ibc16_IDS_headerWelcome to the latest edition of the Oracle where the countdown is on for this year’s IBC Show! In just over 2 weeks the RAI Exhibition Centre in Amsterdam will once again play host to more than 1600 Exhibitors, 55,000 visitors and 15 halls of the latest in broadcast and media technology. Among the lineup of exhibitors will be our leading suppliers Nautel, Orban, Davicom, Inovonics, Sonifex and Tieline with delegates from Kintronic Labs also attending. If you would like to organise a dedicated meeting with any of our supplier partners, please let me know. This year we’re excited to see the international launch of a new Sonifex PCIe half height sound card which was devised and engineered through the collaborative efforts of the Aussie and UK offices (more details a little later in this newsletter).
Safe travels to everyone making the long haul trip to Amsterdam and please make sure you visit us at stand 8.E61!

Tieline to debut new ViA codec

Tieline’s new ViA sets a new standard in wireless broadcasting and fundamentally changes the way you perform live remote outside broadcasts. It delivers the simplest and most intuitive codec user interface available today and going live is literally child’s play. Simply power up, tap “Connect” and go live! Tieline’s Charlie Gawley will demonstrate ViA and the latest in codec technology at IBC booth 8.E74.

BEWARE, the Windows 10 Anniversary Update can change some of your settings! One that caught our attention is the “fast startup” option under the power settings, which is enabled by default but which we recommend disabling. Even it was previously disabled, after applying the Anniversary Update it mysteriously becomes re-enabled. Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > System Settings

When enabled, this option causes the computer to effectively go into hibernation when shut down, so that on start-up it picks up where it left off rather than doing a complete restart. Problems occur if the hardware configuration changes while it’s asleep, so this is best avoided if that’s a possibility.
