NEW Dante AoIP Commentator Units

The new Dante® commentary units will be centre stage at NAB in April, off the back of successful outings at the IBC and AES-NY shows last year. The AVN-CU2 (2 commentators) and the AVN-CU4 (up to 4 commentators) use Dante® AoIP together with 4 wire connections to perfectly bridge the gap between old and new technology. Intuitive, flexible and configurable for virtually any situation, these compact portable units will give you the ease of AoIP connectivity and functionality together with legacy connections that might be needed for existing infrastructure.

Production is underway and Sonifex anticipates shipping will begin following NAB.

TieLink Traversal Server to be revealed at NAB

Tieline has announced it will reveal the new TieLink Traversal Server at NAB2019, which is designed to facilitate simple codec discovery, NAT traversal, and connections throughout your entire network.

“The TieLink Traversal Server ensures you will no longer need to worry about complex IP network configuration with Tieline codecs,” said Jake Daniluck, Tieline Sales Americas. “Whether you are running a large network with hundreds of IP codecs, or a small station with just a few, TieLink makes connecting over IP a simple, no-fuss task for non-technical broadcast personnel.”

The TieLink Traversal Server is a secure, independently hosted global server network, with multiple global backups. It centralises Tieline codec contact list management and provides self-discovery of codecs within customised ‘call-groups’. Users can easily view the online or offline status of all codecs in a group and whether it is connected or disconnected. It also provides NAT traversal to simplify connections.

Orban’s “Best of Show” Flagship Processor

 

Orban will have their full suite of processors available for demonstration on booth #N4120 at NAB this year. If you haven’t heard the OPTIMOD-FM 8700i processor in action you will no doubt be impressed. In the Australian market techs are talking about the contemporary punch this processor lends to golden oldies and the convenience of onboard RDS. The key features worth exploring include:

• Xponential Loudness™ brings hyper-compressed music back to life, revealing detail and increasing impact while reducing listening fatigue and distortion.

• Built-in streaming server allows you to monitor the 8700i-processed FM and HD audio wherever there is a LAN or Internet connection using free OPUS and MP3 codecs.

• Exclusive “Multipath Mitigator” phase corrector reduces multipath distortion without compromising stereo separation.
• Subharmonic synthesizer adds modern-sounding bass punch to older recordings.
