HALL 8 Aeta Audio Systems (Stand 8.F83) is exhibiting the new Scoop6 double IP mono codec. Following in the footsteps of the Scoop5s rack-mount audio codec, the new unit is more compact and allows users to combine many codecs into one 19-in. rack unit. Just like we've upgraded Scoopy+S into Scoopy Flex, we have modernised Scoop5s with Scoop6. Our job is to offer top-quality technology that lets users benefit from the most advanced features and versatility on the market, may it be in remote connections or in the studio, said Aeta Audio Systems GM Yann Vonarburg.
Aeta Audio Systems (Stand 8.F83) is taking commentary to the next level with its 5G-enabled product line. Said GM Yann Vonarburg, At Aeta, we've always been ahead in terms of mobile, and we're on the same track with 5G. All our latest products are 5G-enabled: just put a SIM card in and you're good to go. We've got our fourth-generation ScoopyFlex here on the stand. It's built to be flexible and can take two mics, so it's good for small sports events where you only have two commentators; for bigger events, you just put it into its docking station, and you have the capability to do four commentators.
Calrec Audio (Stand 8.B57) is unveiling a brand-new audio-mixing system designed to keep pace with the changes broadcasters are experiencing in production workflows. Designed to adapt to changing production needs, Calrec Argo is a new approach to audio mixing, with a flexible control philosophy that breaks the traditional geographic tie lines between processing and control, according to the company. Calrec VP, sales, Dave Letson said, As broadcast infrastructures migrate to new environments, broadcast consoles need to work in different ways to ensure that they remain a safe investment. On Argo, Calrec's Assist GUI is central to the operation of the console and is directly transferable onto a browser to provide portability, backup, and on-the-fly configuration in remote locations.
Content Blockchain pioneer Eluvio (Stand 8.M54) showcasing the Eluvio Content Blockchain, a complete and open decentralized utility network for Web3 media. Examples of companies and creators whose content blockchain initiatives have been powered by Eluvio include Fox, MGM Studios, Microsoft, Sony Pictures, WWE, The Masked Singer, Dolly Parton, Black Eyed Peas, Rita Ora, and independent filmmakers. Just ahead of IBC, Eluvio was selected as the platform behind the Web3 film experience for the upcoming film The Real Cannonball Run, which will tell the true story of the legendary coast-to-coast automotive protest race across America.
Eluvio also held a supersession symposium on Web3 Media attended by 76 people with use cases for decentralized content distribution (50x more efficient than today's CDNs and Web3 native) including live, on demand and interactive content. Uses covered supply chain transformation, token-gated content, interactive live events with Web3 offers, and personalized media NFTs including the WWE Moonsault Dynamic Video Collectibles experience. The full event agenda is here: https://live.eluv.io/community. Executives from MGM Studios, Microsoft/Contend, The RealCannonballRun, and Cirkay/UMG presented on how they are using the Content Blockchain with benefits in scale, efficiency, and new engagement / monetization capabilities. Moonsault was recognized by TV Technology as a Best of Show product.

Noting what it feels like to be back at IBC, Lawo CMO Andreas Hilmer said, This show is about meeting people, and it's so good to finally be able to that that again in immersive 3D! We've been completely blasted on the stand since the show opened; it's going brilliantly.
