BY MONICA HECKThe 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,

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.

The future: Integrated System Europe?

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”.

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,

“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

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.”

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 diff erent 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 off ering “very strong

contrast and very vivid colours”.

The new 55in PN-V551

videowall monitor off ers 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 PN-

H701 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”.

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, location-

based 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 signifi cantly.”

“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

adjustments to be made for specifi c

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 offi ce, 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 benefi ts of the technology, it will

break down any barriers.”

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 fi ction movies and

television shows, is now nearing

reality,” said Jennifer Davis, VP

of marketing at Planar Systems.

“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 off ering in early 2016.

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.

RCS AUDIO SYSTEMS

Taking pride of place on the RCS

stand is the VARES ESC-012 A, a

2RU control centre for the RCS-

Vares 1000 digital emergency

warning system.

Compliant with VDE-O833-4,

VDE-0828 and EN 60849, the unit

is aimed at small and medium

usage voice alarm setups.

It features a graphical user

interface with adjustable colour

scheme. During any alarm

incident the display will flash red.

The password-protected menu

interface features a digital rotary

encoder.

Installation is handled

easily via the LCD GUI, with all

connected auxiliary components

being scanned and registered

automatically.

Speaker lines can be

configured as 12 single or six

A/B lines for increased security.

A mix of single and redundant

line setups for custom scenarios

is possible. Two line level inputs

of different priority levels can

be used for various tasks, like

background music distribution or

paging via a telephone system.

The internal digital message

memory (based on an SD card)

is equipped with an evacuation

announcement, a siren according

to DIN 33404 and two different

chimes (one tone and four tones).

Any faulty power amplifiers

in the system are detected and

replaced by the backup amplifier

automatically.

A logging function stores all

system conditions on non-volatile

memory in case of any technical

failure. The generated protocol

can be viewed immediately or

sent to a printer.

Taking control in an emergency

HACOUSTO INTERNATIONAL

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, return-

loop 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 LDB-

units 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

market demands. Its high-

specification modular design

is synonymous with Hacousto’s

years of manufacturing experience.

Offering a simple and easy-to-

operate loop isolator makes 4EVAC

LoopDrive an attractive product

solution for OEMs, manufacturers,

integrators, and consultants across

an array of application demands.”

integration firm Tateside. Cornish

was seeking to increase his

knowledge in acoustical modeling

and DSP, noting that many of his

firm’s customers are asking for

modeling. Honing his expertise

would bring the in-house skill sets

for Tateside to “confidently offer

end-to-end solutions,” he noted.

Another AudioForum attendee,

Thierry Staelens from Event Consult

of Belgium emphasised that pro

audio today is all “software, software,

and pen, and now it’s software.”

Staelens’ observation that front-

of-house is better known as “laptop

land” these days, with one of his most

recent jobs requiring four laptops

running various pieces of software,

seemed apt as Powersoft system

engineer Luigi Chelli launched into

his session. With the “high granularity

of DSP control,” he said, “you can

shape the coverage of your PA

very carefully and tightly to your

audience.”

The sessions made it apparent

that digital is not only essential. As

Chelli commented, it’s actually “a

no-brainer, because it actually saves

you a lot of headaches.”

VUTEC CORPORATION

The new ArtScreen powered by

QMotion is said to be the world’s fi rst

battery-powered media concealment

product and is being launched by

Vutec. The showcase solution is

designed to transform any fl atpanel

display into a work of art without the

time-consuming and costly task of

running power lines. Available for

fl atpanels 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 fl atpanel display is not in use,

the digital art on a canvas image is

displayed within the frame; when the

artwork is retracted, the fl atpanel

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

retrofi tting to an existing installation

is much easier, as you don’t have

the expense and inconvenience of

running a power supply to it.”

OUTLINE

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 fi nishing

techniques developed specifi cally

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

fi ltering technology. The company

claims the technology produces

a more natural and lifelike audio

response by distributing the

frequency resolution over a semi-

logarithmic scale.

Outline iP48 also off ers

raised-cosine fi lters. Compared

to traditionally implemented

parametric functions, these

deliver improved transfer curve

shaping, controlling intervention

frequency bandwidth more

precisely while maintaining

minimum-phase response.

MARTIN PROFESSIONAL

ISE 2015 visitors who think

they know Harman’s Martin

Professional MAC Quantum

Profi le may like to think again. The

product, which was launched last

year, has been shown to many

customers, rental houses and

lighting designers – and while

the company says feedback has

been overwhelmingly positive, the

exposure has helped to identify

elements that needed attention

in the fi nal construction process.

Changes in hardware design and

software have been implemented

and Martin says it has a state-

of-the art fi xture ready to go to

market with a bang.

According to Martin, the

extremely bright LED Profi le fi xture

incorporates the best possible

quality of white light combined

with a super-quick, yet smoothly

operating CMY colour mixing

system and crisp gobo projection

on surfaces as well as mid-air.

Combined with the new Animotion

FX system that allows what the

company claims are never-before-

seen beam animations, Martin

believes that it off ers the fi rst real

700/800W discharge replacement

based on the latest LED technology.

“A successful Martin product is

a result of this tight cooperation

between departments combined

with valuable input from the fi eld

and from our customers, and the

MAC Quantum Profi le serves as

a great example,” said Markus

Klüsener, product manager for

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

simultaneously send messages

recorded by the microphone

connected to the front XLR input.

Equipson claims the SPS 8 is the

fi rst 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 diff erent meeting rooms

or offi ces might have background

music and paging service with one

SPS 8, six BLR 2 A and one PoE

switch, without requiring additional

amplifi ers 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.

projector to 50,000.

Within the Retail section,

key products include the 55in

transflective IPS videowall panel

with a 3.5mm bezel. It uses LG’s

transflective technology, which

embraces natural sunlight,

reflecting its light out through the

LCD panel, to enhance the native

brightness of the backlight LEDs

and reduce power consumption.

LG’s transparent LED display

features a 55in panel recessed

FIDA

The evolution of digital signage

from a ‘nice to have’ to a ‘must-

have’ to deliver value to the

business is at the core of Fida’s

ISE 2015 presence.

Visitors to the Italian

company’s stand will see a mix of

products and services including

the Sidewalk Poster, pitched

as a natural digital evolution of

the traditional A-line stand. The

new poster is described as a

more dynamic off ering than its

predecessor, with USB plug and

play options.

Also on show are the Super

Slim 70in Kiosk, measuring

in at 5cm thick and off ering

high brightness and Full HD

functionality. A 55in, 2,500cd

full-outdoor kiosk is also on

show, now available with or

without A/C.

Fida is also showcasing crafted

enclosures for standard monitors

and a 4cm thick Mediachrome

digital poster, described as a

HUMELAB

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 benefi t 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.

to visitors throughout the

Amsterdam RAI exhibit halls.

The Omnitapps Composer

Multi-Touch Pack, also on

show in Hall 8, is a multi-user

software family for the creation

and deployment of interactive

touchscreen experiences in public

spaces. It enables organisations

to display product photos, videos,

brochures and websites within a

multi-touch environment.

At this year’s show, the latest

version of the Omnitapps product

selector will be introduced to

enable customers to place

products in the spotlight. A

preview of the Enterprise

add-on of the Multi-Touch Suite

to enable remote monitoring

rather

than standalone displays

playing back video trailers.

People are nowadays used

to communicating – and even

In your opinion, what is the best

thing about the ISE show?

The best thing about ISE is that

it brings everyone together from

almost every corner of the world,

from any vertical market, and

new markets. There is not one

show which has the sheer size

or positive energy and it gives us

the ideal opportunity to show the

Crestron diff erence.

What do you think are the key

developments in, or threats to,

your market sector?

There are so many developments

taking place and the big

opportunity which we have

always had sights on is the

IT sector. With some big

players fi nally recognising

that our industry off ers new

opportunities, we are grabbing

their attention. The obvious

threat is that the market is

becoming saturated with

suppliers and manufacturers

who claim they can off er

the same quality products

and services.

Why should attendees visit your

stand at ISE 2015?

We have some very signifi cant

enhancements to the DigitalMedia

range, and many new other

technologies. Our stand at ISE

gives anyone the chance to talk

about the technology with the

technology manager of that

product group. This gives fi rst-

hand insights to how it was

“Step into my offi ce,” 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

confl icts, unspoken and yet

very much elicited out loud, in

the modern offi ce. 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 offi ce.

Not an open-plan, transparent

workplace.

Intelligence and opportunityThe 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

benefi t 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 benefi t those eager

to climb the corporate ladder

to new levels of AV design

expertise. Relevant sessions

today include ‘Needs Analysis of

End-User Requirements’, off ered

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.

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 fi ve 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 confl uence with ISE

attendees’ edifi cation in

sessions off the tradeshow

fl oor, 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 offi ce 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 electro-

acoustic enhancement systems

to help tame even a completely

open offi ce acoustic. Dream

big, bigger than the displays

that will catch your eye, and

plan lots of sales meetings where

clients will be startled to fi nd that

TC GROUP

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 amplifi er power

of 260W.

A rugged highly

compact birch plywood

enclosure, available in

textured black and white

paint fi nish, has been

ergonomically designed

to off er a greater degree

of fl exibility. The new

cabinet design includes

40° and 60° angles,

making the VX 8M ideal for use as

a dedicated fl oor monitor, with the

8in driver providing high-clarity

vocal monitoring. The enclosure

off ers a pole mount and vertical

yoke as standard options.

Audio connection is via a

recessed termination panel with

two SpeakOn connectors, off ering

a cleaner and more durable

solution, which Tannoy suggests

would suit a busy rental company

or fl exible 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

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 fi xing plate is included, and

maximum cable length is 2.5m.

ADAM HALL

With 1600W RMS of system

power, 40Hz to 20kHz frequency

response and 129dB peak SPL,

the MAUI 44 is hard to miss at ISE

The new flagship of the LD

Systems active column PA

product line sports a powerful

band-pass subwoofer with two

12in neodymium drivers as its

foundation. The column elements,

with a total of 16 3.5in speakers

and two 1in tweeters from

Celestion in precisely matched

waveguides, are attached without

any cables.

Specially developed connectors

and guide pins ensure accurate

and safe installation of the

Maui 44, while the aluminium

housing with integrated cooling

fins protects the speakers from

overheating.

LD Systems, an Adam Hall

brand, explains the overall

performance of 1600W RMS is

achieved by two Hypex UCD400

modules and four 200W class D

power amps, which are

integrated in the subwoofer

and separately control the five

paths of the column.

The LECC digital signal

processor, exclusive to LD

Systems, results in natural,

distortion-free reproduction

even at high volume levels,

says the company.

Thanks to its special resistance

to feedback and the 120° wide

horizontal dispersion, the MAUI 44

is both a PA and monitor system.

To double the bass

performance, an optional

subwoofer, MAUI 44 SE, can be

integrated into the system in a

matter of seconds. The active

extension can be operated as a

slave with the system settings or

used as a standalone.

Weighing just under 60kg,

the compact column system

is well suited for

mobile applications

as well as for a stylish

installation, says the

company. Carrying

cases and a castor

board, which can be

secured with butterfly

latches onto the

subwoofer of the MAUI

44, are available to

help transportation.

A new industrial market

segment has been announced

by the AVnu Alliance, the

industry consortium driving

open standards-based

deterministic networking

through certifi cation. Standard

Ethernet continues to expand

its range, functionality and

applications with the evolution

of the Audio Video Bridging

(AVB) standard into Time

Sensitive Networking (TSN).

AVnu says that the new

capabilities of TSN provide the

industrial community with the

ability to use standard Ethernet

to support highly reliable

and precise synchronised

networking appropriate for

industrial control.

With this expansion into

the industrial control market,

the Alliance has announced

three new members: Belden,

General Electric, and National

Instruments. The industrial

segment is also supported by

existing AVnu Alliance members

such as Broadcom, Cisco, Intel,

Interval Zero, Marvell, Micrel,

Vitesse, Xilinx and XMOS.

The Alliance has previously

announced support for TSN in

automotive applications such as

drive-by-wire and autonomous

driving. The industrial market,

which parallels work that

AVnu Alliance members have

been doing in the automotive

segment, is a $150 billion a year

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

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.

BEALE STREET AUDIO

Sonic Vortex from Beale Street

Audio is described as a twist on

a traditional ported enclosed

design, and has some roots in

transmission line technology.

It is built into the integrated

back box of the speakers, and is

claimed to deliver signifi cantly

more bass. This is achieved due

to the main port of the enclosure

being broken down into multiple

sections called ‘fi ns’ that are

tuned to spec. The fi ns compress

and move air at a high rate of

speed without port noise and

also add to cabinet rigidity.

They deliver a fl atter frequency

response, a 6 to 9dB boost in

the mid-lower bass ranges

compared to sealed models.

BANG & OLUFSEN

The BeoVision Avant TV is one of

the products being showcased in

a purpose-built experience theatre

at ISE 2015 which aims to portray

a smart home of the future, albeit

one that’s available today.

The Avant TV is a 4K model

that sports motorised stands

which allow the TV to unfold in

a choreographed manner, while

saved user presets move it into

a favourite position, enabling the

set to ‘follow’ the user around

the room. The 85in version of

BeoVision Avant features a

direct type LED with 2D local

backlight dimming, eight

integrated driver units and a

surround sound module.

A new announcement at the

show is based around direct IP

control of any Bang & Olufsen TV,

in conjunction with the biggest

players in the market.

The theatre at ISE 2015 is

showcasing BeoLink Gateway,

designed to connect and control

the entire home ecosystem

including sensors, dimmers,

cameras and so on. It also includes

key information about how to

integrate new and old Bang &

Olufsen AV products. There are also

demonstrations of the ‘ultimate’

Bang & Olufsen sound experience

inside a car.

Bang & Olufsen is also

demonstrating how the internet

of things ties into its vision of the

modern home, as well as exploring

BASALTE

The Eve family is being extended

with the addition of an on-wall

mounting frame for the Apple

iPod Touch.

Intended to work within a home

automation system, Eve touch

is made out of high-grade

aluminium in a design with a fi ne

border that complements Apple’s

portable device.

Eve frames already exist for the

iPad and iPad Air products, but for

rooms with applications such as

door phones, a music system control

or a lighting and temperature control

that only need a small screen, the

iPod touch is a handy replacement

for the larger iPad screen.

The frame is powered by a puck-

shaped USB charger that ensures

that the iPod remains charged and

is always ready for use. There is

thus no need to take it off to load the

battery and there are no unsightly

cables or connections.

The new frame is available in

a number of fi nishes, including

polished aluminium, brushed

anodised black, or aluminium and

satin white.

Basalte has also announced

that the iPad frame Eve Air is also

compatible with the iPad Air 2 and

Eve mini is now compatible with iPad

mini 1, 2 and 3 versions. A lockable

security version is also available for

the Eve frame.

IN-AKUSTIK

AmbienTrack cabling from in-

akustik is a new solution to the

dangers posed by power cords

and data lines running across

the room. It consists of attractive

strips of anodised aluminium

designed for the elegant housing

of cables and wires for private or

commercial use.

According to in-akustik, the

system allows fl exibility to

create electrical installations in

a room without opening up the

walls. Switches and sockets are

positioned fl exibly and reversibly

in the room and can be moved

anytime without fuss.

The range includes wall

and corner columns in various

lengths, a skirting board and a

skirting board channel, as well as

panels and accessories in many

diff erent versions. A TV cable

channel and TV wall bracket are

also part of the standard range.

The cable conduit systems are

available in two material fi nishes

and can be mounted in-plaster,

partly in-plaster or on-wall.

AmbienArt, an LED strip, can be

added to any AmbienTrack model

to create elegant lines of light or

as subtle lighting to show the way

when the main lights are out. The

system uses energy-effi cient and

long-lasting LED technology, and

can be installed in the track space

in one colour or several.

The AmbienArt light system

is controlled by a RGB controller,

which takes care of changing

the colour or dimming the light

components. The controller is

built in to the wall column

and can be easily operated by

remote control.

Another lighting element is the

AmbienArt LED cube, which has

an edge length of 30mm. Powered

by LED the cube can be rotated

360° and individually combined.

The cube is available in one colour

or in a colour-changing version.

Also available is the AmbienArt

pendant light, which consists of

LED cubes and is attached to thin

low-voltage cables.

FORTRESS INC

A home theatre is often special

and unique for each customer,

so fi nding the right seating

is imperative. One company

specialising in custom-designed

chairs is exhibitor Fortress.

The company cites as an

example a homeowner who

asked it to build a theatre chair

that would blend in with the other

furniture in his home. He wanted

to incorporate specifi c arm and

back design with side panels

incorporating antique nail heads.

The result evolved into the El

Dorado, which Fortress describes

as a beautiful viewing chair that’s

right at home in a dedicated

home theatre, media or

family room.

Concealed accessories in the

El Dorado include the retractable

touchscreen mount for launch

port, USB port inside the storage

compartment, goose neck

light, powered lumbar support,

massage with warming pad,

lighted cup holder and soft

touch switches.

Also on show at ISE 2015 is

the Madison, which Fortress says

is a long-time popular executive

model that has been redesigned

as a home theatre viewing chair.

One of the qualities that makes

the Madison such a popular

choice is its lumbar support,

the company says, as well

as its comfort. Accessories

that are concealed until the

user needs them include

the motorised head rest;

motorised lumbar support;

The Elora EVO on-wall speaker,

styled in glass and Porsche-grade

aluminium, is being launched at

ISE 2015 by Waterfall Audio.

The original Elora LCR, launched

in 2004, has been used extensively

as an elegant centre speaker in

the horizontal position. It also

serves within a high-performance

left and right speaker pair in

the vertical position for home

cinema solutions in 5.1 or 7.1

confi gurations, together with

the other speakers from the

Waterfall range.

At a suggested retail price

of €798 per speaker, the new

model remains at the same 8cm

thickness, but adds 65% more

technical innovation, claims the

French company. Sculptured

with a thick double sheet of

glass and with a design matched

to fl atscreen TVs, the stylish

aluminium components are

created in the same factory that

produces Porsche cars.

New machining techniques

have enable a 60% increase in

internal volume. The new bass/

mid-range driver from French

manufacturer Atohm has a 10%

surface increase and a 50%

increased cone excursion; a

magnet design brings higher

effi ciency and reduced distortion.

Waterfall says that as a result the

EVO off ers more bass than the

previous LCR model.

Elora EVO also features a new

crossover, a two and a half-way

design providing better directivity

and a better low-frequency

output. According to Waterfall,

with a modifi ed horn design, the

EVO speaker also provides a

better frequency response.

DPA MICROPHONES

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 confi guration by

employing the company’s adapter

range, which is already used for

other miniature microphones.

DPA’s Podium range also

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 off ers

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.

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

IDT/SiliconOptix, Gennum and

Genesis,” said Tim Brooksbank,

chairman at Calibre. “Video chip

focus is now fi rmly 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 effi cient, aff ordable, high-

performance solution with upfront

investment an order of magnitude

smaller by effi cient 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 effi cient, with

outstanding image quality. HQUltra

HQUlta video processing technology announced

This may be the fi rst 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 eff ect 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

coff ee machine needs refi lling,

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 – higher-

bandwidth video processing, for

example. There are countless

others – including, of course,

where intelligent connected

machines ‘converse’ and interact

to operate together more

eff ectively.

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 benefi t

signifi cantly. Here’s looking

forward to ISE 2020.

The EYE-14 off ers 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.

EYE in the skyATEÏS

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 multi-

room 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.

to LED-based DLP videowalls,

it is claimed to off er higher

brightness, high contrast ratio,

and full light source redundancy.

The laser-based videowalls

also have hot-swappable power

supplies that ensure high

transfer effi ciency and reduce

power consumption. There is

also an integrated optical

engine that is claimed to

off er “the crispest picture,

high quality, sharp focus and

image stability”.

AV STUMPFL

The Wings Engine media

server platform from AV

Stumpfl now has a new

hardware configuration and

powerful render engine,

enabling the system to

support a true 8K real-time

workflow and uncompressed

4k video playback. Multiple

simultaneous timelines and

live players can be combined

in live setups and interactive

attractions. According to the

company, full Art-Net support,

up to eight 3G-SDI or DVI live

inputs and frame-lock/gen-

lock capability make the Wings

Engine a cost effective all-in-

one solution for live shows and

installations.

AV Stumpfl notes that

customers buying a Wings

Engine will receive individual

product training at its

headquarters in Wallern

or at one of the company’s

partners. The training covers

the basics of programming

and efficient workflows, and

teaches attendees how to edit

their own projects and how

to realise those projects most

effectively.

Also on show on the

company’s ISE 2015 stand are

two completely new models

of solid-state video player

hardware for playback of

content with resolutions up

to UHD.

Multiple players can be

frame-synchronised via the

network and new content

can be delivered via the

internet. The players are fully

integrated in AV Stumpfl’s

Avio communication layer

for turnkey use in themed

attractions and networked

digital signage systems. A

customisable web interface

and numerous control options

are included.

Stand: 1-H6, 1-H3, 1-N1

ALKOR DRAKA

First-time ISE exhibitor Alkor Draka

has 60 years of experience in

developing materials for projection

screens, including front- and

rear-projection vinyl, as well as

laminates. Its films are designed

to meet very high technical

requirements, particularly in terms

of light diffusion, gain, picture

quality, surface finish and

printing, and are already used

for all types of screens, with

applications in cinema, events,

and meeting rooms.

Where minimum manufacturing

quantities are not prohibitive,

Screen vinyls join Premiere league it can work with clients to

develop a customised product

specifically tailored to their needs,

but, to minimise the impact of

manufacturing quantities, it also

offers its Premiere range of

popular screen vinyls,

in roll form.

Apart from the usual high level

of standards and controls that are

applied to all high-quality European

manufactured vinyls, it has also

developed additional controls for

its screen materials, such as those

for Fire Performance certification

or the influence of the surface,

emboss and colour, on gain.

NEWS

50 2015

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-to-

access 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 lecture-

capture 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,

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 on-

screen 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.

WYRESTORM

The NetworkHD-Pro system

for professional H.264 HD-

over-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 Multi-

View 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 NHD-

PRO-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 NHD-

PRO-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.

Particularly

in digital

signage,

cloud-based

architectures

have been

helpful in growing the install-

base dramatically. Deploying

a digital signage network

becomes a simple, easy 1-2-

3-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 cost-

optimisation.

Ronni Guggenheim Managing director, Navori LabsStand: 8-M210

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.

Sébastien Verlaine Marketing manager EMEA, EVSStand: 8-H110

We foresee

a shift in

video storage

for security

purposes

into cloud-

based 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.

VOX POPECLER

A new digital mixer for installation

audio, the DAM514, is being unveiled

by manufacturer Ecler.

Aimed at corporate, retail and

education AV applications, as well as

conferencing, PA, BGM and paging

solutions, the DAM514 features five

audio inputs, four audio outputs, DSP

processing, RS-232 connectivity and

four remote control ports.

The four balanced audio outputs

use Euroblock terminals and can

work in single mode (mono zone)

or be linked with another output

to become a stereo zone. The first

three inputs are stereo line inputs,

while the fourth and fifth are mic/

line ready, with it also being possible

to use them independently in

mono mode, or as a fourth stereo

input couple.

The DAM514 offers 24-bit

48kHz DSP processing. There is an

independent level control

for each input and output, as

well as independent mixer

inputs for each output zone and

three-band tone control for each

input. Crossover filters and an

independent 10-band graphic

EQ are available for each output.

Furthermore each mic/line

input features an independent

noise gate function and feedback

suppressor function and an

independent and adjustable

high-pass filter.

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.”

PEERLESS-AV EUROPE

The new Xtreme fully sealed

outdoor display is proving its

ability to function in occasionally

severe conditions at the RAI,

where a Triple Outdoor Menu

Board configuration is positioned

outside, at the Holland entrance

by Hall 11. The display is packed

with features to overcome outdoor

digital signage challenges.

Peerless-AV claims it is simple

to install, easy to operate, and

ideal for a wide range of outdoor

applications, from QSR drive

thru digital menus to corporate

messaging and advertising

for retail, entertainment and

transportation settings. The

fully sealed design goes far

beyond waterproof, with

Xtreme outdoor displays

earning an IP68 rating, the

highest in the industry. This

means it is able to withstand

pressurised washing from

any angle, and is the only

outdoor display that could

be completely submerged in

water beyond 1m depth for

eight hours and still continue

to operate reliably.

Its patented Ventless Dynamic

Thermal Transfer system

combines internal air circulation

with a thermal transfer heat

sink to maintain the optimal

operating temperature, giving it

the industry’s broadest operating

range of 60° to -40ºC. The display

has no vents, filters or exhaust

fans, so that there is complete

protection against the ingress of

dust, dirt or microscopic particles.

Its seamless design, with rounded

corners, is also effective at

preventing ice formation, as it

provides no opportunity for water

to collect, freeze and compromise

the panel’s outer body.

BLUE JEANS NETWORK

Blue Jeans Primetime, a

new online events service

that combines large-scale

broadcasting and video

collaboration, is claimed to be the

industry’s first fully interactive

video events service that allows

attendees to be seamlessly

switched between passive

observer and active participant

during a live event.

“The way online events and

broadcasts are done today, you

have a massive barrier separating

viewers and presenters, making

the thousands of people who

aren’t part of the conversation

essentially invisible,” said

Stu Aaron, CCO at Blue Jeans

Network. “When we met with

our customers, we saw so many

situations where executives,

educators, media companies,

and so many others wanted to

interact with their audiences in

an easy, organised and controlled

performance, improved server

search and connection speed to

increase communication quality,

and all this with lower battery

power consumption.

“Our customers tend to use

mobile devices in order to

increase co-operation in their

companies more often. Cross-

platformity, high communication

quality and mobile application

availability – those are the most

common features that clients

want to see in their

videoconferencing system

nowadays,” said Michael

OBLONG INDUSTRIES

Mezzanine, the conferencing

and collaboration system from

Oblong, is claimed to move

beyond telepresence to deliver

infopresence. This brings the

content and data from multiple

meeting participants into a multi-

surface, large-format, shared

digital workspace accessible

to those inside a Mezzanine

conference room, connected

from another Mezzanine room, or

working remotely from a variety

of devices including laptops,

tablets and smartphones.

The gesture-enabled and

spatially aware properties of

Mezzanine, which has its roots

in more than two decades

of research at the MIT Media

Lab, are claimed to provide an

immersive experience that “is

unmatched in the enterprise

marketplace”. It is already in use

at some global companies, like

IBM and NTT, but ISE 2015 marks

its European show debut.

“We are incredibly excited

to introduce Mezzanine to the

European audience. With our

European headquarters in

Barcelona and the brand new

Oblong Experience Centre in

London, it seems a natural

progression to take part in

ISE 2015. We have a number

of exciting projects already in

the pipeline across the EMEA

Region and can’t wait to build

on this great foundation,” said

Mike Brown, Oblong’s global VP

of sales.

“Mezzanine revolutionises

the business meeting. It enables

multiple participants to share

their image, voice, devices, and

data simultaneously. Meetings

can become so much more

productive. Collaboration is easy.

Your data and devices are active

participants in the meeting. For

example, you can create a real-

time sales pipeline status war-

room, sharing sales dashboard

applications and data face-to-

face and side-by-side with a

globally distributed sales force.”

PEXIP

Version 8 of Pexip’s Infinity

videoconferencing software

adds native Skype-to-anything

video interoperability, as well

as full universal web browser

support, and claims to offer

industry-first dual stream

RDP content sharing to

Microsoft Lync from standards-

based SIP, H.323 or WebRTC

videoconferencing systems.

Pexip’s implementation

of Skype enables users to

videoconference in HD and

features industry-grade

encryption for signalling and

media, and coincides with

Microsoft’s announcement that

Skype users can call Lync users

on video.

There is also native HD

videoconferencing access

for the Microsoft Internet

Explorer and Apple Safari

non-WebRTC web browsers.

Infinity 8 also promises to

simplify users’ engagement

in unified communications

and collaboration regardless

of device, technology, or

Infinity adds Skype function

videoconferencing endpoint.

The upgrades ensure “that

our customers can access

anyone, anytime, on any

client, system, or device”,

said Simen Teigre, Pexip CEO

and co-founder.

“The result is the ability

to take part in virtual

meetings without leaving

the comfort of Skype, Lync,

or any other conferencing

environment that’s already

familiar to the user. And best

of all, as Infinity is 100%

software, this functionality is

immediately available to all

of our customers, extending

their reach to more than

300 million users already

on Skype.”

A claimed industry first

is that Infinity 8 allows

mixed-standards meeting

participants using Lync to

see shared content and the

presenter at the same time.

Pexip Infinity 8 runs

as one or more virtual

machines in a user’s

data centre, in a public or

private cloud, or as a hybrid

deployment, as a distributed,

scalable meeting platform.

VIDEXIO

The new My Meeting App

for iOS and Android extends

Videxio’s cloud video service to

mobile devices, enabling it to

make videoconferencing widely

accessible independent of location

or device.

If users can’t participate in a

meeting over video, they can join

over audio with a single click,

while still remaining in control

of their conference, including

scheduling and inviting people into

their meeting.

“Videxio is committed to

providing the best and most

fl exible videoconferencing cloud

video service in the market,” said

Videxio CEO Tom-Erik Lia. “We

realise, however, that it’s not

always possible to be in a location

conducive to videoconferencing.

We wanted to ensure that when

our users were on the go and

incapable of participating in a

meeting over video that they could

simply and eff ectively join their

meetings over audio and also be in

control of their experience through

their smartphone”.

“Videxio’s Conferencing Apps,

together with the MyVidexio

portal, are game changers in

terms of how easy they make it

to participate in business quality

conferences,” added Michael

Stanton-Jones, product manager

for converged communications at

Vodafone.

“The ability to join and organise

collaboration sessions both in

and outside the enterprise via

the My Meeting App will enable

companies to maintain a tight

relationship with employees,

customers and partners,

improving engagement and

creating fl exible working

conditions”.

SmartBuilding

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, AMXStand: 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, CrestronStand: 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.

F&F FILIPOWSKI

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.

WTECH

A mobile app called WOICE,

requiring no extra hardware and

enabling users to use their voice

to control building automation,

is making its ISE debut on the

Wtech stand.

Wtech develops software and

solutions to control any building

in a simple and user friendly

way. No computer programming

is needed, everything is easily

configurable by simply telling

the system what is wired to the

input/output devices, and where.

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,

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.

HDL

ISE 2015 exhibitor HDL

has developed a range of

automation products designed

especially for a marine

environment.

With the all-new HDL

marine systems, the comfort,

convenience and security of a

building can be transferred to

any vessel regardless of size.

Using innovative software and

hardware, says the company, a

user can monitor the heading,

waypoints, battery status,

engine status, fuel status and

water status, using one device.

In addition, the control

of HVAC, lighting, winches,

windlasses, background

music, bilge pumps and a

host of other features give a

user convenience and added

security.

All this means that at-sea

users don’t need to venture on

deck to weigh anchor, check that

their running lights are active

or that the hatches are battened

down. Even when a user goes

ashore, GSM communication

can alert them if a security

device is triggered, or if any of

the ship’s systems are active.

This notification is immediate

and allows a user to respond in

a timely manner.

All monitoring and control

is enabled via an app that can

be installed on both iOS and

Android systems. This reduces

power consumption, as there

is no need to power an extra

display.

In the high-tech, fast-paced

environment of ISE 2015, it’s worth

taking some time out to consider

just how much of a diff erence 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 diff erent installers have

donated their time and almost

70 diff erent manufacturers

and distributors have donated

product. Working with various

industry friends such as CEDIA,

Wildwood PR, AWE and Pulse

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 fi rst

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 off ering

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 fi rst

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 confi dent they could

gather products pretty swiftly.

“As it turned out this was

certainly the case,” says Morrish.

“Brands such as Crestron,

Datafl ow, 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 eff orts, and

the generosity of all concerned

will make a diff erence 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.”

we have a really

strong line-up of new

products to off er the

integrator, with all

the benefi ts of our

Delta manufacturing

heritage combined

with the innovation

and quality for which

Vivitek is renowned.

I’m particularly excited about the

DU9000 which is the new fl agship

model in our large-venue range.

I think visitors are going to be

blown away by its performance

and versatility.”

The new model also off ers

built-in edge blending and dual

lamp technology.

What sets the model apart,

according to Vivitek, is its

combination of high brightness

and image quality. Vivitek says it

has designed the product without

compromise in video processing,

scaling and materials used to

build the projector. HDBaseT

support allows for digital image

and control signals to be sent

ANTRICA

A recurring topic at ISE, and one

that has become more popular

over the years, is ‘convergence’.

Living proof of convergence

in action can be found on the

stand of exhibitor Antrica, where

the company is showcasing an

encoder/decoder which it expects

will also appeal to the world’s

armed forces – in unmanned

aerial vehicles, for example –

who are becoming increasingly

video-centric, such is the nature

of modern military intelligence

gathering.

The product in question is the

ANT-1771, and it is the first in a line

designed to encode and decode HD

video. 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.

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. Our new 4K/

UltraHD 2K/HD CION production

camera even supports a video

stream directly from the camera

across LAN for real time checks

anywhere in the world; all an

end user needs to do is dial up

the IP address of the camera

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 high-

quality, 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 off ered for

installed audio applications.

Lee Ellison CEO, Audinate Stand: 7-W190

Shifting

network

management

and

confi guration

to the cloud

is changing the way integrators

do business. Equipment can

be installed on site, and later

confi gured remotely. This de-

coupling of formerly onsite

tasks simplifi es hiring and

project staffi ng as you no longer

need someone who can install

and confi gure. A distinction

can now be drawn between the

less expensive and knowledge-

intensive installer skillset

needed on site from the more

specialised network/IT skillset

working off site. In addition to

changing the project economics,

this removes staffi ng as a

barrier to the dealer’s ability

to scale up to take on new

business.

STEALTH ACOUSTICS AND AUDIOCONTROL

Stealth CoverArt is being

presented for the fi rst time to

the European custom installation

sector at ISE 2015.

Stealth CoverArt automatically

hides nearly any TV screen with a

framed photograph or work of art,

off ering installers a discreet and

stylish way of hiding obtrusive

screens when not in use to

complement any interior décor.

The system is a bespoke

off ering, custom made for almost

every size and type of screen up

to 120in wide, says the company.

The image is printed on design-

quality canvas surrounded by

a choice of low-profi le wood

moulding in over a dozen frame

styles and colours. It can be

customised with any high-quality

photograph, or with a choice from

numerous images in the Stealth

CoverArt online gallery.

When the display is turned on,

the Stealth CoverArt canvas is

triggered to rise automatically

and reveal the total display screen

without any obstruction. When the

display is turned off , the canvas

automatically and silently lowers

to conceal the screen.

The main structure of the

Stealth CoverArt frame is built

from aluminium, so the entire

assembly is very light for its

size. The frame is custom made

slightly larger than the outside

dimensions of the display and is

designed to quickly fi t over and

attach to the bezel of virtually any

fl atscreen display.

Each Stealth CoverArt unit

includes a printed image on

graphic arts grade canvas,

decorative wood moulding, motor

and fi tting hardware and a remote

control.

ROLAND

The M-5000, a live sound digital

mixing console on a fl exible 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 Confi gurable Architecture.

This combination adapts to the

needs both of the application and

the operator by delivering 128

freely defi nable audio paths, a

fl exible 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 defi ned

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 confi guration.

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 confi gurations 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.

Workfl ow 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.

OPTOWELL

Korean fi rst-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 fi bre 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 off ers high-

speed transmission using a single,

small LC type multi-mode fi bre.

The Optical HDMI Module provides

high-speed transmission via a

single LC type multi-mode fi bre 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 fl atpanels display the

optical signal.

Three new subwoofers from

Elac that can be paired with a

free app running on an iOS or

Android device will off er users

much simpler control and the

ability to easily optimise the

speakers for any room.

This will mean no more fi ddly

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 fi lter, 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 refl ections 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 amplifi er; 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 confi guration,

with two 12in membranes. All

three can be connected directly

using loudspeaker cables (left,

Master Class with Robert Simpson: Displays of Today and Tomorrow Speaker: Robert Simpson, Founder Director, Electrosonic

The session is divided into four sections. The fi rst 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 fl atpanel displays. Mention is made of many fl atpanel 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 high-power 4K. The hot topic at the moment is ‘laser’, so an evaluation of illumination technologies forms a signifi cant part of this section.

The fi nal 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.

VANTAGE

Specialising in integrated control

systems for luxury spaces, Vantage

has recently released Equinox 41,

Design Center 3.3 and Equinox 1.2

(fi rmware).

According to the company,

the Equinox family of products

simplifi es the complex, providing

a personalised interface that,

when linked to its InFusion system,

delivers the means to effi ciently

create fl exible, customised spaces

with a subtle aesthetic. Vantage says

that it also provides the integrator

with a very effi cient and consistent

means of confi guring these devices.

With its continuous glass LCD

touchscreen, the Equinox 41,

featuring a 4.3in screen displaying

one full widget,

employs presence

detection and

light sensors to

automatically

wake-up to a desired

scenario and adjust

to ambient light

conditions. With 12

pre-programmed

widgets – for lighting,

scenes, weather, climate, multi-

zone audio, multi-zone video, home

theatre, cameras, security and pool/

spa and two new widgets for shades

and timers – it is said to be simple to

navigate with the swipe or tap of a

fi nger. In addition, two tactile buttons

are available; one for home page

navigation and the other for custom

programming by a certifi ed Vantage

integrator.

Version 3.3 of Design Center

(DC), Vantage’s integrator

programming tool, enables widgets

to be automatically populated

with information from the DC

fi le, simplifying dealer interface

programming and providing users

with a consistent view of system

functions.

The size of the corporate and

education projector market in

EMEA is expected to reach €4,400

million in the next fi ve years

with 50% of the sales coming

from the replacement of existing

installations.

DLP has a long history of

projection innovations starting

with the fi rst 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 fi t

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

compartment allowing users to

connect a variety of dongles and

stream content wirelessly.

As a result we are looking to

achieve signifi cant growth in the

coming year and aiming to

disrupt the replacement market

with our new range of DLP

projectors which have been

designed specifi cally to

target the replacement of

traditional LCD projectors.

In addition, the company’s new

LS product line, a pair of full-

featured devices for commercial

audio and price-sensitive digital

signage applications, is making

its ISE debut. The players are

aimed at customers who require

an aff ordable solution but who

would prefer a purpose-built sign

player over the consumer devices

sometimes chosen in price-

sensitive installations.

BrightSign’s portfolio of digital

signage media players now

consists of 10 players across four

product lines. To help customers

quickly determine the most

appropriate player for their

particular application, BrightSign

off ers a free web-based Product

Selector Tool.

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 defi ned period of

time.

The TT-GEN-4K will be shipping

in Q2 of 2015.

DRAPER

The TecVision Engineered Screen

Technology on show at ISE 2015 has,

says its developer Draper, now been

certifi ed by the Imaging Science

Foundation (ISF) for excellent colour

reproduction and fi delity.

To be certifi ed by the ISF, a screen

has to have a fl at spectral response

– or colour fi delity. In other words,

the screen cannot aff ect 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 fi delity.”

“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 fi delity.

“Finding the colour fi delity 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 specifi cations that these screens

were high gain, but I wasn’t seeing

the penalty of colour shift.”

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.

LIGHTWARE

Opening a new door for

professional AV design, says

Lightware, is the company’s UMX-

TPS transmitter family with the

recently released Event Manager

tool, implemented in the Lightware

Device Controller software.

The Event Manager was

developed to handle tasks from the

most simple, such as displaying

internal events on GPIO ports

and controlling the extender by

GPIO inputs instead of front panel

pushbuttons, to more advanced

tasks such as controlling the

projection screen, air conditioning

system or lights if any conditions

change on the media ports, if a

source is connected or removed,

for example. Event Manager is said

to make the UMX-TPS extender

family an expert solution in a wider

range of applications.

Lightware’s new UMX-TPS

product family includes HDBaseT

extenders, wall and fl oor plates.

These devices transmit multiple

video formats at a resolution up to

4K, plus audio and control, up to

a 170m distance over a single Cat

cable. Designed for ever-changing

environments such as small board

rooms and classrooms, the wide

range of features and supported

formats is said to ensure fl exibility,

enabling seamless use in many

applications.

It supports digital and analogue

video and audio including VGA,

YPbPr, HDMI 1.4 and DP 1.1 with

analogue stereo or embedded 7.1

HBR audio. All UMX-TPS products

are HDCP-compliant and provide

factory, custom and transparent

EDID emulation. Advanced

EDID Management forces the

required resolution from any

video source and fi xes the output

format to conform to the system

requirements.

The unit off ers bidirectional

and transparent IR, RS-232 and

Ethernet transmission with the

benefi t of command injection,

allowing it to send any IR or RS-

232 control command directly

from the LAN connection. Remote

and local powering is also

licence-free wireless system is

claimed to off er uncompressed

audio transmission, superior RF

performance and 128-bit AES

standard encryption.

The AKG DMSTetrad digital

wireless microphone system features

an integrated 4-channel mixer, and

an antenna front mount kit. With 24-

bit, 48kHz audio coding, it provides

uncompressed studio-quality

transmission and a linear frequency

response. The DMSTetrad’s 128-bit

AES standard encryption prevents

tapping of the audio signal, which AKG

says makes it a perfect companion

for high-security conferences.

The entire DMSTetrad system

features the DSRTetrad Digital

Stationary Receiver, the DPTTetrad

Digital Pocket Transmitter and

the DHTTetrad Digital Handheld

Transmitter, available with AKG’s D5

acoustics or as DHTTetrad P5 with

standard dynamic capsule. Two sets

are available: the DMSTetrad Vocal

Set including the DHTTetrad P5,

and the DMSTetrad Performer Set

including the DPTTetrad together with

a C111 L earhook microphone and

the MKG L instrument cable.

The DMSTetrad can, says AKG,

be quickly assembled and ready to

use. The DSRTetrad receiver can

work with up to four channels of

audio in parallel which can be mixed

down directly to its balanced XLR

sum output. The dynamic frequency

selection (DFS) ensures that only

the cleanest frequency bands

are selected for the connection

between receivers and transmitters

automatically.

SOMMER CABLE

The Cardinal DVM 194 series has

been launched – a cost-conscious

modular range of devices to

enable automated standby

activation for conference and

training room systems.

The Cardinal DVM 194 series

can be used both as a fully

closed system and as an open

solution with free interfaces.

The devices are intelligent and

will recognise each other within

the network. All devices can

be fully assimilated into the IP

environment, have a LAN link

out for structured wiring – a

built-in 2-port 100 Base-T switch

– and are based on the same

controller platform.

The use of variable instruction

sets ensures full compatibility

with most common devices on the

market, says the company, as well

as with large media controllers,

building technology BUS systems,

displays and beamers.

Set-up can be quickly achieved

without programming skills through

the integrated web interface.

Functions across multiple

rooms or even buildings are

very easy to programme, says

the company. Sommer Cable

suggests a typical scenario where

the system could put all displays

and projectors in an entire

building into stand-by mode.

A pre-programmed plug and

play solution is also available.

Maintenance and surveillance can

be remotely controlled via this IP

interface, which also facilitates a

fast and effi cient troubleshooting

process.

The devices are mechanically

fully compatible with DIN 41494

and can therefore be integrated

into the company’s SYSBOXX

housing system. A 2RU frame will

accept up to four devices with an

installation depth of 140mm.

The voltage supply for the

entire Cardinal DVM 194 family

can be established using 24V

system power supplies, and

can also be mounted into the

SYSBOXX frame.

APART AUDIO

Two years ago, when the company

celebrated its 20th anniversary,

Apart Audio launched the VINCI

series which consisted of an

integrated amplifi er (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 amplifi er

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 refl ex

speaker design with an 8in long

throw woofer. The cabinet is made

of MDF with a high gloss paint fi nish,

and features a magnetic removable

grille and the option of either

rubber feet or spikes for optimum

installation and sound quality.

VINCI loudspeaker range expands againPOWERSOFT

The X Series amplifi er is making

its ISE debut, consisting of two

models suitable for both fi xed

installations and concert touring.

The X8 off ers 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

diff erent selectable input sources

per channel.

Powersoft says the power

supply is now suitable for single-

phase, 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

of the unit to work in delta

connection on three-phase-

systems. 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

effi ciently as possible.

Claudio Lastrucci, R&D director

for Powersoft, said: “Our sights

have been fi xed fi rmly on the

future during the design of the

X Series. We looked at what we

believe amplifi ers 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

specifi cally developed for

local monitoring.

Support for100Mbps and

Gigabit Ethernet makes the X

Series easy to integrate into any

existing infrastructure.

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 fi bre optic cable.

This long-range solution is said

to be eff ective up to 2,000m in

distance. RS-232 off ers 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 fl exibility.

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 refi ne

system performance, and include

options for advanced EDID

management, audio, FST modes

and routing options.

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 diff erent models and

confi gurations.

“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 diff erent

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 diff erent

devices. Processor operation

can be carried out via any of

the fi ve 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.

CLEAR-COM

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

confi guration software for the

Eclipse HX digital matrix intercom

systems enables standard IP-

connected V-Series panels to

operate both as fully functional

intercom keypanels and as multi-

channel 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-eff ective.
