Swiss transport signage win DAKTRONICS Schweizerische Bundesbahnen (SBB), Switzerland’s largest travel and transport company, is working with ISE exhibitor Daktronics to install 50 LED video displays, representing a total of 475sqm, throughout 17 railway stations across Switzerland. The pilot installation was completed in October 2014, and the next 40 displays at 14 different railway stations will be installed between July and November 2015, with the installation of eight additional displays at another two

Rolf Bauer, region manager at Daktronics and Peter Wenger, strategic purchaser of electrical equipment at SBB locations planned for 2018. This project upgrades SBB’s

technology from ﬂip-digit displays and some previously existing digital signage. The displays will show a combination of train schedules and travel information to advertising and emergency messages. “It’s a new way of thinking, a new approach to the old ‘boards’ method, also from an advertising side,” explained Rolf Bauer, region manager at Daktronics. “The schedule is the ‘hottest point’ in a train station, it’s where people look and it’s the best place to combine information with advertising.”

The cloud: It’s even bigger than you thought “There’s really no need to store any data on premises in your building. Don’t do it. It’s too expensive and not reliable enough.” This bold statement came from David Snipp, CTO, Stardraw.com in a Tuesday InfoComm education session, “Cloud Computing and Big Data - What is it? How does it work? Why you should care”. Snipp detailed how scalability, elasticity, reliability, and accessibility are just some of the major beneﬁts to cloud computing. “The Fourth Utility it is - soon to

be as common and cheap as water,” he said. Perhaps the best part of the cloud is its elasticity, observed Snipp. Storage is literally unlimited and can be scaled in minutes. A business’s servers can take a pounding at certain times, but it’s straightforward to add more servers for a few days, then scale back down. Reliability is an increasingly attractive aspect of cloud services. Each ﬁle is essentially stored across multiple servers; should one fail,

An object lesson in sound A revolutionary audio technology could soon replace the sound systems in our homes and cinemas, said Dolby Laboratories in a Residential Solutions Theatre session yesterday. Object-Based Audio (OBA) uses a new way of coding a movie soundtrack. Instead of mixing sound for multi-channel audio (like a 5.1 or 7.1 sound system), each sound (a car horn or a child laughing) is an object, which

can be placed anywhere in a room. Each object is accompanied by metadata, which describes the sound location. This information is fed to a processor in a cinema, which uses the data to place the sound in exactly the right spot. The result is a more realistic sound, which can even come from above (think of an aircraft soaring overhead). Dolby introduced object-based audio to cinemas

a new copy is created. All of them would have to fail at the exact same time to truly lose your data, which, Snipp noted, is virtually impossible. There are many misperceptions about the security of data in the cloud, Snipp said, but he noted that in the event of a theft or network intrusion, the cloud enables precise analysis of a break-in, and it can be rolled back in minutes. As annual global IP traffic is predicted to hit 1.3 zettabytes by 2016, the cloud is the platform to support global business.

two years ago with Dolby Atmos, and Brett Crockett, senior director, research sound technology at Dolby Laboratories, says all the major studios have embraced it. Rival audio company DTS has also developed OBA technology. Object-based audio is now available to consumers. “Developing the technology for the home was challenging, because we wanted the overhead sound to be realistic, without putting speakers in the ceiling,” said Crockett. The result was

InfoComm enjoys lively uptake of Guest Members at ISE 2015 INFOCOMM INTERNATIONAL Did you know that, as an ISE attendee, you also have a chance to experience InfoComm for free? Under the Membership Scheme at ISE 2015, showgoers can sign up as a Guest Member and receive free entry to all InfoComm seminars at the show. Godwin Demicoli, regional director Europe, InfoComm International, explained, “We wanted to give showgoers a sample of what we can offer. We have 30 seminars at the show. They are free of charge for our Members, but they are also free of charge for the Guest Members.” “We also have some free online courses for our Members, and Guest Members will be getting that as well, if they register at the ISE show,” continued Demicoli. “So for these three days, they are going to be fullyf ledged members of InfoComm. The online courses are available 24/7 for six months after the show, so they can enrol here and do them at their ease anytime over the next six months.” Demicoli added: “It’s giving them a taste of what InfoComm can do for

Crockett: “Object-based audio is the future” the development of floor-mounted speakers, which fire sound up at the ceiling. “We had to hack your hearing to make it work,” added Crockett. Another benefit of OBA technology is its scalability. An OBA processor counts the speakers in a home audio system and adjusts the

sound accordingly. “Object-based audio is the future,” Crockett told the ISE Daily. “We are really excited by its potential. It’s much more ﬂexible and realistic than multi-channel sound. We think it could replace today’s audio systems within three years.”

Come together: the rise of Things are at a tipping point uniﬁed communications

Depperschmidt: “People don’t want to hear about standards – they just want it to work” An idea accelerating more effective collaboration is Uniﬁed Communications (UC), the blending of voice, web, video, instant messaging and other communications systems. “Anything that makes it easier for you to connect with others will deliver a better payoff,” said Paul Depperschmidt, of Cisco’s Collaboration Business Development Group. Speaking at ‘Next Generation UC: drive richer business outcomes and engagement’ in the Uniﬁed Communications Theatre yesterday, Depperschmidt noted that the demand for UC is coming from the bottom up: “In the past, technologies used to be pushed from the top down; now it’s coming from employees wanting to do the same things they can do on a smartphone or tablet while at work.” Collaboration increasingly

happens out of the office. By 2016, Depperschmidt said, 40% of the workforce would be mobile.“Cloud conferencing means you can meet others in your room in the cloud.” Speaking to the ISE Daily, Depperschmidt said that while there was a compelling case for UC, challenges remained. “Cost and culture are issues, and some companies have invested in technology and don’t want to move. There’s often a period where you have to push people over the edge to, say, use video. But once they’ve done it, they don’t want to go back.” He added: “UC is getting much easier to integrate, prices are coming down, and the ability to deploy on a large scale is easier. So you can see a lot of the barriers are coming down. People don’t want to hear about standards – they just want it to work.”

Delegates attending a CEDIA training session yesterday got a chance to hear about new technologies that will impact on our lives and bring new business opportunities. “We are living in a time of technological revolution,” said Dave Pedigo, senior director of learning and emerging technologies at CEDIA, in a session entitled ‘New Technologies Update’. One technology that delegates need to be familiar with is the Internet of Things (IOT), said Pedigo: “That reached its tipping point last year – it’s growing fast.” The IOT connects billions of devices to the internet – such as fridges, televisions, cars and wearables – which communicate with each other. Related to this is home automation, such as smart heating, lighting and home entertainment systems. But this market is fragmented, noted Pedigo, with competing platforms, standards and systems. And many mass-market home automation products deliver a disappointing performance. “I think there’s a huge opportunity for CEDIA members, because home automation is not plug-

According to Dlugos, there is real customer need for home cinema furnishing that is not mass-produced, and that reﬂects end user desire for something different and better. All of moovia’s offerings are designed and built in-house, which also

ALCONS AUDIO The VR8 from Alcons Audio is a two-way ultra-compact multi-purpose loudspeaker, for both portable and permanent applications. Featuring the RBN401 pro-ribbon driver, the VR8 combines a remarkable clarity and intelligibility, with a high SPL. “We’re a professional sound system manufacturer, we develop and manufacture the ampliﬁcation processing and the speakers,” said Tom Back, founder of Alcons Audio. “But in this case we also developed the transducer, the pro-ribbon.” The RBN401 is mounted on a revolvable 90°x40° waveguide and projects with patented Real-90 horizontal dispersion up to 20kHz. “On one hand it has the detail and clarity of a hi-ﬁ system, and on the other it has the power handling and efficiency of a professional transducer,” said Back.

means that, as well as offering a range of off-the-shelf options, moovia can provide custom design and manufacturing capability. “Yes,” smiled Dlugos, “a customer can come to us with a sketch of the chair he wants, and we can create it. We even had one customer come to us with his own fabric – and we were able to create a chair for him using it.” “Best of all,” he continued, “because we do everything inhouse, we can even turn round custom designs in two to three weeks. “In an industry that’s increasingly becoming commoditised, the ability to add value and deliver differentiation is something that we believe can ensure our success.”

and-play or DIY. Consumers will need our expertise in this market, probably for the next 10 years.” TV pictures have already evolved from high-deﬁnition to ultra high-deﬁnition or 4K, but Pedigo believes that 8K displays, offering even sharper pictures, are on the way. And following on are 16K systems. “I think 2017 will be the year of virtual reality,” said Pedigo. With so much change, it’s tempting to hold back for the next big thing. But that would be a mistake, said Pedigo: “There’s no end in sight for new technologies. Waiting for the next technology would mean no sale or project.”

Resi sound with concert power

SpeechLine Digital Wireless, claimed to be the world’s ﬁrst wireless digital microphone designed exclusively for speech applications, has been unveiled by Sennheiser. The microphones are optimised for speech, particularly for business applications, and are easy to install, with automatic frequency and interference management. “This is our next big thing for the corporate market. It will change the usage of wireless microphones,” claimed Kai Tossing, portfolio manager, Sennheiser Business Communication. “We’ve built in major RF and audio knowledge, so the user doesn’t have to do anything.” It will even automatically adjust the gain levels to ensure maximum clarity. The aim, he said, was to make

“the best speech microphone we’ve ever done,” with speech - optimised microphone capsules and audio processing algorithms. The microphone selection includes a lightweight handheld model with batteries rechargeable via micro USB, and a body pack transmitter that comes with a lavalier microphone or a very sleek, all metal headset. “It’s really nice to wear. It only weighs 7g”, said Tossing. The bi-directional receiver recognises if the frequency has any problems and automatically changes to a cleaner frequency. Optimum intelligibility is enhanced by selectable sound proﬁles and sound processing algorithms, including presets for bass-intensive male voices or high female voices. The systems, which will ship in June, operate in the licence-free, future-proof 1.9GHz band, with 256-

bit AES encryption, and will start from about €849 for a microphone, receiver, battery and rack mount or mobile transportation case.

4K and a stronger laser Panasonic’s Hartmut Kulessa: “a phase change from line up expansion to an overall strengthening”

PANASONIC The shift to laser light source projection is a trend that is continuing to gain momentum, and the Panasonic ISE press conference provided the opportunity for the company to demonstrate its strengthened line-up of high brightness, maintenance-free laser projectors. In his introductory remarks,

Hartmut Kulessa, marketing manager for Panasonic Visual Systems Europe (pictured) talked about a “phase change from line-up expansion to an overall strengthening” of the company’s products. According to Panasonic, the company has seen a great take up of laser light source projectors, which offer long lasting performance, high brightness and

very accurate colour reproduction – notably from education and visitor attractions where projectors are in use for extended periods and the lack of maintenance makes it an attractive proposition. The PT-RZ12K is a focus for Panasonic’s ISE stand. With a laser/phosphor light source and delivering 12,000 lumens of brightness, it is also centre stage on the Lang stand (1-N53). A year on from the introduction of a 98in 4K professional display, ISE 2015 sees the introduction of the first 4K projector from Panasonic, which it describes as “the new flagship in our projection line-up.” It is said to feature newly-engineered, industry first, pixel quadrupling technology, and will join Panasonic’s 4K broadcast products, video cameras, televisions and displays.

Rental company AED Display signed a deal for 60 of Barco’s newly launched 30,000-lumen projectors at ISE yesterday. Typically, rental companies have standardised on 20,000-lumen projectors, “but the demand for higher brightness is increasing,” said Gerben van den Berg, Barco’s VP EMEA, entertainment & corporate. Usually, the demand for brightness is addressed by stacking two projectors to give 30,000 lumens, but the new modular HDF-W30 FLEX three-chip DLP, single Xenon lamp projector is designed to ﬁll this need. To extend the life of its existing HDF models, Barco has instituted “an attractive retroﬁt upgrade programme”. AED is taking advantage of this to upgrade 40 of its current stock of two-year-old 22K units, in addition to taking 20 of the new models initially. The projectors start shipping in March. “As the HDF-W30 shares its

EXHIBITOR VIEW Leveraging USB The growing need for KVM extension with USB interface in the professional AV market CatX- and ﬁbre-based video extenders are used widely throughout the professional AV sector. The beneﬁts are widely known and all major manufacturers offer products to enable HD and 4K UHD video to be transmitted over long distances. However, a feature not often found in these devices is the ability to extend USB. This is growing in importance as interactive user interfaces become more common. Touchscreens, gesture control, facial detection systems and augmented reality all rely on a USB interface. So, too, do remote kiosks, data entry terminals and receipt and voucher printers. The facility to communicate between a computer and a remote terminal by means of a USB connection opens up tremendous opportunities. Particularly in digital signage

applications where there is a growing trend to include touch capability for user response. We are all becoming more familiar with touch control, thanks to smartphones and tablets, and people expect screens of all sizes to respond to their ﬁngers. There are many interactive installations that use USBequipped extenders in situations. For example, the Siemens Crystal in London has many displays with touchscreens, push-buttons and presence detectors, together with an RFID visitor interaction card system, all operated from computers housed in an energyefficient central control room. The concourse at Vienna Airport hosts a series of gesture-controlled videowalls throughout, with USB HID and USB 2.0 support for touch and camera interfaces. The EU Parlamentarium visitor centre in Brussels makes widespread use of remote touchscreens and

Enno Littmann Managing director, IHSE tables to explain the workings of the EU Parliament. It makes a lot of sense in this rapidly changing world to incorporate USB into remotely controlled display systems and something integrators should consider whenever they approach a new project. Even if the initial requirement is for a passive display, it is often prudent to include USB capability for potential future use.

Suitable for use with Windows 7, Windows 8 and Linux operating systems, the controller runs on a 32-bit ARM Cortex M4 processor capable of speeds

of 168MHz, enabling Zytronic’s self-capacitive p-cap (PCT) to deliver responsiveness and precision. Updating of touch event co-ordinates is carried out by the ZXY110 in less than 5 milliseconds. The processor is accompanied by two custom ASIC devices, which help minimise controller footprint while maximising touch detection performance, even through cover glass thicknesses exceeding 10mm. The ZXY110 is offered in two different versions: the 32-input

version covers PCT p-cap touch sensors with up to approximately 19in diagonals, while the 64input version is suitable for PCT sensors with diagonals of between 19in and 46in. Connection with the PC is via a USB 2.0 interface. The touch controller may also be used with Zytronic’s freely downloadable ZyConﬁg software tool, which enables touchscreen integrators to access and tune the controller’s ﬁrmware settings, should they wish.

Touchy subject: A new touchfoil for unattended rugged environments is on show

VISUALPLANET The next generation of touch sensor billed to be on show at the Visualplanet stand addresses the requirements for interaction with single-user touch applications in unattended rugged environments. A UK manufacturer of large format, projective capacitive touch sensors, Visualplanet has developed the new Single User touchfoil to address customer demand for an accurate, highperformance, zero-maintenance touch experience. The touchfoil aims to bridge the gap between the existing speed and accuracy of largeformat touchscreens and the high performance levels that customers have come to expect from small-format touch

sensors, such as phones and tablets. The new two-touch, singleuser touchfoil continues to perform through thick glass, with the touch experience remaining consistent in thicknesses up to 20mm. This makes it a good match for touch applications that need to withstand high volumes of traffic in public-facing applications. Protected behind the glass, the touchfoil remains operational in all weather conditions and challenging operating environments. Full HID compatibility and on-board processing means less reliance on the PC and increases the product’s ease of use and dependability in the ﬁeld.

Dante to USB bridge offers safe crossing for PC audio

FEATURE The rise and rise of AoIP The continuing migration from point-to-point connectivity to audio-over-IP (AoIP) networking will be strongly reﬂected on the ISE showﬂoor, writes David Davies

Dante provider: The unDUSB brings PC or Mac digital audio into a Dante audio network

ATTERO TECH Part of the problem in making sense of the networked audio revolution over the past couple of years has been its seemingly diffuse nature. An abundance of technologies, initiatives and industry consortia have given the impression of considerable activity taking place, but haven’t exactly lent themselves to clarity among integrators and end users. In this regard, 2014 may be seen in retrospect as a highly signiﬁcant year for networked audio thanks to the arrival of the AES67 standard. Published in September 2013, AES67 gained traction throughout last year, with leading technology providers ALC NetworX (developer of Ravenna) and Audinate (the company behind Dante) conﬁrming their intentions to adopt the standard. Refreshingly in a segment of the market that is no stranger to confusion, the objective of AES67 is fairly easily explained. A Layer 3-based protocol suite based on existing standards, AES67 is not a solution in its own right; rather, it allows interoperability between various existing IP-based audio networking systems. It’s still early days, of course, but with multiple leading manufacturers able to support the standard the result should be increased momentum behind AoIP in general. Further exciting developments are expected in 2015, too, with the AES currently working on a control standard for AoIP networks. Referred to in its developmental phase as AESX210, the projected standard will

specify a scalable control protocol architecture for professional media networks. Providing the foundation of this work is the Open Control Architecture (OCA), spearheaded by the OCA Alliance. Doubtless the Alliance will provide further updates to visitors to its ISE stand, but AES standards manager Mark Yonge recently told me that he hoped the complete standard would be published around Easter time. AVB still highly relevant All these developments around Layer 3-based networking shouldn’t be allowed to obscure the recent upsurge in activity relating to the Layer 2-oriented AVB (Audio/Video Bridging). Questions over the availability and higher costs of AVB switches certainly haven’t gone away, but AVB-promoting consortium the AVnu Alliance has strengthened its case in recent months with several significant announcements. In December, the Alliance released details of the first AVnu-certified AVB audio endpoint reference platform, which will allow customers to quickly build a wide range of AVB-enabled audio products – ranging from single speakers to complex mixing consoles. Simultaneously, the impression of AVB reaching new markets beyond its pro-audio core was underlined by the introduction of a fresh AVnu segment, Industrial, and a trio of new members. Biamp – whose Tesira platform makes use of AVB to deliver

audio signals between Tesira devices – will be among the ISE 2015 exhibitors showcasing their AVB support. Elsewhere on the showfloor, Barix and Harman will be discussing their latest developments geared towards user-friendly audio networking, while BroaMan will be highlighting the ability of its fibre-based platform to meet a host of professional video, audio, and data transport and routing requirements. The reality is that it might be another 12 months before the long-term market implications of recent developments become clear, although it’s a fairly safe bet that Dante – which currently has more than 180 licensees and whose developer, Audinate, is also exhibiting at ISE 2015 – will remain a dominant player. More generally, the best recent news is that audio manufacturers and consortia have sharpened up their pitches and begun to explain the benefits of networked audio in a way that is more easily comprehensible. The next hurdle will be to translate this accessible language to the discussion of real-world applications, but the impression is that many of the key players are poised and ready for the challenge.

The unDUSB Dante to USB bidirectional bridge is making its debut in Hall 7. Attero Tech claims the unDUSB is the perfect way to integrate audio from a Windows PC or Mac into a Dante audio network. It provides two channels from Dante to USB, and two channels from USB to Dante. Applications include audio and video conferencing using soft codecs like Skype or Microsoft Lync, where the audio can be bridged to an existing Dante audio system in the room. In a similar fashion, previously recorded audio content can be played from a PC or a Mac and reproduced by the

Dante audio system. The unDUSB appears as a stereo sound card to the computer, and any application that can play to or record from a USB sound card can utilise the bridge. In this way, the company says, audio data will never see the analogue domain with the unDUSB, with audio remaining digital from input to output. The company adds that the unDUSB is simple to set up, and requires no drivers on either a PC or a Mac. The USB bridge is powered by either external 9V to 24V DC or any PoE network switch, so audio and power are delivered on one Cat5 cable.

RayOn MINI speaker joins its big brothers ACTIVE AUDIO Following the launch of the RayOn R60 and R200 speakers in 2014, Active Audio is launching the RayOn MINI. The RayOn range, says Active Audio, was born of its wish to offer StepArray’s DGRC technology to a wider audience. StepArray loudspeakers are designed to equip large rooms in acoustically challenging environments, such as those in which sound reverberates. Mounted vertically, these

2015

columns, whose vertical directivity is digitally controlled, are said to provide excellent reproduction and intelligibility of voice and music. DGRC – an Active Audio patent – is described as a synthesis of geometric and electronic arrays. The main difference between DGRC columns and other ‘classic’ DSP columns is that they decrease the number of channels to be controlled independently. Like the other speakers in the range, the RayOn MINI features

an aluminium enclosure and can be used in either 100V line or low impedance mode. The RayOn MINI will also be EN5424 certiﬁed for use in a voice alarm system.

In the pink: InventDesign’s Dynamic Light Surface can alter the mood of a space

INVENTDESIGN The idea of playing with light and transforming any interior in to an inspiring space where people feel at ease is behind InventDesign’s Dynamic Light Surface. It is a user-friendly LED mood lighting system that can be used on walls, ceilings or in design objects, and users can interact with it by waving in front of it, pressing a button or using a remote or a computer. “We have spent much time making the product as easy as possible to install, whether it would be to a ceiling or a wall. Even for the biggest size of Light Surface it wouldn’t take more than ﬁve minutes to mount in place. The companies we partner with for making this product a reality

have given us a wide range of possibilities for installation, from stiff direct connections to steel cables and magnets. We think that freedom when it comes to installation is crucial for a great product,” said Stefan Verhoef, creative director of InventDesign. It can create a more pleasant office ambience, be an eye-catcher in shops, or have a positive effect on a patient’s healing process in hospital. Waiting areas, such as in an airport, could also beneﬁt from the Dynamic Light Surface, where images like drifting clouds offer a more relaxed atmosphere. The Dynamic Light Surface comes in three sizes (all 90mm deep): 1,200 x 600mm, 1,800 x 600mm and 2,400 x 1,200mm. Custom sizes can also be made.

According to home theatre furniture company Fortress, it is becoming increasingly evident that when it comes to designing home theatres or media rooms, home theatre enthusiasts are seeking more unique options rather than settling for ‘off-theshelf’ products. The Kensington home theatre chair was a collaborative effort between a homeowner, his designer and Fortress. The challenge, according to the company, was to develop a home theatre chair that echoed tones of the home owner’s Ferrari along with the necessary features and functionality of a theatre chair.

The open arms lighten the scale of the chair, says Fortress, and the channelled back is said to add a unique look and fantastic comfort. Fortress is one of the few companies in the industry that manufactures its own chairs. Working with a manufacturer like Fortress, the company claims, gives the client and the integrator the ﬂexibility to customise the seating any way they like; whether it’s following a particular curve in the room, creating a custom design, or incorporating some of Fortress’s accessories. Featured at ISE 2015, the Odéon is one of several new designs by Sheba Kwan for exclusive production by Fortress.

Major release for SI 2015 D-TOOLS

System integration software company D-Tools is showing off what it says is a major new release of its ﬂagship software platform, System Integrator 2015. The new SI 2015 release adds productivity features and enhancements that D-Tools believes enables residential and commercial AV integrators to both streamline business processes and increase proﬁtability while simultaneously maximising efficiencies and reducing overhead.

In-wall speaker pioneers return ORIGIN ACOUSTICS The team that invented the inwall speaker has reunited to form a new company and intends to change the architectural speaker market. Jeremy Burkhardt and his two previous partners at SpeakerCraft, Ed Hasse and Ken Humphreys, have reunited to form Origin Acoustics, which is making its ISE debut this year and launching several collections of loudspeakers. The 10 models that comprise the Composer collection of inwall loudspeakers feature a new SpringLock mechanism that requires no tools, as the dogs are spring loaded and snap into place with a twist of a thumbnail. The precise amount of needed torque is placed on the drywall, avoiding any warping of the baffle or damage to the wall itself while securing the speaker and maintaining the seal between the exterior and interior air spaces. A new surround technology is employed on all the woofers in the collection. The X-Wave butyl rubber surround is actively

involved in absorbing 7001,400Hz resonances that run up and down the woofer cone causing unwanted distortion. The surround is also part of a progressive suspension system that becomes more rigid as the driver approaches its furthest excursion point. Origin says this results in greater control of the cone and less distortion at maximum volume levels. The Dual Plane Stabilized Diaphragm (DPSD) tweeter is suspended at both the outside edge as well as at the peak of the

dome. This improves linearity and power handling along with lower frequency extension. Origin claims this allows the tweeter to crossover much lower to the woofer section, resulting in a major improvement in overall dispersion of the system. The team also changed the aspect ratio of the baffle to closely mirror the Golden Mean. As a result, the longer and thinner proﬁle is much more aesthetically pleasing in the home, says the company.

AURORA MULTIMEDIA

SeeHearTouch: Enhancing children’s lives with AV The Irmengard-Hof Hospice provides therapy and aftercare for severely ill children. Michael Burns reports on an important charitable initiative created and supported by ISE We all know kids love ﬁlms and music. Visiting the cinema or a concert with family and friends can be great fun. However for many children with terminally ill conditions and life-threatening illnesses, perhaps surrounded by essential medical equipment, that is a simple pleasure they can no longer enjoy. However what if the cinema or concert could come to them? In a move that draws upon the kindness and giving nature of many in the AV industry, Integrated Systems Europe has launched the SeeHearTouch charitable programme to help children’s hospice projects across Europe. In an attempt to bring delight and distraction through entertainment to both children and their families, the programme will equip children’s hospices with the latest homecinema and media technology. Mike Blackman, managing

director of Integrated Systems Events, explained: “The inspiration for SeeHearTouch comes from the work that our sales manager, Ian Morrish, has done in the UK, bringing together manufacturers, distributors and custom installers to deliver home-theatre systems to children’s hospices that would otherwise not be able to afford them.” In 2012, ISE’s Board of Directors approved a proposal to develop the SeeHearTouch idea and take it a stage further. Blackman explained: “That decision enables us to allocate part of our revenue each year to subsidising the work of industry stakeholders who undertake to design and install home theatres and media rooms in children’s hospices across the continent.” Already the ﬁrst installation has been completed, for the Björn Schulz Foundation, at the Irmengard-Hof, near the lake of

Chiemsee in Bavaria. Donated as a hereditary lease by a Benedictine Abbey, the estate has been converted into a hospice for therapy and aftercare for severely ill children. It also now features a home cinema installation. The sponsors donating their time and products were principally Claus Lohse and Stefan Mehre from a/c/t Beratungs & System in Munich who installed and integrated the cinema, while the equipment sponsors, all of whom gave their products free of charge, included Epson for a projector, Screenline for the screen, VIVATEQ which donated speakers and racks, Arcam which provided a surround sound receiver and Crestron for a media control system and touchpanel. ISE has said it is very pleased with the result and has stated that it is to announce new projects after the ISE 2015 show.

CORIOmatrix mini EXHIBITOR VIEW gets debut Ascending to the summit Matrix revolution: The CORIOmatrix mini 1 RU routing switcher is said to be more than just a matrix router

TVONE The recently launched CORIOmatrix mini is being showcased for the ﬁrst time in Europe at ISE 2015 by tvONE. Other products featured on the stand include the HDBaseT Output Module for the CORIOmax product line. The new CORIOmatrix mini 1 RU routing switcher is described by tvONE as more than just a matrix router; it is a 12-port scaler, format converter, audio router and HDBaseT extender all in one unit. The C3-310 version of the CORIOmatrix mini is said to be unique in that it uses modular hardware with ﬁve (or 16 with the larger four RU, C3340) AV module slots that offer a wide mix of signal management options. The CORIOmatrix mini is based on tvONE’s CORIO 2 technology.

2015

CORIOmaster, CORIOmaster mini, CORIOmatrix and CORIOmatrix mini, when equipped with HDBaseT output modules, can automatically be set up to extend HDBaseT 60m, 100m or 150m depending on the receiver used. The HDBaseT Output Module is a two-port, HDCP-compliant module with scaling that allows the extension of high-resolution digital video as far as 500ft (150m) over a standard Cat5e/6 cable. The module can now auto-detect the receiver connected to the system and conﬁgure itself without user intervention. tvONE provides the 1T-CT-642 for 60m HDBaseT lite, the Magenta Research HD-ONE DX/LX for 100m HDBaseT and the Magenta Research HD-ONE LX/DX 500 for 150m HDBaseT extended mode.

It features 16 scalers, 12 inputs, and 4+1 outputs. Its modular design allows two units to be linked together to build a much more powerful system when necessary

(up to 24x8+2 / 32 scalers / 16 true seamless layers). As with other Ascenders, the Ascender 16 can be upgraded to 4K resolutions or retroﬁtted into an Ascender 32 or Ascender 48 when required. In addition, the Ascender 48-4K (ref. ASC4806-4K) will demonstrate the constant innovation drive of Analog Way. The Ascender 48 will be demonstrating the unique and unchallenged ‘Perspective Live Layers’ feature. This allows the animation of up to 12 realtime high-resolution PIPs with perspective viewing using X-Y-Z rotation control, designed to produce unprecedented presentations. To leverage easy control of the Ascenders, Analog Way will showcase the new AW VideoCompositor, a solution designed to enhance the

Adrien Corso CEO, Analog Way integration of our LiveCore processors into a Crestron automated environment. It provides full preview as well as advanced real-time presentation control on a standard Crestron touchpanel. This control module was designed to ﬁll the need of system integrators pressed to produce, in a corporate environment, show systems comparable those used in the staging world.

Digital signage that’s state of the Art AOPEN EUROPE “The demand for digital signage is coming from marketing and sales managers who are looking for ways to either interact with their customers or to increase sales,” – a customer that is increasingly tech savvy, according to Gabriëlle Offringa, marketing manager, Aopen Europe. “It gives integrators and technology companies like Aopen the possibility to take digital signage to a level where technology really is integrated with daily programmes and business,” she added.

Old Masters, new interaction: Digital signage helps KPN promote the Rijksmuseum

An example of this is an innovative marketing campaign for digital out of home (DOOH) media presented by KPN in metro stations in Amsterdam and Rotterdam for the promotion of the Rijksmuseum. It used digital displays to show animated masterpieces, and reinforced its impact by connecting with its viewers via social media. It has proved successful in increasing the brand awareness of KPN being one of the main sponsors of the Rijksmuseum, and connected with a wide audience to offer them something unique. Using digital signage also

offers the possibility to analyse campaigns via video analytics to track the amount of viewers, which Offringa says is a great beneﬁt for evaluating the campaign. This can also be done via interaction on touchscreens, or by analysing the amount of selﬁes and shares via social media. DOOH integrator CS Digital Media developed the Rijksmuseum concept for KPN, based on Aopen Digital Engine media players, which it chose for their stability, reliability, price and the small form-factor.

Wall-mountable, easyservice Slim-Cubes

On (and off) the wall: eyevis’ new wall-mountable Slim-Cubes

EYEVIS

Stand: 10-P142 Slim-Cubes are new wallmountable rear-projection cubes with a depth of less than 422mm that, according to manufacturer eyevis are faster to install and easier to service. It is claimed to be the only rear-projection system that can be directly mounted on a wall as there is no need for space behind the cubes for ventilation or service access. Designed for use in control rooms and TV studios, the SlimCubes can be mounted directly on a wall without a substructure. The space saved means that the units can be employed in smaller control rooms or studios where

rear-projection cubes were not previously suitable because of their space requirements. An integrated exhaust unit simpliﬁes connecting them to an air-conditioning system, so that videowalls can be integrated directly into the building infrastructure. The projection units use a singlemodule design with integrated and motorised geometry adjustment for quick and easy setup. Like all eyevis cubes, the new slim model uses a robust self-supporting casing and seamless screen bracket with discreet screen clamp to install big videowalls with small bezels between adjacent displays.

Going with the ﬂow: BlueRiver NT chipset ﬂows uncompressed AVB signals over 10GbE

APTOVISION The new BlueRiver NT chipset from AptoVision is claimed to be the world’s first to take advantage of Ethernet AudioVideo Bridging protocol for uncompressed AV signal distribution over 10GbE switches. It also delivers a complete end-to-end solution for professional AV applications requiring long-distance transmission and switching of 4K HDMI video, analogue and digital audio, RS-232, IR, GbE and USB signals with plug-and-play interoperable operation between device types, signal types and video resolutions. “Ethernet-based platforms are poised to replace pro-AV networks which currently rely on custom switching equipment,” said Kamran Ahmed, CEO and co-founder of AptoVision. “By delivering an end-to-end AVBcapable chipset supporting all pro-AV requirements, AptoVision is leading the way in bringing the disruptive power of Ethernet to pro-AV applications.” In installations requiring traffic shaping and bandwidth reservation, AVB enables a platform where uncompressed video data and non-video data can be transmitted over a LAN environment with predictable performance. The chipset is designed to be integrated into source-side AV transmitters and display-side AV receivers, and transmits uncompressed Ultra HD (4K) HDMI-video, 32 channels of audio, USB 2.0i and useful control signals over fibre or 100m CatX cabling using a packet-based architecture allowing the signals to be extended and switched through standard 10GbE switches. Proprietary technology handles arbitration, source clock recovery, bandwidth management and network configuration, and ensures realtime, pixel-for-pixel, zero-frame latency transmission. The BlueRiver NT technology also supports real-time compositing for multi-view and videowall applications.

Multicast HDMI over IP gets USB HID support BLACK BOX NETWORK SERVICES The new MediaCento IPX USB receivers and transmitters from Black Box offer USB human interface device support for touchscreens and other USB HIDs, and can be conﬁgured for point-tomultipoint (multicast), videowall or point-to-point video extension (unicast) applications. If managed with the IPX Controller, the system turns into an IPbased video matrix. Transmitters can also send USB signals to a receiver for remote touchscreen and KVM applications. It multicasts HDMI video and audio to any screens on a network. “A single transmitter can deliver multimedia to hundreds of displays with no need to run dedicated video links from a back room to displays in lobbies,” said Erik Indresovde, Black Box’s KVM and ProAV product manager.

EXHIBITOR VIEW On the leading edge of visual display innovation Taking the initiative in a world that expects to be inspired with eye-opening possibilities

Video distribution over IP: Black Box’s MediaCento IPX USB receiver and receivers install directly into the existing LAN infrastructure, for easy integration. The extender transmits up to 100m over CatX cabling, or further when additional network switches are added. The MediaCento IPX USB can be powered using standard PoE technology or via a separate power input. However, using a PoE network switch completely eliminates the need for external power supplies, making installation even easier.

The consumer world is changing at an ever-so-rapid pace. With new user experiences explored, developed and introduced to the market, we are facing a spiking demand for life-changing or -empowering products and services. It is crucial that we take the initiative to fulﬁl this need for more. For visual display innovations in 2015, three major trends will continue to evolve and dominate all markets: • From Mobility to Seamless Content Sharing on the Go. With everything shifting to mobile, consumers are moving from the simple personal enjoyment of smart devices on the go to broader applications in life, such as utilising these devices for work purposes. Hence the step forward

would be to cater for seamless content sharing between multiple devices, getting consumers fully mobilised and connected. • Interactivity Across Multiple Devices and Platforms. New interactive experiences will be created to enhance consumers’ interaction with digital content. Nothing is simpler than to use your own ﬁnger to manage your digital lifestyle. Enhanced interactivity will continue to be of focus for products like IFPs, digital signage and projectors. • Versatility in Everything. It’s easier to think of this in terms of ‘simpler solutions for everything’. Everything you design and make should meet multiple demands at once, such as digital signage that can be used as a store poster for sales messages on one side and

Pete Wang President, BenQ Europe as an interactive product guide on the other. It would be interesting to spot out these trends in ISE 2015. Technology innovations are meant to bring more enjoyment and quality to every aspect of life and it’s up to us to open the world to more possibilities. Let us encourage each other in our endeavours.

Speakeasy: The FreeSpeak II intercom system supports large numbers of simultaneous wireless users

Which technology do you think will have the greatest impact on the industry over the next ﬁve years – and why? The streaming video revolution is coming. People will connect video signals using network cables which will carry packet data. HDMI, DVI, SDI and DisplayPort will all be sidelined except for direct connection point-to-point between two devices, such as from a PC to a desktop monitor where even now the 30-yearold VGA RGBHV format remains king. HDBaseT will go the way of the dinosaurs and dodos, unless it too can adapt to be able to run over standard network infrastructure. We already see convenience trumping picture quality. Video is becoming a convenience item, and for that reason alone video streaming will take over.

I think the biggest impact will be the convergence of IT/AV. Integrators no longer work on an AV system as such, but on more wideranging communication systems that deliver AV content. Digital signage, videoconferencing, streaming media and mobile call collaboration are just a few examples of IT/AV convergence. The dynamic features in Dataton Watchout reﬂect that direction, too.

Fredrik Svahnberg General manager, project sales division, Dataton Stand: 11-F80

4K UHD is getting a lot of press these days, but I think the most important technology will be video over IP. Video delivery will become ubiquitous, with little differentiation between delivery methods and pathways to the viewer. Dedicated and specialised cabling has always been a roadblock to video distribution. With IP video, distribution can be over lowcost network cabling, existing network infrastructure, fibre or wireless with no loss of quality or detail. Gefen is already the leader in delivering highdefinition video over all of these media, and is showing even higher definition products at ISE 2015.

CLEAR-COM According to Clear-Com, the FreeSpeak II digital wireless intercom system offers improved roaming capability and enhanced digital sound. An enhanced DECT-based offering, the FreeSpeak II system operates in multiple licencefree DECT bands from 1.8971.933GHz. FreeSpeak II can be implemented as a standalone base station wireless system or as an integrated wireless solution within Eclipse HX matrices, a system that ClearCom calls FreeSpeak II Integra. Five-channel, full-duplex FS II-BP wireless beltpacks have been designed with ergonomically positioned controls and rugged housing for extended use under harsh conditions. The beltpacks are IP65 rated for water and dust resistance with

a Li-Ion battery lasting over 18 hours on a full charge. Beltpack operations including battery health, RF status and antenna link can be monitored in real time via the base station or Eclipse HX version 7.6 software. When using the base station, up to 20 such beltpacks can be connected. In an integrated matrix setup, up to 50 full-duplex wireless beltpacks can be used at the same time by strategically placing 10 or more distributed remote antennas to create an expansive coverage zone. These beltpack users are then able to directly communicate with any other remote or local matrix panel or other wireless or wired beltpack user who is on the Eclipse HX Matrix System network. This allows users to simultaneously roam across an expansive area without compromising on performance.

Lync up: Inﬁnity offers Lync users increased meeting ﬂexibility

PEXIP After little more than a year on the market the Pexip Infinity scalable meeting platform has reached Version 7, which improves accessibility, enhances Lync functionality and adds Infinity Connect client software. “Users can now collaborate on shared content and see participants at the same time, drag-and-drop contacts during calls, and include more users due to our firewall-friendly technology [media-over-TCP] – all while providing the best meeting experience for users and making virtual meetings as easy as picking up the phone,” said Simen Teigre, Pexip CEO.

Infinity 7 also provides a preview of the industry’s first bidirectional simultaneous multiparty RDP HD video and screen sharing – allowing virtual collaborators to share content and see participants at the same time. This should significantly improve the experience for Lync users in mixed Lync and standards-based videoconferences. The new Infinity Connect suite of clients adds another simple way to join Infinity VMRs and make point-to-point calls. It is installable on Windows, OS X, and Linux, and supported natively in WebRTC-enabled web browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera (with non-

For example, we all know Dropbox, Avast and WordPress,” said Michael Gotalsky, TrueConf CEO. Inspired by these examples, “we have decided to be the ﬁrst to implement this business model in the videoconferencing market.

We believe that this can make videoconferencing more popular, and will help to increase business process effectiveness.” It offers companies free, secure videoconferencing independent from external factors, provided in the form of on-premises solutions, and not a cloud service. Although there are existing free videoconferencing services, TrueConf claims they “are not capable of providing the desired level of security and cannot fulﬁl the speciﬁc needs of business users.” More than six participants can be added for a fee.

Bringing a resolution to 4K and HD disparity WYRESTORM The new WyreStorm MX-0808PP-POH-4K UltraHD matrix is based on the Class A HDBaseT VS100 chip. It boasts a 5Play feature set including 100m transmissions of 1080p/48-bit at 60Hz with HD audio, discrete internal IR routing and RS-232, internal LAN switching to send Ethernet and 100W power along a single Cat5e/6 cable to display zone devices. It can handle 4K transmissions at 30Hz up to 70m, supporting resolutions intended for both broadcast / consumer and commercial applications and offering 2160p at 300MHz, 24-bit true colour. The WyreStorm 4K matrix offers a modular transmission card-based design consisting of HDMI in, HDBaseT out and switched HDMI out, capable of feeding up to 16 screens from a single unit in an 8 x 8+8 conﬁguration, and thus enabling connection to existing

4K devices. Modular upgrades will be developed as and when connectivity, such as HDCP 2.2, becomes standardised. Internal EDID management, using preset, stored or recalled settings via control software, negotiates communication between connected source/ display devices and features Power-over-HDBaseT to power new slimline PoH display receivers. The WyreStorm EXP-SCLDAC-4K scaler sits between receiver and display and automatically scales up 1080p content to UHD 4K at 30Hz on any 4K screens, or scales back 4K transmissions to 1080p 24fps. The addition of Dolby downmix to stereo PCM functionality means multichannel audio up to 5.1 can be distributed to supported zones and automatically scaled down to compatible stereo PCM audio without sacriﬁcing the integrity of the transmission.

Digital conference system launched BEYERDYNAMIC Reliable, intuitive, functional: that’s how the new digital, wired conference system Orbis is described by its manufacturer, beyerdynamic. Orbis consists of several components: table top microphone units, solutions for discreet and individual integration, a central control unit – optionally mountable or free-standing – and an extensive range of accessories. According to beyerdynamic, high-quality

materials and an innovative onebutton navigation concept for easy operation make this control unit unique, setting new standards with regard to design and operability. The system is wired with standard Cat5 cables, and the practical cabling options of the microphone units allow the cables to be connected from below or behind and work as a cable strain relief. Backlit silicon buttons with Braille and a connection for a headphone or an induction loop for hearing assistance follow the UN convention

for equality of disabled people. Thanks to numerous customisation options, beyerdynamic says that the microphone units can be adapted to requirements very simply and thus provide customers with complete freedom with regard to design. The housings are available in various colours and, says the company, there are no limits for the control panels: logos can be integrated, and the colour and material can also be changed.

HDL Helping hotels reduce costs and minimise environmental impacts is at the heart of ISE 2015 exhibitor HDL’s strategy. Using the HDL guest rewards program, hotels can help their energy-conscious guests by encouraging them to save water, energy and linen. The program enables the hotel management system and the guest to monitor in real time the exact amount of resources that are being used. This monitoring is enabled via an iOS or Android application and a specially developed HDL server. When a user has checked in, they simply download the app and input their room number

and personal details. Once this is done, the server syncs the room and phone together, enabling real-time transmission of energy consumption. Monitoring can also be enabled through the hotel management system, as can the energy consumption guides. These guides can provide a guest with an energy usage target, which if achieved could result in reimbursements or discounts from the guest’s ﬁnal bill. If a guest needs new linen or housekeeping, they simply use the app to make their request known. Any maid in the hotel can also use their phone to connect to the system. This allows them to be notiﬁed immediately when their services are required. The checkout process can also

be initiated from the guest’s phone. This again saves time and begins the calculation of any discounts or rewards the guest has earned.

Dynamic revamp for retractable screens ARTHUR HOLM/ALBIRAL DISPLAY SOLUTIONS Arthur Holm’s new DynamicX2 has been re-designed to become the slimmest aluminium-built retractable monitor on the market. The Dynamic3 series has also been re-designed, with a new mechanical system to reduces noise and provide smoother movements. The DynamicX2 series offers silent, fast, reliable, individually addressable and remotely diagnosable monitors, which are compatible with multiple sources and provide a safety system that stops the mechanism in case of resistance. The monitors provide automatic adjustable tilting using a patented system that requires only one engine. This means fewer components, higher reliability (ﬁve-year warranty), reduced noise and no maintenance. The passive coverplate prevents dirt or objects from falling inside the mechanism and the lift system has different speed levels depending on the screen position,

which avoids abrupt movements. The DynamicX2 and Dynamic3 both now integrate an Interactive Setup Display that allows individual addressing (30 monitors can be individually controlled through one port), shows on the LCD screen the command it has received, and helps to optimise installation time and costs. A secondary menu allows speed adjustment and auto calibration. There is also a new version

of the AHnet software, which controls and diagnoses any installation of Arthur Holm Dynamic products. It allows the creation of user memories so that the room can be quickly set up for different uses. Its auto check function loads test ﬁles and the system can send an alarm by email, if a unit is failing, with the cause of the malfunction. It can remotely check up to 900 screens simultaneously before an event.

New ﬂushmount conference panels

MIGHTY BRIGHTY

TELEVIC CONFERENCE

2015

The Hearing HotSpot is described by its manufacturer Williams Sound as an innovative new listening technology that allows any venue to stream audio via WiFi from TVs, music sources or live programmes directly to an individual’s smartphone or tablet. To listen, an individual simply connects to the local WiFi, downloads the free Hearing Hotspot app from the Google Play or Apple App Store, and selects the audio channel they want to hear. Each Hearing Hotspot system is customised, consisting of hardware components and a proprietary software license. Once a system is installed in a venue, the software license is activated by Williams Sound based on the number of channels (up to 56) at that venue. Williams Sound remotely monitors the status of each system and can deliver system upgrades directly to the venue without going on-site. Elsewhere, the Digi·Loop

induction loop amplifier from Williams Sound is claimed to be the first of its kind to maximise modern amplifier technology. The company says that DSP audio processing offers flexible, powerful software control of mixing, equalisation, compression, loop phase shift and more, with powerful Class D, pulse-width amplifiers maximising efficiency, and reducing size and weight. Network control capability is said to provide seamless, remote system set-up, operation and monitoring via laptop, tablet or other portable device. The DigiLoop’s dual-amplifier design offers flexibility, with the option of a single 12A output for perimeter loops or dual 10A outputs for loop arrays or one loop and one loudspeaker. Priority input (70-100V) is also available for connection to a paging system. It is also, according to Williams Sound, the only loop amplifier to offer an easy-to-read LCD graphic display.

Flexible friend: Conﬁdea-F has been designed with ﬂexibility and customisation in mind

Confidea-F, a new range of Plixuspowered flushmount conference panels for traditional conference applications, is being introduced by Televic Conference. The company says that Confidea-F, which has been designed with flexibility and customisation in mind, fully benefits from Plixus´ audio processing and routing capabilities. The new wear-resistant metal panels replace the TCS5500 range and All-in-One panels, which Televic says have become the industry standard over the years for high-end applications such as international institutions, parliaments and councils. With Plixus compatibility, the new

Hearing HotSpot is innovative

Confidea-F is said to present a significant upgrade, allowing traditional audio conferencing set-ups to fully benefit from the advanced conference network technology. Confidea-F has been designed for flush integration in furniture. The rounded corners make clean integration easier, according to Televic, when sunk perfectly flush into milled desktops. The dimensions of each of the Confidea-F variants have been shrunk to take a minimum amount of space. The Confidea-F range has been designed in a modular fashion that the company believes offers a multitude of possibilities for combining and arranging

functionality. The manufacturing process allows for custom finishing and screening. “The introduction of Confidea-F is a logical step in our roadmap,” said Didier Rosez, product manager at Televic Conference. “What Plixus has to offer is so compelling that a transition to this conference network technology for our flushmount solutions is inevitable.”

The ability to turn pretty much any wall or ﬂat surface into a projection screen is what Mighty Brighty’s business is all about. The company notes that many people still project on to an untreated white wall, which produces a poor-quality image. According to the company, buying a projection screen can sometimes cost almost as much as the projector itself – and there’s a good chance that the screen will stretch out of shape over time. Mighty Brighty Projection Screen Paint is what the company proposes. The foundation of the screen is the BaseCoat, which also determines the contrast level. A checklist allows the user to determine the right amount of ContrastBooster to be used, and this sets the grey

level of the BaseCoat for the screen area. Possibilities range from matt white to ultra grey (high contrast). After applying the BaseCoat, a TopCoat is required. Using the same checklist, the user determines the amount of BrightnessBooster, which sets the gain value for the TopCoat. Mighty Brighty offers a gain range from 0.9 up to 1.4. An option is the MagneBorder, which is said to greatly heighten contrast perception of images on the screen. A magnetic paint must be applied prior to the BaseCoat and TopCoat; the magnetic borders can then be easily placed and removed from the projection area. At ISE 2015, the company is featuring a new demonstration video on how to apply its paint-on screen on a wall.

EXHIBITOR VIEW Evolving to match signage growth Peerless-AV’s transition over the past handful of years has been an exciting journey which has reflected the astonishing growth in the digital signage market. Innovation in the area is key to continued success The past ﬁve years have proven very interesting times for Peerless as we evolve from a predominantly ‘mount’ business into an AV solutions company. The reasons for our transition to Peerless-AV are simple: we want to be more than just a mount/commodity to our customers. As the displays market is rapidly changing, so are the uses and applications. Therefore, while we never want to lose sight of our heritage and still invest considerable resources in designing and manufacturing our award-winning specialist mounting systems, we have started to offer a more complete solution to both our OEM and distribution/reseller partners. Core to our business, and that of our customers, is the continuing growth of digital signage and this includes the

potential for outdoor applications and wayﬁnding. Peerless-AV and our customers have seen the opportunity to provide a full range of enclosures for indoor and outdoor use. Peerless-AV now supplies complete IP68rated display solutions capable of providing high-quality outdoor digital signage in the most extreme conditions – from the coldest winter to the hottest summer. Further investments in specialist wireless and broadcast products, coupled with a full range of universal kiosks, with the ability to customise colours and ﬁnishes, see Peerless-AV fantastically well placed to provide complete solutions. We see this approach and these products as great ‘technology drivers’ and opportunities for our partners to address the changing

VANTAGE EMEA

Gordon Dutch Managing director, Peerless-AV EMEA demands of their customer and end user in the coming years. The digital signage market will continue to expand in the coming years, with much of this growth coming from ‘super size’ displays of 80in and above, along with 4K resolution panels. These new premium technologies require solutions that are not only packed with installer-friendly features to simplify installation, but are robust, secure and manufactured to the highest quality.

Paging loudspeaker cuts through background noise SOUNDTUBE For paging applications, critical announcements need to be both heard and understood even if there are high levels of ambient noise, which is why Soundsphere designed its new 110 Page loudspeaker. Unlike conventional paging horns that deliver harsh, unintelligible sound, the 110 Page is claimed to deliver “crystal-clear voice announcements in noisy areas”, whether these are transportation hubs, emergency facilities, manufacturing plants or cafeterias. “This speaker was speciﬁcally engineered to produce clear, intelligible announcements at SPLs up to 116dB,” said Pierre

Louis, international sales manager at sister company SoundTube. “A single 11-7/8inhigh speaker covers the same area as multiple conventional speakers and horns. Even very large open spaces can be covered with just a few 110 Page loudspeakers.” The 110 Page leverages Soundsphere’s 360º horizontal dispersion for improved offaxis response and higher intelligibility, even at long distances. The speaker offers transformer taps for 25V, 70V and 100V systems, with a 4-ohm version also available. It is powered by a 6.5in full-range driver that is boosted by an oversized neodymium-ferrite hybrid magnet system.

In-ground installation affords the homeowner better sound performance, lower visibility and greater security. The IGS10 employs ultra-low mass Metal Diaphragm Technology (MDT) woofers for high sound quality and durability. The woofer is a Magnetic Liquid Suspension (MLS) design, which the company says results in longer cone excursion for superior bass output and lower distortion. As an added benefit, the magnetic fluid serves to draw heat away from the voice coil for highpower durability. The IGS10 also features Near’s UDIO (upside down/inside out) low-frequency driver technology. UDIO is an inverted cone diaphragm woofer driven by voice coils wound both inside and outside the former. With UDIO technology, Near says frequency linearity and sound quality are maintained even at punishingly loud volume levels. It will not colour-fade even after years of direct sun exposure and is designed to meet or exceed the stringent Mil-Std-810 (Humidity, Salt Air, Heat, Cold, Immersion) and IEC IP X5 durability standards. This has the effect of making it totally weatherproof not just weather resistant, says the company, offering a combination of commercial-grade durability with high-end residential sonic performance.

What will professional AV and electronic systems integration look like in 2020 and beyond? At what point will the majority of AV signals travel over air instead of wires? What challenges will 8K resolution present? How will smart buildings become smarter – and what role will AV systems play? Most importantly, what technology that we can’t imagine today will upend our world tomorrow? The answers will shape the AV and electronic systems markets for years to come. Hear from our expert panel as they project ﬁve to 10 years into the future of AV and electronics to separate fads from game-changing features. Bring your own questions and prognostications as you and the panel seek to identify the Top 5 Future Trends to come out of ISE 2015. Seminar Level: Intermediate (2+ years’ experience) “We’re hoping to have some fun with this panel. Few can really predict the future – especially of technology – but why not try? We’ve got some great minds from the AV industry who will share their insights on a number of important topics, plus we’ll throw it open to the audience to tap into their collective wisdom. In the end, the entire room will come up with a list of the most important trends that everyone should be paying attention to. Or like I said, at least have fun trying, and everyone will walk away with a better idea of how to prepare for technology change in whatever role or industry they work in.” - Brad Grimes “Nobody truly knows what the world of AV and integrated systems will look like in ﬁve years, but you will get a lot closer by understanding the real issues and opportunities that exist today and not rely on yesterday’s playbook. This is not so much a session for the futurists, rather the pragmatists; by analysing and discussing the mega-trends that are affecting businesses today, we should be able to chart a roadmap of where the exceptional user experience is headed and which services and platforms will be needed to get us there.” - Julian Philips

Learn about the two hottest subjects in AV distribution today: how to distribute 4K video, and how distributing content via Ethernet streaming can help you leverage the network. You’ll learn system design considerations necessary to ensure reliable 4K switching that works every time. As we move on to streaming media, you’ll learn how to overcome distance limitations, beneﬁt from lower cost of infrastructure, and embrace the ‘bring your own device’ movement. Seminar Level: Advanced (5+ years’ experience) “Resolutions and data rates are increasing; lower prices are driving sales of 4K displays, and providers are delivering more 4K content. This means your AV distribution systems need to handle 4K. You need to upscale 1080p signals to 4K, and downscale higher resolutions to HD. To make matters more complicated, not all 4K products work together, and industry standards are a moving target. Streaming is also a hot trend, but how do you integrate point-topoint 4K and streaming on a single platform?”

Deploying USB, HDMI and DisplayPort Bus Powered Solutions in AV System Design Speaker: Joe Cornwall, CTS-D, ISF-C, Technology Evangelist, Legrand In today’s AV industry it’s common to design, install and maintain a system that relies on other devices, either further upstream or downstream in the system, for operating power. It has never been more important to have a clear understanding of the limitations of various common bus powered devices: interactive video panels rely on USB connectivity; auto-switching solutions rely on power delivered by the video source; DACs, media converters and signal extenders embedded in cables and termination boxes often depend solely on the power supplied by the video or audio source. Do you know that your system will perform, or are you just hoping it will? This course will help you avoid the most common pitfalls of bus powered AV solutions and ensure that your system delivers quality, dependable performance. Seminar Level: Intermediate (2+ years’ experience) “We no longer live in a simple world. Once upon a time a cable was just a cable. Now we have connections with embedded chip sets, media converters and other hidden technologies that we must understand in order to design good systems and approach troubleshooting in a systematic, logical manner. You will be surprised by how many problems with HDCP, EDID, Hot Plug and connection dongles we will uncover and you’ll be delighted to know how easy it is to avoid and solve them.”

Designing AV for the Future Speaker: Todd Hutchins, CTS-D, ISF-C, TSA, Chief Technology Officer, USIS AudioVisual Systems Building-wide management technology is forcing the audiovisual industry to change its model at the core. The focus of AV is no longer about a single room design; the future of AV is about the global management of all systems under a single IP-based network so that all building-wide technology can be monitored, managed and controlled from a centralised command centre. AV teams will need to begin shifting their thinking at the planning and design phases. Physical connectivity such as cabling and comms will need to be carefully considered so that all systems and protocols can be integrated into a centralised infrastructure. AV is no longer a spoke in the wheel; AV has the capability and resources to be the driving force that maintains the infrastructure supporting all disciplines within any organisation. Seminar Level: Intermediate (2+ years’ experience) “Come take part in an interactive discussion on how building-wide management technology is shaping the future of the AV industry. This discussion will resonate with any audiovisual integrator who is interested in expanding design considerations to support new infrastructure management opportunities and increase proﬁtability.”

Introduction to Building Management Systems Speaker: Dave Robinson, Sensible Heat, UK Building management systems (BMS) is a catch-all term that covers electronic controls used to control mechanical services in buildings. Very common in commercial buildings, BMS is now increasingly being found in many high-end residential properties. These systems are traditionally supplied by specialist contractors as part of the mechanical package, but custom installers are often required to interface with these systems, or sometimes asked to provide the BMS themselves. This course will explain what systems are typically covered by a BMS, and why there is a requirement for a dedicated specialist system, with its special HVAC functions and algorithms. We’ll cover the importance of energy management, and how the BMS can help with this. We will touch on typical interfacing techniques, and look at some of the complications and pitfalls of dealing with contractors who may be more familiar with systems in commercial buildings.

AV STUMPFL

4K signal distribution Higher video resolutions require greater transmission bandwidth. Steve Montgomery investigates the requirements for 4K UHDTV distribution System integrators have become accustomed to using highdefinition AV signal extenders and switches to transmit audiovisual signals over long distances using CatX or fibre cabling in both commercial and residential installations. These are essential pieces of equipment to overcome the minuscule lengths of cable that native HDMI and DVI signals can be carried. The anticipated popularity of 4K video presents manufacturers and installers with new challenges: new equipment and/ or techniques are needed to transport 4K UHDTV over these longer distances. The problem lies in the enormous bandwidth required to handle 4K video at the highest levels of quality and frame rate. The current HD interface standard, HDMI 1.4, is capable of reaching the high resolution of 4K TV, but at a frame rate of 30Hz and with reduced chroma subsampling. Greater bandwidth, of 18Gbps and above, is required to fully manage true UHDTV at its higher levels of quality. This is addressed by the HDMI 2.0 and large screen displays with HDMI 2.0 ports are just becoming available from the larger manufacturers. Distribution problems Distribution of 4K signals is another matter entirely. While CatX and fibre cables are theoretically capable of

transmitting the higher bandwidth signals, there are currently no devices, or even chipsets capable of translating full bandwidth signals into a form necessary for transmission. HDBaseT, the most widely used connectivity standard, has a processing bandwidth of 10Gbps which is adequate for uncompressed transmission of HD and the lower levels of 4K video, but falls short of the necessary 18Gbps for full 60 frames per second 4:4:4 video. According to Sandra Welfeld of the HDBaseT Alliance: “HDBaseT is a viable and proven alternative for 4K transmission. As of now, the new speciﬁcation of the HDBaseT standard can transmit 4K, 60fps, at 4:2:0 and 4K, 30fps, at 4:4:4, which is compatible with most of the content being generated now at 4K. Our plan is to double the bandwidth so that 4K, 60fps, 4:4:4 will also be supported, if, and when the content is available. “The lack of 4K content is more of an issue than equipment. There are many 4K displays available already, and prices are coming down every day. Content, on the other hand, has come a bit slower. However 4K brings such a leap in viewing quality, that we believe it’s just a matter of time until most content will be produced at that level, both for entertainment and commercial purposes. If anything, the fact that HDBaseT is a cost-effective option for 4K delivery is a driver

for more 4K products in the pro-AV sector, as a report from FutureSource pointed out.” Technically, it is possible and viable to transmit true UHDTV signals. Aptovision’s BlueRiver NT uses two CatX cables or a single ﬁbre to accommodate the enormous bandwidth. “Alongside the capability of 4K 60Hz (4:4:4) transmission, BlueRiver eliminates the need for custom AV cross-point switches and allows the use of off-the-shelf Ethernet switches instead. So with the emergence of 40Gbps and 100Gbps switches there will likely be a move for AV distribution to the Ethernet platform,” says Welfeld. For now, 4K transmission equipment is available that can handle available source and display devices at a resolution that is acceptable to viewers. Whether or not there will be a demand for better solutions is questionable, as Welfeld points out: “Experts in the industry today expect most 4K content to stick to 24fps, 4:2:0, for the foreseeable future, because the human eye cannot detect the difference in anything better, in any normal viewing distance, be it on a living room or in a movie theatre, and there is not yet economic justiﬁcation to go any higher than that”. The industry is undecided.

Making their first major public appearance in Europe since their launch in November are two new solid-state video players from AV Stumpfl. Designed for playback of content at resolutions up to UHD, multiple players can be frame-synchronised via the network and new content can be delivered via the internet. The players, which feature a customisable web interface and numerous control options, are fully integrated into AV Stumpfl’s Avio communication layer for turnkey use in themed attractions and networked digital signage systems. Wings Avio is a network protocol that has been developed specifically for the requirements of the event industry with regard to realtime capability, reliability and usability. It is the infrastructure of the Wings AV System. The principle behind Avio Manager is to make complex

structures operable by allowing easy and decentralised management of all nodes. Various functions, such as drag and drop, graphic network display or grouping allow users to maintain an overview of the numerous sources and, says the company, to work quickly and effectively. The properties of every node can be visualised and modiﬁed in a browser window. Mobile devices such as mobile phones or tablets can also access all components via the web interface. This decentralised architecture improves system stability, according to AV Stumpﬂ, since all components communicate directly and can act independently of each other. Almost any device with a LAN or serial interface can be integrated into the Avio network via the corresponding driver. For example, projectors can be controlled by linking them up with Wings Vioso or Wings Touch.

M3 answers Android and PC-based screens the call VESTEL

AUDIX MICROPHONES Announced in October and targeted at the installed sound industry, the M3 Tri-element ceiling microphone from Audix is claimed to set a new standard in tri-element microphone performance and design. The M3 is TAA compliant, offers ﬁngertip control for adjusting cable length, and includes a UL-rated plenum box (with RJ45 connector) solution above the ceiling tile. “We received many requests from consultants, AV integrators and sound contractors looking for us to build a tri-element mic with the same high performance standards as our highly successful M70, M40 and M55 conference ceiling microphones,” said Gene Houck, national sales manager for installed sound. “The M3 is an answer to that call.” Said to be smaller than other multi-element mics on the market, other M3 features include 100% RF shielding and immunity; gold diaphragm capsules with shielded and fully balanced circuits; and a low impedance design that allows for extremely long cable runs (if required) without crosstalk or interference. The M3 is frequency- and pattern-tailored for voice clarity and rejection of extraneous noise, and is said to deliver evenly dispersed sound with undetectable phase. Included is a siliconejacketed microphone cable with adjustable length. All visible components of the microphone and cable are the same colour – charcoal or white.

The Android Signage Monitor, which integrates the Android operating system into Vestel’s digital signage monitor, allows operators and system integrators

access to multiple Android signage applications, via WiFi, 3G or LAN. It also has an integrated 3D graphics engine and LED technology, and is available in 32, 40, 50 and 65in versions. It includes 8GB NAND ﬂash memory

and an HDD option for the system memory as well as the possibility of an additional SD card to increase its memory capacity. Also new is Vestel’s interactive ﬂatpanel display with integrated PC for use in whiteboard applications for education. Offering LED touchscreen

technology, it enables end users to write on its surface with a pen or their ﬁngers. The space-saving display is available in both 65in and 80in versions, with Full HD resolution and an impressive 178° viewing angle.

Extending DVI using HDBaseT

VOX POP Which technology do you think will have the greatest impact on the industry over the next five years — and why? The next five years will be an important period for the development of intelligent and wireless conference systems. WiFi technology will have significant impact on the development for three reasons. The first is that WiFi’s popularity as a wireless internet technology means that it has gained support from numerous device manufacturers, making it extremely cost-effective. Second, WiFi technology is way ahead of other wireless technologies, because it addresses all the problems that exist in wireless technology. Last, it has a standard communication protocol, which helps conference systems meet the needs of system integration and unified communications.

UHD video and user interactivity, both of which are already on a rapid upward path to ubiquitous take-up. The greatest impact lies in managing both in remote systems. We are already tackling the problems of sending extremely high bandwidth video over long distances and simultaneously handling the return data path, primarily by USB2.0 and USB3.0 interfaces. Solving these issues will enable multipoint touchscreens, gesture control, augmented reality and other interactive mechanisms to be installed on distributed installations. This is undoubtedly a trend within the display industry for public displays where computer sources cannot be co-located with their displays.

Video comms is ready to make a signiﬁcant impact on the enterprise in 2015 and beyond. The reality is that – ﬁnally – we can extend the reach of reliable, easy-to-use, and affordable video throughout a company. Lower-priced endpoints, and the accessibility and scalability of cloud-based video solutions, will reach beyond the boardroom and deliver a connected experience to every employee, vendor, partner and customer that a company engages with.

GEFEN New extension solutions to provide options for those working with digital equipment using the DVI format are being showcased by Gefen, joining the company’s growing selection of extension solutions for digital audio/video formats. The DVI ELR over One Cat5 is claimed to provide a costeffective solution for an ELR extension of DVI using HDBaseT. It supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 and extends DVI up to 150m using one Cat5 cable, an extension of 50m over previous solutions. A low power consumption mode helps preserve power when not in active use. The DVI Extender with Galvanic Isolator sends DVI video up to 40m with one Cat6a cable or up to 30m with one Cat5e cable. Video

resolutions are supported up to 1920 x 1200. Gefen includes galvanic isolation for sensitive installation environments such as in medical or healthcarerelated fields and provides up to 5kV of isolation between the source and connected downstream equipment. Without galvanic isolation, Gefen says, the physical connection between the two could increase the risk of electric shock or potentially cause system damage. This new technology was developed to enable the use of copper cables instead of fibre optic cables, the company notes, in applications where electrical isolation is a must and the signal extension range is short. It is designed to provide integrators with an alternative to use more economical cabling in an installation that would previously have required fibre optic cables.

Microphone discussion system for 20 participants APART AUDIO Announced in October and described as a highly flexible small to medium-sized tabletop discussion system, the Apart Microphone Discussion System (MDS) is said to be easy to set up and use and filed as the perfect solution for meeting rooms, board rooms and medium-sized conference rooms. It consists of a chairman unit and up to 19 delegate units. The connection interface is located at the beginning of the microphone chain. The MDS system has what Apart Audio describes as a unique circuit loop design with an easy set-up using standard Cat5 cables for linking up to 20 units in a daisy chain (every microphone and switching adaptor can be located anywhere in the loop). When the chairman presses the mute button, only the chairman unit will be active and all delegates will be muted and deactivated. The delegates can press a button to talk into the flexible gooseneck

microphone (no mute function). The connection interface easily connects to any Apart preamplifier, matrix, integrated or mixing amplifier, allowing users to control the volume and/or use the record output for recording the meeting. Combined with one of the preamplifiers, REVAMP power amp series and with the Apart CMX20T or MASK4 loudspeakers, Apart Audio claims that the system can deliver astonishing voice clarity for board rooms, meeting rooms or medium-sized conference rooms.

EXHIBITOR VIEW Though the lens of change The projector market is going through a period of ﬂux, but while past conversations have focused on resolution, contrast and brightness, it would be unwise to forget about the lens During 2014, there was a great deal of discussion throughout the AV industry about how vendors and partners can cater to the changing ways of working with more informed endm users. System integrators and customers are constantly seeking higher resolution, improved brightness and image quality, as well as ease of use and simple installation. More so than ever, we’ve seen an inﬂux of innovation in the past 12 months in every area of the AV industry as equipment manufacturers strive to meet these needs. It’s certainly a time of change in the projector market.

suitable lens quality it is impossible to take full advantage of such advancements. Unless you have the right lens, you’re not going to see the best possible image quality. While image processing and lens design are both crucial when it comes to image quality, lens technology is the more signiﬁcant of the two. Canon’s heritage as a lens manufacturer means that we know the true value of fantastic optics, so we’re really excited about the direction the market is moving in. We’re also seeing a fresh focus on power efficiency and durability which is putting increased pressure on the industry to evolve, and ultimately pulling the sector in several directions at once. Lens design will be one of the key enablers in this evolution – brighter lenses project more vivid images

Home cinema seating is configurable ORAY Developed in conjunction with relaxation armchair specialist Variation, exhibitor Oray offers a range of seating designed specifically for home cinema. Designed to be highly modular, allowing the exact desired configuration to be achieved, the chairs can be provided as individual units, ‘love seats’ (for two with no central armrest) and in banks of two, three or four units with armrests. Operated via remote control, the backrest and leg-rest can be electrically adjusted as can the head-rest. A D-BOX option can be specified which, in effect, replicates on-screen action via motors in the chair to provide a more immersive movie-watching experience. Among Oray’s range is the Pop home cinema armchair – other ranges are the Zoom, Travelling, Cineclub and Bio – in which the leg-rest and back-rest are not

separated such that they move simultaneously. This makes them, says Oray, particularly suitable for small rooms and also reduces the cost, making them more affordable. The Pop is available in either a motorised or manual version: the former is operated via a controller integrated in the armrest or the Cupholder+ option, while the latter is operated via a discreet lever placed between the seat and the armrest. The headrest is reclinable for maximum comfort, and, optionally, the armrests can be used for storage. Three leather qualities – Toledo, Tradition or Prestige – cover a broad range of colours, with Bison and Romeo fabrics also available.

Bright LED ahead of the curve ELATION PROFESSIONAL An ultra-bright 9mm pixel pitch LED panel that can be curved up to 15º in either direction has been introduced by Elation. The EPT9IP incorporates the latest dot correction technology for superior colour and brightness uniformity and delivers 5,000 nits of brightness, more than sufficient for any indoor use and bright enough for virtually any outdoor application. It is designed primarily for the professional touring and production market, with 4,096 3-in-1 LED pixels per panel (64 x 64). Integrated curving options from -15° to +15° allow designers to create a variety of seamless curved video displays, including convex, concave and even full circle designs, while maintaining pixel pitch and without visible gaps. It uses a lightweight die-cast aluminium frame, with each IP65rated panel made up of four easily

removable pixel blocks for servicing. A refresh rate of 2000Hz means the screen won’t ﬂicker when broadcast. Designed for rapid setup and teardown, patented NTR-LoK compression pins (no tools required) make for quick and easy assembly of even the largest LED wall. The EPT9IP offers many other professional-grade features like PowerCon connectors and an auto-

sensing, easy-to-remove power supply module. Also new is the EPT6IP with 6.7mm pixel pitch, which uses SMD 2828 LEDs in a large format 640 x 640mm size, with 5,000 nits of calibrated output, IP65 rating, True1 power and IP-Ethercon data linking, 1,920Hz refresh rate and 14 bit grey scale processing.

HALL RESEARCH The UHBX-SW3 from Hall Research is a kit comprising a multi-input wall-plate sender and an HDBaseT receiver. The wall-plate accommodates two HDMI inputs and one VGA input with audio. It also supports MHL (Mobile High-Deﬁnition Link) with a phone-charging feature to allow video presentation from a smartphone using just a passive cable. The VGA input can also accept YPbPr Component video. The wall-plate can manually or automatically switch between the various video inputs and extend the video using HDBaseT standard. To control the power on/off function of the remote display, the wall-plate can generate RS232 and IR control signals which are extended using the same Cat6 cable. Virtually all VGA and HDMI resolutions are supported, the company says, including 4K. 4K video can be extended to 100m while 1080p

with a hardware acceleration engine that ensures real-time performance and 24/7 reliability. Featuring an open architecture that is hardware- and softwareagnostic, RGB Spectrum says that the Galileo processor is ideal for a range of applications. The Galileo processor supports remote collaboration through two methods. It decodes H.264 graphic and motion video streams, allowing operators to view and control remote sources. In addition, RGB Spectrum’s VDA remote desktop technology provides operators with keyboard/mouse control over remote systems and equipment via a LAN or WAN. VDA performance is, according to the

company, demonstrably superior to the industry standard VNC, particularly at low bandwidth or with high motion graphics and video. A modular design allows the processor to support a full range of input and output types (IP, analogue, DVI/HDMI, 3G/HD-SDI) with resolutions up to 3,840 x 2,160 (4K). The Galileo processor can also deliver HDCP protected content to an unlimited number of displays: RGB Spectrum says that other PC systems either do not support HDCP at all or impose severe limitations on wall size. The Galileo system is said to be easy to set up and control using a computer, tablet or mobile device.

signals can go as far as 150m. The wall-plate is powered through the same cable from the receiver using PoH (Power-overHDBaseT), which Hall Research says makes installations quick and simple. A compatible receiver (UHBX-R-PSE) is provided in the kit. To guarantee proper display of the VGA input, the wall-plate scales the output to 1080p which is supported by all HDMI TVs. Audio connected to the 3.5mm input can be extended by itself regardless of VGA input, allowing connection of audio players. The system can automatically (or manually) control the power on/off function of the remote display. If a video input is detected, the wall-plate can automatically issue the desired power on command, and in the absence of any video input, it can send an off command. The power commands can be RS232, IR, or CEC depending on the user’s needs.
