Kahuna 360 New Totally Customizable Control Panels
With its exclusive FormatFusion3 technology that supports a mix of SD, HD, 1080p, and now 4K, Snells Kahuna 360 is the ultimate live production switcher providing unmatched creative power and flexibility.

ICE Channel-in-a-Box Three Versatile New Configurations Pack Even More Functionality into Less Space
Snell has added three new configurations to its industry-leading ICE channel-in-a-box solution. The core ICE product is now available as a standard 2-U system, requiring a third less space than the previous hardware platform with no sacrifice in functionality; in fact, the new box has twice the 2D or 3D graphics capability as was previously available. In addition, ICE is now shipping with Version 4.0 of the software, offering powerful new features such as Nielsen audience tracking capabilities, a Variplay feature option for speeding up noncritical material to compress time and make space for more essential playout, and integrated loudness control for compliance with international regulations. ICE LE is a new 1-U version of ICE that provides the advanced functionality of the Version 4.0 software in a smaller, more cost-effective footprint and with a streamlined feature set making it ideal for smaller operations or simple video server technology refresh projects. Also, in partnership with Quantum, Snell is introducing ICE SAN. ICE SAN provides large-scale shared content storage to give multiple ICE units instant access to media. ICE SAN is available in two versions: a high-performance enterprise model that offers premium levels of storage centralization and resilience, and a lower-cost option that provides high performance for smaller operations in which cost is a major factor.

KudosPro Platform Expanded Processing Functionality Via IQ Modules
At IBC2013, Snell will highlight a new hardware configuration for its KudosPro signal processing and conversion solution enabling users to extend the systems functionality by adding up to two single-width modules from Snells IQ Modular line. Choosing from a wide range of IQ modules, users can add extra audio processing capability, additional channels of format conversion, distribution amplification, signal monitoring, and many other functions, conveniently housed within the same chassis to save even more space, power, and cost while increasing processing capability. Extending KudosPro with IQ modules further enhances conversion workflows by providing outstanding conversion quality at an affordable price.
