Virtual Linked Intercom on show RTS Intercom Systems By Monica Heck
RTS IS exhibiting its VLink Mobile (Virtual Linked Intercom) system, a fully interconnected DHCP- compliant virtual communications solution for RTS intercom systems. Compatible with PC or Mac and optimised for use with mobile devices, RTS VLink allows remote users to interface with RTS matrix intercoms over the internet using a simple application. This offers more control and flexibility and VLink supports SIP to provide enhanced connectivity. Two RTS VLink systems are
available. The basic RTS VLink- LE system comprises a standalone software/server-based intercom providing limited interconnect functionality into any existing audio feed. The premium RTS VLink system provides intelligent trunking links into an RTS intercom matrix to provide full support for RTS intercom alphas and matrix access for standard communications workflows. VLink is fully compliant with
the EBU Tech 3347 Standard specifying the transport protocols, coding algorithms, encapsulation, and signalling required to ensure interoperability in audio-over-IP production intercoms.
Blue Lucy Media
Pay-as-you-go cloud service
By Carolyn Giardina
USING THE capabilities of the cloud, Blue Lucy Media is launching a metered licensing system for its content acquisition, production and metadata management software. Users only pay for time when the software is in production use. “The cloud is undoubtedly becoming more prevalent for media asset management, browse content for production workflow, or as a gallery for archive material. However, we believe that many still prefer to store and process master content within their own facility, or at least want to have the choice,” said CEO Julian Wright. “BLM’s model provides that option, with the ability to store and manage selected content locally while providing the advantages of the cloud as a pay-per-use and/or pay-as-you-go service.” 7.J40
Adapts perfectly to any environment.
