theibcdaily MAF moves to v3 Metrological By Monica Heck
Visitors to the Metrological stand can see live demonstrations of the company’s cloud-based TV app store framework. Version 3.0 of the Metrological Application Framework allows operators to launch their own branded TV and multiscreen app store and offers a publishing platform to content providers. Delivered as a managed service, the platform allows operators to deliver and manage apps across different operating systems and multiple devices.
The framework supports both
full screen and overlay display apps, meaning content providers can integrate social media and red button functionality within the TV experience, so that content such as live voting, sing-along and play-along content can run side- by-side live TV broadcasts. Its app publishing platform
offers over 150 pre-packaged apps ready for publication,
including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and Google Maps. The V3.0 framework is currently deployed at UPC in Ireland, Hungary and The Netherlands, UnityMedia KBW in Germany and Cablecom in Switzerland. Metrological also provides an open SDK (Software
Development Kit) which enables operators and content service providers to develop their own apps to prevent vendor lock-in. 14.E25
Waving hello: The new 3 Series incorporates JBL's Image Control Waveguide technology
Studio monitors with an added ambience
JBL Professional
By Michael Burns The 3 Series studio monitors, the first studio monitor line to incorporate the patent- pending Image Control Waveguide, have been introduced at IBC. Harman’s JBL Professional

3 Series features two models: the LSR305, a 5-inch powered studio monitor, and the LSR308, an 8-inch powered studio monitor. The LSR305 boasts a response of 43Hz to 24kHz and a peak SPL of 108dB, while the LSR308 features a response of 37Hz to 24kHz and a peak SPL of 112dB. The monitors also feature Class D amplifiers, a long-throw woofer and a damped woven composite tweeter.
A new JBL technology developed for the company's
M2 Master Reference Monitor launched earlier this year, Image Control Waveguide enables the listener to hear greater depth and ambience in recordings, claimed the company. Surrounding the high
frequency tweeter, and located directly above the woofer, the waveguide precisely controls the sound emanating from the monitor in the vertical and horizontal planes. With a complex contour employing tiny, engineered ridges, the waveguide optimises the phase relationship of the loudspeakers, and also the blend of directed and reflecting sound arriving at the listening position.
The company said the
waveguide design allows subtle detail to be heard, even in a dense mix, and produces a wide stereo panorama with a rock-solid phantom-centre
image.
In addition, the waveguide enables 3 Series models to deliver neutral sound across a large working space, regardless of room acoustics, which JBL said eliminated the need for the customer to be positioned directly in front of the monitors when making critical adjustments to the mix.
JBL’s patented Slip Stream
low-frequency port design works in concert with the woofer to produce deep bass response at all playback levels, while the double-flared shape of the port is engineered for greater low- frequency extension and reduced turbulence. 8.D60
