Vortex will supply a Debate Timing System to the Houses of Parliament based on its new FLX TouchScreen Production Timer. The system will indicate when a speech nears its allotted time but can also add extra time for interruptions. The Vortex FLX is “a cost- effective, flexible, networked
timing system that handles almost any time-keeping requirement from a standalone stopwatch to a building-wide multi-display, multi-timezone solution,” said Vortex Director, Ian Prowse. Its standard configuration provides three separate timers configurable as count- up, count-down or count-through with pre-set countdown times and users can add or subtract blocks of time on-the-fly plus show an

Extron Electronics has launched the DMP 128 Digital Matrix Processor, a 12x8 audio mixer featuring Extron ProDSP, automixing,
I/O expansion capabilities, and available acoustic echo cancellation.
The DMP 128 offers a configuration approach to DSP that simplifies mixing, routing, conferencing, and room optimisation. Quick and intuitive configuration
also be shown on remote displays that can also include elements such as On-Air lights and Telephone ring and
using the DSP Configurator Software allows the DMP 128 to be installed in very little time, with easy to learn adjustments that can be heard in realtime.
A digital audio expansion port allows two DMP 128 units to be linked together
to expand input and output signal management and routing capabilities. The DMP 128 is ideal for presentation and conferencing applications in boardrooms, courtrooms, and conference centres that require advanced matrix mixing with DSP. 3.C41

Emergency indicators. An FLX system comprises one or more touchscreen tablet computers used as control surfaces and a number of HDMI screens with small network interfaces, to display the timing.
Smartphones and tablets can be used as timer displays and control surfaces. All elements of the system are synchronised with each other and to an external NTP server such as TimeLord Net for accuracy. Individual screens and controllers can be configured with a variety of display layouts, with
combinations of customisable analogue and digital timers and clocks. 11.G11
