Wohler Adds To Their i Vam Range
With The Launch Of The i Vam2-2
W

ohler Technologies, a
leading manufacturer of
video, audio and data monitoring
solutions, has added to their
successful i VAM range with
the release of the 2u i VAM22, 16 channel audio/video
monitor, available for immediate
shipment.
Building on the success of their
i VAM1-1 launched mid-2020, the new
i VAM2-2 can monitor and meter up to
16 channels of 3G-SDI audio and video,
plus 2 channels of analog audio in a
compact 2u format. With 64 presets
and utilizing dual touch screens,
operators may toggle between video,
meters,
loudness
measurement
and menus. A HDMI output allows
additional external monitoring of the
currently selected video source, while
analog XLR, headphone and selected
3G-SDI outputs are also included as
standard.
For added flexibility, upgrade options
are available on the rear panel for
monitoring AES3, MADI 64 (incl a fiber

option), SMPTE 2110, and SMPTE 20226. A rear panel option card slot offers
the user the choice of upgrading with
either an AoIP card which can accept
either Dante or Ravenna card options
(both offer SMPTE 2110-30 and hitless
SMPTE 2022-7) or an additional 8
channels of analog inputs and outputs.
The dual 4.3 " touch screen
front panel utilizes mature design
philosophies from previous iAM
Series products, while physical front
panel controls provide access to
main volume, balance, and auxiliary
controls to supplement touch controls.
Individual audio channels may be
summed, soloed or muted by touch
or mechanical control, in line with
functionality of previous iAM Series

units (iAM MIX, iAM AUDIO, iAM VIDEO,
iAM -12G-SDI).
A front mounted USB port is provided
for software updates to support new
and emerging technologies and a
network interface allows for remote
management, while APIs allow for easy
integration with 3rd party controllers the perfect solution for any application
that requires a unit for monitoring an
evolving range of professional signals.
" With the release of the i VAM22, we're responding to customer
requests and extending our reach
from 1u to 2u for those users who
would like or who need larger screens
and improved audio monitoring.
This highly configurable AV monitor
incorporates our latest technology

as well as options for monitoring the
latest signals including hitless SMPTE
2022-7, " says Kim Templeman-Holmes,
VP of Sales and Marketing.

ENEX Selects LiveU's Matrix for Dynamic
Live News Content Sharing
L

iveU Matrix, the company's
dynamic, IP-based content sharing
platform, has been chosen by ENEX the European News Exchange - to share
live news feeds with its members,
the world's leading association of
commercial TV news broadcasters. Its
members share their news content and
their news production resources.
ENEX provides nearly 40,000 news
videos a year and more than 3,500
live sources to its members. Feeds
are quickly and easily selected by
ENEX from sources around the world including the US - with up to four feeds
made available.
LiveU Matrix is a highly flexible
and cost-effective solution for the
newsroom, making live content
management simple and affordable
and ensuring service reliability and
availability.
It combines a powerful frontend with a reliable IP cloud-based
transport layer, seamlessly integrating
into daily workflows, allowing news

teams to share and consume highquality live feeds with multiple internal
and cross-organizational end points.
It's offered as a fully managed end-toend service with proactive monitoring
and 24/7 support through LiveU's
NOC (network operations center). The
Matrix solution leverages LiveU's vast
global reach across the broadcast
market with a large installed user
base.
Using Matrix increases the number of
live sources for the partner to choose
from, with up-to-the-minute live news
extremely valuable in terms of viewer
engagement. It also facilitates the
easier manipulation of multiple live
signals for distribution, for example
when an event like the recent US
Election happens and broadcasters
need feeds covering the White House,
party HQs and key states counting
votes to be available all at the same
time.
Adrian Wells, Managing Director
ENEX, said, " We're always looking

for ways to deliver more and better
services to our partners. LiveU is a
very powerful player in IP delivery with
many of our stations already familiar
with the company. Matrix brings new
choices to newsrooms and content
sharing. We are delighted with this
new initiative. "
Zion Eilam, VP Sales, EMEA,
LiveU, added, " LiveU Matrix use has
significantly grown over the past year
with the latest LiveU data showing
a 100 percent increase in usage for

global content sharing. More and more
content providers and broadcasters
around the world are also turning to
Matrix. Customers tap into it for its
usability, which was designed from
the ground up with broadcasters in
mind, providing rich functionality
and cost-effectiveness while never
compromising on service reliability
and availability. We're very pleased
that ENEX has selected this platform to
increase flexibility while also lowering
the cost. "
