railing just a few weeks after the

Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the
30 January - 2 February Integrated
Systems
Europe exhibition in
Barcelona focuses on the audiovisual
sector. First held in 2004, ISE outgrew
its RAI Amsterdam location and
relocated to the Fira Barcelona Gran

additional halls (1 and 4) providing
17% more floorspace. It is configured
into seven zones:
* Lighting & Staging (Hall 1)
* Residential & Smart
Building (Hall 2)
* Unified Communications &
Education Technology (Hall 2)
* Multi-Technology (Halls 3, 4 & 5)
* Content Production &
Distribution (Hall 4)
* Digital Signage & DOOH (Hall 6)
* Audio (Hall 7) plus ISE Sound
Experience with Audio Demo
Rooms (Hall 8).
The following preview covers a
selection of exhibits with potential
broadcast-related applications.
AEQ's Olympia 3 can be used as
an AoIP-connected commentary unit
supporting eight channels via Dante
protocol or as a standalone mono
or stereo sound mixer with mixing,
routing, tone and dynamics control.
It can also function as an intercom
panel. Three 1 Gigabit IP ports per

players, DVE, and multiple outputs
" ISE comes at the perfect time for
us, as we add more AV features and
functionality to our product range " ,
says Paul Scurrell, Senior VP of
Product. " For example, Zato was
introduced initially as a low-cost
streaming encoder but we have now
added the ability to turn it into an NDI
confidence monitor. " Atomos has
also recently streamlined its Atomos
Cloud Studio platform. Customers
can now choose from a basic free
plan with options to pay as you go
or
from three subscription plans:
Camera to Cloud, Live Production,
and All-inclusive. Also on show will
be Atomos Live Production, a cloudbased
controller for live and remote
video.
Audio-Technica will
exhibit
its
BP3600 microphone which has eight
hypercardioid
capsule assemblies
and is compact enough for singleoperator
operation. Direct
routing
is also possible with no need for
additional decoding. When used in
a 5.1.4 immersive situation, the four
upper microphone channels
can
be assigned to the upper speaker
channels and the four lower channels
assigned
to the lower speaker
channels.
BirdDog's latest firmware update,
Play, for its AVoIP codec product
range, can now decode SRT and
sources directly
from the BirdDog
Cloud Connect platform. Play can be
used in almost any workflow where
needed to deliver an HDMI output.

at
ISE
Bolin's EX-Ultra outdoor PTZ camera
2023. " Our 8K line made quite an
impression as one product came
out a winner while another was
recognised
shortly
after: BG-8K88MA
HDMI 2.1 matrix switcher (TNT
Awards by CE Pro and Commercial
Integrator) and BG-AVTPG-Mini-G2
HDMI 2.1 test
generator (Best of
CIX 2023 by rAVe), " says Eugene
Bocharov, CEO and President. " Our
8K lineup includes HDMI 2.1 matrix
switchers, signal splitters, amplifiers,
testers and specialty cables. Our 8K
specialty cables include HDMI 2.1
active cables and fibre. The entire
8K
family
supports a maximum
resolution of 8K 60 Hz as well as 4K
120 Hz, ensuring users and gamers
experience the highest level of detail
and fluidity. For 2024 we will have a
new 8K tester along with more robust
8K matrix switch options in 12x12 and
16x16 models. But the biggest news
we have is our mission to bring an 8K
PTZ camera. Also joining the party is
our 4K UHD product line. Our AI autotracking
PTZ camera series will also
make an appearance: BG-ADAMO-4K
and BG-ADAMO-JR, plus our medicalgrade
BG-Nutrix PTZ camera and BGAir4Kast
4K 60 Hz HDMI 2.0 Wireless
Extender. "
