The future: Integrated System Europe? BY MONICA HECK The Internet of Things is set to turn the ‘integrated systems’ that make up Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) into a single uniﬁed ‘integrated system’, according to futuristic business mastermind and consultant Lars Thomsen. Speaking on the main stage during the ISE Opening Keynote speech, Thomsen predicted the future of the AV industry would depend on the IPv6 Internet standard, which would create a rapidly growing “digital nervous system” across the world not unlike the current energy grid everybody is used to. “In 10 years, 1,000 devices per human will be connected to the internet and this digital nervous system will incorporate all aspects of things that are important to humanity,

Thomsen: “In 10 years, 1,000 devices per human will be connected to the internet” such as comfort, energy, security, education and so on,” he said. “Right now there are different halls in this trade show representing different parts of the industry. We are now at a tipping point where we

don’t have to think about isolated systems, but rather about moving onto a system that incorporates the internet as its backbone.” Tipping points are a key concern of Thomsen’s, who doesn’t use slides

during his keynotes but prefers to let the audience connect the dots and imagine the future he describes. “Tipping points are points in time where a new technology, or business model is cheaper and better than the way we did it in the past,” added Thomsen, listing the victory of artiﬁcial intelligence and robotics over ‘dumb technology’ as tipping points to look out for. “Within 520 weeks, we will get to a point where robots can work in households or in elderly care, they will reach a price point where they are cheaper than employing humans for the same task. The implications to our society are big.” “We have to do more than just look for trends, instead of waiting for the future we have to ﬁnd the next tipping point and actively create that future,” he concluded.

A minority report on the future of pixels BY LINDSEY M. ADLER A vacuum in professional computing has resulted from the evolution from desktop to laptop to mobile device. John Underkoffler, CEO of Oblong Industries, views the world through pixels and sees them as the key to ﬁlling that hole, which he shared in his Smart Building Conference address: “The Future of Work – Workplace Collaboration Thrives in the Spatial Operating Environment”.

Digital Signage p10

As an advisor to the ﬁlm Minority Report, Underkoffler shared a clip he musingly hoped was “the last time we have to look at this.” Instead of being wowed by the ahead-of-its-time gesture technology, something he derided as “not what’s important,” attendees were asked to look for what was missing. “This sequence is as much about the collaboration and the room as it is the UI.” Applying that to today’s business technologies, he asked,

Residential solutions p27

“How does computation extend [the] room? It doesn’t. [Modern computing devices] don’t care about the room. You have a bizarre complication.” Because they are so personal in nature, “They are anti-collaboration devices and anti-architectural devices.” Underkoffler and Oblong Industries are working to get out of this “trap.” His solutions include: the more pixels the better; pixel interoperability; a user interface capable of managing all the pixels all over the place; and plurality, the

Uniﬁed Communications p56

need for systems that think about more than one thing - enabling the physical and social space for more than one person to work in tandem. By teaching a machine to speak pixels, multiple applications can run at the same time complementarily. “It’s a kind of quantum leap between what you can do with a machine,” Underkoffler declared. “We’re turning serialism into parallelism, linear into nonlinear, and raw technology into a more human approach.”

A DIGITAL THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM

ISE’ managing director Mike Blackman introduces the event as Chiara Benedettini of organiser Connessioni looks on

BY KIRSTEN NELSON It was “laptop land” at AudioForum@ISE yesterday. The ﬁfth edition of the day-long educational event presented by Connessioni certainly featured digital in every way, as nary a professional audio discussion would be complete without talk of software or DSP. Topics relevant to audio design, integration and live events were discussed in the context of building knowledge and business for a rapidly evolving industry, with participants taking keen interest in sharpening skills in modeling, time alignment, networking and Class D ampliﬁcation. Attendees from the live sound and installation worlds convened at the event. The notion of convergence was very much on the mind of Jack Cornish, a project

UHD display and colour-calibrated videowall

SHARP ELECTRONICS EUROPE Sharp has unveiled a slim new 70in Ultra HD monitor and a 55in display for videowalls with sophisticated colour calibration. “We’re expanding our 4K portfolio and just released a 70in 4K monitor. It’s a different concept from 4K displays we see on other stands. It’s designed for elegant lifestyle, and is equally at home in a graphic design studio or reception area,” said Michael Bailly, product planning and marketing director, Visual Solutions, Sharp Europe. The PN-H701 has a UV2A Sharp panel offering “very strong contrast and very vivid colours”.

The new 55in PN-V551 videowall monitor offers advanced colour calibration and “has two look-up tables for 1D and 3D compensation, so you can get perfect white point uniformity from edge to centre, and between displays.” It is being shown in a four-monitor, UHD videowall. Also new is the PN-Y range (32, 42, 47 and 55in) all-in-one display, with an embedded USB-based media player (something the PNH701 also has). It can default to USB if the main input fails, “so it will never go blank,” he said. There is also an upgraded PN-E range, “which is very thin, with all the inputs you need”.

The new display is already interesting retailers, museums and the AV space lighting companies, shopﬁtters, AV, digital menus, advertising and installations requiring a unique design.

DAYONE Buildings getting smarter and more personal Over 200 delegates attended yesterday’s Smart Building Conference at The RAI. The full-day conference comprised plenary sessions and dedicated seminar on commercial and residential smart building. Smarter sensors, locationbased technology and intelligent data sharing systems are set to transform the buildings of tomorrow. That was the forecast of Dipak Raval, head of smart building infrastructure at Cambridge Consultants. Speaking at the Smart Building Conference at ISE 2015, Raval said: “The emergence of low-cost, low-power wireless connectivity is changing the game signiﬁcantly.” “Today’s buildings are not that smart,” he added, noting how systems for access, heating, lighting are limited and localised. “They don’t share information, and tend to be wired and very expensive.” Raval revealed how a new generation of wireless sensors will not only reduce costs, but also enable

Full house: The residential stream at The Smart Building Conference

adjustments to be made for speciﬁc locations or even individuals. “It would be possible to personalise our environment so that the lighting changed according to whether my PC was turned on or off,” said Raval. Wearable technology could be used for improved security and access systems, and the data generated then used to track a person moving around a building, said Raval. “If someone walked into an office, the heating and lighting

could automatically be adjusted for them.” The biggest challenge to adoption of these technologies is ease of integration, said Raval. Asked by the ISE Daily, whether people would feel comfortable about being tracked around a building, Raval said: “Employees are used to wearing ID badges at work and this is just a natural extension. If people can see the beneﬁts of the technology, it will break down any barriers.”

Transparent OLED prototype demonstrated PLANAR SYSTEMS A new transparent OLED technology is being featured by Planar. The 55in prototype uses what Planar describes as “breakthrough” organic light emitting diode (OLED) technology to improve the transparency of see-through displays, creating new opportunities for design while overcoming a major hurdle to transparent display adoption. “The vision of transparent displays, popularised for decades in science ﬁction movies and television shows, is now nearing reality,” said Jennifer Davis, VP of marketing at Planar Systems.

Transparent OLED could feature in Planar’s product range next year

“This technology is poised to revolutionise space design, customer engagement, and the digital display of information and branding for decades to come, and we are proud to be a pioneer

in this next wave of transparent display development.” Planar anticipates adding transparent OLED technology as a product offering in early 2016.

Doing something right Voice alarm fault-ﬁnder debuts HACOUSTO INTERNATIONAL

KERN & STELLY Taking part in its fourth ISE is German large format screen/ projector distributor Kern & Stelly. The company derives around 90% of its business from dealers in Germany, according to the company’s Heiko Wűlfken, with the remainder coming from Austria and Switzerland. “We’re here to give our dealers the chance to see the latest products we’re ranging,” said Wűlfken. “It’s the ideal opportunity, as we’re surrounded by the vendors we deal with.” As well as taking the opportunity to host its existing dealer network, Kern & Stelly is looking for new dealers. What does Wűlfken think his company offers to a prospective

customer? “At the end of the day, we offer similar products at similar prices as many of our competitors,” he replied. “The things that set us apart are our large stock holding, meaning that we can offer very quick delivery – but, more important than that, we believe what our dealers most value about us is that we’re a young, ﬂexible and responsive company – we’ll always try to make things possible.” “Our whole focus is on our customers, and we think that way of doing business is what’s allowed us to grow from ﬁve people when we started out ten years ago to 38 today.” “We must be doing something right,” smiled Wűlfken.

The 4EVAC LoopDrive system, making a debut at ISE 2015 is able to detect faults in voice alarm systems and evacuation loudspeaker loop circuits. Fully certiﬁed with both EN54-16 and EN54-17 regulations, Hacousto claims the modular plug in and play system will maximise 2-wire, returnloop PA/VA evacuation systems. After installing 4EVAC LoopDrive’s Fault Isolator Modules (FIM) between loudspeakers on a loop circuit, any drop in DC voltage below a threshold is instantly detected, located and isolated. FIM protects the loop integrity against any open wire-to-wire short circuits, offering peace of mind that voice evacuation audio transmission will be not be interrupted. The LoopDrive Booster (LDB) at the heart of the 4EVAC LoopDrive system offers easy navigation via front buttons and indicators. Driving

up to 200 FIMs over a dual-core cable, a single LDB can pass 800W of audio signal from an amplifier while channeling DC to the loop for powering and managing FIM modules. Up to 32 LDBs can be attached onto a single DIN-rail providing DC power for the RS485 data connection and general-fault contact. The system also features LoopDrive Sniffer, a comprehensive GUI that allows up to 256 LDBunits over a single RS485 connection to be easily visualised, configured, installed, managed and controlled remotely. Albert van der Hout, director of Hacousto International, said: “We’re very excited about presenting 4EVAC LoopDrive at ISE. It’s a unique product that fulfils new legislative

The 4EVAC LoopDrive detects, locates and isolates drops in DC voltage on loudspeaker loop circuits market demands. Its highspeciﬁcation modular design is synonymous with Hacousto’s years of manufacturing experience.

Displays become works of art VUTEC CORPORATION The new ArtScreen powered by QMotion is said to be the world’s first battery-powered media concealment product and is being launched by Vutec. The showcase solution is designed to transform any flatpanel display into a work of art without the time-consuming and costly task of running power lines. Available for flatpanels from 42in to 103in, the ArtScreen can be made with custom photography, commissioned artwork or from Vutec’s licensed art library

to conceal any display and match any decor. The addition of QMotion into the ArtScreen line extends media concealment to a range of industries that require pleasing decor without re-wiring, Vutec says. The included infrared control system allows the artwork to ascend or descend via a remote control. When the screen or ﬂatpanel display is not in use, the digital art on a canvas image is displayed within the frame; when the artwork is retracted, the ﬂatpanel display is visible for viewing.

“The ArtScreen powered by QMotion allows almost anything to be concealed – not just screens, but control panels, safes – even wine,” said Melba Proctor, director of international sales for Vutec. “The fact that it’s battery operated - it can use any standard alkaline batteries, which gives each screen a power cycle life of several years – means that retroﬁtting to an existing installation is much easier, as you don’t have the expense and inconvenience of running a power supply to it.”

Big stadium act launched OUTLINE

The Stadia100 LA is aimed at audio installations in large spaces such as sports stadia ISE 2015 is the global launch event for the large-scale, permanent installation, Stadia100 LA range of loudspeakers by Outline, aimed at venues such as sports stadia. Outline claims the new loudspeakers are an original design, capable of delivering up to 149dB with a peak input power handling of 8kW, coupled with highly accurate directional

control over long distances. Construction and finishing techniques developed specifically for long-term outdoor installation have also been used in the Stadia100 LA, notably Outline’s own outSIDE tough and waterproof elastoplastic coating. Also on show is the iP48 iMode digital loudspeaker processor. Packing four inputs and eight outputs into a single unit of rackspace, the iP48 features WFIR filtering technology. The company claims the technology produces a more natural and lifelike audio response by distributing the frequency resolution over a semilogarithmic scale. Outline iP48 also offers raised-cosine filters. Compared to traditionally implemented parametric functions, these deliver improved transfer curve shaping, controlling intervention frequency bandwidth more precisely while maintaining minimum-phase response.

Paging all servers EQUIPSON The Smart Paging Station 8 by BlueLine Digital System, a multifunction distributed AoIP system, has been launched at ISE 2015. Designed and developed by Work Pro, the new SPS 8 is capable of working as a paging microphone as well as an audio server, thanks to an RCA analogue stereo input. The device converts the analogue signal into digital and sends it to the network, allowing any BLR receiver to tune into the channel. The device can stream input audio and

Equipson says the SPS 8 is the ﬁrst combined paging microphone and audio server

simultaneously send messages recorded by the microphone connected to the front XLR input. Equipson claims the SPS 8 is the ﬁrst paging microphone and audio server available and that it is no longer necessary to use a separate device that works as a server in a simple installation. It would be enough to install an SPS 8 device along with as many BLR receivers as were required for the paging zones. The company suggest a use scenario where a small company with six different meeting rooms or offices might have background music and paging service with one SPS 8, six BLR 2 A and one PoE switch, without requiring additional ampliﬁers or power supplies. The new SPS 8 station is also a PoE device, thus can be powered through the same Ethernet cable that carries the microphone signal, analogue audio information, and signal data.

VOX POP What changes do you envisage in the digital signage market in 2015? We will see digital signage evolving to interactive attractions rather than standalone displays playing back video trailers. People are nowadays used to communicating – and even collaborating – using social media, which is what we’re seeing integrated into digital signage now. We’re also now seeing digital signage systems that react to the actual person watching or using it through face or voice recognition.

Tobias Stumpﬂ Commercial director, AV Stumpﬂ Stand: 1-H3, 1-H6, 1-N1

In 2015, we envisage big change in markets such as the transportation market. You will see it become more of a retail environment where vital passenger information is mixed with information that is useful and makes travel easier. Advertisers will want to create messaging as a part of the passenger information, interwoven so as to be almost subliminal.

Pete Egart Vice president of EMEA/LA, Daktronics Stand: 8-N181, 8-N184

The convergence of IT and AV plays a signiﬁcant role here, of course. However, I also believe that we’ll be seeing more of dedicated VPN networks, media streaming, centralised updating or control functions to multiple locations, and cloud services for signage media. There is deﬁnitely a growing demand for centralised updating as we have seen with our WatchNet server software.

iNUI Studio has chosen HUMElab to develop a fully integrated prototype device using its AIRxTouch gesture recognition technology, which will make its European debut at ISE 2015. The aim of the prototype is to open the doors of the interactive windows market to those who were previously unable to enjoy them due to the limitations of projected capacitive technology. It will enable the owners of double glazed ‘gas’ windows or armoured glass to communicate interactively with their customers. Banks, jewellers, watchmakers and manufacturers or distributors of luxury goods will be able to enrich their digital communications. HUMElab AIRxTouch will

enable traders in all Nordic, continental or mountainous regions to beneﬁt from interactive windows, while in the past the demands of insulation hindered the workings of projected capacitive foils. Also on show at ISE is the company’s new touch table, the Aviator, which has a brushed stainless steel frame and a mirror screen which gives it a retro look reminiscent of the fuselage of a ’50s bombing aircraft. Made by hand in HUMElab workshops, Aviator incorporates a touch solution hosting up to 40 simultaneous points of contact and comes with design, integration and customisation options. This unique piece is destined for a tech-addict collector.

Introducing 75in imotion outdoor LCD signs INFINITUS Intelligent all-in-one semi and full outdoor 75in imotion LCD displays are making their ISE debut at the Inﬁnitus stand, where the imotionFLOW 75in portrait single side with full glass cover and LED backlit back side is on show. The outdoor LCD company recently expanded its offer with seven new products, based on a 2,500 nit brightness and 5,000:1 contrast ratio 75in LCD panel. The price/quality ratio of this development is expected to appeal to DOOH advertising and other projects demanding largest format LCD panels. Clients can choose between the imotionG6 and imotionFLOW

technologies, both made to minimise after-purchase maintenance costs with advanced automatic call-onsite functionality. This feature summons owners to the location only when attention is needed, which eliminates the need for regular maintenance. HVAC-based imotionG6 units are available in portrait/ landscape and single/double side formats. These systems are said to create constant inner enclosure conditions (20-25ºC/68-77ºF) and offer a minimal bezel size of 90mm and 12mm glass-to-display distance. While the imotionG6 operates between -40º and +55ºC (-40º to 131ºF), imotionFLOW technology is intended for direct sun-

exposed public areas within the range of 25-40ºC (77-104ºF). imotionFLOW ventilation cooled systems, best used in milder climates, and integrated solutions such as kiosks or inwall integration, will be available in three options: freestanding portrait single side and wallmounted portrait and landscape, with a bezel size of 100mm and 16mm glass to display distance. The imotionFLOW product line utilises on-surface temperatureresistant LCD panels (up to 110ºC) and guarantees integrated components to safely operate within warranted operation temperature ranges, never exceeding 50ºC within the enclosure.

Tannoy VX 8M speaker debuts TC GROUP

OPINION A window of opportunity for closed-door meetings The rise and rise of the huddle room is just one example of unforeseen new demands for new products, writes Kirsten Nelson “Step into my office,” long a phrase evoking tension and intrigue, isn’t so much a possibility in today’s open-plan workplace. “Step up to my desk section” doesn’t really have the same command, and the entirely too self-aggrandising “Let’s talk in the conference room” is taking things just a bit too far. Thus, the huddle room came to be the perfect middle ground. A space for quiet conversation or focused collaboration, away from the fray and isolated from prying eyes, the huddle room is the new champion of productivity. Unless the walls are made of glass, which is all too often the case in modern architecture. The need for ‘transparency’ in the corporate setting may be all well and good in a visual sense, but it’s wreaking havoc with the auditory surroundings of those who just want to get things done. There are a great many new conﬂicts, unspoken and yet very much elicited out loud, in the modern office. The brazen speakerphone user seldom notices a neighbouring phone whisperer too afraid to disturb others. Those with something urgent to get done and big thoughts on their mind may stride up to desks and launch into top-secret discussion while surrounded by countless unintended listeners. Maybe it would be best to designate a huddle room for each

important arbiter of information and reserve that space for focused work or collaboration as needed. Oh wait, that’s an office. Not an open-plan, transparent workplace. Intelligence and opportunity The whims of architects and executives shall forever prompt surprise and even consternation in those tasked with making their visions a reality, but it is at this moment in time that the AV industry most stands to beneﬁt from their vacillations. Accordingly there is much to be gathered in terms of intelligence and opportunity across the aisles of ISE’s many halls, in the seats of its training rooms and Solutions Theatres, and of course in that good old-fashioned happenstance of meeting with other like-minded colleagues. There are countless sessions, scattered across the programme throughout ISE week, that may serve to beneﬁt those eager to climb the corporate ladder to new levels of AV design expertise. Relevant sessions today include ‘Needs Analysis of End-User Requirements’, offered on InfoComm’s training roster, and later in the Commercial Solutions Theatre it will be possible to cross-reference those needs with market potential during InfoComm’s Market Research session at the Commercial Solutions Theatre.

Holographic and creative displays KENZAN First-time ISE exhibitor Kenzan is introducing its combination of technological displays and digital content capabilities at this year’s show. Based in Geneva, Kenzan works with luxury houses and FMCG companies in Switzerland and Europe. The company designs and

produces holographic displays, supplying top screen holographic displays, top and bottom screen holographic displays and even screenless holographic displays. Kenzan’s products are available as turnkey solutions for easy integration, or as custom displays made to order in the format or materials of the customer’s choice.

Wednesday morning, those most enterprising souls will arise early for ‘Destination 2020: Future Trends in AV and Electronic Systems’, an InfoComm training session geared towards trying to predict the unfathomable progress that is likely to occur over the next five years. Some might say it’s impossible to guess what is happening in six months, so it’s important to start charting for the turn of the next decade as best we can. If you didn’t wake up for that event, there’s an afternoon session on ‘Designing AV for the Future’, presented by USIS. In confluence with ISE attendees’ edification in sessions off the tradeshow floor, the knowledge gained on a tour through the sea of exhibitors’ stands will provide plenty of practical solutions for the sometimes pie-in-the-sky requests of office designers. Watch in particular for sound masking technologies to enhance privacy and productivity, cameras and conferencing options for enabling achievements far and wide, and glamorous electroacoustic enhancement systems to help tame even a completely open office acoustic. Dream big, bigger than the displays that will catch your eye, and plan lots of sales meetings where clients will be startled to find that technology might just be catching up with their imagination.

A new addition to Tannoy’s leading VX Series range of premium grade passive sound reinforcement loudspeakers is being launched at ISE 2015. The VX 8M is a full-range dual-concentric loudspeaker, which the TC Group brand says will provide a compact yet punchy and sonically vibrant solution for small-to-medium scale performance sound reinforcement. With a tightly controlled 90° dispersion for optimum coverage and forward gain, the VX 8M has a peak output of 119dB and a recommended amplifier power of 260W. A rugged highly compact birch plywood enclosure, available in textured black and white paint finish, has been ergonomically designed to offer a greater degree of flexibility. The new cabinet design includes 40° and 60° angles, making the VX 8M ideal for use as a dedicated floor monitor, with the

8in driver providing high-clarity vocal monitoring. The enclosure offers a pole mount and vertical yoke as standard options. Audio connection is via a recessed termination panel with two SpeakOn connectors, offering a cleaner and more durable solution, which Tannoy suggests would suit a busy rental company or ﬂexible venue. A steel grille has been added to the VX 8M, and now comes as standard on two of the larger format boxes from the range, the VX 12 and the VX 15. The new VX 8M can combine with any Tannoy VX loudspeaker or VSX Series high-performance subwoofer.

Ceiling microphones hang on every word CLOCKAUDIO Ceiling microphones have the advantage over desk-mounted models of not picking up noise from people moving laptops or other objects. Clockaudio has introduced two new models: the CCRM-4000 Ceiling Retractable Microphone and the C 303 Ceiling Microphone Array. The CCRM-4000 not only leaves the table uncluttered, as cables are hidden in the ceiling, but as the height can be individually positioned according to the speaker it can capture greater signal with less ambient noise. At the end of the conference the microphones retract back into the ceiling, leaving the conference

room unspoiled by table-mounted microphones. It can be activated by IR remote control or DSP, and control ports allow DSP connection and daisy chain expansion to other units. The C 303 is designed principally for boardrooms and meeting spaces to eliminate the need for multiple microphone setups, and is claimed to deliver “exceptional audio quality with minimal visibility”. It has three high-quality wide-range microphone capsules mounted together in a single unit, to provide unidirectional sound while maintaining 360º coverage. A ceiling ﬁxing plate is included, and maximum cable length is 2.5m.

EXHIBITOR VIEW AES67 and the future of interoperability

D.A.S. AUDIO

The growing importance of a standard that can provide interoperability between proprietary systems Nowadays, all integrators (and manufacturers for that matter) desire to offer their customers platform interoperability between the various system components they install and support. Unfortunately the prevailing perception within the industry is that “proprietary” systems are closed for interoperation with other protocols and technologies. This is simply not the case. QSC’s Q-Sys Platform was designed to follow prevailing IT standards and function with off-the-shelf, non-proprietary Ethernet switches. Its network protocol, Q-LAN, transports audio using the same Layer 3 networking protocols that IT professionals worldwide already understand and support with all their other TCP/IP networked based systems. In addition, it also offers discovery, monitoring, real-time diagnostics and

control of the entire eco-system, which explains why it must be a proprietary protocol to support our product ecosystem (we make no apologies for this point). However while Q-LAN is technically “proprietary”, Q-Sys offers support for edge networks like Dante, AVB, CobraNet and very soon, AES67. We have decidedly taken the next step towards the future of interoperability by joining the X-192 (AES67) steering committee (as a charter member) and co-operating with other audio manufacturers in the Media Network Alliance in the adoption of AES67. Developed by the Audio Engineering Society, AES67 is a truly open Layer 3 protocol, designed to allow interoperability between today’s commercial AV platforms. This quickly emerging standard requires no licensing fees and is poised to create

High-performance compact line array launched

David Fuller Senior director of product development, QSC transparency between existing necessarily proprietary systems and allow them to be networked together for audio transport interoperability. The Q-Sys ecosystem will soon natively support AES67 without additional hardware. Q-Sys is based on a powerful Intel platform and standard network interface technology. This technology platform allows Q-SYS to support concurrent Q-LAN and AES67 network streams even from the same physical port.

The Aero 20A compact powered line array system has been launched by D.A.S Audio, featuring the brand new 12AN4 loudspeaker, optimised to provide high output and reliability. The 12in speaker features a light aluminium voice coil bonded to a new ﬁbreglass reinforced cone, an optimised magnet circuit, and a new suspension design. D.A.S claimed the 12AN4 offered exceptional performance in terms of distortion, power handling and maximum SPL. It said the voice coil venting scheme was particularly effective in dissipating voice coil heat, providing the speaker with a high thermal rating and low power compression. High frequency response is delivered by the M-75N compression driver and new waveguide assembly developed speciﬁcally for the Aero 20A. The compression driver employs a neodymium magnet structure, a titanium diaphragm and 3in voice coil. The M-75N is attached to an injected aluminium waveguide

State-of-the-art: The Aero 20A incorporates the latest D.A.S. transducer design, power electronics and system management optimised to provide high performance. The Aero 20A is powered by a compact Class D amplifier that combines the power supply, output stage and connectors in a single chassis. The two-channel (800W and 400W) amplifier makes use of the latest in switch mode technology. D.A.S says the 20A also incorporates the latest in digital signal processors, brick wall FIR filters and top-of-the-line A-D/D-A converters. The line array supports remote monitoring and control by way of the DASnet audio management application, based on the RS-485 protocol.

Analytics of extremely large data sets will cause a massive demand in computing equipment and data scientists (as forecast by McKinsey). The actual processing will be performed across arrays of computers over fast networks, but there will be an explosion in the need for new supercomputers and workstations. We anticipate a growing need for KVM matrix switches so that computers and workstations can be physically separated. Central processing units will be located in secure, environmentally controlled data centres, where they work, and can be managed, best. Analysts will then connect to individual computers to manage the processing from ‘dumb’ user workstations.

Microphone transmits audio and control data AUDIO-TECHNICA Claimed to be a world first, the Audio-Technica ATND971 Cardioid Condenser Boundary Network Microphone is said to bridge the gap between audio and IT as the first wired microphone to transmit audio and control data together over Audinate’s Dante network protocol. Dante has become a go-to method of networking for many audio professionals; a plugand-play solution, it uses standard internet protocols to distribute digital audio and control data with very low latency. A simple Ethernet connection allows the ATND971 to communicate across an existing network of Dante-enabled devices and – with the microphone’s programmable user switch – control any of those devices at the push of a button. Described by Audio-Technica as a perfect fit for boardrooms and other meeting spaces, the ATND971 boundary mic is said

to feature simple, inexpensive Ethernet connectivity and outstanding sound quality. A red/ green LED status indicator and an integrated user switch control functionalities such as video camera pan/tilt, room lighting presets and more. And, points out Audio-Technica, since Dante can support up to 512 bidirectional audio channels, the microphone offers an easily scalable solution.

DPA MICROPHONES

The Internet of Things: why you should care Ian McMurray looks at the very near future where everything will be connected to everything else This may be the ﬁrst ISE at which you’ll hear more than one person talk about the ‘Internet of Things’. You’re likely to hear a whole lot more about it at future ISEs, because it will have the same profound effect on the AV industry that it will have on every industry. That’s why the likes of Cisco and GE are investing billions of dollars in it. But what’s it all about? Simply: until now, the Internet has been about connecting people – with information, with each other – and with shopping opportunities. Today, there are a little short of three billion people connected to the Internet. Cisco believes that, by 2020, there will be 40 billion things connected. That’s a key reason why we needed IPv6. Omnipresent connectivity Connectivity – wired and wireless – is now all but omnipresent. Even the simplest pieces of equipment have some form of intelligence built into them. As such, they can communicate with each other. Why would they want to, though? Of course, everyone has heard about the refrigerator that knows you’re running low on milk and that automatically orders more from your supermarket, to be delivered to your door. That’s a somewhat trivial example of the power of sensors: this refrigerator has a milk sensor that detects the presence or absence of milk… But sensors are routinely included in almost everything

we use – sensors for low oil pressure, sensors that tell you the coffee machine needs reﬁlling, sensors that tell the central heating to turn on. Sensors can turn information into action – and that’s the real power and potential of the Internet of Things. The trick is to make those sensors capable of acquiring even more data – and then capturing, analysing and acting upon that data. The Internet of Things is captivating the industrial world, where it’s known as the Industrial Internet. It could become similarly transformative in the AV world. Imagine every element of an installation capturing information about its own performance. What are its usage patterns? How close to its operating margins is it running at? How many small, but self-recovered, failures has it experienced? Transformational Supposing you could capture, analyse and act upon that information? You’d transform maintenance, for a start. Routinely maintaining a piece of AV equipment – a projector, for example - that is operating perfectly is a waste of time and money. Waiting for it to fail before maintaining it will cause customer dissatisfaction. ‘Predictive maintenance’ is the buzz phrase. Where it gets clever, though, is that, instead of predicting when a class or type of machine will need to be maintained – you can

predict when each individual piece of equipment will need it, based on the data it has captured, stored and transmitted about itself. The potential productivity, cost savings and customer satisfaction improvements are totally compelling. Maintenance is, of course, just one way in which sensor-derived data can be used. It could equally easily be used to identify the need for an upgrade – higherbandwidth video processing, for example. There are countless others – including, of course, where intelligent connected machines ‘converse’ and interact to operate together more effectively. It goes without saying: the principle of intelligent communication between pieces of electronic equipment is nothing new to the AV industry. It’s been woven into the fabric for years. But the Internet of Things will provide both a challenge and an opportunity to manufacturers and integrators alike. In the future, an AV installation will no longer be an island of connectivity. It will include products with increased intelligence and numerous sensors that will communicate with each other, with their users and with the outside world to deliver unprecedented levels of functionality and availability. The Internet of Things will become utterly pervasive – and the AV industry stands to beneﬁt signiﬁcantly. Here’s looking forward to ISE 2020.

HQUlta video processing technology announced CALIBRE The HQUlta virtual-ASIC video processing technology is being announced by Calibre. With support for 4K, WQXGA, HD and all common legacy video formats, HQUltra is a virtual-ASIC platform developed in conjunction with Altera for hosting powerful pro AV video processing solutions on Cyclone V and Arria 10 FPGA platforms. “There is a void in the premium pro AV video processing market left by the exit from the market of leading innovators such as

2015

IDT/SiliconOptix, Gennum and Genesis,” said Tim Brooksbank, chairman at Calibre. “Video chip focus is now ﬁrmly on low-cost smart TVs and set-top boxes; these technologies are far from ideal for the demanding pro AV world. The economics of developing hugely expensive video ASICs for niche markets didn’t stack up with typical R&D costs of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, so here at Calibre we came up with an alternative approach which yields an efficient, affordable, highperformance solution with upfront

investment an order of magnitude smaller by efficient leveraging of high-density FPGA technology in ways not previously viable.” Calibre says that it has been working on the algorithms and architecture for three and a half years, designing in house from the ground up to be more efficient, with outstanding image quality. HQUltra has been designed to be futureproof with forwards compatibility with future resolutions and portability on to future generation FPGA platforms.

High-quality microphones aimed at the installation market are on show on the Amptec stand in Hall 7. DPA’s Podium Microphone range features the d:screet Miniature Podium Microphone, based on a special interference tube technology that DPA claims ensures exceptional directivity and off-axis rejection. The company says the technology has already proven to be the best choice for speech applications in some of the worst acoustic environments. Christian Poulsen, CEO of DPA, explained: “We were contacted by an organisation that had simultaneous interpreters refusing to use their existing microphones because the audio quality was so bad, Simultaneous interpreting is a hard job and if the audio is poor, it gets even tougher. We knew we had the right capsule technology to take their existing solution to a new level – we just had to develop the microphone solution for the purpose.” Poulsen continued: “When testing against three or four times more expensive competitive podium microphones, our shotgun solution was clearly better. We are proud to set the new standard of podium microphones securing high speech intelligibility.” The miniature capsule is mounted on a delicate gooseneck and comes in several lengths for

table mounting. It can also be used in a wireless conﬁguration by employing the company’s adapter range, which is already used for other miniature microphones. DPA’s Podium range also includes the d:dicate Podium Microphones which incorporate modular capsules with high linear frequency responses, high SPL and superior gain before feedback. The company is also showing its d:facto Vocal Microphone, a handheld vocal mic that offers studio sound in live surroundings, according to the company. Due to the modularity of the two ranges, the d:dicate capsules can easily be mounted on the d:facto handle or dedicated adapters, which permit it to be used on various professional wireless systems.

iPad lighting controller is a Cuety cute thing VISUAL PRODUCTIONS The new Cuety iPad lighting control system from Visual Productions turns an iPad into a convenient, affordable and powerful lighting console. Cuety is designed for use in the entry-level entertainment market and right through to smaller architectural or retail stand-alone installations, and is therefore easy to use and budget friendly. It enables users to take full advantage of the iPad’s mobility and multi-touch display, and has full support for moving heads, LEDs and conventional lighting, as well as DMX-controlled special effects. The system architecture of the Cuety App and its LPU hardware is designed for robustness. Its compact LPU contains the engine that runs the show, calculates fade times and renders dynamic effects.

The app is just the user interface, so if there is a WiFi interruption the show will go on. In a standalone installation, users can select any combination of the 64 playbacks to run on power on. Visual Productions is showing lighting control software for Mac, PC and Linux, as well as solid-state hardware controllers including its CueCore.

Four lines for audio hint at greater future potential XILICA AUDIO DESIGN Four audio product lines, comprising two software-based and two hardware devices, are being introduced by Xilica Audio Design. Known for designing, developing and manufacturing high-performance audio systems, Xilica’s newest control software is SolaroControl. This is an iOS App that allows users to control the company’s Dante-enabled Neutrino and Uno Series digital processor models through the use of iOS devices. SolaroConsole is Xilica’s forthcoming new DSP conﬁguration software. It will eventually replace the current NeuConsole conﬁguration

Driven by iPad: The SolaroControl iOS app is able to drive the Neutrino Series of DSP processors software, but the company is beta testing this new release and demonstrating its potential at ISE 2015. The full release is scheduled for March 2015. SolaroConsole is a universal platform software, in that it supports PC, Mac and Linux, which has SolaroControl integrated within it. It’s also in semi-development, as Xilica said that by the end of 2015 it would include the added beneﬁts of universal control of other product brands than its own. Additionally the SolaroConsole software will offer universal Dante conﬁguration of other third-party Dante

On the hardware side, Xilica is introducing two compact outboard Dante interface devices at ISE 2015.The 2 x 2 and 4 x 4 I/O devices being launched at ISE have no DSP on board, however Xilica revealed that versions of the interfaces with on-board DSP will be introduced in mid-2015. Xilica is also showing a prototype of its new highperformance, low-cost Solaro DSP board in the Hall 7 booth. It is targeted at OEM companies for use in powered speakers, ampliﬁers, and other product solutions.

Software simpliﬁes touchscreen use LEGAMASTER INTERNATIONAL Software for touchscreens usually includes a huge range of functions, but this can have a major impact on user friendliness. Besides, many features are unnecessary, confusing and won’t be used. That is why Legamaster has developed Tango Teach and Flipbox, new operating systems that simplify touchscreen use. “Complex systems are impressive, but they can take time to learn. We wanted to remove that barrier,” said Legamaster’s international product manager, Maarten Banis. “The idea was to strip away everything that was unnecessary and to offer the quality of simplicity. As a result, anyone – even the less experienced computer user – can start using our touchscreen straight away.”

EYE in the sky WOLFVISION The latest addition to Wolfvision’s EYE range, the EYE-14, is described as a powerful imaging solution which builds on the success of previous models. The EYE-14 can be mounted directly onto the ceiling, or alternatively integrated into a suspended ceiling. It is also said to be easily mounted onto a tripod, pan-tilt-zoom mount or wall mount designed for video, room or surveillance cameras. The EYE-14 offers on-board HD video capture, enabling the recording of complete presentations and lectures, and a centre laser marker which remains invisible onscreen and marks the centre of the working surface, enabling easy positioning of objects. Using a

dry-erase working surface with an EYE-14 gives additional freedom to present ideas visually to both small and large groups, according to WolfVision, because handwritten material can be easily displayed. Videos can be saved to the 8GB internal memory or to additional USB sticks or external hard drives as required. Adding the optional BYOD Pack upgrade enables wireless connectivity and allows WolfVision’s new vSolution Connect for iPad software to be used with this camera system. Syncing an iPad wirelessly with the EYE-14 enables it to be used as a multimedia control dashboard, and in addition to the display of ‘live’ material,

all media types can be easily integrated into a presentation or lecture and controlled via the iPad. Material stored either on iPad or in Dropbox can be displayed, and users can also record entire presentations, and save them directly to the iPad’s internal memory.

Octo Sr launch offers multi-room digital audio ATEÏS Part of the PAX ProAV Group, Xavtel is launching the Octo Sr, the next step up of its three Octo DSP platforms following the standalone DSP Octo Jr. The Octo Sr is a high-end multiroom digital audio network box with a sizeable DSP engine. Four slots on the back of the unit will accept either analogue or digital cards for up to 32 x 32 channels in a single box. The eight frontpanel knobs available on the Octo Sr gives the installer the opportunity to program certain functions to control, but also the ability to scale the functionality so that a properly balanced system cannot be driven into distortion. Octo Sr is equipped with 16 built-in TTL inputs and eight TTL outputs, with Xavtel claiming very sophisticated designs can be built for a wide

variety of applications. For systems requiring a high number of zones and audio inputs, several Octo Sr units can be stacked in the network. Xavtel says a large variety of I/O cards are now available, as well as the Octo-link bus. To be found on all Octo DSP devices, this proprietary digital audio and data bus provides audio I/O and control over a distance of 250m using Xavtel’s RWD devices and connecting via Cat6 cable. Simultaneously, several new RWD (remote wall-mounted) devices and the Octo-Amp are also being released by the company.

EXHIBITOR VIEW Innovation in presentation The blurring of the boundaries between AV and IT technology is delivering many benefits in the presentation technology industry For WolfVision, one of the prime beneﬁts of the collision between AV and IT taking place is that it allows us to develop ‘best of both worlds’ solutions enabling the customer to combine ‘live’ presentation material using a visualiser camera, together with easy-toaccess digital content material either from the cloud or from a personal device. Our industry is getting very close now to meeting the customer need for unrestricted access to presentation content material – all formats, any device, from any location – together with the important ability to introduce ‘live’ presentation material using a visualiser camera when required. The introduction of ﬂipped classrooms and the growing popularity of MOOCs is leading to increasing demand for effective recording solutions

in education. In addition to the large-scale lecturecapture installations found in many universities, there is also considerable interest in smaller scale standalone portable solutions, such as those based on our own visualiser systems. These allow lecturers to make video recordings without the pressure of having to record ‘live’ in front of a student audience. Feedback from customers is that a ‘digital content only’ approach does not best serve all users in every situation. For example, there are many universities worldwide still using traditional blackboards, particularly for mathematics and science classes, where complex theorems, proofs and derivations often need to be written out and explained. After extensive university trials,

Julien Bussell International sales manager, WolfVision WolfVision has just introduced a large size dry-erase working surface that when used with a Ceiling Visualizer, enables handwritten course content to be digitised, enlarged for onscreen display, and recorded for archiving and online use. It is a simple solution, but one that that delivers real pedagogic value, and enables lecturers with more traditional requirements to leverage considerable beneﬁt from the latest digital collaboration technologies.

Scalable H.264 HD-over-IP range shipping after ISE WYRESTORM The NetworkHD-Pro system for professional H.264 HDover-IP is having its ﬁrst outing at ISE 2015. A ﬂexible, multipurpose IP network distribution system with low latency and low bandwidth demands, WyreStorm claims it is perfect for managing very large installations over existing LAN infrastructure. The system offers combined HDMI to H.264 encoding, decoding and control, as well as instant switching between source, Video Wall and MultiView with resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz. As with the WyreStorm JPEG2000 range released in September 2014, NetworkHD-

Pro is built around a modular and scalable infrastructure design that easily allows the number of sources or zones to be expanded by simply adding more transmitters or receivers. The single source NHDPRO-1TX transmitter offers combined HDMI to H.264 encoding. The NHD-PRO-CTL control unit enables content to be streamed simultaneously through a network switch over conventional LAN without conﬂicting with other IP devices that might be present. The NHD-PRO-RX-VW receiver offers H.264 decoding with Video Wall Processing, converting back to HDMI for Video Wall mode. The NHDPRO-RX-MV has multi-view

functionality allowing users to view up to 16 connected sources on the same screen at the same time. With PoE support and bidirectional RS232, Network HD-Pro is compatible with the WyreStorm Enado control interface. WyreStorm says its NetworkHD-PRO applications extend to not only digital signage, but also hospitality, education and corporate installations of any size, allowing projects to grow simply and cost effectively as the needs of the client change. WyreStorm says the system will be available immediately following ISE 2015.

What do you see as the main implications of Cloud Computing and/or Big Data on your part of the industry? Particularly in digital signage, cloud-based architectures have been helpful in growing the installbase dramatically. Deploying a digital signage network becomes a simple, easy 1-23-step procedure by simply connecting a display to the cloud. As a result, networks grow and shrink as required and ad hoc operations are made easy. The connectivity based on Android devices has dramatically contributed to the simpliﬁcation and costoptimisation.

The broadcast industry is massively driven by sports, the peak times for which are in the evenings and on weekend. With this in mind, cloud computing allows for higher usage during these peak times while also offering reduced usage during idle time. Big data can be incredibly useful in sport – more and more data is produced and can be analysed during live broadcasts.

We foresee a shift in video storage for security purposes into cloudbased network video recorders. We also see a change in the business model for video surveillance where systems are rented and monthly fees include equipment and cloud storage plans rather than outright purchase. There is also an opportunity, we believe, for home surveillance as part of the broadband, entertainment and telephone service offering.

All-seeing Owl takes ﬂight K-ARRAY Italian pro-audio manufacturer K-array has chosen ISE 2015 to launch what it calls its most innovative product yet. The KW8, also known as The Owl, is one of the ﬁrst audio moving heads, including a coaxial 8in transducer and a built-in camera tool to allow users to accurately focus their direction of sound. The Owl provides up to 500W of power, 120dB of SPL and a frequency range from 60Hz to 19kHz. The KW8 follows in K-array’s tradition of compact speaker design by measuring 45cm x 40cm x 22cm and weighing 10kg. Even with its uniquely designed housing and unusual facilities, K-array says the KW8 is easy to transport and quick to assemble. DMX, USB, SDI and audio balanced connections

offer easy plug-and-play for a wide variety of performance types and venue conﬁgurations. Francesco Maffei, senior product specialist at K-array, said: “The Owl is a perfect solution for a range of applications including live on-stage monitoring, amusement park installations, airports, train stations, DJ effects and theatre installations plus many more still to be discovered. The ﬂexibility of the Owl will offer an almost limitless number of solutions and in some cases reduce the amount of speakers required for one installation.” Alex Tatini ,co-president of K-array, explained the thinking behind the Owl: “K-array speaker systems were born out of necessity. My hunch told me that the market needs to positively respond to the ever changing demands of experts in our sector –

creative solutions are continuously being required – which is what drove us to start working on the KW8. ISE is the perfect backdrop for this type of innovation.”

For videoconferencing, its Unified Communication System integrates video, audio, text and interactive media, with a range of hardware endpoints and software apps that can be connected through the Ricoh Cloud platform, which offers a secure connection. Its scalable video codec ensures connection, even when the bandwidth drops. Its P3500 UCS conferencing system does not require a dedicated videoconference room because it is highly portable and can utilise a WiFi network connection. Combined with its portable ultrashort-throw projector, and any space can be transformed into a Huddle Room. Ricoh Interactive Whiteboards offer high-quality, smooth

Up close and personal: Ricoh’s PJ WX4141 ultra-short-throw projector handwriting and a high-resolution display, to enable easy remote image sharing. Whether used in boardrooms or work groups, they are claimed to enhance productivity and cost efficiency. Several IWBs can be connected to collaborate and can be combined with any existing videoconference system and display the video image on the IWB screen using a picture-in-picture screen. Its business projector series leverages Ricoh’s legacy of precision optics and lens

technology. The range covers lowend, cost-effective entry models to high-end, conference room projectors. Its signature projector model is the interactive vertical ultra short throw projector (PJ WX4141), capable of displaying an image size of up to 80in while placed as close as 12cm from the screen, making it ideal for huddle rooms or digital signage. It offers 3,300 lumens brightness, and comes in wired or wireless versions.

Smart Building

F&F FILIPOWSKI

VOX POP In which areas do smart buildings present the biggest opportunities for the AV/electronic systems integration industry? Businesses in all markets are under increasing pressure to run their buildings more efficiently and in a smarter way. The latest smart buildings are not just technologically switched-on but are technologically responsive too; adjusting automatically to the needs of their occupants. In order for these buildings to realise their potential, centralised control and management is essential and there is a huge opportunity for platforms such as AMX’s Resource Management Suite (RMS), which can provide IT-like remote management capabilities for AV assets and building systems, allowing true building intelligence to be realised by having all components interact according to a range of pre-established parameters.

Kevin Morrison Executive vice president, global sales, AMX Stand: 1-F2, 1-F6

Collecting, analysing, sharing, and presenting data about all of the subsystems in a manner that provides context enables building operators and managers to quickly solve problems, make better operational decisions to reduce costs, and ensure the best experience for the tenants. Tools such as the Crestron 3-Series Control System and Fusion EM software make it easy for designers and integrators to provide owners and operators with the ability to harvest all of the feedback/critical data from building systems and IT/ calendaring systems. Once the data has been collected it can be analysed and directed back to systems for automated adjustment.

Michael Goldman Executive director, UC solutions, Crestron Stand: 2-C24, 2-E24, 2-E36

To allow the myriad of systems in a smart building to work together effectively, it is essential that they be able to communicate with each other. The traditional approach to integration requires custom software, which can be both expensive and time consuming to implement. Technologies that integrate disparate systems using their video outputs, however, offer signiﬁcant opportunities to simplify installations, consolidate control of multiple systems, and integrate even legacy systems with no network capabilities. RGB Spectrum’s video-based integration approach centralises control, and uniﬁes communications between all building systems, allowing operators to respond more effectively in critical situations.

The Proxi family of products by new ISE exhibitor F&F Filipowski enables users to control electronic devices in the home or office directly from a smartphone. Proxi consists of dedicated modules for required functionalities such as power, light, shade and gate and enables users to control any device with a smartphone application. Garage doors, old lamps or shades can be navigated in a single app thanks to Proxi radio modules, which turn existing appliances into smart products. A simple installation inside the electrical housing of any device means that costly and disruptive building works can be avoided and a traditional electrical system can quickly be transformed into an

intelligent one. Proxi radio modules are based on Seed technology and use Bluetooth Smart communication protocol to connect a device directly to the smartphone. When the user enters a room, the application will automatically know which devices are present. Devices can also be conﬁgured and users can be managed directly from the application. It allows for creating public or private modes, enabling the user to decide who access is shared with. A combination of Proxi radio modules and Proxi plug means users don’t have to make changes to add connectivity to the home or office, but can instead retroﬁt spaces and become a part of an ecosystem of connected devices.

The conﬁguration process is based on Ethernet (wired or WiFi), removing any location limit of physical components. Input and outputs are open, so they can control anything wired to the unit. User interface is free and can be accessed by any device, computer, smartphone, tablet or smart TV by using a web browser. For a better user experience, the company also offers a range of apps for mobile devices to enable the control of any building automation standard,

WOICE enables users to control building automation using their voice removing compatibility issues arising from several protocol implementations. Wtech’s apps lets users create a personal user interface, with commands and scenarios matching needs and desires.

New large-venue projector VIVITEK

FEATURE Together For Cinema – AV industry supports a caring vision Michael Burns reports on an AV industry initiative that benefits the wider community In the high-tech, fast-paced environment of ISE 2015, it’s worth taking some time out to consider just how much of a difference the AV technology around you might make to the enjoyment of a child with a terminal illness. It also might surprise you to know that a number of vendors, individuals and organisations with you in the Amsterdam RAI today have made this possible for free in their own time. Founded in 2009 by Ian Morrish, sales manager of ISE, Together For Cinema is an initiative that sees the AV industry donate time, products and services to bring the cinema experience to a network of children’s hospices in the UK The goodwill behind this project has been matched by its success: to date it has completed 13 cinema room installations across the UK with all products, services and expenses donated free of charge by all involved. Over 80 companies have given their time and services for the project, which is driven and ably co-ordinated by Morrish in his own time and run in conjunction with the Together For Short Lives charity. This, the leading UK charity for children with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions, supports families, professionals and services, including 53 children’s hospices in the UK. The project has its roots in March of 2009, when Ian Morrish was watching a programme on British TV called The Secret Millionaire, which featured a holiday home for terminally ill children and their families in Blackpool, England. “I couldn’t help but be moved by this,” recalls Morrish. “Rather than simply donate I contacted them to see if we, as the AV industry, could do anything to help. To cut a long story short about 12 months later a well-received cinema log cabin was opened.” Together For Cinema has set a target of completing 25 cinema rooms by 2020. “We are well on track to make this,” says Morrish. “Twelve different installers have donated their time and almost 70 different manufacturers and distributors have donated product. Working with various industry friends such as CEDIA, Wildwood PR, AWE and Pulse

Helen House is the latest UK children’s hospice to have a cinema room installed – with all products and services donated free of charge

Marketing, all associated services have been covered such as PR, product storage and a website. We already have two more projects lined up for 2015: Keech Children’s Hospice in Luton and Naomi House Children’s Hospice in Winchester. These will both be complete by the end of the year.” Helen House The latest installation, which was completed in November 2014, is particularly notable as Helen House was the world’s ﬁrst children’s hospice, opening in 1982 on the outskirts of Oxford. It cares for children, young adults, and their families mainly but not exclusively from Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Gloucestershire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Wiltshire, and parts of London. “After 30 years Helen House was undergoing some comprehensive and richly deserved refurbishment and were soon ready to look at the opportunity we were offering them,” explains Morrish. “A meeting was set 1 April 2014 for the installer and me to view the location and determine which of the refurbished areas might be most appropriate for the cinema installation.” Iain Brown, of Kensington Home Technology, had recently completed one cinema room at Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice in Arundel, and had asked Ian Morrish to keep an eye out for another room that he could get

involved with. “I mentioned Helen House to him and bearing in mind the history and also its accessible location in urban Oxford, he had no doubts and immediately agreed,” says Morrish. “My personal thanks go out to Iain as he is the first installer to have taken on a second installation as part of the Together For Cinema campaign.” A fairly ambitious kit list was created for the install at Helen House, but both Morrish and Brown were confident they could gather products pretty swiftly. “As it turned out this was certainly the case,” says Morrish. “Brands such as Crestron, Dataflow, Epson, Gefen [via Digibox], Humax, Kaleidescape, Middle Atlantic [via RGB], Monitor Audio, Velodyne [via Redline Distribution] and Yamaha all generously stepped up and contributed, helping transform the room into a wonderful cinema. The approximate total cost of the install, including consultation, installation, products and any other associated costs would normally have been in the region of £16,000 for an end user price.” Morrish adds: “Iain’s efforts, and the generosity of all concerned will make a difference to all those that use the room for many years to come. Very simply, the cinema room at Helen House is another installation our industry can be very proud of.”

New videowall mounts B-TECH Exhibiting for the 11th successive time at ISE, B-Tech Audio Video Mounts is unveiling a number of new products that have been under development over the past few months. The BT8370 Freestanding Video Wall Mount is described by the company as the ﬁrst of an exciting new generation of products which features B-Tech’s dynamic new mounting system. Made from extruded aluminium, this system is said to be lightweight, incredibly strong, have a high-end aesthetic quality and be capable of being assembled quickly and easily. B-Tech expects it to appeal in applications such as menu boards, ceiling mounts, trolleys and videoconferencing solutions. It can be used in multiple videowall conﬁgurations and is designed to be easily expanded if more screens are added to the installation. The frame can be used stationary or as a mobile mounting system with braked castors. The new product includes

‘standard’ B-Tech features such as 8-point tool-less adjustment, integrated cable management and a spacer system to simplify installation even further. Other solutions on display from B-Tech’s range of videowall mounts include the BT8310 pop-out videowall mount and the freestanding BT8350, which can now be used to assemble videowalls in a curve. It can, according to the company, be conﬁgured to meet most screen requirements and the curvature gives an all-round better viewing experience. “This will be our 11th consecutive year at the ISE and it is a major part of our calendar,” said B-Tech’s managing director, Matt Bennett. “Due to their important place in today’s AV market, our main focus will be on videowalls and digital signage, mobile mounting solutions and videoconferencing.

Available in both cased and PCB-only versions, it can support multiple camera connections in SDI and composite video formats with multiple streams. Decoding can be achieved using the same hardware or with what Antrica claims is a unique low latency custom designed player: the player is available for integration with customers’ own software.

The ANT-1771 can be controlled via both IP and serial connections and a full software development kit is available. Onboard recording to internal ﬂash or external SD card is supported, as are UDP MPEG TS or RTSP streaming as well as transport stream and STANAG 4609 metadata generation and extraction. Recordings saved locally can be played back remotely. The ANT-1771 PCB module weighs just 65g with connectors attached and measures less than 80 x 62 x 22 mm in PCB format and 105 x 72 x 32mm in the cased version.

Many of our partners like Adobe and Apple include automated delivery of edits to the cloud already. As the infrastructure beneath it all continues to build on Fios, and compression standards like HEVC mature, we expect to see even more of this being utilised in practice.

The cloud has the potential to dramatically change how we think about the installed audio market. The rapid adoption of AoIP networking, especially those using traditional IP networks, will lead to more ‘connected’ audio products. While this connectivity is initially being used for the transport of highquality, uncompressed audio, the fact that these device are on the network lays the foundation for a variety of new services to complement the hardware. In the not too distant future, many of the services that are standard in the IT world such as remote monitoring, diagnostics, repair, and back-up could be offered for installed audio applications.

Shifting network management and configuration to the cloud is changing the way integrators do business. Equipment can be installed on site, and later configured remotely. This decoupling of formerly onsite tasks simplifies hiring and project staffing as you no longer need someone who can install and configure. A distinction can now be drawn between the less expensive and knowledgeintensive installer skillset needed on site from the more specialised network/IT skillset working offsite. In addition to changing the project economics, this removes staffing as a barrier to the dealer’s ability to scale up to take on new business.

The M-5000, a live sound digital mixing console on a flexible new operating platform, is making its debut to the European market at ISE. Roland said the platform, known as OHRCA stands for three key concepts: Open; High Resolution; and Configurable Architecture. This combination adapts to the needs both of the application and the operator by delivering 128 freely definable audio paths, a flexible user interface, expandable protocols and multiple-format I/O choices. All paths are delivered at 24-bit/96kHz sound quality. The M-5000’s internal architecture can be freely defined within a range of up to 128 input or output channels or busses, allowing the operator essentially to build a console to suit the application. Each path can be used as a mixing channel, AUX, matrix, subgroup buss or MIX-MINUS buss in any input/output configuration. Roland suggested one primary

application might be for the monitor position, where a high number of auxiliary busses are needed. In addition to two REAC (Roland Ethernet Audio Communication) ports, the M-5000 has two expansion card slots to support a range of system conﬁgurations and audio transport protocols such as Dante, MADI, Waves SoundGrid and other networking formats. The back panel includes 16 x 16 analogue I/Os, 4 x 4 AES/EBUs, a 16 x 16 USB audio interface and a connection for control via an iPad, connected or wireless. It also features control ports including foot switch, GP I/O, RS-

232C and MIDI to enable the console to see up to 300 inputs and 296 outputs, all at 96kHz. Inputs can also be patched to outputs independently of mixing channel resources. Workﬂow is intended to be user assignable, exploiting a 12in colour touchscreen, 28 channel faders in four groups, multifunction knobs and buttons, selected knob functions and an entire user assignable section. Displays are bright, colour-coded and highly visible in any light. The built-in GUI is expandable via Mac and Windows remote control software to any portable device.

Smartphone, meet smart subwoofer ELAC ELECTROACUSTIC Three new subwoofers from Elac that can be paired with a free app running on an iOS or Android device will offer users much simpler control and the ability to easily optimise the speakers for any room. This will mean no more fiddly adjustments at the rear of the subwoofer. Instead, there are four pre-set modes (Normal, Music, Cinema and Night), plus various pro-audio options, such as a parametric equaliser, a low-pass filter, and individual settings for the power-saving auto-on function. There is also a calibration function, which uses the microphone on a smartphone to listen to the volume, frequency response and sound reflections in the room before automatically optimising the sound of the subwoofer. The three models are:

the compact SUB 2050, with a 12in chassis and a 500W Class D ampliﬁer; the 600W SUB 2070, which is only slightly larger, but uses a push-pull arrangement

with opposing 10in membranes connected to one another by a solid shaft; and the largest model, the 1,000W SUB 2090, which employs the same push-pull conﬁguration,

with two 12in membranes. All three can be connected directly using loudspeaker cables (left, centre, right) or stereo RCA cables. The 2090 and 2070 also offer twin XLR sockets. All three also have a wireless interface for cable-free music streaming.

Stand: 11-D36

Mini lasers emit vertically OPTOWELL Korean first-time exhibitor Clarion manufactures optical interfaces and transceivers for industry, consumers, telecommunications and network applications, using vertical cavity surface emitting laser technology. The GaAs-based VCSEL, developed by Optowell, results in a particularly small micro-semiconductor laser diode and, because it emits the laser vertically rather than traditional edge-emitting lasers, it makes it simpler to install fibre optics. Clarion has four products on show here. The Bi-di Transceiver module is a 10Gbps bidirectional VCSEL SFP+ (enhanced small form-factor pluggable) transceiver. The Optical DVI module offers highspeed transmission using a single, small LC type multi-mode fibre. The Optical HDMI Module provides high-speed transmission via a single LC type multi-mode fibre at up to 4K, including EDID data and HDCP in real time, at up to 300m. Clarion also has a small Optical HDMI Converter that is designed to let digital flatpanels display the optical signal.

Speaker: Robert Simpson, Founder Director, Electrosonic The session is divided into four sections. The first is a refresher tutorial on such topics as visual acuity, the photopic luminosity function, contrast sensitivity function, temporal modulation transfer function and chromaticity. These are then related to display performance. The second section is devoted to flatpanel displays. Mention is made of many flatpanel technologies that have fallen by the wayside, have not yet become well established, or are not mainstream. The main emphasis is on LCDs and LED displays. The third section is devoted to projection. This describes how the main electronic projection technologies (LCD, LCOS and DLP) work, and the range of products available from pico projectors to highpower 4K. The hot topic at the moment is ‘laser’, so an evaluation of illumination technologies forms a significant part of this section. The final section applications develops some of the topics already presented, for example, the problems presented by the very high data rates required, and introduces some more specialist aspects of displays.

EXHIBITOR VIEW Disrupting the replacement market If you want to replace one technology with another, then you have to match some of the previous incumbent’s specifications The size of the corporate and education projector market in EMEA is expected to reach €4,400 million in the next five years with 50% of the sales coming from the replacement of existing installations. DLP has a long history of projection innovations starting with the first mainstream projector in 1996. Today, DLP is the number one projection display technology and recognised worldwide for its reliability, brightness and low cost of ownership. However, one area DLP has not been able to dominate is the replacement market for projectors installed in meeting rooms and classrooms. The main reason for this is that customers look for replacement models that fit the existing ceiling mounts and

match the screen size. So far, DLP projectors with a throw ratio of 1.8 to 2.1 were unable to match the average 1.4 and 1.8 throw ratio of LCD projectors. ViewSonic is launching a new range of DLP projectors, LightStream, which will provide a solution for this issue, matching the throw ratio of LCD projectors. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities for users, resellers and system integrators. LightStream projectors also provide a brilliant new solution for meeting rooms, classrooms and home use, featuring a stylish design as well as exclusive new features including SuperColor and SonicSound for enhanced viewing and listening, a new cable management hood and a patented HDMI/MHL connection

Mark Lufkin Managing director, ViewSonic Europe compartment allowing users to connect a variety of dongles and stream content wirelessly. As a result we are looking to achieve signiﬁcant growth in the coming year and aiming to disrupt the replacement market with our new range of DLP projectors which have been designed speciﬁcally to target the replacement of traditional LCD projectors.

Full UHD resolution signal tester WYRESTORM The TT-KIT-4K is a new signal testing system from Wyrestorm, comprising the TT-GEN-4K UHD 4K HDMI timing signal generator and the TT-SIG-4K UHD 4K HDMI source signal analyser. It supports all resolutions up to full UHD/4K. The TT-GEN-4K generator uses internal software and a 1in display to set timing, including resolution, refresh rates or scan types and sync polarity, as well as pattern type used to test colour, gradient, detail, motion and 3D. Signal types, colour space and depth can also be set. Audio types up to 8.1 can be tested using a 3.5mm jack input, with audio capable of being embedded over the image. There is also an EDID

setting to read, store and recall EDID codes. The TT-SIG-4K UHD 4K HDMI analyser is able to test timing at the display location by displaying data of incoming signals to ensure it matches what is being transmitted. Video is displayed on the 2in OLED screen. In terms of EDID, the unit can mimic any TV, screen, or projector by storing its EDID for the integrator to recall anywhere to test an installation without needing to have any screens on site. It also features a ‘monitor’ function that can be used to test a signal over a deﬁned period of time. The TT-GEN-4K will be shipping in Q2 of 2015.

Screen technology now ISF-certiﬁed Fully certiﬁed: TecVision Engineered Screen Technology is available in six formulations

DRAPER The TecVision Engineered Screen Technology on show at ISE 2015 has, says its developer Draper, now been certified by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF) for excellent colour reproduction and fidelity. To be certified by the ISF, a screen has to have a flat spectral response – or colour fidelity. In other words, the screen cannot affect the colour of the image enough for the human eye to perceive. Traditionally, projection screens have fooled the eye that things are brighter by using blue tints, according to ISF president and founder Joel Silver. “The problem,” said Silver, “is if you accentuate the blue that means you aren’t getting the greens or reds you need to build a colour-accurate image. We want to take whatever the artist created and bring it to the screen with fidelity.” “We basically tie ourselves into something called a pure white matt screen, a screen that is a reference colour,” Silver said of testing projection screens for colour performance. “Neutral white, not a hint of tint to it. The picture you get is what was it was meant to look like from the factory: not tinted.” Currently available in six formulations, TecVision features white surfaces with gains ranging from 1.0 to 1.9 and grey surfaces that are said to have excellent performance under higher room light levels. All TecVision surfaces are also 4K ready, but what Draper claims most impressed Silver when certifying TecVision is the ability of some of the high gain surfaces to deal with ambient light while preserving colour fidelity. “Finding the colour fidelity of high gain materials close to that of no gain materials was wonderful!” Silver said. “Gain without a price to pay is a wonderful thing. I knew from measuring luminance even without the specifications that these screens were high gain, but I wasn’t seeing the penalty of colour shift.”

EXHIBITOR Q&A

EUROSCREEN

Roland Ollek CEO Sales & Marketing, Guntermann & Drunck In your opinion, what is the best thing about the ISE show? With so many fast-paced changes in technology, decision makers have to consider their investments wisely which is a balancing act. To consider the best opportunities they need to be at the pulse of the industry: ISE – where both decision makers and suppliers come together. It is the place to demonstrate our expertise, and also the place to enhance our experience by listening to the needs of the market.

What do you think are the key developments in your market sector at the current time? KVM technology has considerable and extensive potential. Over the years KVM became more and more a management tool instead of just a way to switch and extend signals. Often, true magic unfolds only by combining devices. Comprehensive monitoring functions and firmware expansions offer various ways to considerably expand the functional range. Manufacturers need to keep up

with these requirements. And that’s what we do. Why should delegates visit your stand at ISE? Because niche technologies like KVM deserve a closer look. Because their relevance to the overall business value is not to be underestimated. KVM is considered the ‘enabler’ of business processes. It ensures access to an available computer environment; the basic requirement for most of us to work at all.

VINCI loudspeaker range expands again APART AUDIO Two years ago, when the company celebrated its 20th anniversary, Apart Audio launched the VINCI series which consisted of an integrated ampliﬁer (VINCI2125) and two loudspeakers (VINCI5 and VINCI7). Last year, Apart added the VINCI4 bookshelf loudspeaker to the range – and at ISE 2015, it is highlighting the latest addition in the form of the VINCI8S. The Apart VINCI8S active subwoofer with high power ampliﬁer is designed to reproduce a fat and deep bass at moderate sound pressure levels. Due to its discreet design and small dimensions, the subwoofer is said to be very easy to integrate even in the most demanding environments. The VINCI8S is designed to be the perfect match for the Apart VINCI4

and VINCI5 bookshelf speakers or the VINCI7 cabinet loudspeakers. The company says that the combination is the ideal sound system for retail stores, shops, and restaurants or meeting rooms, as well as residential applications where the VINCI8S subwoofer is said to be compatible with most home cinema systems and AV receivers. At the back of the subwoofer, an adjustable crossover frequency and level control potentiometer is available for optimal blending of the VINCI8S with the main loudspeakers. The VINCI8S can also be set in energy mode, causing the subwoofer to switch to standby mode automatically after a few minutes if it detects no signal at the inputs. In standby mode, it consumes less than 0.5W. The VINCI8S – which is available in black or white – has a bass reﬂex

speaker design with an 8in long throw woofer. The cabinet is made of MDF with a high gloss paint ﬁnish, and features a magnetic removable grille and the option of either rubber feet or spikes for optimum installation and sound quality.

Multiple screen control with Ermac Ultra EKTA The number of screens involved in projects are increasing, requiring new management systems, which is why Ekta has created a new generation of video processor, the Ermac Ultra, which can simultaneously manage a complex of 32 screens of different models and conﬁgurations. “As a rule, to manage one or several screens of the same type requires one video processor,” said Ekta sales director Oleg Bogomolov. “Ermac Ultra readily works up to 32 screens of different types and sizes. This distinguishes

it from other processors on the AV-technology market and opens up opportunities for the most grandiose projects.” The system combines many complex functions that were previously handled by different devices. Processor operation can be carried out via any of the ﬁve control interfaces: USB 2.0 for desktop/laptop PC and touchscreen, system console,

DMX512, Ethernet and internet. It supports a resolution of 3840 x 2160 at 60Hz with 18-bit colour processing, and is based on a new Nvidia quad-core processor, the Tegra 3, for high performance. It has 3G-SDI, DP 1.2 and HDMI inputs, and can manage large video surfaces (including 3D) with a total number of pixels displayed of up to 10 million at 60Hz.

X marks a sweet spot for amplifier tech POWERSOFT The X Series amplifier is making its ISE debut, consisting of two models suitable for both fixed installations and concert touring. The X8 offers eight channels in a 2U chassis, while the X4 features four channels in a single rack unit. Both models share the same power density and can deliver up to 5200W at 2ohms per channel. The X Series natively supports AES3, two redundant Dante digital streams and analogue inputs, providing up to four different selectable input sources per channel. Powersoft says the power supply is now suitable for singlephase, bi-phase or three-phase operation from 85V AC up to 440V AC without the need for manual selection. True three-phase load balancing is directly achievable by the unit without any complex load assignment in the power distribution system design. Neutral connection is not necessary, given the capability

4K infrastructure continues growth GEFEN As the necessary 4K/UltraHD infrastructure starts to grow, a company doing its bit is Gefen, which is demonstrating a range of products at ISE 2015 designed to allow UHD content to be extended and integrated. The UltraHD Extender over One Fiber delivers resolutions up to 4K (3840 x 2160 @30Hz) with RS-232 and bi-directional IR using one SC-terminated ﬁbre optic cable. This long-range solution is said to be effective up to 2,000m in distance. RS-232 offers an easy method of system automation and control, notes Gefen, while bi-directional IR facilitates control from both local and extended locations. Surface-mountable enclosures provide maximum installation ﬂexibility. Gefen’s UltraHD ELR-POL Extender is its newest HDBaseT extender, providing point-to-point

transmission of 4K UltraHD content with RS-232 and bi-directional IR. PoL (Power over Line) provides power to the receiver using the same Cat5 cable, and alleviates the need for a power source at the receiver side. Distances up to 150m at 1080p full HD and up to 100m at 4K UltraHD can be achieved. Content is delivered with near zero latency, the company says, using industry-standard Cat5 cabling combined with Gefen’s ELR (Extra Long Range) implementation of HDBaseT technology. Gefen is also unveiling its UltraHD 8x8 Matrix which routes eight sources in any combination

to eight displays with seamless switching between all sources and displays. Gefen FST (Fast Switching Technology) is included to speed switching time and improve the HDCP authentication process. Lossless audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio are delivered along with resolutions up to 4K supporting 3DTV pass-through. Selectable buttons on the matrix enclosure enable users to reﬁne system performance, and include options for advanced EDID management, audio, FST modes and routing options.

Ermac Ultra can manage 32 screens of different types

of the unit to work in delta connection on three-phasesystems. The power supply also features full Power Factor Correction as well as Powersoft’s patented Smart Rails Management technology, ensuring that the X Series runs as efficiently as possible. Claudio Lastrucci, R&D director for Powersoft, said: “Our sights have been fixed firmly on the future during the design of the X Series. We looked at what we believe amplifiers will require for the next 10 years and made a platform capable of meeting these needs as well as building in a certain level of future proof expandability.” An integrated WiFi connection permits the Powersoft X Series to be managed via smartphone or tablet through an interface specifically developed for local monitoring. Support for100Mbps and Gigabit Ethernet makes the X Series easy to integrate into any existing infrastructure.

The LQ Series linking family and new capabilities in the Eclipse HX digital matrix intercom systems are being showcased at ISE 2015. Clear-Com claims its new LQ Series is a fast and simple solution to extend or link intercom or audio to any remote location over secure IP network – LAN, WAN or internet. LQ devices come in a 2-wire (LQ-2W2) or 4-wire (LQ-4W2) option. The LQ-2W2 can connect partylines together for an intercom circuit over IP and is Clear-Com and RTS compatible. The company says the concept is similar to a mini partyline main station with IP connectivity. The LQ-4W2 connects and routes audio between analogue ports of any matrix intercom system, analogue telephone circuits, two-way radio gateways and audio consoles. A maximum of six LQ Series devices can be linked together in any 2- or 4-wire combination.

The Eclipse HX v8.0 conﬁguration software for the Eclipse HX digital matrix intercom systems enables standard IPconnected V-Series panels to operate both as fully functional intercom keypanels and as multichannel audio gateways. There is no requirement for additional hardware or software licences. The software feature extends the Eclipse HX’s existing capability to provide remote matrix intercom connectivity over diverse IP infrastructure at no additional cost, which Clear-Com says will enable audio and intercom connectivity for applications such as live events to be more cost-effective.
