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.
Amagi (Stand 5.C76) is showcasing the latest version of its flagship ad-insertion product. Highlights of the third generation Amagi THUNDERSTORM include increased render rates, availability on customer's cloud, increased revenue opportunities with non-linear ads, improved CPMs with contextual targeting, and higher reliability.
Amazon Web Services (Stand 5.C80) is hosting an all-day takeover of the Showcase Theatre in Hall 12 on Saturday, with presentations by AWS customers and partners on the transformative power of the cloud. At 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dave Duvall, CIO, Warner Bros. Discovery; Scott Young, SVP, Content and Production at Warner Bros. Discovery Sports, Europe; Marc Aldrich, GM, Media and Entertainment; and Julie Souza, Head of Sports, Professional Services, AWS, will discuss how Discovery Sports is transforming its broadcast and production workflow to tell more data-driven stories and boost audience engagement. In addition to the Showcase Theatre, AWS will demonstrate camera-to-consumer workflows powered by AWS and its partners at 5.C80.
Arri (Stand 12.F18) is offering attendees a chance to check out the latest developments in its ALEXA camera and lens lineup. New this week is the Orbiter Projection Optics 25 and 35 and RIA 1 Radio Interface Adapter. The RIA-1 is a versatile hub for different shooting setups and is the smallest camera-mounted controller Arri has offered. Supporting ARRI's swappable radio modules, it facilitates powerful wireless camera and lens control in any situation. Orbiter Projection Optics provides a state-of-the-art LED profiler suited to broadcast studios or live productions. According to Arri, it provides precision in every detail, allowing even projection of a light spot without color aberration. With the latest update of Orbiter's Lighting Operating System, LiOS2, the focus can be controlled locally via Orbiter's control panel or remotely by DMX/RDM or IP-based (ArtNet or sACN).
Cartoni Camera Supports (Stand 12.F31) is showcasing professional fluid heads - the Maxima, Master and Magnum - that make it the first camera-support company to introduce a full line of encoded and encode-ready professional fluid heads. With the ability to track position, they provide precise camera information for VFX, virtual production, and more. The e-Maxima, e-Master and e-Magnum encoded heads offer all the features of Cartoni's premium heads for digital cinematography. In addition, the E-series features extremely high-resolution direct-sensing encoders in both the pan and tilt axis. The encoders render absolute positioning without recalibrating at startup. We were pioneers when we made our first encoded-ready heads and are now pioneers in creating the new position-encoded E-series, said Elisabetta Cartoni, president and CEO, Cartoni Camera Supports.
Cyanview (Stand 10.D31b) is demonstrating its new Rio Live solution, a camera-mounted addition that facilitates shading and tally across a diverse range of D-Cinema cameras, camcorders, and mirrorless cameras in multi-camera live productions. The unit can be coordinated with an extensive range of cameras to facilitate remote control. The range of cameras supported and the flexible connection options available enable producers and creatives in both broadcast and pro-AV markets to deploy complex camera setups; this is fundamental when using large-sensor D-Cinema cameras with PL zoom lenses and 3D LUTs and ensures that a specific, consistent look - usually achieved in postproduction - can be secured across the cameras, even in live productions and while streaming.
Domo Broadcast Systems (Stand 10.D40) has announced the release of DBS IP-Mesh Backbone, the sought-after solution that lets broadcasters centralise control of their wireless devices on a single RF channel. With DBS IP-Mesh Backbone, the production team can monitor the performance and connectivity of their wireless assets from one central location - from any node in the network via any common web browser, said Stuart Brown, commercial director, Domo Broadcast Systems. Because less kit needs to be attached to cameras, it improves on rigging time, reduces the weight of camera units, and decreases the amount of kit that needs to be transported to broadcast-event locations.
