DESCRIPTION
Official newspaper of Integrated Systems Europe
Citation preview
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?

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

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

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.”

manager with London-based AV
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,
software—ten years ago it was paper
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
stage lighting.

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.

as media players to create self
contained units.
The company is working with
digital media agency Beaver Group
at ISE to present interactive menu
systems in the QSR Zone. Visitors
can connect mobile devices to
the 55in videowall displays to
change the content in real-time.
This is ideal for quickly updating
menus or offers, with a connection
to the PoS system for tangible
evaluation about the success
of promotions.
The new 105 and 98in screens
include cross-platform BYOD
capability (Windows, iOS and
Android). Designed for collaborative
spaces, they are an alternative to
projection, eliminating shadowing
and increasing lifespan from
the average 20,000 hours of a
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
into the door of a refrigeration unit.
This has two clear sheets of glass
surrounded by edge-lit LEDs and
allows an amalgamation of real
products and overlaid graphics.

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.

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

“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
technology might just be catching
up with their imagination.

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
high-performance subwoofer.

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
market space and creates a
pathway to the future of
the Internet of Things, the
Alliance says.

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.

on the fl y based on similar artists
or music styles, all
without disrupting
their current
listening enjoyment.
Michael de Nigris,
co-founder and CEO
of Autonomic, said:
“When compared
with off -the-shelf
audio solutions,
housed in cheap
plastic boxes and
capable of only
16-bit/44.1kHz
output quality,
the Mirage Audio
System provides
a durable, high-
quality metal-based
stereo component
that delivers true 24-bit/192kHz
fi delity. What the competition
off ers is a bit like a window AC
unit when what you really want
is central AC, optimised for your
home and lifestyle.”

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

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

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.

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

according to the company. Due to
the modularity of the two ranges,
the d:dicate capsules can easily be

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

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.

to strip away everything that
was unnecessary and to offer
the quality of simplicity. As a
result, anyone – even the less
experienced computer user –
can start using our touchscreen
straight away.”
Tango Teach has been designed
for use in education, allowing
a lesson to be put together in

WOLFVISION
The latest addition to Wolfvision’s
EYE range, the EYE-14, is described
as a powerful imaging solution
which builds on the success of
previous models. The EYE-14
can be mounted directly onto the
ceiling, or alternatively integrated
into a suspended ceiling. It is also
said to be easily mounted onto a
tripod, pan-tilt-zoom mount or wall
mount designed for video, room or
surveillance cameras.
The EYE-14 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.

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,

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.

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.

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

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
fashion, but were frustrated with
the one-way nature of traditional
streaming technology.”
Blue Jeans Primetime
augments the Blue Jeans cloud-
based video collaboration service
with new streaming capabilities to
broadcast events to a worldwide
audience, plus the ability for the
moderator to switch participant
roles between active and passive,
allowing speakers and audiences
to interact in new ways.
The service has been in trials
since September with more
than 20 customers, including
RedHat, Wikia and the Wharton
School of Business, and is being
taken up by TEDx to connect
organisers around the world and
for integration it into its official
knowledge sharing initiatives.
“With over 3,000 yearly events
spread across 165 countries, we
have TEDx organisers in every
corner of the globe. Online video is
the perfect way for us to connect,
and this tool’s interactivity is
making it possible for us to do this
in large groups like never before,”
said Alex Rudloff, chief digital
strategist for TEDx.
It will also be used by the
Sundance Film Festival to connect
audiences to filmmakers.

background improvements,
including improved sound quality
and echo cancellation, increased
group conference and video call
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

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.”

B-TECH
Exhibiting for the 11th successive
time at ISE, B-Tech Audio Video
Mounts is unveiling a number
of new products that have been
under development over the past
few months.
The BT8370 Freestanding
Video Wall Mount is described
by the company as the fi rst
of an exciting new generation
of products which features
B-Tech’s dynamic new mounting
system. Made from extruded
aluminium, this system is said
to be lightweight, incredibly
strong, have a high-end aesthetic
quality and be capable of being
assembled quickly and easily.
B-Tech expects it to appeal
in applications such as menu
boards, ceiling mounts, trolleys
and videoconferencing solutions.
It can be used in multiple
videowall confi gurations and is
designed to be easily expanded if
more screens are added to
the installation. The frame can
be used stationary or as a
mobile mounting system with
braked castors.
The new product includes
‘standard’ B-Tech features such
as 8-point tool-less adjustment,
integrated cable management
and a spacer system to simplify
installation even further.
Other solutions on display
from B-Tech’s range of videowall
mounts include the BT8310
pop-out videowall mount and
the freestanding BT8350, which
can now be used to assemble
videowalls in a curve. It can,
according to the company, be
confi gured to meet most screen
requirements and the curvature
gives an all-round better viewing
experience.
“This will be our 11th
consecutive year at the ISE and it
is a major part of our calendar,”
said B-Tech’s managing director,
Matt Bennett. “Due to their
important place in today’s AV
market, our main focus will be on

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Equinox simplifi es the complex
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.

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

AKG
The DMSTetrad digital wireless
microphone system is being
introduced at ISE 2015 by Harman’s
AKG. Said to be ideal for a variety of
applications ranging from concerts
and clubs, to conferences, the
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.
Stand: 1-F2, 1-F6
Digital wireless microphone system launched
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.

ISE 2015.
Also on display are SunBriteTV’s
corrosion-resistant mounting
brackets. All SunBriteTV models
are engineered to withstand severe
weather conditions including snow,
ice and freezing temperatures (-31°C)
as well as intense heat (50°C).
Robust exteriors prevent
damage from insects, dust, salt
corrosion and even barbecue
grease, while glare-resistant
screens allow for an optimised
viewing experience any time
of day.
AVpro Europe is SunBrite
TV’s new representation
agency, which will approach
distributors in the Netherlands,
Germany, Spain, Italy and the
UK before moving on to the
residential market.
“A SunBriteTV eff ectively
increases the size of any
living and entertaining space,
but a TV that plays in the rain is
diffi cult to explain,” said Stephen
Peereboom, independent brand
representative at AVpro Europe.
