VP-8IP
Processor for TV, web or live sound has six independent functions with IP interface for control anywhere in the WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network; has a library of algorithms to specifically address the special needs of streaming or live applications; audio is first pre-processed by a phase-linear, four-band AGC followed by an eight-band limiter equipped with special mode-specific final processing.
ATEME
Kyrion CM5000
High-performance encoder for contribution and distribution links is based on the company’s unique FPGA design, permitting complete software upgradability from SD to HD or 4:2:0 to 4:2:2; operational optimization through new features such as audio activity, VU-meters on the front-panel confidence monitor and a GUI provide users with the ability to easily monitor audio signal activity; also includes Gen5 firmware and Zixi technology integration.
Ross Video
OverDrive V14
Automated production control system features a completely redesigned Newsroom plug-in, making it faster and easier to build a newscast; included in the new release are several new third-party device interfaces and color-coded MOS items in OverDrive rundowns; users can code a show much faster with few key strokes; new file structure and dual-screen layout make it simpler to navigate through user-defined shots and templates to create complex programming with ease.
TC Electronic
UpCon
Combined upconversion and downmix processor in a single, high-density rack unit; continuously monitors the channel format of the incoming audio; if the signal falls back from true 5.1 to stereo, the unit seamlessly cross-fades into a convincing 5.1 surround upconversion without adding any interruptions or artifacts; comes with the ability to process one stream right out of the box, but users can also install one or two additional UpCon 3G expansion cards to increase the count of total streams per unit to two or three.
NewTek
TriCaster
Line of multi-camera production systems includes three new models; TriCaster 410 is a streamlined, compact system with a full 4 M/E production switcher, HD-SDI connectivity and tools for live-only delivery; TriCaster 460 is a compact system with a full 4 M/E production switcher with greater connectivity and broader creative flexibility for any small or medium-sized production; TriCaster 860 offers a full 8 M/E production switcher, as well as more channels, sources, I/O, graphics and effects, and greater capacity for media storage.
