, is a useful feature for connecting the output to devices that do not support HDCP, such as videoconferencing equipment. The SW-HD-4 provides a USB type A port on the back for connection of USB ﬂash devices for ﬁrmware upgrade.

New patent-pending technology, provides an incredibly accurate audio capture to ensure that each meeting participant is clearly heard. The smart solution with breakthrough ‘invisible audio’ concept, provides a natural, comfortable and productive meeting environment where effective communication is brought to the forefront and the technology hides in the background.

UPDATES AND OPINIONS FROM ISE’S NEWEST THEMED AREA

ANALYSIS: AOIP – next stop, mass adoption After years of increasingly intense debate, 2015 arguably marked audio over IP’s transition from ‘next big thing’ status to widespread global adoption. So by any reckoning, ISE 2016 should witness some very exciting developments on the audio networking front, says David Davies Such was the volume of audio over IP (AoIP) connectivity and product announcements in 2015 that in a conversation which took place during its closing weeks, it seemed only right to ask Joshua Rush, vice president of marketing at Audinate, whether this had been the year in which IP-based audio networking ﬁnally crossed over to the mainstream. “If you look at the acceptance of any new technology, there tend to be three key stages that you go through,” he responded. “The ﬁrst is for people to say ‘Hey, this looks interesting and could potentially be a cool addition to my work’; the second is where they become comfortable enough with the technology that they start to use it in their projects; and the third is where you see mass deployment. I think in 2015 we began to move from the second to the third stage.” It was an ideal time, then, for Audinate to launch its Dante Via software product. Designed

to allow entry to the Dante networking universe without the need to buy dedicated hardware endpoints, Via is set to be a major focus of the company’s ISE 2016 presence. But Audinate certainly won’t be the only ones helping to mark AoIP’s ‘mainstream moment’ at the show. Focusrite continues to attract new enthusiasts to its RedNet range of IP audio products, and in 2015 made a fresh addition to the line in the form of the AM2 stereo audio monitoring unit. Dante-compatible, AM2 provides headphone and XLR line-level outputs for monitoring signals sourced from the connected Dante network. Business music might not be the ﬁrst potential application one thinks of when the topic of AoIP is raised, but it’s certainly proven to be a hit for Barix. Made available as of October, SoundScape is a fully integrated live and scheduled streaming service that allows audio content providers to

centrally manage and distribute branded music and advertising over IP networks. Highlighting the increasingly fertile shared ground between IP delivery and cloud services, SoundScape is a full SaaS offering that combines cloud-based content management, end-point playout and global monitoring capabilities.

INTEROPERABILITY In many ways, the story of networking in 2015 was about interoperability between different existing IP-based audio networking systems – and more speciﬁcally around the AES67 standard (whose ISE 2016 ‘home’ is the Media Networking Alliance stand). A growing number of manufacturers are highlighting their compliance with AES67, surely cognisant that it helps to provide a welcome level of longterm reassurance to end-users. Having joined the partner community for ALC NetworX’s

Four new amplifiers expand FreeSpace range BOSE Four new dual-channel amplifier models have broadened the FreeSpace line: two mixer amplifiers (IZA 2120-HZ, IZA 2120-LZ), and two expansion amplifiers (ZA 2120-HZ, ZA 2120-LZ), each at 120W per channel – optimised for premium commercial applications such as retail, restaurants and hospitality. FreeSpace amplifiers boast the ability to be quickly configured without the use of a PC, enabling each installation to be easily customised, according to Bose. The IZA models include an integrated audio DSP providing Bose loudspeaker EQ, Bose Dynamic EQ, Opti-voice paging/ducking, audio mixing/routing, bass/treble adjustments, remote control options

and an auto standby feature. The ZA models support sound system expansion when using front-end Bose products such as FreeSpace integrated zone ampliﬁers and ControlSpace engineered sound processors. Optimised for commercial applications, FreeSpace IZA ampliﬁers feature selectable Loudspeaker EQ to enhance audio quality and Opti-voice paging for clear speech intelligibility. The company claims that by providing seamless transitions and Dynamic EQ, they ensure full and balanced music at any volume level. Additionally, the IZA 2120-HZ offers true two-zone capability, providing two independent outputs that each support volume/source selection remotes, EQ, tone controls and

paging/auxiliary routing options. Bose FreeSpace zone amplifiers are designed to provide basic amplification and sound system expansion when using front-end Bose products, such as FreeSpace integrated zone amplifiers and ControlSpace engineered sound processors. ZA zone amplifiers sport a highquality Class D amplifier and come in a compact, lightweight design. When connected to an IZA integrated zone amplifier, the ZA zone amplifier allows for easy system expansion. Chained amplifiers will function together as a single expanded system, sharing the same music, paging sources, master volume control and optional loudspeaker equalisation

The new FreeSpace ampliﬁers offer 120W per channel ampliﬁcation for either high- or low-impedance applications

(AES67-compatible) Ravenna technology in early 2015, Riedel recently introduced an AES67 client card for its popular Artist digital matrix intercom system. The result is that Artist customers can now use “whatever standard they want, whether AES67, Ravenna, AVB, or Dante via AES67”, as matrix intercom product manager Christian Diehl remarked. In fact, it is increasingly evident that allowing users to deploy the networking technology with which they feel most comfortable is now crucial to vendors’ continued relevance. Harman is a ﬁrm adherent of this policy, with vice-president of global marketing Erik Tarkiainen recently telling me that “we support multiple networking protocols because each has their strengths in certain situations. If the market converges on one or two, that’s ﬁne with us, but we also have the R&D resources to fully support multiple protocols,

which to this point has been what our customers have asked of us.” With other primary innovators in this area such as Optocore/ BroaMan and Biamp also making return visits to ISE, this year’s show promises to reflect the extent to which audio networking per se is now shaping the entire industry consciousness. Now with the technology in place, we can turn more firmly to specific applications and, thereby, the business of making end-users’ lives as easy as possible.

Active passive bass module creates ‘seismic’ subwoofer KV2 AUDIO A new subwoofer ampliﬁer design has been introduced, representing an evolution of the VHD2.21 2 x 21in subwoofer for large-scale live music and playback performance. KV2 says the VHD4.21 Active Subwoofer Module features high current delivery, coupled with a class leading ‘green efficiency’ low consumption power supply. It is aimed at dancehalls and music-driven nightclubs, and can be used as a ‘seismic’ subwoofer to be added to any KV2 Audio or third-party manufacturer’s system, according to the company. The VHD4.21 module consists of two purpose designed ‘lowloss band pass’ enclosures, one active and one passive, with each enclosure containing two speciﬁc custom designed large-format 21in woofers. The VHD4.21 active can power an additional passive VHD4.21 sub and deliver 14,000W of peak power while being plugged into a

standard 13A wall socket. The unit’s Low Q design has been applied to attain the optimum loudspeaker loading, enabling a high sensitivity of 109dB @ 1W/1m. The design of the power management system enables the active power ampliﬁer to deliver peak output levels of 14kW, while operating at a constant consumption of 3.0kW from a 13A circuit.

The miniature capsule is mounted on a delicate gooseneck and comes in several lengths for hanging, table or podium mounting or on ﬂoor stands. It comes with an XLR for a wired solution, but also as a MicroDot version that can be used in a

The Easy-Grip system means the Surface speaker can be installed in less than 30 seconds The miniature capsule of the SC4098 is mounted on a delicate gooseneck wireless conﬁguration by employing the company’s adapter range, which is already used for other miniature microphones. This microphone was originally developed for simultaneous interpreting, where audio quality is paramount. It is now being offered for a wider range of speech applications, especially aimed at those in difficult acoustic environments. Anne Berggrein, VP of marketing at DPA, said: “In any conference, lecture or meeting situation, ensuring that speakers can be

clearly heard and understood is vital for the success of an event. The microphone is the ﬁrst link in the audio chain, so it makes perfect sense to introduce the highest possible quality at that point. DPA is renowned for developing and manufacturing neutral and accurate microphones that can reproduce sound to the smallest detail, even in the most difficult surroundings. We have a range of useful solutions that give conference and AV installers the high quality sound they demand.”

Until recently, this meant providing multiple versions of products in order to meet systems integrators’ speciﬁc needs. Fortunately, recent advancements in materials and investment in high-technology production equipment make it possible for us to enhance our core products

in a way that allows us to meet these needs while cutting back on the number of versions of each product available.” The new line of direct weather loudspeakers features 304-grade stainless steel covered in a new poly coating that protects against corrosion like marine-grade stainless. This translates into products capable of withstanding the level of moisture and corrosion that was in the past only associated with the higher grade marine versions of each product. In addition, all hanging hardware is now manufactured in 316-grade stainless only, ensuring that all units can be hung outdoors in any

MOREL The SoundWall Surface series is a new ‘invisible’ architectural speaker solution intended to leave no visual footprint while producing an immersive musical experience. Morel claims its design goes beyond the achievements of other invisible speakers, saying it presents a higher performance quality and a new patent pending ‘Easy-Grip’ installation system that aims to make the process easy and serviceable. Oren Mordechai, executive vice president and head of R&D at Morel, explained: “This installation system is based on four clip-like brackets that attach to the wall using pressure and the force of gravity. Once an appropriate hole has been made in

the wall, the Surface speaker can be installed in less than 30 seconds and ﬁnished with regular plaster to achieve the desired texture.” Another key element of the Surface is the handcrafted direct-drive motor system encapsulated by a large 2.1in Hexatech aluminium voice coil. This drives an advanced composite membrane allowing for the right balance of rigidity and ﬂexibility for a wide frequency response. This technology mix also provides the system’s high power handling with low distortion, and a dynamic, clear and natural musical performance, claims Morel. The speaker is available in two models: the fully ‘invisible’ H17C and the semi-hidden SH17C.

A professional wireless intercom is being debuted at ISE 2016, set to tap into the Green-GO Ethernet-based communications network. Silvio Cibien, sales manager at ELC Lighting, explained: “It has been some time in development but we are now in production and ready to present our new wireless system at ISE, which we feel is a perfect platform. We have worked hard to develop a product that is truly wireless – something our customers have been calling out for. The Green-GO system is unique – unlike all other wireless intercom systems, our wireless beltpack and HF base stations are simply an extension of our Green-GO wired Ethernet

network. While keeping the ﬂexibility of the main system, the only thing the user needs to do is to add a number of antennas and wireless beltpacks in the system.” Green-GO is a communications system that plugs into an existing PoE network. Most intercom and cueing systems used for live performances in theatres and opera houses rely on separate networks of discrete wiring or dedicated data networks and proprietary protocols, almost always with complex and expensive central management equipment. Green-GO only requires a simple connection of the outstations. Once set up, all group data is stored locally so there is no need for an expensive central matrix.

Let your ﬁngers mix the talking The Model K Control Surface sports a physical interface for operators

DAN DUGAN SOUND DESIGN The Model K Control Surface for all networkable Dugan automixers, including the recently introduced models M and N, has started shipping. The Dugan Model K is a physical interface resembling a keyboard. It gives the user tactile buttons for controlling a system so operators can have their eyes on the production and their ﬁngers on the keys. Dugan technologies offer a mix of live microphones, providing fast, transparent cross-fades without upcutting, choppy sound or shifts in background noise. Transitions between talkers are smooth and consistent no matter how many mics are open.

The Model K includes manual, automatic and mute keys for each channel, plus rotary encoders for setting weights and other values. There are also LCD displays for the channel names and parameter values. The brightness of indicators and displays can be adjusted for dark or bright environments. The Model K offers controls for eight channels and three groups. Like the software Dugan Control Panels, the eight channels can be bank-shifted over any number of channels in a system. The panel can select and load stored scenes. The Model K can be linked to a particular instance of a Dugan Control Panel so the tactile panel and computer display complement each other.

Venue-driven live sound consoles on show AVID Live sound consoles, including the modular and scalable Avid Venue|S6L and the compact Avid Venue|S3L-X, are being showcased in Hall 7. Avid is delivering hands-on demos of both systems, showcasing their integration to the company’s digital audio workstation (DAW) Pro Tools for streamlined recording and playback functionality. A fully modular, scalable live sound mixing system, Venue|S6L delivers functionality for a range of live applications, including front-ofhouse, monitor, broadcast, theatre and more. Featuring touchscreen workﬂows and the company’s

live sound engine, Venue|E6L, the console can handle large, complex tours and events, says the company. It offers over 300 processing channels and an HDX-powered DSP engine which manages all 64-bit AAX plug-in processing, with full automatic delay compensation. Venue|S6L uses Ethernet AVB across all of its components, using Cat5e cables for runs up to 100m, or ﬁbre-optic cables for longer runs up to 500m to connect everything. Users can daisy-chain stage boxes to create a redundant, self-healing network ring with the engine. The modular system is also capable of supporting Dante, MADI, Thunderbolt and other technologies to connect S6L into

any new installation or existing environment. Avid claims the Venue|S3L-X offers ﬂexibility due to its size and weight, and says it allows sound professionals to more easily meet the increasing scope, size, complexity and diversity of today’s live sound requirements. Engineers are able to mix and record live shows more efficiently with the Venue|S3L-X, says Avid, and create new material or mix down live recordings for commercial purposes.

New school communication system FRONTROW CALYPSO A new version of the Conductor digital communication system from FrontRow is being demonstrated in the Diamond Lounge. Conductor creates a single interface to handle campus-wide paging, control, and emergency response using the school’s LAN. New features include better disaster recovery, device discovery, mapbased point-and-click paging and a more elegant control station for the front office. Hundreds of North American school districts use Conductor as a ﬂexible network-based alternative to older analogue paging or intercom and bell systems.

“Many schools still have paging systems that haven’t changed since the ﬁrst moon landing,” said Sean Penn, FrontRow’s director of product management. “Even a new analogue system is pretty ill equipped to handle emergency scenarios or even commonplace needs like shifting a bell schedule, and yet it’s more costly to maintain than Conductor because you have to pay a technician every time you need a change.” The new Conductor release expands on the platform’s digital advantage with new features, including: easier paging and intercom via maps and custom images; server disaster recovery and automatic snapshots; email

encryption; and FrontRow device discovery speeds installation and customisation. Stephanie Griffin, director of instructional technology at Piedmont Uniﬁed School District in California, US, has been impressed by the system. “We have seven schools and our district office running Conductor,” she said. “As it is an IP-based system, we have implemented ﬂexible zoning, coordinated emergency alerts with PC desktop messages, and can intercom with any room in any school. We were excited about the ability to quickly restore from any snapshot in the new version, and the upgrade process was seamless.”

SMART BUILDING VOX POP Over the last decade our industry’s mindset has been moving to a much more holistic view of integrated systems in smart buildings. Manufacturers and integrators alike partnering with builders and architects to bring technology into smart buildings much earlier in the process. This is not only changing how we deploy technology in a building, but also how buildings are designed. The biggest opportunity for manufacturers and integrators alike is in partnering and educating outside of our traditional verticals and working with builders and architects.

Chris Bundy Control brands marketing manager, Core Brands Stand: 1-N53

TECHNOLOGIES AND VIEWPOINTS FROM THE CONNECTED BUILDING SECTOR

Where are the biggest opportunities for our industry within smart buildings? With advances in technology and our partnerships with companies like Jaguar Land Rover, who we’ve been supporting recently with their Smart Home technology demonstration, we see an audio ecosystem developing that will totally revolve around the end user. One example is that when you’re listening to music in your home you will be able to get into your car and the same music will carry on playing through the car’s audio system. Step out, and the same music seamlessly continues on your phone or mobile device. This is one of a number of interesting opportunities we are currently evaluating.

Rayner Sheridan Director of marketing, Meridian Audio Stand: 7-X180

The biggest opportunity is in the continued growth of the UC environment, given the impressive revenues from Microsoft, Cisco, and Polycom at the top end. I am continually surprised at how many organisations have not yet implemented a full UC infrastructure. As companies evolve their working environments, UC will strengthen and grow beyond the enterprise level to small and midsize businesses and across every single vertical. Our job is to ensure our clients’ audio experience is the best and educate them on the impact that good audio has on the quality of their experience.

I think that making things more efficient in any and every sense will have the most impact. Drawing on energy conscious products that require less power, increasing the efficiency of communication between different elements, increasing the efficiency (and delivery) of system generated data back to the user, and more.

CV KNX links fingerprint scans with automated building systems EKEY BIOMETRIC SYSTEMS The intelligent house is becoming a reality through the combination of finger scanners and automation systems for private homes and businesses. To interconnect both systems, biometric systems specialist ekey offers two converters, the CV LAN and the new CV KNX, which will be launched in the second quarter of 2016. In combination with the CV LAN, drivers are available for integration into well-known brands such as Crestron, Control4, Vantage, AMX or Gira. The UDP data package sent from the ekey finger scanner to the automation system contains user name, user ID, finger ID and device ID, and this information can be used to trigger fully personalised scenarios. The CV KNX will be KNX certified and so, says ekey, make the device easy to configure via the ETS software. In addition to the main feature of the ekey system, access control, end users can control other systems, such as the alarm system. Furthermore, customised scenarios can be configured for security, as while one finger can be used for opening, another one can be used for the silent alarm function.

Imini features a new user interface, designed to offer greater ﬂexibility

Automation provider HDL has announced the launch of the HDL InteliCenter flexible automation controllers. The InteliCenter has been created to meet the varying requirements of both end users and integrators, with a powerful processor, easy to use app, online cloud storage, third party compatibility, and simple configuration. Specifically designed to meet a diverse range of environments and requirements, the InteliCenter features the ability to accept ‘bolt on’ upgrades, such as an emergency

power source, a specialist interface, shock sensors, a 3G module, or any number of add-ons which slot into the InteliCenter’s expansion ports. The ability to work with both wired and wireless automation systems means user convenience is increased and installation time is reduced, says HDL. The InteliCenter will have out-ofthe-box compatibility for a hefty 34 automation protocols. This means that regardless of which system is used, the chances are that the InteliCenter can take instant control of a user’s preexisting automation system, notes HDL.

VOX POP In a word: people. Ours is a people industry because we help others while we help ourselves. Most show attendees think they are here simply to improve their offerings and skills, but the most meaningful beneﬁts come when they extend their ISE experience to their employees, customers or perhaps a fellow ISE traveller. Attendees have many different lifestyles, languages and social norms, but ultimately they all come here to share a common experience and then extend that experience out to others back home.

Away from your own stand, what are you most looking forward to seeing at ISE 2016? I have to admit I’m looking forward to visiting the Drone Arena. I haven’t had a chance to see such devices in action directly though I’ve watched video. If drone technology can be made safe and cost-effective – and I’m sure that it can – it will completely transform the distribution of products. Drones started as a military technology and are being marketed as leisure products – I’m very much looking forward to seeing how much progress has been made into turning them into a proposition that works in a professional, commercial context.

StepArray+ gets first showing ACTIVE AUDIO ISE 2016 sees the first major public showing by Active Audio of the StepArray+ active DSP column. The column loudspeakers are designed to equip large rooms in which sound reverberates. Mounted vertically, these columns, whose vertical directivity is digitally controlled, are said to provide excellent reproduction and intelligibility of voice and music. The StepArray+ is claimed to combine all of the advantages of DGRC – Digital and Geometric Radiation Control – technology with the power of Dante in a range of self-powered beamsteerable column speakers. Models range from 1.5m to 4.5m for flat or tiered audiences. According to the company, Digital and Geometric Radiation Control technology allows for fewer DSP and amplification

channels to be used in a column, thus bringing down the cost of an installation, while retaining the highest level of performance. Active Audio says that a key beneﬁt of DGRC columns is that it is possible to place the electronics outside the columns, resulting in easier installation and maintenance, the sharing of electronics between multiple columns, and the possibility of placing security electronics in a secure room with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Active Audio provides beamsteering software which is said to make modifying the directivity pattern of StepArray+ columns very straightforward. The software can be run on any device equipped with a browser, and enables integrators to show their clients real-time simulations of direct sound coverage.

DRAPER New, larger sizes for its TecVision Engineered Surface Technology line are being shown by Draper. Optically seamless TecVision screens are now available up to 7m (23ft) high. “When we introduced TecVision we limited the sizes to 15ft in viewing height because 15ft was the largest we could provide without traditional seams,” said Bob Mathes, AV/video sales and marketing manager for Draper. “We decided that we should leverage our seaming expertise along with our state-of-the-art TecVision technology to come up with a way to make bigger surfaces.” Instead of using traditional seams, or taking the very expensive approach of having a seamless substrate, Draper took a different approach.” “We decided to fuse a base substrate which resulted in a ﬂatter base material with a stronger weld,” continued Mathes. “With the ideal

substrate perfected we could then use our TecVision formulation process to create a perfect and optically seamless viewing surface.” In September, Draper added two new viewing surfaces to the TecVision Engineered Surface Technology line. The XT1100X White is said to offer an extra wide viewing cone and typical contrast with an on-axis gain of 1.1. Draper says it performs best when projector brightness and screen size mean that a minimal increase in gain is needed. It is also available as an acoustically transparent surface. The XH700X Grey also features an extra wide viewing cone, and delivers high contrast; on-axis gain is 0.7. It is designed for blending applications on curved or ﬂat screens where ambient light is present. Like all other TecVision surfaces, both XT1100X White and XH700X Grey are certiﬁed by the Imaging Science Foundation for colour accuracy, and are 4K ready.

We paid attention to the fact that the customers often look for an easy way to communicate beyond the enterprise network,” said Michael Gotalsky, TrueConf CEO. “Webinars – as a part of a dedicated videoconferencing server – are a convenient way for users to participate in group conferences by following the link, a feature well-known from cloud-based products but now made to be truly secure.”

cases users can employ their personal devices to communicate with each other. The ClearOne COLLABORATE Pro 600 is a great example of a cost-effective, standards-based room system with built-in cloud conference technology. It allows users to easily bridge PC, Mac and mobile devices for full collaboration using tools such as content sharing, chatting, hand-raise and whiteboards.” An important element to successful collaboration is sound quality. “Revolabs delivers absolute audio clarity, which is key to productive collaboration, informed decision-making and effective use of meeting time,” points out Randall Lee, director, strategic and channel marketing at Revolabs. “Revolabs has solutions that ﬁt every application and any size space, allowing users to communicate clearly and collaborate effectively wherever they are.”

‘Revolution for the meeting environment’ DIGITAVIA Heralded by reseller Digitavia as a “revolution for the meeting environment”, ActivConnect is a wireless connection and video conferencing device launching at ISE. Made by Promethean, ActivConnect is designed to connect any smartphone, tablet, phablet, PC or Mac across multiple networks, from corporate to guest networks, and to any display, along with

providing full videoconferencing capabilities. Digitavia says the ActivConnect will also seamlessly connect any device wirelessly to a display; once in a video call users can then share wirelessly connected content in the call. Darren Pitt, sales and marketing director, commented: “ActivConnect is changing the audiovisual landscape. To say it’s a revolution for AV and videoconferencing is putting it mildly.”

Wire, Wireless and Fibre – Understanding Bandwidth Speakers: Simon Buddle, CEDIA EMEA; Geoff Meads, Presto AV

Speaker: Jon Peterman, Icon Business Solutions Do you remember why you started a business? Has the initial excitement disappeared leaving just stress and little reward? Do you feel trapped working ridiculous hours with no time to take stock and plan for the future? This course will explore how to run your business rather than letting it run you. We will discuss the three key areas of Time, Team and Money; identifying simple yet highly effective strategies to help you achieve your key business goals, personal aims and ambitions.

Our thirst for data is huge. With 4K and even 8K video on the horizon it’s about to get even bigger! If you want to deliver reliable data (especially for video) then you need to understand bandwidth. In this course we’ll start by looking at binary data. We’ll then use simple bandwidth calculations to understand how much bandwidth each system needs, and compare those bandwidth requirements with the capacities available from common carriers. Students will leave with a clear understanding of data, bandwidth and capacity. They will also be able to assess and apply bandwidth ﬁgures to real-world situations.

A container is a metafile, a file can store multiple types of data in a structured format. A video container holds all the different files and data the player requires to play the video. This may include one or more audio channels, one or more videos, graphics files, metadata and data files. Metadata ID ‘data about data’ is a data structure that organises information the player may need, including, but not limited to, timing information, window size, what codec(s) is being used, titles, program information, bookmarks and closed captioning. This presentation will explain the concept, function, and various types and uses of containers employed in AV media streaming today. It will clear up the differences between container and codecs and help the student understand the underlying technology in delivering AV content.

Twenty-Minute NAVS: Security Against Hackers Speaker: Kevin Huysegoms, CTS, project manager, A-Knowledge

Speakers: Tom Colman, Applications Engineer, Shure Distribution UK; Stuart Stephens, Sales and Project Engineer, Shure Distribution UK The key to a successful presentation is to communicate a clear message. With substandard audio, this can become difficult. When the message is hard to hear, ears can get tired and people get distracted. You will be guided through the difference between just hearing someone, hearing someone clearly and fully understanding every single word, and learning what equipment and techniques you can use to attain this.

Security is paramount in today’s AV systems as hackers have been penetrating our market looking for new targets. There is a public search engine that crawls the internet looking for devices being exposed to the public. AV integrators sometimes don’t even know that their devices are publicly accessible, leaving the possibility open for their products potentially being hacked from anywhere in the world. Join this session to look at how hackers ﬁnd a way into your AV system.

The Disciplined Usage of Change Orders – Nothing is Free

In 20 minutes you can learn how to calculate the wattage you require to power a loudspeaker, given the acoustical properties of the space and the speciﬁcations of the loudspeaker. Power up your skill and practice measuring ambient noise and understanding loudspeaker speciﬁcations.

Speaker: Brad Malone, MA, PMP, Partner, Navigate Management Consulting Many integrators have a difficult time communicating and managing the change order process – and therefore leave money on the table – causing conﬂict between sales and implementation, and increasing the level of frustration of their integration labour pool. An organisation must begin with educating the client about the process, having a comprehensive scope of work, and the internal discipline to capture and plan the impacts of project changes.

Site surveys are an incredible client education tool, yet many AV integration companies (and account managers) see them only as a form to be ﬁlled out as part of the internal proposal process. These companies miss a golden opportunity to educate their clients on the true complexity of the undertaking and how the integrator will manage key interdependencies to alleviate chaos and blame later in the project. What is usually conveyed to the client, the engineer and the project manager is how simple this project will be – with the complexity, missed client expectations, and change orders showing up later.

Q Series projectors launched CHRISTIE Featuring improved warping and blending, Christie is giving the ﬁrst showing of its new Q Series 1-chip DLP DWU1052-Q and DHD1052-Q projectors at ISE. The DWU1052-Q features WUXGA resolution and delivers 10,000 lumens of brightness, while the DHD1052-Q supports HD resolution and delivers 9,500 lumens. For applications including concerts, live theatre, lecture halls, conventions, hotels, public spaces, the projectors can be deployed in portrait or landscape modes and deliver images to ﬂat or curved surfaces. Operational in either single or dual-lamp mode, the small form factor Christie Q Series is equipped

with eClarity - image processing that is said to deliver enhanced pictures by providing superior control over sharpness, gloss and shading. With built-in High Dynamic Contrast Range (HDCR), even image ‘washout’ from high ambient light conditions can be eliminated, the company claims. The new Christie Q Series models also feature a built-in automated dual colour wheel to quickly select between best colour or brightest light. “The simultaneous blending and warping, combined with the ability to project in either portrait or landscape mode, means the new Christie Q Series models provide greater installation freedom, whether it’s a ﬁxed installation or a rental staging application,” said Curtis Lingard,

product manager, Christie. “Built into the same small chassis as our existing and very successful Q Series, the 1052-Q models bring even more brightness in the same unbelievably small form factor. This allows it to ﬁt into small spaces and go unnoticed while the focus of the audience remains on the stunning images, all at a low cost of ownership.” Other features of the new projectors include reduced noise levels thanks to what Christie says is a unique cooling design that minimises the number of fans; a versatile lens suite including 0.38:1 ultra-short throw; 3GSDI and HDBaseT; and a built-in LCD display for status and monitoring.

AvediaStream Transcoder updated EXTERITY A provider of enterprise IP video technologies, Exterity is talking about its recent upgrade to the AvediaStream t5600 transcoder to bring new video sources into the IP video system and to enable it to distribute video beyond the LAN to remote and mobile devices. In addition to extending the reach of IP video services, the updated transcoder enables legacy equipment such as older set top boxes to adapt to the move from MPEG2 to H.264, a standard that opens the door to the distribution of more HD channels on digital terrestrial (DTT). By adding the AvediaStream t5600 transcoder v 1.1 to an existing system, organisations can convert new HD TV transmissions based on the H.264 codec for playback on existing MPEG2 equipment. Exterity says this updated AvediaStream t5600 is especially relevant for the French market, where DTT will see the terrestrial transmission of MPEG2 TV channels end from 5 April 2016.

“Increased demand for HD content has led the broadcast industry to adopt H.264 as the new standard for HD distribution, limiting the frequency and multiplexing requirements for operators,” said Colin Farquhar, CEO at Exterity. “Our upgraded AvediaStream t5600 transcoder v1.1 sits on top of the organisation’s legacy IP video system and immediately converts H.264 transmissions for playback on MPEG2 equipment, reducing the organisation’s needs for new hardware.” “This solution ensures that organisations distributing video via their IP network no longer have to update their infrastructure to address this evolution. This is especially crucial for our French customers distributing DTT content, who will otherwise end up with black screens from April 2016,” Farquhar added. The AvediaStream t5600 Transcoder is part of the latest developments of the Exterity enterprise IP video solution being showcased at ISE 2016.

International version of AV estimating software JETBUILT ISE 2016 sees the release of the international version of Jetbuiltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AV estimating software. Jetbuilt launched the US version in June 2015 and international integrators have seen the beneďŹ ts of the web-based, platform-agnostic AV proposal software. According to Jetbuilt, as the only comprehensive AV proposal software that works on Mac OS, integrators from Africa, South America, Canada, the UK and other locations gravitated to the Jetbuilt solution for easy, accurate proposals.

The international version includes currency options, default tax rates by country and the ability to label the tax ďŹ elds (VAT, sales tax, labour tax, and so on). Over 25% of JetBuiltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current customer base is now international dealers. The software works on either a Mac or PC and includes a robust database of products that are updated by the Jetbuilt team as manufacturers release new products. Integrated dealer pricing is managed via manufacturer authentication, by directly adding prices to a project, or uploading price sheets to Jetbuilt for free data entry

to the dealer account. Integrators can include their own labour and design rates, which the software then recalls for subsequent proposals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of our ethos is listening to our customers and giving them the tools they need to make their jobs easier. Our dealers are now spending 15 minutes to create a proposal that used to take three to four hours,â&#x20AC;? said Paul Dexter, founder and designer of Jetbuilt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our users receive free updates every single week based on dealer input. The international version of the software is an evolution that our dealers requested.â&#x20AC;?

capabilities. This forces equipment manufacturers to bear the design complexity and cost of integrating multiple chipsets. The BlueRiver 400 chipset increases the extension range to 250m, while delivering invaluable AV processing functions such as broadcast-quality scaling, light compression, audio embedding/deembedding and down-mixing.â&#x20AC;? In addition to zero-frame latency transmission and end-to-end processing of video and audio signals, the BlueRiver 400 extends GbE, USB 2.0, RS-232 and IR signals. Its support for CatX or ďŹ bre cable types also reduces the complexity of design and simpliďŹ es procurement and inventory management for manufacturers, said Ahmed.

The evolution of collaborative spaces As collaborative working practices evolve and AV solutions spread beyond the boardroom walls, so too do the needs and expectations of end-users The AV conferencing market continues to grow and evolve at a rapid pace. In the corporate segment in particular, AV solutions are no longer limited to boardrooms or large multi-purpose rooms, rather are being increasingly deployed in smaller collaborative meetings spaces - so called ‘huddle’ rooms. As adoption has increased so have the expectation and demands of end users. In huddle room applications, configurable, small, networkable audio conferencing solutions are key. In boardroom conferencing

applications, there is an expectation of ‘invisible’ audio: intelligent, networkable, audio conferencing solutions which deliver high-speech intelligibility yet no longer sit on the table. Given that most AV solutions now reside on networks, both IT and facilities managers expect that audio deployments are not only easily scalable but also simple to monitor and control. At ISE 2016, Shure will introduce new AV conferencing solutions which address these trends and needs -

Mood lighting systems offer the user the ability to recall a scene, or mood of lighting edge, 0-10V and DALI options for dimmable drivers. The world of LED lighting is changing fast, the company believes, and picking a route through the somewhat baffling range of products and confusing terminology is hard. To assist with this, Rako offers LED lamp testing in its lab facilities, allowing installers and specifiers to be certain of dimming performance before installation. With control options ranging from keypads, remotes, tablets or smartphone Apps, Rako claims that it provides the user with ultimate flexibility.

For the first time in a compact Monitor Audio in-wall speaker, the range-topping CP-IW460X employs a version of the high frequency ribbon transducer from the company’s Gold and flagship Platinum speaker lines. Being ultra-light and with no break-up, the ribbon is claimed to display extraordinary detail retrieval across a wide and linear response, which extends beyond 50KHz to reproduce what Monitor claims is perhaps the most neutral and natural high frequency performance available from any in-wall speaker design. The ribbon can be rotated to accommodate horizontal and vertical installation.

The NEO-Extension unit is being presented to the market at ISE, expanding the public address and voice alarm system’s portfolio of LDA Audio Tech. The Spanish manufacturer says the LDA NEO is a featurerich EN 54-16 certified system (2426-CPR-076) that offers an all-in-one cost-effective PA/VA solution in a compact unit. It includes eight class D amplifiers in a configuration of 8 x 60Wrms or 4 x 120Wrms, an audio matrix, five audio inputs, line-supervision and back-up amplification. Among other features are an event configurator and audio over Ethernet capability.

With the launch of the NEOExtension unit, the company says the NEO system can be easily scaled up to 1024 zones. NEO-Extension units can be connected to NEO using UTP cables in a daisy-chain configuration. Different NEO-Extension models are being introduced for the first time during ISE 2016, the NEO-Extension 8120 with eight 120Wrms class D amplifiers and the NEOExtension 4250, configurable to 4 x 250Wrms or 2 x 500Wrms. Demos of the NEO and NEOExtension, along with other products and developments of LDA Audio can be found on their stand in Hall 7.

Hensley: “Dolby Atmos takes home theatre sound to the next level”

SPEAKERCRAFT

Judged by their peers ALCONS AUDIO Providing the sound system for the Audio Solutions Theatre is ISE Technology Partner Alcons Audio. “Being a theatre right in the middle of a noisy trade show,” said the company’s managing director, Tom Back, “it requires special attention to get perfect speech intelligibility in the seminar space – while, at the same time, preventing noise leakage to the show floor as much as technically possible.” “And,” he laughed, “we’re trying to do that in front of an audience that knows all about the technology. It’s no easy task, and requires dedicated precision tools to get the job done.” Alcons has installed a proribbon sound system, comprising two arrays of six LR7 line-array

modules each and two BC332 cardioid subwoofers. The LR7 consists of one 6.5in woofer and the RBN410 4in pro-ribbon driver for the mid and high frequencies. Due to the all-natural cylindrical wavefront of the RBN401, Alcons claims that the LR7 offers very sharply controlled throw and coverage, with a very high gain-before-feedback right under the array. “Think Lavalier mics on stage,” smiled Back. The BC332 is a self-contained cardioid subwoofer, featuring a front-positioned X-vented 18in high-output woofer and a rearpositioned side-vented 15in high-output woofer. This set-up, combined with the integrated processing of the ALC, offers a 22dB rearward rejection of low frequencies.

Both the LR7 and BC332 are powered and controlled by proprietary Sentinel 4-channel amplified loudspeaker controllers – in effect, a system controller with integrated power amps on board. A 4-in/4-out matrix enables analogue and digital AES3 inputs up to 192kHz sampling. The Sentinel has Signal Integrity Sensing on board, dynamically and automatically compensating for the effect of long speaker cables. Recent projects that feature the Alcons LR7 micro-line-array systems include the University of Aachen Germany; St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Manhattan, NY; the Royal Conservatory in The Netherlands; the Swedish National Theatre Stockholm; and the Broadwayupcoming production of Bright Star.

The Right Touch ELO TOUCH SOLUTIONS Some technologies are so ubiquitous that we use them without thinking about it. Touchscreens are a good example, as Servaas Kamerling, president EMEA at Elo Touch Solutions, explains: “Touch is basically everywhere. Wherever you are in a business-to-business environment you’ll encounter touch, whether it’s checking in at an airport, playing a game at a casino, or point-of-sale or point-of-information in a retail store or hospitality.” Whenever you use interactivity to access information or make a transaction, the chances are that you will encounter Elo technology. The company invented the touchscreen forty years ago, and

Servaas Kamerling tells ISE Daily why technology is such a touchy subject now has more than 20 million installations in over 80 countries. This number is set to grow, says Kamerling: “Touch is very much on the increase – look at the iPad. People are so used to touching. When I was growing

up, you were discouraged from touching screens!” Elo operates in many markets, but for ISE 2016, the company is highlighting digital signage and POI, and showing innovations like cloud-based content delivery. “Touch bridges the gap between bricks-and-mortar stores and online,” says Kamerling, “it’s not just about looking at home or on your mobile device, or touching the products in the store, but bringing the same experience in-store to enhance the shopping experience. Customers have high expectations – they want lots of choice and they want information very quickly. Touch can help retailers deliver that and more. At the end of the day, it’s all around interactivity.”

Unveiled at CEDIA last year, ISE sees the first major public showing of Speakercraft’s line of architectural in-wall speakers featuring Dolby Atmos technology. “Dolby Atmos takes home theatre sound to the next level,” said Bill Hensley, director of marketing at Core Brands, Speakercraft’s parent company. “It goes well beyond simple surround sound to a completely immersive audio experience.” “Our new AIM Series 2 is more revolutionary than evolutionary,” Hensley continued. “It is designed to support the most sophisticated installations, demanding sonic performance, and advanced object-based surround audio platforms such as Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D and DTS:X. The re-crafting

effort addresses every aspect of the speaker, from front to back, resulting in a sound solution you’ll have to hear to believe.” According to Hensley, AIM Series 2 adapts technology that was once only utilised in large sound reinforcement experiences, and introduces the adjustable pivoting ARC Tweeter Array that he claims is nothing short of ground-breaking. By incorporating multiple tweeters in a line array, Hensley notes that AIM Series 2 delivers focused high frequencies further into the listening area than standard tweeter configurations. The ARC Tweeter Array is said to lower the crossover point to increase the sound pressure level at the critical mid-range frequencies so that, acoustically, listeners enjoy a much larger sweet spot.

INTERVIEW: Knowing what’s possible Renowned physicist and futurist Dr Michio Kaku is giving the Friday Keynote, entitled ‘The Road to Perfect Capitalism’. He spoke to ISE Daily editor Paddy Baker about artificial intelligence, augmented reality, Albert Einstein and Flash Gordon’s friend Dr Zarkov It may seem strange for a theoretical physicist, whose daily work centres around the rarefied topic of string theory, to be someone with a strong track record in predicting the future, but to Dr Michio Kaku it makes perfect sense. “Being a physicist allows me to predict the future, because I know where the laws of physics constrain us, and I know what’s possible and what’s impossible. Many times I read predictions by futurists and they violate the laws of physics.” So, for instance, he can rule teleportation, cold fusion and certain forms of time travel as avenues for future progress – although other forms would be possible if you had the energy of a black hole available. “But on the other hand, you can also see what’s possible: for example, the basic carrying capacity of laser beams is near infinite – you could put the entire transmission of the planet earth on a series of laser beams.” Dr Kaku, who holds the Henry Semat Chair in Theoretical Physics at the City University of New York, explains how his inspiration came at a young age from two prominent figures – one real, one fictional. “When I was a child, we all heard that Einstein had died without

completing his final dream of a theory of everything. So I wanted to complete that dream. But on Saturday mornings I used to watch Flash Gordon on television – and that series, that was made in the 1930s, introduced me for the first time to starships, to cities in the sky, to rayguns, to aliens and outer space. And I was hooked! But later, I began to realise that to really understand the series, you have to understand Dr Zarkov, who was the scientist – he made the starship, the city in the sky, the invisibility machine. Then later I found out that Dr Zarkov was a physicist – in fact a physicist patterned after Albert Einstein – so I went full circle.”

EVERYWHERE AND NOWHERE Dr Kaku believes that the emergence of chips that cost about a penny “in the coming decades” will lead the way to a world where the internet is “everywhere and nowhere”. Just as electricity is prevalent everywhere we go today, chips – and more importantly intelligence – will be “woven into our clothing, walls, ceilings, floors – we won’t even think about it really. You’ll just walk into a room, talk to whatever, and things will talk back to you.”

He believes that autostereoscopic 3D lenticular TV will be available within five years; further ahead, our living rooms will have intelligent wallpaper, made from bendable plastic screens. “You’ll be surrounded by three-dimensional images as you sit in your living room. In a football game you’ll see the ball go way overhead as you sit in the middle of the screen.” Applications for these technologies go far wider than entertainment, he points out – particularly since artificial intelligence has reached the point where it can carry out simple Q&A. “When you want to talk to a doctor, you’ll simply talk to the wallpaper and ask for a doctor and boom! Robo-Doc appears. Robo-Doc is artificially intelligent, and it answers questions in whatever language you want.” Similarly, he says, RoboLawyer will be able to access legal precedents and give sound advice, “almost for free”; Robo-Engineer will be able to diagnose what’s wrong with your car and 3D print replacement parts, without you having to leave your home.

AR AND CONTACT LENSES We will be living with augmented

reality in the next 10 or 20 years, he says, for which an important visual display will be the contact lens. “You’ll simply blink and see your friends, you’ll see a biography next to their name, and if the person speaks to you in Chinese, it’ll give you a reasonable translation right there under the image in your contact lens.” All this obviously has significant implications for the worlds of education; “Who will be the first people to buy internet contact lenses? Students taking final exams!” – and of work. If you want to keep your job, he says, make sure it’s

one that demands common sense or pattern recognition, as those are human abilities that are hard for AI robots to replicate. We cover much more during our conversation, including harnessing the power of thought, taking photographs inside the brain, and how technology will make supply and demand “perfect” – but I don’t want to spoil the Keynote for you. Make sure you catch Dr Kaku in the Forum at 9:00 tomorrow morning. To register for the Friday Keynote, go to https://www.iseurope.org/ friday-keynote
