Recording as a service becomes reality

Stadiums alive with sound and vision

STARLEAF Unified communications are being elevated by a cloud recording service from StarLeaf that provides a simple way to capture and share video conferences. StarLeaf Encore is StarLeaf’s new cloud recording service. As a new addition to the StarLeaf Conferencing services portfolio, Encore is available to all existing and new customers that need to record, save and share conferences. Now, recording as a service is available on a per-licence basis, so there is no need for hardware or a lengthy set up. Once Encore is activated for a customer, all meeting hosts can select ‘record’ when scheduling a meeting. The service is available to all StarLeaf

customers, including those who have Cisco, Polycom or Lifesize endpoints registered to the StarLeaf Cloud. Customers also benefit from a tightly integrated environment that allows recording to be initiated, interrupted and resumed directly from the StarLeaf touchscreen controller, all while the meeting takes place. “For video users the world over recording meetings has moved away from the category of ‘nice to have’, to become an essential component of their collaboration toolkit and a way to preserve corporate memory,” said Mark Loney, StarLeaf CEO. StarLeaf Encore is designed for capturing and sharing training sessions, HR meetings, product demonstrations, corporate news and more.

BY GEORGE COLE What have Taylor Swift and the 2012 London Olympics got in common? The answer was revealed by Scott Willsallen during the keynote presentation at this year’s Sports Venue Technology Summit at ISE 2016. The Summit, organised by SVG Europe and RH Consulting, with title sponsorship by Blackmagic Design, covered many aspects of event technology and implementation. Willsallen is founder and director of Auditoria, a company which designs and delivers audio and communications systems for high performance venues and events like the 2012 Olympics. “Our job as consultants should be to improve the experience of not just the audience, but the hirer. Venues compete with each other and our job should be to help that stadium make more money and host events that otherwise would not be there,” said Willsallen. Many sports stadiums are trying to

The Sports Venue Technology Summit at ISE 2016 maximise their revenues by hosting music concerts or special events like Monster Truck Fests. “Music events are fantastic for stadiums,” noted Willsallen. “They can be launched in a few days and gone again in a couple of days. And every single person who enters the concert has a €20 note that they want to spend on beer.” Willsallen is not impressed with many stadium audio systems: “The general approach to stadium sound is outdated and often doesn’t meet the audience expectations, because people are used to listening to good sound in a car or at home,” he commented.

And the Taylor Swift connection? At the 2012 Olympics more than 70,000 LED panels were placed amongst the audience, turning the area into a giant LED screen. A downscaled version of this technology was used on Taylor Swift’s 1989 Tour, with the audience wearing LED wristbands synchronised with the music and lighting. “Major events have the money that allows creative people to invent things that become commercial products,” said Willsallen, “What starts off as remarkable and unobtainable, becomes part of a special event or even a regular event.”

Showcase for new projection screens ADEO The FrameLess screen from exhibitor Adeo is described as featuring an innovative structural solution with a special aluminium profile designed to prevent distortion and ensure absolute flatness of the screen. In order to maximise the screen’s tensioning capability, Adeo has implemented a system for anchoring the canvas with metal springs to keep the projection fabric firmly stretched over time, avoiding the risk of rippling or creasing. FrameLess is available in a range of surfaces, sizes and aspect ratios and comes with a magnet anchoring kit for mounting flush to the wall. Also on show on the Adeo stand is the company’s Cinema screen.

So many of the entrepreneurs in the audience today are small to medium private companies who think that all the investors are looking for are public companies, or the opportunity to invest early and go quickly to an IPO. But it’s not true. We want to break that myth.” Moving on, the panellists shared

Capable of being built in sizes up to 24m, it features structural bars at regular intervals to increase the stability of the inner structure. The aluminium frame is completely enveloped in the screen fabric which is fastened directly to the frame via Adeo’s new anchoring system. The company is also showcasing its frameless curved screen, which is available in sizes between 2m and 6m and in any of Adeo’s six projection surfaces. Adeo’s Prestige screen features a black, ultra-slim aluminium frame. The company recommends the installation of optional LED back-lighting for an illumination effect that lends warmth to the wall. The Prestige screen is available in five sizes up to 4m.

The third section of the discussion was ‘advice for entrepreneurs’, where the panellists gave tips for pitching or presenting to a well qualified investor, as well as some do’s and don’ts for the world of investment capital and M&A. An interactive Q&A followed, with a community-building networking session rounding off the day.

The company’s new mediahub table tank solution is the ISE 2016 focus for PureLink. Incorporating what the company describes as both centralised and decentralised AV topologies, the housing is handmade and this, together with its modular design, allows it to be tailored to any environment. The units are scalable as either a daisy chain or star topology solution. mediahub enclosures are designed for fixed horizontal interior installation

and can be mounted into almost any table, desk or other furniture item with a maximum thickness of 16-40mm. They feature dual 230V power sockets that can be fitted with the five most common international socket styles. Enclosures are coated with varnish in a variety of colour options. Other key features include fast USB charging and an Ethernet connection. The units can be equipped with the LU-SHD-310SM Presentation Switcher or LU-TPR-150CR Presenter, and RS232 control is possible via the Uplink app which the company

says will soon be available for Android. Automatic input detection is supported, as is presenting at the touch of a button thanks to the Show Me button. Both systems support HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA and audio, and feature a built-in scaler for multiple signal formats and resolutions. Also on show on PureLink’s ISE stand is the Ultimate Series for HDMI cables, featuring the UltraLock-System for locking the HDMI plug securely.

New IR lecturing, distribution systems showcased TAIDEN Claiming that it is the world’s first, Taiden is highlighting its new Digital Infrared Wireless Lecturing System. The company notes that systems in different classrooms do not interfere with each other; even when multiple systems are operating at the same time, nether crosstalk nor interference will occur. The digital infrared technology also delivers resistance to HF-driven lighting and good operation in sunlight. Taiden goes on to note that its system also ensures privacy,

as infrared signals do not pass through walls or ceiling. Both pendant and handheld microphones are available. Also on show on the Taiden stand is the company’s Next Generation Digital Infrared Language Distribution System. Compliant with IEC 61603-7 and IEC 60914, the new system is capable of distributing eight, 16, 32 or 40 audio channels, which can be flexibly configured. Because it uses 1-8MHz frequency, it too is undisturbed by HF-driven lighting sources, and is unaffected by sunlight.

As with the wireless lecturing system, the use of infrared technology provides a high degree of security and privacy, eliminating the possibility of eavesdropping on potentially sensitive conversations. The LCD receiver display shows channel number and the complete language name, as well as battery and signal status. Taiden notes that it invented the world’s first infrared simultaneous interpretation system in 2001, with the first digital infrared wireless conference system following in 2008.

InfoComm hails new era for AV 4K without the heat DAKTRONICS

INFOCOMM Technological advances are creating opportunities that are almost inconceivable in scale, believes David Labuskes, executive director and CEO, InfoComm International. So much so that innovations in video and audio technology, advances in digital signage and the maturation of control systems, he says, “are leading us into an arena that is so much broader than what has traditionally been defined as commercial audio visual technology.” He added, “I fundamentally believe that people coming here to ISE 2016 are those who recognise that and are looking for, and finding, the potential that is out there.” The organisation has placed education at the centre of its ISE 2016 plans with a series of initiatives on and around the showfloor. “We’ve been trying to find the right format with which to engage visitors with training at trade fairs and we nailed it at this show,” declared Labuskes. “From our professional courses in which delegates can

Infocomm’s David Labuskes: “We nailed it” deep-dive into hours of technical content, to our flash training programme, we have educated more people at ISE 2016 in just the first two days than at any previous ISE show.” InfoComm had made much of its aim to build a show which generated more business, over more days and with more excitement.

Saving speakers from shouting HUMANTECHNIK Three new products aimed at the education and conference market are being showcased by the Audioropa division of the Humantechnik group. The FrontRow Juno system is a sound field system to enhance the voice of a speaker or teacher, enabling a more consistent coverage for a classroom. The wireless IR system with digital platform ensures clear understanding regardless of the student’s seating position, claims the company. Michael Koger, of Audioropa customer service, said: “The starter

system comprises a loudspeaker tower which sits at the front of class, and a teacher microphone that can be worn around the neck. Because the teacher doesn’t have to speak very loud they can protect their voice.” “In addition you can have up to four student microphones which you can hand out around the classroom,” Koger added. “There is also an additional loudspeaker, which can be mounted on the wall or ceiling of a larger classroom for more coverage.” Supplied with a foot and a VESAcompatible wall mount, the system can be used in a portable or a fixed stationary way.

“I don’t think there is anybody experiencing ISE this year that is questioning whether or not we delivered on that promise,” said Labuskes. “The show floor is not only full of people, but full of opportunity and excitement and energy. I couldn’t be happier and we are proud to be co-owners of ISE with CEDIA.”

Also on show is a tamper-proof wall-mounted version of the company’s PROLOOP LOS induction loop amplifier. The unit is intended for the operation of low-overspill systems, in large event rooms and conference halls up to 1,000sqm. The amplifier is equipped with automatic gain control to produce stable sound with high quality speech reproduction, even under difficult acoustic conditions, said the company. “After you put the cover on it, the unit is fixed and no-one can remove the plugs or readjust the settings.” Also on show is the PR-22+, a secure IR receiver. “It allows private conversations, and so can used in banks or courtooms,” explained Koger.

A new, interactive online questionnaire designed to engage consumer and professional audiences on The Future of the Connected Home, has been introduced by CEDIA EMEA at ISE 2016. Located on the CEDIA EMEA website, and available for all members to embed on their own website, CEDIA says that this useful tool will help the industry better understand the needs and views of its target audiences, at the same time as educating them about key facts and issues in connected home technology. “The connected home landscape is evolving and becoming more complex as it does

so,” said Matt Nimmons, CEDIA EMEA’s operations director. “In this world, extracting knowledge about our customers and potential customers, their requirements and their behaviours, will help our industry remain relevant, develop the right business models and continue to grow as a profession. This tool will be a great icebreaker for audiences new to our industry, helping profile their level of understanding and giving us and our members valuable information.” “We recognise that educating consumers and specifiers also plays a critical role,” continued Nimmons. “This interactive questionnaire will help us share important information on the

Taking microphones horizontal ARTHUR HOLM A unique horizontally retracting system for ‘gooseneck’ style microphones for meeting rooms has been launched by Arthur Holm. This retracting system, the DynamicTalk, only requires a minimum depth on a conference table, so is useful for furniture integration situations where the company’s vertically retracting DynamicTalk products are not suitable. The company also launched a retractable monitor for meeting room tables, DynamicShare, that integrates a video distribution and

selection system. This is the first monitor launched in the market that has no need for external devices to distribute, share and select the information. Montse Romero, head of international sales at Arthur Holm, said: “This helps people share and collaborate, as everything is in one cable. There is nothing else like this in the market.” The company is also presenting DynamicChairDisplay, a retractable motorised monitor, integrated into a chair’s armrests, only visible when needed and safely stored in the armrest when not needed.

How do you solve performancelimiting heat emissions as you increase your 4K display inventory? LED screen specialist Daktronics has the answer. Its new indoor UHD screens are designed for maximum image quality and minimal heat loss. “Managing heat in an LED display is paramount since it is responsible for prematurely degrading LEDs and, for indoor product, heat generated by a display impacts HVAC requirements,” said Pete Egart, VP international, Daktronics. “One of things we’ve done is to feed less electricity into the components (generating less heat) but we still get twice the brightness.” Available in a 1.9mm or a 2.7mm line spacing, the panels feature rapid

processing technology which enables them to operate at half the power consumption of an industry standard solution and yet still feel cool to the touch even at full brightness. “We’ve been in this business 47 years and learned a lot about how to control all the aspects of LED that can contribute to its failure,” he said. “A lot of other companies will still have to tackle these problems.” The introduction of large 4K panels has prompted creatives to design content framed by lots of white, much like a magazine style. “Since white is a combination of all colours, full white will use maximum power and can cause burnout on inferior display technology,” he observed.

connected home with these audiences to inform the choices that they make. The interactive questionnaire is the foundation to our understanding of the market so that we can make sure CEDIA and CEDIA members are correctly targeting the right customers.” The interactive questionnaire forms part of what CEDIA EMEA says is its substantial investment in a dedicated marketing campaign to help the organisation achieve ambitious goals for raising the profile of the industry, achieving greater alignment between specifiers, manufacturers, installers and consumers and to become the voice of the industry in 2016.

Weatherised line adds to CDD appeal

OLED premium signage shows off curves LG

MARTIN AUDIO Martin Audio has extended its popular CDD install series with the introduction at ISE 2016 of weatherised variants. The CDD-WR line will start to ship from early April. The CDD Series features patent pending Coaxial Differential Dispersion technology which delivers improved coverage and consistency, with often the need for fewer speakers than those with traditional fixed dispersion X° x Y° horns. Martin Audio leads to significant benefits across the installation value chain. CDD-WR loudspeakers meet a rating of IP54, and are accompanied by a full range of weather-resistant mounting brackets. They are designed for outdoor operation where the system will be subject to changing environmental conditions, but sheltered from direct exposure to the elements.

Luke Ireland, MD of Martin Audio, said: “We see this as a great opportunity to extend the CDD brand and technology into the external space. It sounds great, the coverage pattern is consistent across a really wide area, and so the number of boxes required is much lower. It can deliver quite a significant cost saving, as well as the product being quite aggressively priced to begin with.” “The launch of the weatherised range enables customers to buy from one vendor a solution that fits both internally and externally in their installations.” The loudspeakers feature a weatherised water resistant grille made from zinc plated mild steel with a powder-coated finish. CDD5TX-WR and CDD6TX-WR feature a dual cable gland for easy daisychaining of cabinets without the need for external breakout boxes, and also feature a 100/70V

Moving from the consumer market of mobile devices into B2B signage are LG’s OLED displays, with three sexy screens showcased on the LG stand. LG’s OLED technology has been designed in three ways for the digital signage market: Curved; Dual View; and Arch. Each OLED screen creates a spectacular display for advertising and information, and should appeal to the premium retail market primarily, stated Jamie Bugler, head of B2B sales for information displays, UK and Ireland. “OLED has been a major success in our consumer area, which is why we are moving it into B2B. OLED will be a big push for LG over the next 12 months with products hitting the market in the second half of the year. All these new products will come with our Web OS, so customers can run their signage solutions on our OLED products.”

The introduction of the Ovation E-910FC, a new five-colour RGBA+Lime LED ellipsoidal, expands the Ovation Series of professional lighting. Powered by 91 x 3W RGBAL LEDs, the Ovation E-190FC produces a flat, even field of light for colour mixing and an output rivalling that of an incandescent fixture, claims Chauvet, offering 1,894 lux at 5m with a 26° lens. It also features a Virtual Colour Wheel with 31 colours that match popular gel colours when projected by a tungsten fixture, as well as nine colour temperature presets from 2800K to 6500K, with high CRI that create whites identical to a tungsten source. Along with its brightness and colour rendering capabilities, the Ovation E-910FC offers a full complement of control options that Chauvet says makes it well suited to many commercial applications. Users can choose from a wide range of DMX personalities (5, 7, 10, 12, 13 or 15 channels) to achieve flexible control, such as ultrasmooth 16-bit dimming of individual

Why mission-critical installations require KVM matrix switches KVM matrix switches are the preferred option in AV systems requiring the highest degrees of reliability, resilience, flexibility and interactive response Audiovisual installations are becoming more sophisticated and complex, needing to cope with everincreasing video resolutions, greater data throughput and wider access requirements. At the same time, the value of content is rising; it may be commercially sensitive and need to remain within an organisation or may need to be displayed in a highly controlled manner. However, the proliferation of networks and easier remote access to computers runs counter to security. Transmitting and copying data is now one of the simplest tasks any computer user can undertake. Video switches enable unrestricted connection between source devices and distant displays and have radically changed the structure of the AV industry. They deliver the considerable advantage of ﬂexibility: allowing video

streams to be switched to different displays. The source computers can be located in access and environmentally controlled locations. However greater levels of interactivity and complex data transfer requirements mean that nowadays applications and systems must respond to user commands instantly, with no lag or inaccuracy, or be able to send or transmit data ﬁles in either direction without fear of it failing or being accessed by unauthorised operators. Herein lies a problem: video matrix switches, based on HDBaseT (or proprietary protocols) or videoover-IP, adequately transmit video in the forward direction, but do not have the capacity to return large amounts of data or interactive commands. Enter the KVM matrix switch and extender – IHSE’s Draco tera, for example. Not only does this class of

Enno Littmann Managing director, IHSE device deliver lossless, artefact-free video with imperceptible latency, up to and including single and dual head HD and 4K resolutions, but it permits a totally reliable and instant return path with USB-HID for keyboard and mouse control and USB 2.0/3.0 for data. To the user, the computer truly appears to be alongside their workstation, even though it may actually be hundreds of metres away. For professional AV systems requiring high levels of security, robustness and ﬂexibility, KVM switches provide an ideal solution. Signals can be controlled and user access limited. KVM matrix switches also include interface protocols that make them simple to connect to professional third party control systems; such as those supplied by AMX and Crestron.

Designed for users needing 24/7 operation, Toshiba’s TD-X552X and TD-X552M videowall units feature improved content management and settings that provide full control at all times. The two displays can be used either standalone or as part of a wider tiled configuration, making them suitable for a variety of digital signage and control room applications. Users can join up to 100 units (10 x 10 configuration) in either portrait or landscape orientation for large-scale high-definition visuals with bezels of only 3.5mm. In addition, both of Toshiba’s new videowall units allow Ultra High Definition (UHD) tiling of up to four units (2 x 2 configuration) without the need for special PC equipment. Users only require one input to output content across all screens

via DisplayPort 1.2a, rather than providing an input for each display. The appropriate model for a given application – the TD-X552X or TDX552M – depends on ambient light and the image brightness required. The TD-X552X delivers 700cd/sqm brightness while the TD-X552M provides 500cd/sqm. Both models beneﬁt from a 178º viewing angle. A new feature for Toshiba’s videowall range is the inclusion of a built-in media player for simple content management without the need for an external player. Input and output connections include RS-232/ LAN control as well as DVI-D with HDCP. HDMI, DisplayPort, audio jack and speaker jack. An Open Pluggable Speciﬁcation slot makes setup and installation quick while removing the need for external cables and playback devices. Both units feature embedded speakers (10W + 10W).

DIGITAL SIGNAGE

PRODUCTS, SERVICES, TECHNOLOGIES AND OPINIONS FROM AROUND THE SHOW

ANALYSIS: Display trends Inevitably, trends in the digital signage industry reflect what’s going on in the broader AV world. However, as Ian McMurray describes, they often take on their own particular slant If you’re looking to find out what will be trending in digital signage over the coming year, ISE 2016 is unquestionably the place to be – and with more than 400 exhibitors claiming to have something to offer, there will be no shortage of opinions, ideas and products. So: what can visitors expect to see in terms of digital signage displays? In a market that’s developing so rapidly, it’s difficult to ascertain what’s mostly likely to have the most impact over the next 12 months. One trend, though – and it’s not unique to digital signage – is that LED screen technology seems destined to become widely popular. LED has always had significant advantages over LCD – among them, that it’s inherently brighter and more robust, and it doesn’t have bezels. That has long made it the go-to choice of screen technology for outdoor deployments – but its coarse pixel pitch meant it was unsuitable for indoor applications. No longer. LED pixel pitches are now down around 1.5mm, making LED perfectly viable for close-up viewing. Exhibitors like Absen, digiLED, Leyard and SiliconCore are leading the charge.

One of ISE’s more compelling demonstrations, by the way, is likely to be found on the Daktronics stand, where an LED module will lie at the bottom of a ﬁsh tank for the duration of the show to demonstrate the robustness of the technology.

ROBUST And speaking of robustness… As digital signage becomes increasingly pervasive, it will ﬁnd its way into increasing numbers of inhospitable environments. Making screens resistant to the weather, to vandalism and to direct sunlight is only becoming more important, with exhibitors such as Hyundai, Sony and Toshiba – among others – demonstrating screen solutions that are characterised by their ruggedness. But is LED already last year’s thing? Commentators are talking about electronic paper displays (think Kindle-alike) – and Planar has already demonstrated a 55in OLED digital signage screen. A seethrough OLED screen, no less. The second big trend is perhaps the increasing intelligence of digital signage screens as manufacturers look to make installations easier, more cost-effective and more

scalable. Here, Intel’s OPS – Open Pluggable Speciﬁcation – is largely the key. Launched late in 2010, with the explicit design goal of helping standardise the design and development of digital signage, it’s now at the heart of offerings from manufacturers including LG, NEC and Samsung. OPS allows the attachment of a digital signage media player – typically based on Android or Linux – creating an ‘allin-one’ solution.

INTERACTIVITY Next on the list of trends is interactivity. Like LED and OPS, it’s been around a while – but, in the same way as with LED and OPS, 2016 will see it assume even more signiﬁcance as retailers, especially, look to engage customers. Touch and multitouch screens are everywhere from the likes of 3M, Displax, Displaymedia, iiyama, MultiTaction, Panasonic – and Lang with its onyxTOUCH. First-time exhibitor Magic Schaufenster will have what looks like a fascinating demonstration of its virtual store based on movement and gesture sensing. Interactivity with mobile devices – driven by technologies such as NFC – is also likely to be everywhere.

4K resolution is the way the AV industry is moving, and digital signage mirrors that – allowing not only for compelling, eyecatching images but also the ability to deliver four HD images to a single screen. ViewSonic is far from the only exhibitor to be offering it. Bigger, more compelling images are driving digital signage – and here, tiled displays from, for example, Barco and Christie are ﬁnding favour. With bezels ever-narrower – now at 3.5mm screen-to-screen and less, as with Mitsubishi’s LM55P2 – videowalls are also increasingly appearing, enabled by developments in mounting systems. There are, of course, many other trends driving digital display screen technology. Manufacturers are responding to the fact that environmental factors/power saving are appearing increasingly near the top of customer buying criteria. IP addressability is, unsurprisingly, making an appearance, as is PoE (power over Ethernet). And: will curved screens transition from the domestic environment? The trends seem clear enough. But, if past ISEs are anything to go

by, there will also be some surprise developments. And that’s one of the things that makes ISE an unmissable show.

Large-format DOOH advertising INFINITUS Croatian DOOH advertising network owner Go2Digital recently deployed four of Infinitus’ imotionG6 75in portrait double-sided large-format outdoor LCD advertising displays. At ISE, Infinitus is showcasing a replica of these units, made to operate in the harshest environments. The company says the idea behind the development of this digital citylight was to offer additional value to the cities with useful interactive content for tourists and inhabitants, such as way finding and scheduled events promotion.

This intelligent all-in-one display technology is driven by ultra-silent HVAC that creates an LCD operation environment of less than 25˚C. All electronics are located within an IP66 enclosure, making them immune to dust particles and humidity. The unit’s cooling capability makes it possible to integrate two 2500 nit 75in LCD panels, as well as two 32in inclined touchscreens into single system. According to Inﬁnitus, these units demand minimal onsite maintenance and can be installed in most areas of the world, including near coast locations.

In addition, says the company, imotionG6 thermal management is able to guarantee 110% luminance output in high ambient light conditions for content visibility and extend equipment lifetime. Systems are equipped with cameras and anti-graffiti coating and possess automatic features such emergency alerts and automatic adaptation to ambient light conditions. Displays can be remotely monitored via controlmotion, a free bespoke technical software. It also enables remote diagnostics and tech-team email failure alerts.

Interactive Visions for projectors HB-LASERKOMPONENTEN Interactive Visions, an interaction system by German show laser manufacturer HBLaserkomponenten, includes motion detection that can be combined with video projectors, LED walls and other projection devices. Projected images and animated graphics on walls, tables, the ceiling, the floor or any other even surface become interactive as they react to the motions of people passing by. The system can be used in shopping centres, entrance areas, museums, exhibition booths, bars, night clubs, fashion stores and at product launches to surprise and advertise. Interactive Visions is configured as a combination of a highresolution motion detector and a video projector. The motion detection system is configured

in such a way that it can feed back the motions it detects in a specified area to a computer system, which then controls the projection through the video projector. HB-Laser offers IVS PRO including an integrated computer, control software and a camera with IR filter to be combined with nearly any other form of projection or imaging technology. Alternatively, the IVS ULTRA set and the including LED hybrid video projector is available. Depending on the software configuration it is possible to use different operation modes. Options include: playing games, like virtual soccer and hockey; using it as advertising screen that changes its appearance when people step on the projection; or encouraging visitors to catch user-implemented logos that move away as soon as someone approaches them.

Featured on Stewart Filmscreen’s stand is Tela 80 G2, the company’s newest woven acoustically transparent screen material. “Image ﬁdelity and acoustical integrity are equally important to many integrators all over the world,” said Peter Brown, president of Stewart Filmscreen. “And Stewart Filmscreen delivers. No other projection screen manufacturer offers more acoustically transparent screen material options, more customisation, better performance, or the massive, seamless sizes that Stewart Filmscreen does. “Our legacy in acoustically transparent screens goes back more than 40 years, when we invented the now industry-standard MicroPerf screens and process, allowing integrators to add acoustically transparent options to many of the screen materials in our line-up. Where other manufacturers offer limited acoustic screen options, we give the integrator more ﬂexibility to deliver the best-performing screen for every possible environment.”

How QSC is using principles of physics to provide full-frequency audio quality experience the full woofer range but have a suboptimal mid-range experience. Typical speaker lines will often use a standard horn size with varied woofer sizes. For example, woofers from 8in to 15in might have coverage between 105º and 60º and be paired with a 90º horn. Better sounding audio in real rooms requires consistent coverage across the whole audio bandwidth and through the crossover point. To achieve this, the coverage of the horn must match the coverage of the woofer at the crossover point – the frequency where sound is split between the woofer and horn. A new speaker design principle called Directivity Matched Transition

Stewart Filmscreen’s MicroPerf is, says the company, the industry’s only THX Ultra2-certified screen material, and has more than 30,000 micro-perforations per square foot, compared with 5,500 in a commercial movie theatre screen. In addition, the perforations are much smaller, which is said to be ideal for home cinema acoustics. According to Stewart, CinemaPerf is the largest seamless acoustically transparent screen material available. Tela 80 G2 is now available in seamless sizes up to 273in wide; 4K+-rated and featuring finer weave. It supports locating speakers directly behind the image with minimum attenuation and the greatest flexibility for placement. With its 81º wide viewing cone, Tela 80 is said to work with virtually any seating arrangement. The screen surface is completely uniform, resists hotspotting and is claimed to work extremely well with short throw projectors. With a 0.82 gain, Tela 80 can be used with a range of projector light engines and output ratings.

Unleashing the power of video

Better loudspeaker design for ‘real rooms’ Audiovisual professionals have long used ‘squat’ horns as the go-to option for many spaces because they are thought to be efficient at controlling high-frequency coverage. While it’s true they deliver good coverage at the 8kHz frequency, issues come into play for frequencies between 2kHz and 4kHz, and at 1kHz the coverage has suffered a ‘pattern ﬂip’. These issues are hard to avoid when using this type of horn. That’s because coverage patterns for woofers and horns are inﬂuenced by both their size and shape. A conventional squat horn has a pattern control of 90º horizontally by 50º vertically, while a spherical woofer has a 90º by 90º pattern. As a result of these different coverage patterns, those listeners who are off-axis may

Travis Nie Product manager - install loudspeaker, QSC (DMT) from QSC puts the principles of physics into practice by choosing the appropriate crossover point based on the size of the required driver and coverage angle. Speakers using DMT synchronise the horn and woofer size and shape in order to maintain full-frequency audio quality. Look for DMT to be the next generation in speaker standards.

New transmitter, multiviewer launched

Which technology do you think will have the greatest impact on the industry over the next ﬁve years – and why? AV over IP signal distribution. Using the existing information ‘highways’ in customer facilities rather than creating closed proprietary ‘highways’ will change over 30 years of history as to how to design and build AV systems. We underwent change approximately 10-15 years ago when the telecommunication world transitioned from TDM switching to voice over IP. It’s exciting to live through it in the world of pro AV as the technology is ripe to carry huge bandwidth of high resolution over the network.

0.95mm LED display tech demoed SILICONCORE TECHNOLOGY Common cathode LED manufacturer SiliconCore is showcasing its smallest LED pixel pitch display yet: a 0.95mm prototype. The 0.95mm LED prototype brings the beneﬁts of very ﬁne pixel pitch displays to applications requiring extremely close proximity viewing. The display features superb contrast ratio and greyscale qualities, with the ability to achieve brightness of 2000 nits. 4K resolution is

achieved at 165in diagonal and optimum viewing can be experienced at less than 1m. This advancement in pixel pitch, contrast ratio and brightness has been achieved due to SiliconCore’s common cathode driver architecture. The common cathode method reduces the heat output of displays meaning lower power consumption, a longer lifespan of over 100,000 hours, and no need for additional cooling. Eric Li, president and CEO of SiliconCore, explained: “Our unique and patented common

cathode architecture has made this innovation possible, negating the need for an external ballast resistor on the red LED so that tighter formations can be created. We are very excited about the numerous applications for this technology within the corporate, command and control, visualisation and ﬁnancial sectors. At 0.95mm, even the smallest details are visible, so that large data sets can be viewed with the highest degree of precision.”

VOX POP The digital signage industry is exceptionally collaborative and truly global. A successful installation is built on relationships between content management vendors, integrators, technical consultants, hardware vendors and end users. Those relationships are built and maintained at international conventions like ISE, though I never have as much time as I’d like to meet with partners and customers around the world. I know that I’ll be amazed by some of the technologies presented, and look forward to learning about new advances being made in the market.

Away from your own stand, what are you most looking forward to seeing at ISE 2016? Friday’s Keynote at ISE 2016 will be given by noted theoretical physicist and futurist Dr Michio Kaku. If your office is anything like Core Brands’, when this was announced all of the air got sucked out of the room as we all gasped in elated shock. Well… that might be just a bit of an exaggeration, but if there was anyone who could truly provide some industry-wide vision setting for 20 years in the future, it is Dr Kaku.

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

OVERVIEW: Android and iOS technology Smartphones and tablets are having a rapidly growing impact on the residential market – something that is plain to see at ISE 2016, says Michael Burns As Apple and Google add more sophistication to their respective operating systems, almost matched by the increasing screen size of successive iOS and Android mobile devices, so the app developers targeting the residential installation market are bringing greater command and control capabilities to installers and their clients. Developers of multi-room streaming content solutions, home automation and security providers are among the market segments currently taking advantage of these new opportunities. These product areas are well represented on the show ﬂoor at ISE 2016, with dozens of new and innovative solutions to explore.

WITHOUT WIRES Android and iOS devices are almost always combined with WiFi connectivity, making them ideal as a portable or remote controller device. These can be used to simply replace IR

remotes by doing away with the need for line of sight to control TVs and home cinema systems. Previously those with a large music collection would have to organise their audio library using often clunky software on a Mac or PC. Now handy device-based apps are allowing audiophiles to break free of ‘always-on’ computers to organise playlists and control delivery of high-resolution music from home-based NAS systems or high-definition audio streaming services instead. In Hall 10, for example, you can visit Bluesound, which is offering a cutting-edge 24-bit native high-resolution, multi-room streaming music system that can be centrally controlled by an app that runs on both iOS and Android on smartphones and tablets, used in any room. Both control and configuration are also offered by the Lyravox Remote App for iOS and Android, which offers full fingertip control of the Stereomaster, a fully

integrated ‘unicabinet’ audio system making its integration industry debut at ISE 2016. The intuitive app-based controls by Hamburg-based Lyravox means that the Stereomaster needs only the most minimal controls on the device itself, perhaps heralding a new trend in button-free luxury music systems.

AUTOMATION APPS Home automation is another major growth area, with some innovative uses for mobile devices. The likes of iRidium mobile and Bleu Comm Azur (ProKNX) are on the KNX stand to offer installers Android and iOS apps that deliver the KNX system’s Engineering Tool Software (ETS) and similar configurators for smart home installations in portable form. Such apps can be used to finely configure lighting, thermostats and audio through slider bars and other interactive elements on tablet and phone touchscreens. Leviton Security & Automation

Super Clear TV debuts AGATH Being shown for the ﬁrst time at ISE is the Super Clear TV from French manufacturer Agath, which specialises in mirror TVs for luxury hotels, high-end residential, yachts and so on. The company claims that it is signiﬁcantly brighter than other mirror TVs available, and that the

The Super Clear TV is designed for luxury hotels and high-end residential applications

mirror delivers superior reﬂectivity when the TV is not in use. As with Agath’s other TV products, models are available for mounting in-wall and on-wall, and with either integrated electronics or a separate electronic module. Agath describes its TVs as professional-grade displays rather than high street consumer items.

They are completely waterproof, so can be installed in areas such as bathrooms, saunas and shower rooms, and are available in screen sizes between 15in and 82in. One version of the Super Clear comes with a separate electronics module that can be mounted up to 5m from the screen. This, the company points out, has several advantages – notably, in the case of hotels, that in the event of a problem arising, the module can be easily replaced in a few minutes, minimising the chances of breaking the screen itself and also the time the room is out of action. The company is also presenting its range of TVs, many of which are customisable in terms of finish, or can be fitted with anti-glare screens for very bright environments. Mirrors can be supplied in a bluish or bronze tint. Agath can also supply speakers that can carry a finish identical to the surrounding wall and that are IP68 rated, meaning that they can also be installed in wet environments.

has a large range of app-friendly devices which allow access and control of an automation or security system over the internet, with the ability to keep you in charge and in contact via text or email alerts. Even macros can be conﬁgured from the app to enable simultaneous system adjustments throughout the home. Not all such control devices need to be portable, however. The touchscreen support offered by Android and iOS lends itself well to static interfaces to control and support smart technology in the home. The range of design wall mounts for Apple’s iPad tablets from Basalte is one such option, offering a continually charged wall-mounted control screen for audio and home automation. The new iPad Pro’s larger screen is supported by Basalte’s latest mount, the Eve Pro, on show at ISE 2016. Android and iOS devices no longer even need to resemble a phone or tablet. Probably the biggest impact we’re seeing

is the advent of wearable technology and its use as a controller for residential solutions. For example, Leviton has expanded its range of appdriven interfaces to the Apple Watch, offering control over commonly accessed connected devices such as lighting loads, a security system and room temperature from your wrist. Android and iOS devices are replacing smart device controllers and computers across the board; it’s clear that the impact of apps will be greater responsiveness, ﬂexibility and accuracy for both installers and their clients.

Talking about software JANUS TECHNOLOGY Software consultancy Janus is at ISE for the ﬁrst time, to discuss software, integration, app-based control and manufacturerbranded custom installation drivers. The company is offering visitors the opportunity to discuss current and future projects and learn how the Janus team can help neutralise any pain points and provide expert advice and consultation, software-based services via apps or drivers, and bespoke integration with building management systems. “The consultancy is going from strength to strength,” said Richard Caton, managing director. “We’re forming new partnerships with manufacturers and providing insights and access into new technologies that enhance product speciﬁcations and in turn installations around the world.” Janus is also showcasing its new smart location-based

“The consultancy is going from strength to strength” services on the stand. These services are said to allow a smart control system or app to become even smarter, using any available location technology from simple beacons to geo-fencing. “The ability for the smart home, smart building or hospitality venue to interact with users presenting options for control, based on location, is going to be the next big thing,” said Caton. “It’s becoming the norm in retail and we’re helping the natural progression into the rest of the connected world.”

Dual transmitter launch offers UHD over IP JUST ADD POWER Two new additions to the 3G Ultra HD over IP platform are being unveiled at ISE 2016. The ďŹ rst is the 3G+AVP Rackmount Transmitter, a 1U device with three 3G+AVP Ultra HD over IP Transmitters built in. The unit delivers 4K with HDPC 2.2 support, 1080p or lower resolution content from three HDMI 2.0 or 1.x sources over a local area network. It uses a Layer 3 Gigabit Managed Switch, to be decoded by a 3G+AVP Receiver at the display locations. The 3G+AVP Receivers are able to downscale a 4K signal with HDCP 2.2 to 1080p for viewing on HDMI 1.x screens and also upscale a full HD 1080p or lower signal from any HDMI 1.x device, outputting it at a maximum of 4K 2160p for viewing on 4K TVs. There is also a selectable passthrough mode on each receiver,

which delivers the same video resolution output by the source directly to the TV. Just Add Power says the passthrough mode is useful for new 4K panels with scaling functionality, as it will allow the installer to choose which upscaling process is best for the end-userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s application. The second addition to the platform is the 3G+HIFI Transmitter with local HDMI output. This is for 4K distribution projects that require support for uncompressed multichannel audio formats up to and including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. The 3G+HIFI Transmitter is capable of sending uncompressed digital audio formats over the network, including multichannel formats. 3G+HIFI Transmitters also work with existing 3G+AVP Receivers, and can be mixed and matched in the same network as 3G+AVP Transmitters.

VOX POP Everyone loves the freedom and advantages of having no wires when using AV products, so I think ﬂexible mobile operation (everywhere and every time) with secure wireless transmission will be where we will see groundbreaking developments. Drivers will be the need to use existing spectrum more efficiently, improving user experience and better cost efficiency for both manufacturers and end users. 5G may also see broad deployment in three to ﬁve years, and this has the potential to bring enormous shifts across our industry, eliminating some business models and enabling others.

Which technology do you think will have the greatest impact on the industry over the next five years – and why? MQA is going to become the leading format in home audio systems. We have become accustomed to listening to low resolution, compressed MP3 files for convenience’s sake, but MQA is going to change that. MQA brings the sound straight from the recording studio to your audio system, adding so much of the character and nuance that is lost by compressed MP3 files. MQA will become more and more accessible through internet streaming services, which will drive further growth over the next five years.

Networks are at the heart of all tech ecosystems. Networks must evolve from disparate devices to unified and integrated network platforms that manage and harmonise devices and applications. More than just traffic management, network platforms must sense when something is wrong and also be intelligent enough to fix, configure, optimise and continuously upgrade themselves. Network platforms and their integrators must be able to provide a level of IT service and functionality fit for the high-tech lives we build.

International launch of new SaaS tool IHIJI Ihiji is launching its new software as a service (SaaS) tool, Ihiji ServiceManager, to an international audience here at ISE 2016. Designed to help integrators, security monitoring firms and other companies and trades make their businesses more productive and profitable, Ihiji ServiceManager gives professionals the tools they need to set up and maintain recurring revenue service plans. Research carried out by Ihiji showed that integration firms felt they did not have a consistent method for creating service contracts; had no contact system to determine which

clients are covered for various levels of service; did not know how to track prospects or trouble tickets; did not have an effective method for sending monthly bills; and had no centralised place for all customer and site data or a centralised document repository. In direct response to these hurdles, Ihiji ServiceManager allows integrators to set up and store service-plan information and data on all clients and sites and access it through a single, cloud-based system. The tool also helps integrators with existing service businesses to streamline and amplify their efforts. Ihiji ServiceManager gives integrators and their team members, as well as other trades like security companies,

everything they need to run successful and proﬁtable support service businesses, including: contact management; service plan management; RMR billing; technical support tracking; and centralised project documentation. Ihiji says that ServiceManager will soon provide current Ihiji Invision users access to a single, integrated user interface for both services. For Invision users, this represents an entirely new user experience design that is expected to help simplify the remote network management process even further. Ihiji is exhibiting on the Control4 stand.

Intercom makes debut

A new Intercom function allows users to link separate ELAN systems

ELAN ISE 2016 sees the EMEA debut of the ELAN Intercom from Core Brands. Enabled in ELAN Software 7.2 and above, the new Intercom function allows users to link separate ELAN systems – including those running on different networks across multiple locations – to enable families and homeowners to be more connected than ever. Available now, the ELAN Intercom allows users to make point-topoint calls globally, to any interface across any linked system. For intercom zones that share the same network, users can ‘page’ to groupcommunicate with all intercom zones on the network. “The interconnectivity of separate ELAN systems across different locations provides home and business owners with an ease of communication that was previously unavailable on the market,” said Core Brands control products manager Robert Ridenour. “A family with multiple residences can communicate through their ELAN system across separate homes, while a business owner can use ELAN Intercom to communicate

with employees across multiple locations from virtually anywhere in the world.” ELAN Software 7.2 and 7.3 automatically refreshes compatible ELAN control interfaces – touch panels, remotes and the ELAN g! mobile app – with the ELAN Intercom functionality, and integrates with the property’s controlled AV technology. This provides homeowners with an instant uniﬁed audio/video intercom system that is globally accessible. “Unlike hardware-based intercom systems, the ELAN system’s new software-based feature utilises the AV infrastructure already established in our customer’s property,” said Core brands software product manager, Tom McKeon. “The ELAN Intercom supports virtually unlimited zones, and can share speakers with a multi-room audio and video system, with the home’s current televisions and IP cameras. It also integrates with third-party door stations for audio/video monitoring, enabling communication with visitors at their door with from any ELAN interface, whether it’s wall-mounted, wireless or mobile.”

In which areas do you see your company becoming involved in the Internet of Things? IoT will have a strong impact in the automation of delivering the AV interface required for a speciﬁc person, scenario or technology use. We will be working with our integration partners to build solutions based on such platforms as Intel Unite, which will deliver seamless AV to the user. Many of our vendor partners are already developing IoT-enabled products and this will become a standard throughout most of our business areas.

The IoT will heavily inﬂuence and change how digital signage is operated. In the retail sector for example, connecting devices and products offers scope for retailers to answer the critical question “Who is my customer?” Through knowing the customers, providing personalised and dynamic information about the products and taking customers’ requests into consideration, retail digital signage will become much more effective and successful.

Fisheye lens for dome projection NAVITAR The company’s line of HemiStar projection lenses was augmented in December when Navitar added the HSRZ-55 fisheye zoom lens. The F-Theta wide angle fisheye lens was designed to work with 1.38in panel projectors based on Texas Instruments’ 4K DLP technology, including models from Barco, Christie and Digital Projection. The HSRZ-55 is claimed to be the industry’s first fisheye zoom lens available for the high brightness 4K projectors on the market today. The 1.18x zoom lens has a focal length range of 5.5mm-6.5mm and achieves vertical projection angles from 150.3° to 179.4°. According to Navitar, the key advantage of the HSRZ-55 for integrators is the ability to change the position of the

projector relative to the spring line of the screen, and continue to ﬁll the dome. “When planetariums are upgrading to new high brightness 4K projectors, but require the equipment to be installed in the pit, the zoom gives the installer ﬂexibility when positioning the projector,” said Donald Ehinger, VP international sales at Navitar. Navitar says that the HSRZ-55 has been installed and tested by teams developing planetariums, dark rides and outdoor spherical displays and all are extremely pleased with the resolution, brightness and uniformity of the lens. Navitar’s new zoom is said to be a perfect solution for planetariums, amusements, large-scale events and spherical display applications as well as for projecting into spheres larger than 1.5m.

Rack for Dante/MADI conversion YAMAHA COMMERCIAL AUDIO Featured on the Yamaha stand, the RMio64-D is a rack unit for Dante/ MADI conversion in broadcast and live sound applications. The new RMio64-D allows audio from a CL/QL live sound (or other Dante-equipped) system to be converted to MADI and fed to an OB vehicle or other recording facility. Alternatively, it can allow a MADIbased console to be integrated into a Nuage system for post-production. The inputs and outputs of the RMio64-D feature built-in sample rate conversion, meaning sources with differing word clocks can be connected without causing noise or dropouts. In addition to redundant Dante network connections, the RMio64-D supports MADI redundancy through simultaneous coaxial and optical connections.

The RMio64-D rack unit targets broadcast and live sound applications a standard multichannel audio format and the Dante digital audio networking protocol, which is rapidly increasing in use worldwide,” said Nils-Peter Keller, marketing director at Yamaha Pro Music and Pro Audio. “Built-in sample rate conversion effectively overcomes word clock synchronisation issues that would otherwise limit the choices in system design, while extensive compatibility with CL/QL series consoles and Nuage systems signiﬁcantly enhances the value of those products for use in a wide range of situations.”

Making screens invisible

Also on show, the company’s in-ceiling tab tensioned screen is invisible when not being used. The ﬂush and sleek high-level industrial aluminium housing is designed to integrate seamlessly in any home theatre and office as a concealed screen solution. The tab-tension provides a perfectly ﬂat surface and the reference 4K material ensures no hotspotting or texturing, delivering the ultimate in picture quality, the company says.

ALCONS AUDIO The CRMS-SRIW surround is a 2-way passive-ﬁltered full range loudspeaker from Alcons Audio, and is designed to meet all the requirements of current and future cinema surround sound formats. Featuring Alcons’ pro-ribbon driver technology, the company says that the CRMS-SRIW surround combines exceptional clarity and intelligibility with an unusually high dynamic range, offering the most realistic sound reproduction possible. Typical applications include inwall surround sound system for premium home cinemas, high-end mix/screening rooms, and qualityconscious post-production facilities and dubbing stages. The CRMS-SRIW system consists of an RBN401 proribbon driver for HF and a vented 8in mid-bass for LF reproduction. The CRMSSRIW HF section features 800W peak power input, enabling a 1:16 dynamic range which is said to deliver up to 90% less distortion from 1kHz to beyond 20kHz. The patented horizontal dispersion of the RBN401 is claimed to offer stable coverage to a larger number of seats in the auditorium

offers a 10mm frame. According to the company, this borderless design resembles a giant ﬂatpanel TV display that, thanks to its ECO5D anti-ambient light screen surface with 1.35 high gain, achieves an unprecedented performance even in daylight. Optional LED back-light kit is available for a more ambient glow, framing the picture to amplify presentation.

while, due to the ‘compressionless’ principle of the pro-ribbon transducer, the system has a linear response at any SPL. The CRMS-SRIW is designed as a matching in-wall surround system for the CRMS system. By using identical MHF components, a perfect voicing matching between screen and surround system is achieved, according to Alcons, resulting in an exceptionally wide and uniform sound stage throughout the entire listening area. The ultra-shallow enclosure of 150mm is said to provide for easy, low proﬁle in-wall mounting.

SHENZHEN COMTE INTELLEGENCE TECH CORP

Speaker has high dynamic range

A newly developed LED optics platform featuring what the company describes as an exclusive crystal-based engine with HLD – High Lumen Density – technology is at the heart of a projector from Hitachi making its first ISE appearance. Hitachi’s first-ever LED projector, it delivers more than 3,000 lumens of brightness and approximately 20,000 hours of expected operating life. The company say that LED will be its choice of SSI – solid state illumination – technology for future projectors that it introduces in the sub-5,000 lumen category. Hitachi believes that it is a more suitable choice because LED is a more common and reliable technology and is used in daily life. “In creating our first LED projector our goal was to produce something truly different – and better – than previously existing

LED technology,” said Mike Morin, strategic sales development manager. “The projector on show at ISE delivers improved image quality that is readily apparent, from a reliable, cost-effective conﬁguration that’s adaptable to a great variety of business, commercial and educational applications.” Because of the purity and intensity of the green light from the crystal rod at the centre of HLD technology, the RGB colour space is said to be signiﬁcantly larger, especially in the blue and green regions, resulting in far more accurate and lifelike colour reproduction. In addition, thanks to the rapid refresh rate of the HLD design (about ten times faster than the refresh rate of lamp-based technology), the convergence of the three LEDs is, Hitachi claims, much better than previous designs, yielding exceptional image sharpness and clarity.

Vertige controller upgraded

Wireless conferencing BOSCH SECURITY SYSTEMS

ANALOG WAY Analog Way is showcasing a new version of its Vertige controller for the support of matrix routers and external IP devices. Described as a powerful remote console for wide screen and multi-screen configuration, the Vertige has, since its launch, been enhanced through several software releases, with the most recent one (V02) said to bring major improvements. The Vertige can now control most popular upstream matrix routers (such as those from Extron, Lightware, Kramer and Blackmagic) and allows dynamic routing of the video signals to the LiveCore devices’ inputs according to screens content. If a matrix router is not available in the default set provided by Analog Way, the company’s technical support team can generate a custom descriptor that can then be directly imported into the Vertige via USB. Other improvements include the configuration and control of the confidence screens, usually

The newest firmware for the Vertige allows it to function as a show controller dedicated to the speaker, to display the content visible to the audience and more. At ISE 2016, the Vertige is being showcased featuring firmware V03 which supports the latest LiveCore features: 4K inputs, layer cut and fill, advanced layer management, and monitoring widget layout customisation. This version is, says the company, a new step in its strategy to develop the Vertige as a powerful show controller, with the product’s operation environment now enlarged to include remote

control of external IP devices. By simply pressing a user key button on the front panel, operators can now perform standard operations on external IP devices such as recalling presets on any Analog Way Midra device, controlling the playback of a media player or positioning a PTZ camera on the ﬂy. As for matrix routers, the company says that the library of external IP devices can be easily extended without the need to upgrade the Vertige.

Plixus architecture has been extended by Televic to create what it claims is the most ﬂexible conferencing environment by allowing a combination of multimedia and audio-only units, paired with audio and video input and output, anywhere on the network. Tabletop and ﬂushmount conference devices and input audio and video from any source can, it says, be mixed and matched into

the conference network to create tailored, rich meetings – all with a single Cat5e cable. This, according to Televic, provides customers and integrators with a competitive edge to configure any conference room and make installations child’s play. Plixus already supports Dante to input and output audio in a variety of options in uncompressed 24-bit 48kHz sound. Now, Televic has added video to the mix using a new Video In and Video Out Box. A Video In Box allows the injection of any video input, ranging from presentations, live video and more into the Plixus network, while a Video Out Box brings the output of any video stream onto the network and at the fingertips of any participant. Using a video selector, participants can switch between up to six video streams, on the fly. Plixus also provides fully lip-synced 1080p/60 HD video with a delay of less than one frame.

AUDIO VOX POP I still maintain that the continual auction of the 800MHz channel for 4G telephony providers has and will be one of the biggest changes to the way in which wireless audio is deployed in integration environments. Years before this auction, Revolabs demonstrated the potential of wireless microphone integration using the DECT protocol we pioneered, giving customers a real, future-proof solution for their migration strategy. It is a real compliment to Revolabs and our growth when some of the giants in wireless microphones see our platform as critical to staying relevant in the wireless integrated audio space.

UPDATES AND OPINIONS FROM ISE’S NEWEST THEMED AREA

What do you see as the most signiﬁcant developments in the pro-audio landscape? Integrators are taking a greater interest in their customers’ businesses. And, in turn, they are demanding that manufacturers bring them more specialised solutions that address the speciﬁc needs of the projects they are tasked with. Systems-based solutions, coupled with optimised software, will allow AV systems to do more at lower cost points while offering greater functionality and control.

Blake Augsburger President, HARMAN Professional Solutions Stand: 1-F6, 1-F2

Network interoperability across multiple devices and systems and platforms is far and away the most signiﬁcant thing our industry is developing. The line between system integrator and IT professional has been getting more and more blurred over the past several years and as more options become available, and costs continue to drop so that networked audio systems work their way into smaller venues, the need for uniﬁed control and operability is becoming paramount.

Russell Harpham Regional director EMEA, Revolabs Stand: 9-D115

The ZSM-1050 message manager is being introduced into the PA market at ISE 2016. This latest development from the Fonestar R+D department allows the conﬁguration and creation of multiple playlists used as music channels, scheduled messages and events activated through contact closure. The device is equipped with an internal memory of 8GB to store the audio ﬁles necessary for all its functions. Four audio outputs allow

D&B AUDIOTECHNIK Designed specifically for d&b amplifiers, the DS10 Audio network bridge – launching here at ISE – provides 16 AES3 output channels via the Dante AoIP transport protocol, four AES3 input channels and an integrated 5-port network switch. Using the DS10, multiple channels can be sent from the console to the amplifiers using a single network cable. At the amplifiers, the DS10 distributes the audio signals to the AES3 inputs within the d&b amplifiers. The DS10 sends metadata information, such as Dante channel labels and cabling information, via the AES3 channel stream to the latest generation of d&b amplifiers for simplified routing and troubleshooting. The company claims the DS10 is more than just an interface between the Dante protocol and the d&b amplifiers. Four AES3 input channels enable use as a Dante break-in from a front of house console. Additionally, the

DS10 offers a ‘bypass’ mode, which allows operation as an AES3 splitter, directly distributing the four AES3 input channels to all AES3 outputs. The wide range power supply is suitable for mains voltages 100 – 240V, 50-60Hz, and features overvoltage protection of up to 400V. The integrated 5-port switch offers options for a primary and redundant network, as well as further connectivity for external devices, such as a laptop to access the d&b Remote network, and control amplifiers using the d&b R1 remote control software. The DS10 can transport both audio and remote control data via the same network cable. All four channel d&b amplifiers [the D80, D20, 30D and 10D] can be controlled via Ethernet using the OCA protocol. These four-channel amplifiers provide comprehensive DSP capabilities including two 16-band equalisers and up to 10 seconds of delay for each channel, as well as setups for d&b loudspeakers.

The ZSM-1050 is also equipped with four contact closure sensors which allow programmed events, and four output relays to interact with external units, such as home automation, lighting and so on. The system can be conﬁgured using the display in the front panel, or remotely using the included software. This software allows all programming, management and audio ﬁle-transfer to be undertaken,

The ZSM-1050’s market will be focused on commercial, residential and educational PA installations such as shopping centres, factories, schools and similar. With its remote software control, Fonestar claims the system is already much in demand among companies which have several installations located in different cities across a number of countries.

RDL EUROPE A suite of Dante-enabled products has been introduced by RDL. Designed to provide flexibility, economy and simplicity to networked systems, they interface standard microphone and line-level audio signals, and the entire group of RDL Format-A endpoints, to a Dante audio network. RDL’s Format-A system is a family of compatible products that send, receive and distribute audio over standard CatX cable and connectors. The integration of Dante audio networking with Format-A endpoints provides several advantages, says RDL. It provides the ability to select from a comprehensive array of endpoints – including amplifiers, headphone amplifiers, mic/line XLR and stereo audio wall plates – and locate each mic and line input

or output endpoint exactly where it is needed. It also allows installers to overcome the distance limitations of IP networks with Format-A modules while using standard CatX cable and connectors, and daisy-chain multiple audio endpoints through a single CatX home run. Format-A products include an array of more than 60 standard and customisable Decora-style, rackmount and utility-mount endpoints and user interfaces. RDL says the Format-A and Dante integration will simplify installations and reduce equipment cost. Other new Dante-enabled products interface any OEM product or jack plate, and RDL and OEM power ampliﬁers and mixers to a Dante network. The products being introduced at ISE will be available in PoE and non-PoE models.

Big innovation in a compact system ADAM HALL The new CURV 500 system offers speaker columns that can accommodate up to four modular, curve-shaped array satellites. The result is an extremely clear, threedimensional sound similar to that of large line arrays, claims Adam Hall Group. The system can also be conﬁgured for a wide range of applications; the company gives the examples of both a solo performance at a party, and a sound system application in a small hall. Three basic conﬁgurations are available, the Entertainer Set, the powerful Power Set and the visually discreet AV Set, which can be extended and individualised at any time. Numerous optional extensions are available for this purpose, for example, with the optional wall and ceiling mounting systems, the satellites can be installed anywhere where good sound and subtle appearance are required. For even more power, a

total of eight array satellites can be operated in stereo mode, up to four on each side. Housing options are available in black and white. The system is based on the SmartLink adapter, which allows up to four satellite speakers to be ﬁtted into each other by means of a click mechanism. A connection to the subwoofer is made via the adapter, which also serves as a control unit for the system. The subwoofer also forms a classic bass cabinet and a mixer. Instruments, microphones and laptops can be connected to the four-channel mixer, and taking advantage of the 24-bit processor, 16 digital sound effects can be set within seconds. Built-in Bluetooth technology enables wireless audio streaming. The system also features WaveAhead technology, specially developed by LD Systems, which has three tweeters vertically arranged before a powerful low midrange driver to perfectly merge and distribute the sound.

Networkable speakers on display SOUNDTUBE ENTERTAINMENT Dante and CobraNet platform support have been announced by SoundTube for its STNet IPaddressable speaker system. The STNet system provides a rack mountable 16-port switch with 40W of proprietary PoE (Power over Ethernet) to power the IPaddressable STNet speakers. While standard PoE systems typically provide up to 25W, the company says, the SoundTube system’s 40W ensure good sound levels at the speakers. For increased ﬂexibility in installation, SoundTube’s IP speakers can be set up to work with the STNet-Switch or with standard off-the-shelf PoE plus switches, or in the Dante version with standard PoE. They can also be set up with a combination of different PoE switches in larger installations. Additionally, SoundTube’s IP speakers may be externally powered, enabling their use with standard Ethernet switches.

Another new addition to the STNet system, IP4-BGM speakers, allows connection of one or two audio signals at each IP4 speaker. The speakers then distribute an amplified signal to up to three compatible (non IP-based) SoundTube speakers, The SoundTube IP4 is among the products that which are connected will benefit from Dante and CobraNet support directly to the IP4 speaker.

Column speakers set for innovative coupling DBTECHNOLOGIES The new Ingenia active column speaker series offers a ‘sober’ design combined with advanced DSP functions, says ﬁrst time ISE exhibitor dBTechnologies, the pro audio arm of AEB Industriale. The Ingenia range boasts four models encompassing power ratings from 400W to 900W, all driven by the manufacturer’s Digipro G3 ampliﬁer modules. The amps feature lightweight design, SMPS technology with PSU autorange and are efficient enough to make cooling fans unnecessary. The speakers are equipped with premium low frequency transducers – a 6.5in model for IG1T and IG4T, 8in for IG2T and 10in for IG3T. Compression drivers range from 1in for IG1T and IG2T to 1.4in for IG3T and IG4T. All transducers in the Ingenia series feature neodymium magnets, which improve the speakers’ performance and reliability, while contributing to a reduction in the overall weight. While all of the models of the series are designed to work individually, they can also be coupled by simply turning one speaker upside down and placing it upon the other one. Thanks to infrared technology, Ingenia detects the presence of a second speaker, and an

AVITECH The Pacific MS series is a new addition to Avitech’s solutions for signal switching and command and control. Two models are currently available: the MS-2 is a 2RU model with a 12 x 8 matrix, and the MS-3 has a 20 x 16 matrix in a 3RU chassis. The Pacific MS series consists of a variety of hot-swappable modular input and output cards, along with a control board that offers an in-system GUI and real-time preview windows for source signals. “The Pacific MS series addresses requirements beyond HDMI/SDI signal switching. These matrix switchers are designed for applications ranging from simple HDMI signal switching to more complex multi-user, multimonitor, and multiviewing command

and control operations,” said Morris Gong, president of Avitech. “Working in conjunction with the TitanWall videowall processors, the Pacific MS provides unique integrated solutions that meet the needs of various command and control operations.” Directly through the Pacific MS GUI, the user can preview HDMI and SDI sources and operate on any of the source computer systems. Switching signals requires just a simple dragand-drop. The GUI allows the creation of multi-user workstations, each supporting multi-screen operations and multiviewing. With one-of-a-kind scalable system architecture, multiple Pacific MS units can be administered discretely in separate groups or in one centralised administration.

Potential applications include corporate offices and meeting rooms, university classrooms, restaurants and performance halls. Strategically located loudspeakers and microphones are discreetly integrated into a room to provide a believable acoustic situation for each of the room’s uses that require a unique complementary environment. Adjustments to the reverberation time, early reﬂections and other parameters within the Cue-Station software control surface are said to facilitate enhancements to voice clarity and variable sonic intimacy.

This allows the transmission of high-quality video data and, crucially, ensures that the return channel to the source operation remains free of latencies in the process. The company says that there is no generally applicable answer

to the question of whether an installation should be built on compressed or transparent systems, as this is far too dependent on the application and the given infrastructure in individual cases, and also on the installation budget. For this reason, G&D offers both: KVM extenders for transparent video transmission of up to 4K at 60Hz, such as the DL-Vision; and also high-performance systems that use Guntermann & Drunck’s in-house HDIP compression method in its most recent development stage, level 3.

SMART BUILDING

TECHNOLOGIES AND VIEWPOINTS FROM THE CONNECTED BUILDINGS SECTOR

ANALYSIS: Intelligence is building Adrian Pennington looks at opportunities presented by the Internet of Things in the domain of smart buildings The Internet of Things (IoT) is not only transforming how we manage and operate our buildings, it is presenting new opportunities for creating, operating and servicing facilities and is leading the way for new business value delivery. According to Cisco, the IoT is a $19 trillion global opportunity, with $14.4 trillion at stake in the private and $4.6 trillion public sector over the decade from 2014. CEDIA EMEA chair Kris Hogg reckons the impact on the AV/IT real estate design and install market is for it “to become monstrous... with almost exponential growth.” The principles behind a smart building are, to large degree, a scaled-up version of the technologies being touted for smart home systems. As a basic example, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in smart buildings should be able to switch off lights automatically in areas where there are no occupants, or adjust the temperature according to weather conditions and the number of occupants in a room. “The Internet of Things is the basis that makes the smart building

become reality,” says Laura Lazzerini Neuwirth, project manager at Studio LGL. “Without common protocols, standards and architectures, this concept would not exist. This is why having standards, that are the common communication languages for the smart building, is so important.” The building blocks for the IoT are data, and there is a growing amount and variety of it being generated. Interconnected devices in smart buildings can provide added value in terms of better building performance, energy efficiency, space utilisation and predictive maintenance costs. Navigant Research forecasts

that global shipments of occupancy sensors, carbon dioxide sensors, thermostats and photo sensors will grow to 28.4 million units annually in 2020. More than eight million building management systems (BMS) will be integrated with some form of IoT platform, application or service in four years’ time, according to ABI Research, making them part of a wider and integrated sensing and control network. “Flexible, secure and cost-effective cloud-based applications that can convert the vast volume of data generated by smart buildings into a decision-making platform” will help to expand the IoT market, according

Augmented reality for home control with KNX PROKNX (BLEU COMM AZUR) Exhibitor Bleu Comm Azur EURL, showing with proKNX, is demonstrating its augmented reality realKNX app. Users simply download the app to their smartphone and by pointing their device to a lamp, for instance, can

use their phone’s camera function to switch the lamp on and off. Augmented reality allows the app to recognise objects from windows and shutters to curtains, the outlet of a climate system, a speaker, or even a swimming pool. It is possible to assign these real objects to any KNX

function of an installation. As soon as an object is recognised within the app, the corresponding information will be visible and the slider/button/text/value will be usable directly in the camera picture. Interaction and feedback is immediate.

to Frost & Sullivan. Modern meters are adding communications capability, often wireless, to simplify data storage and analytics in the cloud. An IHS study projects a growth of communicating meters from 132 million last year to 150 million by 2019. All these devices will feed the cloud with massive amounts of data. Algorithms will turn this into intelligence that BMS will be able to act on. According to US-based Continental Automated Building Association (CABA), smart building applications are leading the charge for IoT adoption. In its Life Cycle Costing of Intelligent Buildings, CABA cites the example of Morgan Stanley’s New York HQ, which used smart lighting systems to save $1.28 million on energy. CABA’s reports show that clean energy and efficient building management can create buildings with the ability to produce as much energy as they consume – so called zero net. Smart buildings will increasingly be incorporated into the wider energy control networks of smart cities, linked to transport, water

and air quality. Smart buildings and infrastructure combined are expected to account for more than 30% of the overall smart city market, according to Research and Markets. In turn, the number of smart cities is forecast to rise substantially, in part driven by the growing trend of urbanisation as migration from rural areas accelerates. Notably European examples include Copenhagen which aspires to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025 and Barcelona which pioneered regeneration scheme 22@, a mix of smart urban planning and entrepreneurial innovation being copied by Buenos Aires, Boston, Istanbul and Cape Town. China and India alone are planning hundreds of smart city pilot projects and Dubai aims to be the world’s ﬁrst United Nations’ approved Smart City, part of a global smart city market worth around $1.2 billion by 2019.

Modern whiteboard for modern meetings SMART kapp iQ’s whiteboard allows everyone to collaborate by linking between display and any mobile device

SMART TECHNOLOGIES SMART Technologies is showcasing the complete Smart kapp family for the ﬁrst time in Europe, including its SMART kapp digital capture board and SMART kapp iQ , a UHD display that enables students to contribute to on-screen content directly from their mobile devices, in real time, from any location. The SMART kapp system includes photo capture features; with a touch of the camera icon button, users can capture the progression of a brainstorm or a process during their Smart board session. Clear, bright, white and readable, the content is easy to share. Users don’t have to be in the same meeting room, but can connect to a session wherever they

are via their laptop, mobile device, or tablet. With SMART kapp iQ, they can also contribute to a session. With the latest version of the free SMART kapp app, users can now share with up to 35 remote participants at a time and can use a persistent URL for meetings. With the paid app, users can also pick up a session where they left off. Tobias Windbrake, head of international business development, commented: “Every organisation that has knowledge workers who collaborate in-room or remotely, can greatly beneﬁt from this type of collaborative technology. Many organisations have achieved a measurable ROI within just a few months of their investments.“

Three sound solutions introduced AUDIPACK Three new sound solutions are being introduced by Audipack at ISE 2016. The ﬁrst is the LSS-UFO, which the company describes as a unique audio solution for public areas and boardrooms. A ceiling suspended speaker with four internal audio elements that radiate sound so that a broad beam width is created in the area, the UFO is suspended from the ceiling by four stainless steel wires, which are adjustable in length up to four metres. It is made of aluminium, anodised construction with a black or white facing that makes it suitable for installation above a conference table, or in a restaurant or luxury shop.

The LLS-Boomerang is a solution for placing speakers on columns and on corners in public areas so that the speakers are visually less obtrusive: the angled speaker can be mounted around the corner of a wall or to a square or round column. The Boomerang features a multiple driver system, giving it a wide beam width. With two Boomerang speakers, the entire column is surrounded with sound delivered on all four sides – but it achieves this using only two speakers. The Boomerang is available in custom sizes to ﬁt the width or diameter of the column. The Audipack FSW-Atlas trolley is an all-in-one trolley with invisible

integrated audio in the column. In addition, it also features an integrated three-way power socket for connecting a monitor and peripherals. In the wheel frame of the trolley is a PowerCON power connection, together with RJ45 and HDMI sockets and space for extra connections. With a lock and secure mounting bracket, a screen is easily installed, says the company, with the screen height adjustable to several different positions. For installing additional equipment such as mini PCs and wireless presentation equipment, Audipack provides several brackets, including with integrated power distribution.

New Test Chest MURRAYPRO The new Test Chest from Murraypro is being unveiled here at ISE. Superseding the 3G model, this new version retains the same speed of operation, intuitive touch control of the A+V generation, measurement, analysis and robust case that have always been the Tester’s hallmarks, while introducing a number of enhancements that Murraypro says have already proved popular at prelaunch evaluations. Using industry-standard connectors, Test Chest’s new twin HDVI ports swiftly interface with PCs, cabling and displays to form a self-contained test unit, with a bias towards TVrelated video standards. Test Chest powers virtually instantly, and from a cold start is fully operational in around three seconds, regardless of whether it be generation, analysis, or indeed both simultaneously. According to Murraypro, utilising Test Chest just six times a day over a one-year period, will return a time saving of around 24 hours per year over rival products. In ‘Which-Wire?’ mode, by presenting an unknown signal to the main input Test Chest is awakened,

Test Chest’s new twin HDVI ports interface with PCs, cabling and displays to form a self-contained test unit and continues to self-configure as either a TV monitor, Waveform monitor, or an Audio histogram, according to the nature of the signal type detected; finally the detected standard of the input signal is declared via a banner on the LCD’s screen. Test Chest auto-detects and identifies 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, Trilevel and Comp Sync, CVBS and AES + SPDIF digital audio, and most recently HDVI sources too.

Murraypro’s Tony DrummondMurray is demonstrating Test Chest’s TDR which probes ‘problem’ circuits with needle-like investigative pulses and then displays energy reﬂected from impedance anomalies on a ‘scope’. Similar to Radar, these ‘return’ anomalies, which can be up to 180m away, are displayed on a trace directly calibrated in distance, which speeds and simpliﬁes fault location.

Speakers are ‘ideal’ for Europe BEALE STREET AUDIO Announced in October, the new super-slim, 2-way in-ceiling/inwall, full range ‘Pancake’ speakers are said by Beale Street Audio to be ideal for the European market and in cities or other places where ceiling or wall depth can present installation challenges. The new speakers measure only 70mm deep. Two models are available with more planned for the future. The P4-BB is an in-ceiling/in-wall ultrathin speaker that features a 4in 2-way carbon ﬁbre woofer and 3/4in titanium tweeter. The IPLCR4-BB is an LCR speaker that features two 4in carbon ﬁbre woofers and a 3/4in titanium tweeter. Both speakers feature Beale’s Sonic Vortex technology, which is said to generate rich, deep bass and effortless clarity from what most people would call a ‘back box’. In reality, notes Beale, the enclosure is actually a compact, integrated, tuned cabinet that offers a ‘twist’ on ported transmission line design by optimising air movement to produce much bigger sound than might be expected from its 70mm depth. The enclosure is designed to keep sound from bleeding to other rooms while adding a 6-9dB boost

in mid-lower bass. “We set out to develop an extremely slim architectural speaker, without sacrificing sound quality,” said Mark Cichowski, executive director, Beale Street Audio. “We designed the Pancake to fit within the confines of nearly any wall space.” The speakers are designed to play in full range mode only and achieve a frequency response of 62Hz to 20kHz. The sealed enclosure requires no additional backbox for bracing and is said to assure consistent performance in stereo and multichannel systems by removing the potentially adverse effects of uneven wall and ceiling cavities.

Microphone brings freedom BEYERDYNAMIC A newly developed vertical array microphone with Revoluto technology is being presented by beyerdynamic. As a result of the vertical array, a horizontal corridor characteristic is created

(horizontally cardioid, vertically lobar). This, says the company, gives the speaker even more freedom of movement to the left and right. It is also possible that two participants can share one microphone, or that, at videoconferences, several people

can be recorded. Due to the vertical lobar polar pattern, the gain before feedback is, notes beyerdynamic, optimised for ceiling systems. The new Revoluto microphones â&#x20AC;&#x201C; part of the Classis RM 30/31 series â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are offered as installed sound microphones and as the microphone units for the Orbis and Quinta conference systems.

The Classis RM 30 installed sound microphone is also available in white, which the company notes is preferred for ceiling or house of worship applications. Also on show at ISE is the new GMS 32/52, a shockmount for gooseneck and Revoluto microphones providing maximum isolation from physical vibration. Available with a 3-pin and a

5-pin connector, it has a swivelling lid to close the shock mount when there is no microphone connected. The standard colour is black, but it can be produced in different colours on request.

Measuring speech intelligibility

The XL2 Acoustic Analyzer is designed to reliably measure Speech Transmission Index

Commercial 4K AV Solutions

NTI AUDIO The XL2 Acoustic Analyzer from NTi Audio is designed to reliably measure Speech Transmission Index (STI). The results can be imported into the STI Reporting Tool to create professional measurement reports in accordance with the IEC 60268-16 standard. The handheld XL2 Acoustic Analyzer is described as a standardised solution for portable speech intelligibility measurement of voice evacuation systems and is tailored for quick testing on-site with the measurement results available to the operator in a matter of seconds. Measuring the speech intelligibility of life-safety installations under realistic environmental conditions is often not feasible, NTi Audio notes. Playing the test signal in a railway station, for example, will almost certainly disturb and irritate passengers. The measurement also requires that the ambient noise is constant which is also not easily achievable during the day with numerous other noise sources present. Under such circumstances, STI measurement with the XL2 Acoustic Analyzer is usually scheduled at a more suitable time of the day, such as at night when there are no passengers to disturb and the test is unaffected by other noise sources. In addition to STI measurement at night, the ambient noise spectrum is measured during a typical busy day. The XL2 then combines both measurements, calculating the correct STI value by taking into account the typical daytime ambient noise conditions at each of the measurement locations. The calculation and the detailed analysis are also offered by the STI Reporting Tool on the computer.

UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS EXHIBITOR NEWS AND PERSPECTIVES FROM AROUND THE SHOW

VOX POP Millennials are no longer a new phenomenon, they are now the largest generational sector of the workforce. They demand workspaces that are flexible and mobile. Unified communications needs to adapt in order to remain relevant; it can no longer be separated from collaboration. By merging the two ideas together, a new landscape for the industry is drawn. It is now about putting people at the centre of collaboration, about allowing them to work anywhere, anytime, on any device and about empowering organisations to integrate collaboration into their daily workflows and applications.

How will the uniﬁed communications market change in 2016? The soft codec market will hopefully move towards one predominant player. The market is looking for an AV integrated solution that provides excellent audio and video in smaller collaboration rooms that is simple to use and works with both BYOD and in-room soft codec solutions. This needs to be IT-friendly with monitoring and mass deployment capabilities... and that solution might just come from Biamp!

Free calls between servers TRUECONF In conjunction with the TrueConf Server 4.3.5 release, TrueConf recently announced its new Federation feature; a single address space for all TrueConf videoconferencing products. Federation allows users to make calls, hold conferences and exchange messages between different TrueConf servers, including TrueConf Online users. Federation guarantees that an organisation implementing TrueConf Server will not become isolated from other companies, and staff subscribed to the server will be able to communicate easily and directly without installing and conﬁguring any additional software. The primary feature of Federation is the ability to group local server users with a cloud-based TrueConf Online service, which creates a hybrid videoconferencing system. According to studies conducted by TrueConf, this model is gaining popularity, with about 20% of customers in the CIS willing to use the hybrid model for their videoconferencing solution. “The idea of creating the

Federation feature for TrueConf products was a result of wide distribution of our solutions around the world. More than 1,500 customers have purchased the TrueConf video server solution in the last eight years, and the number of users among cloud-based services of the company is more than ﬁve million worldwide,” said TrueConf CEO, Michael Gotalsky. Dmitriy Odintsov, TrueConf chief development officer, added: “We are going to participate in ISE for the third consecutive year.

Tomorrow’s Trends Today: How Does That Future Look Now?

Room D204

Panellists: Brad Grimes, Director of Editorial Services, InfoComm International L. William (Bill) Nattress III, CTS-D, CTS-I, Director of Channel Strategy, Biamp Systems Florian Rotberg, Managing Director, Invidis Consulting Bob Snyder, Editor-in-Chief, rAVe Europe

If you’ve been to an AV industry conference, you’ve probably heard technologists opine about the future. And that’s good; it’s important to keep an eye on the trends that will affect your business. But how often do you hear experts affirm their predictions, adjust for change, or just plain second-guess themselves? At ISE 2016, our prognosticators will do just that. Building on last year’s Future Trends session at ISE, join InfoComm International and industry professionals as they re-evaluate year-old predictions and offer a fresh take on the technologies that will drive change in the years to come. Among the questions they’ll attempt to answer: • Is there an “estimated time of impact” for the Internet of Things in pro AV? • Now that all displays are 4K, can we focus on 8K? What, they’re not yet? • What do tomorrow’s collaboration spaces look like today? • Will the cloud really take over the AV industry? • If you don’t understand IPv6 and 5G wireless, is it too late?

Join us for a half-day conference focusing on the importance and necessity of actively creating, fostering and sustaining an aligned corporate culture. The conference and panel will include executives from well-respected companies who have garnered success in developing and maintaining a healthy corporate culture. Topics include: the value of transparency, performance incentives, leadership vs. management, metrics and accountability, and more.

Real World Certiﬁcation

Using AES67

Speaker: Wolfgang A Enigk, CTS, Dipl. Ing.(FH), dreischichtbetrieb

Speaker: Richard Zwiebel, Vice President, Systems Strategy, QSC

There are now over 10,000 CTS holders around the world! Hear from one of your peers each day and hear their journey and experience with certiﬁcation, its value and how it has contributed towards their success.

AES67 is an interoperability standard that was developed by the AES that allows products from many manufacturers to transmit and receive audio between them. Several audio networking technologies have emerged and AES67 provides a means of bridging those. This allows the speciﬁer and user to freely select products in the marketplace without the need to be concerned about which network he or she is using. This session will give an overview of what AES67 is, how to use it in your products or projects, and who is using it. Attendees will leave with an understanding of which network technologies are compatible and the steps to take in order to take advantage of it in their own projects. Important switch settings will be covered as well. An introduction to the Media Networking Alliance, the trade association that supports AES67, will be included.

With Surface Hub’s built-in Skype for Business and a host of collaboration tools, such as its intuitive inking and annotation possibilities, an incredibly responsive multi-touch surface, custom-built collaboration applications and voice-controlled speaker tracking dual 1080p cameras, it begs to be integrated with high quality collaboration solutions that companies have already invested in.

Increased scalability, Speakers are installation-friendly versatility, reliability JBL PROFESSIONAL

DisplayNet uses off-the-shelf 10GbE Ethernet technology

DVIGEAR DisplayNet is a new platform for AV distribution from DVIGear that uses off-the-shelf 10GbE Ethernet technology to switch, extend and distribute uncompressed AV signals in real time with resolutions up to 4K (UHD). By leveraging 10GbE technology, DVIGear says that the DisplayNet platform offers increased scalability, versatility and reliability thanks to the enormous installed base of 10GbE hardware used in IT/data centre applications around the world. The ﬁrst DisplayNet product is the DN-100 Series. The transmitter (DN-100TX) accepts multiple signals such as HDMI (with embedded audio and HDCP), analogue stereo audio, bidirectional IR, RS-232, and 1GbE and transmits them over a 10GbE link up to 100m using a single Cat6a or Cat7 cable. This link is then distributed via an off-the-shelf 10GbE

network switch to the receiver unit (DN-100RX), which provides all the signals for output at the destination. Products in the DN-100 Series are designed to maximise system capability and ﬂexibility. They are said to support uncompressed video up to 4K/30p (4:4:4) and 4K/60p (4:2:0) with no artefacts and zero frame latency. Video signals may be simultaneously routed in point-topoint, matrix switching, videowall, and multiviewer modes all in the same system. For more ﬂexibility, each signal type (video, audio, IR, RS-232 and so on) is treated as a separate switching layer that can be routed independently. Other advanced features such as audio embedding and de-embedding are also supported. The DN-100 Series includes control software and an API to enable these units to be deeply and easily integrated into new or existing systems, DVIGear says.

Stand: 1-N30

The Control 10 family of in-ceiling speakers from JBL Professional is said to combine installation-friendly features with superior sound quality and value. The Control 16C/T, Control 14C/T and Control 12C/T are designed for applications where lower to medium volume music playback and paging is appropriate, including retail stores, restaurants, music/paging systems, airports, waiting rooms and many other areas. The 2-way, 6.5in Control 16C/T coaxial loudspeaker, 2-way, 4in Control 14C/T coaxial loudspeaker and 3in Control 12C/T compact loudspeaker

can be used in 70/100V distributed audio systems or with low-impedance direct operation. All models are available in either white or black. Each model has a blind-mount backcan for quick, easy installation and includes dual conduit/cable strain-relief clamps and removable locking speaker terminal connectors with screw terminals and loop-through terminals. The Control 16C/T, 14C/T and 12C/T are designed to deliver clean, detailed, high-quality sound over a wide coverage area. The 16C/T and 14C/T’s woofers feature a lightweight, anodised aluminium voice coil former and high temperature voice coil for stable performance and reliability even

under constant use. The woofer cones are made of water- and humidityresistant polypropylene, with a butyl rubber surround that provides longterm durability and sonic damping. The woofer’s computer-optimised motor construction, cone geometry and linear suspension design are said to enable an even frequency response and more consistent off-axis performance. The Control 10 Series loudspeakers all feature an ABS baffle with a UL94-V0 and UL94-5VB ﬁre rating and a zinc-plated backcan and all are UL1480 and UL2043 certiﬁed, with transformers that are UL1876 registered.

Switcher features HDBaseT output Fun conference microphone BXB ELECTRONICS

HALL RESEARCH A multi-input switcher with HDBaseT output for extension to 150m from Hall Research, the UHBX-SW3-S provides two HDMI inputs and one VGA input. The switcher can detect the active input and switch to it automatically, or the user can select any of the inputs for display using the buttons on the unit. The HDMI inputs support resolutions to 4K (UHD), and one of them also supports MHL (Mobile High-Deﬁnition Link) with

a phone charging feature. The VGA input supports all YPbPr or RGB resolutions to WUXGA. The VGA video and associated audio inputs are digitised, converted to HDMI, and scaled to 1080p for display on any HDMI TV. 4K video can be extended to 100m. No power supply connection is required since the switcher gets its power using PoH (Powerover-HDBaseT) from the remote receiver. The UHBX-SW3-S can also function as a controller to turn the display on and off via stored IR or RS-232 commands either manually or automatically.

The surface-mountable enclosure is compatible with Hall’s UHBX-R-PSE receiver, and can also be connected directly to projectors or displays with native HDBaseT input using a PoH injector. To select the control method and to enter the required on/ off commands, a USB port is provided for programming the switcher using Hall Research’s free Windows GUI software. Additionally, the unit provides an IR detector that can extend the IR signal to the remote receiver. The UHBX-SW3-S can also accommodate optional external keypads conveniently located for controlling power state, input selection and volume control.

A square conference microphone, the FUN series, has been introduced by BXB Electronics. With a name reminiscent of the Chinese word ‘fung’, meaning square, the FUN microphone offers precise voice control to auto-on and off the microphone when it recognises the speaker’s voice and to ensure the on-off function isn’t affected by surrounding speakers or applause. The FUN microphone can also detect the speaker’s talking volume

and auto-adjust the microphone’s sensitivity accordingly. Participants can be assigned identities, such as chairman, to make the meeting more ﬂexible. The main control unit of the microphone is equipped with a USB port to enable the operation of graphic control software and to achieve two-way audio transmission. Skype, handouts and other messaging software can be integrated without the need for a driver inside the main control unit.

New Big Frame screen SCREENLINE The new Big Frame permanent rigid frame screen for large venues is on show at the ScreenLine stand. Designed for applications such as cinemas, museums and auditoria (and also capable of being deployed outdoors) it is available in the most popular aspect ratios: 4:3, 16:10, 16:9 and 2.35:1 plus bespoke. The frame is constructed from 100% aluminium, while the projection fabric itself is described as 100% flexible and weldable

PVC leaf. The maximum size of the screen is 1,000cm, and available fabrics include diamond, perforated sound transferring, grey high contrast and Ambra rear projection. According to Screenline, the new Big Frame benefits from several unique features. First among these is that the fabric is fixed to the frame with what the company describes as an innovative system − without buttons or pins − which sees it attached to a groove in the frame. Another feature is that

installers can elect to fix the fabric as a standard frame screen (with all-round perimetral black masking) or (with larger fabric) to go around the frame structure in order to get a full-white screen surface. The new Big Frame can be fixed onto walls, stand on the floor or be hung from the ceiling, thanks to its structure, and multiple screens can be attached together in order to obtain projection paths such as those that are often seen in museums.

Impact-resistant cable reels rolled out PROCAB An entire range of premade cable reels is being introduced by Procab. Designed for intensive and professional use, they are constructed using lightweight, extremely strong materials and Neutrik connectors. The new PRX series includes audio, data and video cables, assembled on a lightweight, extremely strong and impact resistant plastic reel. The frame construction is made out of polycarbonate materials and the drum is made out of impactresistant polyethylene. Procab claims the lightweight construction in combination with an ergonomic grip allows easy transport for mobile applications. The range includes the PRX102, a HighFlex balanced microphone cable. The conductor section is constructed using two 24 AWG stranded conductors which are surrounded by a braided shielding, offering a high immunity against noise and interference caused by external devices. The cable end is terminated using

Said to provide the ideal interface for control of any environment – teaching space, meeting room, collaboration or hospitality areas, for example – Keyboard Controllers from SY are designed to be an all-in-one solution for operating audiovisual and associated equipment. Each button on the SY Keypad Controllers features a tri-colour LED to allow feedback colour or state to be programmed or changed on receipt of information back from the bi-directional serial ports. With a range of Keypad Controllers available, ‘V’ models also feature a Rotary Volume Control with level indication derived directly from the

The RAD26 has been introduced, a member of the HAL family of digital signal processors. Rane says it provides enough I/O and control to support one room in a HAL audio system and supports local audio line input (smartphone, laptop, MP3, DVD), one or two microphone or line-level inputs, amplifier outputs for ceiling speakers, a level control and source selection. Using one shielded category cable drop, the company says RAD26 provides any room with a dual 4W amp, end-user control via a customisable LCD display, a dual universal audio I/O interface, plus headphone output and line-level input jacks for local needs. Three logic inputs and three active-low outputs add to the control capabilities. The amp permits a single channel option of 8W into 8 ohms.

The RAD26 is a one-room solution with multiple applications

Rane says applications for the RAD26 include classroom inputs for teachers’ mics and local inputs, presentation source and volume with projector and screen control. Also applicable are a meeting room with A/V teleconferencing and speakers, a spa with BGM, local music input and stereo ceiling speakers or a hotel or cruise ship room TV and local input sound system. Since the RAD26 is connected to a HAL system, each room can select local or system sources and is accessible for normal, priority or emergency paging.

Each PRX cable reel in the series features connections by Neutrikx a male Neutrik XLR connector while the chassis side is fitted with both a male and female Neutrik XLR connector allowing linkthrough. The same reel is used for the PRX606, a HighFlex Cat6 U/UTP cable. Both ends are terminated by male RJ45 connectors, allowing direct connection from transmitting to receiving end without any additional connections or patch cords. A connection tail of 5m (included in total reel length) is wound to the front side cable winder. The connectors are fitted with removable connector boots, allowing assembly of Neutrik Ethercon connector shells. The conductor section consists of

device being controlled. SY Keypad Controllers feature soft touch buttons and a range of device connection ports suitable for both common and more advanced applications, and are said to be capable of being easily integrated into much larger systems using third party control processors. They feature bidirectional serial or infra-red ports, input detection ports, output ports for relay control, USB configuration, and low voltage power - making them, says the company, the most powerful devices available in their class. The SY Device Suite software provides a tool for configuring the controllers. An Ethernet option adds the power of network control to

four twisted pairs with stranded copper 24 AWG conductors with a polyethylene ‘+’ shaped separator in between. Procab claims the combination of hard and solid inner jacket materials and soft outer jacket materials provides great flexibility with a solid touch even after numerous times of winding and unwinding. The reel supports 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 1000Base-T and 10GBase-T gigabit. Other reels in the series include the PRX350, a 110 ohm DMX-AES cable, the PRX107 cable reel with 75 ohm coaxial cable, and the PRX222 reel, with stereo balanced cable.

Wideband tuning for plug-on transmitter LECTROSONICS The HMa plug-on transmitter has been introduced, the latest addition to the Digital Hybrid Wireless range. Lectrosonics claims the HMa will ideally match any microphone or line level source, with its input gain range of 44dB and tuning range of 76MHz in 100kHz or 25kHz steps, up to 3,072 frequencies per band. A USB port makes firmware updates possible in the field. The HMa is aimed at a variety of wireless microphone applications including wireless boom, plant miking and ENG in particular. The HMa combines 24-bit digital audio with analogue FM transmission resulting in superior radio reliability with superb audio performance. Audio frequency response of the HMa is 40Hz - 20kHz ±1dB. Phantom power is selectable at 5V, 15V and 48V, or can be turned off for use with dynamic microphones and line level signal sources. The patented Digital Hybrid Wireless

process delivers compandor-free audio and uses an analogue FM carrier to transmit a specially encoded signal, which delivers digital audio quality while spectrum efficient. The signature cam lock and quick release mechanism makes it easy to securely attach any microphone then detach it in seconds. Karl Winkler, vice president of sales/ service, Lectrosonics, said: “The HMa is the latest in our long history of making professional plug-on transmitters for a wide range of microphone applications. The HMa will be a perfect match for any of our receivers, including the Venue and Venue 2, the SR series, the LR, and the UCR series, and new receivers yet to come.” The HMa Plug-On transmitter joins Lectrosonics’ family of large bandwidth Digital Hybrid Wireless products, which includes the HHA Handheld transmitter, LT Beltpack Transmitter, the SSM Micro Beltpack Transmitter and the Venue 2 Six-Channel Modular Receiver.

AcousticDesign is looking up QSC AUDIO New AcousticDesign ceiling loudspeakers are being premiered in Hall 7, offering a variety of models to match the existing surface mount range. Travis Nie, product manager for install loudspeakers, QSC, explained: “We’ve completely revamped the line with a 4in loudspeaker and a 4in low profile, as well as a 6in and a 6in low profile. The design objectives were to have a sonic match between the surface-mount solutions and the ceiling-mount solutions. That required us to bring some of the technology that was developed for the surface-mount systems over, including directivity match transmission (DMT) between the woofer and the HF device.” This offers ceiling speakers that feature a waveguide for the tweeter with dispersions that match their

counterparts among the surface range. Installers are able to get a much better timbre balance between the two products, as their dispersion patterns are similar. “A 4in surface model has a 120° conical DMT, the same with the ceiling solution,” said Nie. “That gives the ability to interchange the products inside of an installation without having much timbre and colour differences between walking from a surface-mounted area into a ceiling-mounted area – the experience is going to be the same.” Models ship complete with the company’s X-Mount system and weather input cover. “These are very robust products with IR ratings,” said Nie. “They will be very popular in retail spaces and commercial applications, as very high performing products designed to be used indoors and outdoors.”

Pema succeeds in EMEA Microflex Advance portfolio launched ASHLY AUDIO Networkable amplifiers are, according to Ashly EMEA sales manager Mike van der Logt, his company’s bread and butter, and its star product is currently, he said, the Pema matrix mixer, which has seen significant success in the EMEA region. “There are a number of reasons for that,” said van der Logt. “First, the market is well aware of our 40plus year history – and that stands for a great deal in the audio market. Second: perhaps strangely, it’s an advantage being an American manufacturer; the US is seen as having a valuable heritage in anything to do with music. Third is its versatility: the Pema pretty much does it all.”

“And lastly, it certainly helps that it is very competitively priced.” According to Ashly, it’s possible to replace an entire rack of audio equipment with a single Pema. The unit is available as either 4- or 8-channel at 250W or 125W per channel. Any input can be assigned to any output or outputs. It is also a digital signal processor and has new features; gain sharing automatic microphone mixing, an automatic feedback suppressor, ambient noise detection and adjustment and a realtime clock with an event scheduler. The Pema features what Ashly describes as an energy efficient Class-D amplifier topology with a switching power supply, and is said to be over 80% energy efficient out of the box.

No compression, no scaling OPTICIS Three new products are on show on the Opticis ISE 2016 stand. Among them is the DPAX DisplayPort 1.2 Data Recovery Repeater. It supports UHD resolution (up to 3840 x 2160) at 60Hz uncompressed and unscaled, optimising image quality, and transmits DisplayPort data up to 8m over copper cable. With a total data rate of 21.6Gbps (5.4Gbps pelane). HDCP is supported, and the device can be operated via USB power or a DC

power adaptor. With measurements of only 39.5mm x 50mm x 13mm, it is designed to b e compact enough to be appropriate for almost any installation, Opticis says. Typical applications include control rooms, simulators, medical displays and digital signage. Also new is the DPFX-200-TR optical DisplayPort extender. Like the DPAX, it is highly compact. The transmitter/receiver set enables the transmission of WQUXGA (3840 x 2160) resolution data at 60Hz up to

100m over two LC multi-mode fibres. Also, like the DPAX it does not use scaling or compression. It is, says Opticis, plug and play and supports multi-stream transport. Target applications are similar to those for the DPAX unit. Opticis is also showcasing its new active optical DVI cable, the DVFC-100. Again, scaling and compression are not used, and transmission of WUXGA or 1080p resolution data is possible over 100m.

Supercharged consoles and servers AVOLITES MEDIA The Titan and Ai product ranges, along with a ‘media integration focus’ area, are available to ISE 2016 visitors on the Avolites stand, which also features hands-on project-focused showcases of integrated lighting and video. In particular, the new Arena console with Optical Titan Net Switch (TNS), both of which are currently shipping, as well as Avolites’ complete Titan Net solution, will also be on show. Arena is pitched at festivals, theatres and anywhere that a larger control surface is required. It combines the interface of the company’s Tiger Touch II with 30 additional Playback faders and expanded live control options and features. The Optical TNS connects FOH to stage using Cat5E Ethernet cables for distances under 100m and an optical input for fibre connections over distances exceeding 100m.

Rosie Haigh, Steve Warren, Aziz Adilkhodjaev of Avolites with the new area console The 1GB network switch also features a built-in UPS to ensure stability and resilience. Also on the stand is the Ai Infinity EX series media server, pitched at corporate events, live touring or theatre. It features Ai’s 3D visualisation Autoblend to simplify complex maps, an intelligent output page to take the headache out of

addressing outputs and an intuitive user interface. In addition, Avolites’ new Titan version 9.1 software will be loaded onto all consoles, featuring enhanced pixel mapping functionality, fully custom Key Frame Shape engine and fully featured theatre functionality.
