Bridge Technologies ATV probe now available By Ian McMurray
ONE OF a number of new products being announced by Bridge Technologies at IBC is Version 5.0 System software with new capabilities for onboard recording and build-to-order internal probe storage, among other features. Version 5.0 introduces support for Bridge’s build-to-order probe hardware with internal 16, 32 or 64GB flash memory and onboard recording of transport streams or PCAP files. PCAP file recording allows the storage
of IP packet information for later analysis via a web app and the introduction of this feature enables the ultimate in packet inspection and analysis at any point in the network equipped with Bridge Technologies’ probes.
Also new from the company is the VB220-ATV. Bridge Technologies’ VB220 probe is now also available as the VB220-ATV in a form factor specially tailored to fit AppearTV-based infrastructures. The VB220-ATV is identical in functionality and features, replicating all of the original’s performance, but in a size readily accommodated by AppearTV users. Not new, but being highlighted on the company’s stand, is its MicroAnalytics System, which is designed to allow operators to remotely access realtime data from set-top boxes, connected TVs, iPads, iPhones and other mobile devices, making accurate and comprehensive end-to-end multiservice/OTT and home network monitoring a reality. 1.A30
“Nuage is pushing seamless
workflow integration to a new level,” said Thomas Römann, technical director at Hamburg-based Digital Audio Service, “bringing together processes that require a multitude of devices, connections and interfaces in traditional systems.” Belgian-based Amptec Professional Sound Solutions was the first Nuage Partner to supply a complete system, the installation of which is currently underway; the investment was made by Temple of Tune, one of the country’s leading post production studios. “We have a lot of experience with
Yamaha hardware and consoles, Dante networking and Nuendo software, so we were very curious about what Nuage would bring to the post processing industry,” said Amptec sales director Belgium, Harald Vanherf. “We are very happy that we can offer this excellent solution to our customers, backed with the high quality service and support they have come to expect from us.” 8.D10
