The Digigram IQOYA *CALL/LE
THE NAB’S annual showcase of all that is shiny and new in the world of broadcasting is upon us once more, and with some 1,681 exhibitors (at last count) and more conferences, speakers, pavilions and workshops than you can shake a mic at, the 2014 show looks set to be another corker. Here, in alphabetical order, is a sneak peek at some of what said exhibitors have to offer this year… 2wcom will be introducing a
number of new products and showcasing its FlexDSR02+ and FlexDSR04+ IRDs for audio contribution via satellite and IP. “These extremely versatile, multi-faceted solutions are being deployed by major broadcasters to build the next generation of robust, high-quality cost-effective radio infrastructure,” comments Werner Drews, MD of 2wcom. The company will extend its audio-over-IP offering with the new AIC, a 19-inch unit that combines IP encoder and decoder functions in one chassis, and debut a new solution for SFN FM networks which provides synchronisation for implementing FM SFN networks with existing analogue transmission infrastructure. The Digigram team will

individual loudness and true peak meters in mono, stereo and 5.1 formats for up to 96 individual audio channels. The company’s flagship Loudness Toolkit features the VisLM visual loudness
metering plug-in; ISL, the inter-sample true peak limiter; and LM- Correct, a standalone loudness tool.

The all-new Sonifex RB-SD1IP
Redbox RB-SD1IP silence detection unit, an upgraded version of its popular RB-SD1. The unit is a 1U rack mount device used to monitor an unattended stereo studio feed and – in the event of the signal going “quiet” after a given period – switch through an alternative stereo audio signal. The RB-SD1IP offers all of the functionality of the standard RB-SD1 with several extra capabilities: Ethernet connectivity, providing the ability to set up and control the unit via a browser based GUI; network capabilities which allow the user to finely control the silence level and silence duration; and a new browser GUI, which offers a real time view of signal levels and alarm statuses and enables the user to treat the left and right channels independently. Ci, Sony’s media cloud services for collection and archiving of content, will be exhibited with a number of enhancements, including a new “Team Workspace” feature.
