Andreas Tweitmann, CEO, RTW Q&A
Has IBC come at a good time for the electronic media industry? Why? Yes, absolutely. Digital content is at top of mind for all right now and with that there has to be a new way of thinking. How to create, manage and share content with viewers in the best way possible while integrating modern technology is an obstacle we all face every day. Whether it’s a focus on creating in 4K, managing with cloud-computing or sharing on second screen devices, audio and video professionals must continue to work in tandem to solve issues they are facing. For
RTW that means a continued focus on loudness standardisation to provide users with crisp, clear audio, across multiple disciplines, be it TV broadcast, radio, multi-screen multimedia, corporate and education as well. We are all in the business of media and IBC is always a good platform for the exchange of ideas.
What do you think are the key developments in, or threats to, your market sector at the current time? Budgets continue to be tight, as are personnel among studios. We see customers all trying to do more with
less. However, to truly do more now with an eye on what will continue to support efforts in the future, it’s imperative to make a sound investment in quality products and solutions. AT RTW, our business is audio and we feel very strongly that quality of audio should not be sacrificed at the sake of challenges. That’s why we have made such a commitment to offer innovative, easy-to-use, affordable metering solutions to customers at all ends of the audio spectrum.
Why should delegates visit your stand at IBC?
RTW has been a leader in audio metering innovation for nearly 50 years, and for many, we have become their industry standard, a trusted company they turn to when new loudness challenges arise. We have had some wonderful, positive changes so far this year and we are eager to share our new introductions with our friends old and new at the IBC show. Earlier this year we launched the RTW Masterclass PlugIns Loudness Tools software and the TM3-Primus both of which are on display for the first time at IBC. We will also have a few new introductions and updates throughout our
software, smart and premium product categories. RTW is very much a proponent of loudness standardisation and we always welcome the opportunity to discuss ideas with others who are close to this issue. 8.D92
Multi-room ecosystems Vestel By Monica Heck
A ‘whole home’ solution is on show at the Vestel stand in Hall 14, offering a user-friendly
multiroom ecosystem enabling content distribution via a home network. Regardless of the
transmission interface, a Vestel multituner gateway outputs individual broadcasting to second screens in the home,
including smartphones and tablets.
A new multiscreen solution with NAS (Network Attached Storage) support is also on show at the Vestel stand. Multiple client IP devices can record and playback the same content over network storage. A gateway with multiple
front-end inputs provides live streaming to other clients such
2K/4K field backup device Nexto DI By David Fox
To back up HD or Ultra HD memory cards on location, without a laptop, Nexto DI has launched the Storage Bridge NSB-25, an expandable field backup device with interchangeable memory card modules and removal drives. The versatile unit comes with two removable USB 3.0 hard drives, plus CF/SD (SDHC/SDXC) memory card slots and a slot for an interchangeable memory card module – of which there will be a choice of seven modules to handle SxS, P2 & ExpressP2, Red, AJA,
AXSM, 2.5-inch SSD (or HDD), or CFast cards. With one

to three true back up copies simultaneously (MCopy) on the two removable drives and one external USB 3.0 drive attached to it. For reviewing backed up footage as thumbnails, or to playback 2K and preview 4K video clips, the NSB-25 has a 5-inch 800x400 touchscreen, where it can show XAVC 2K/4K or other formats, such as MPEG2, AVC-intra, AVCHD, H.264, ProRes, DNxHD and DVCPRO HD. The NSB-25 will also transcode 4K files to H.264 for quick playback - via a future upgrade pack. It has an internal speaker and headphone jack, and users can connect it to a larger monitor through its HDMI
port. It can also generate a CRC-
protected Log file to keep track of usage, and when copying a 4GB or larger file it supports exFAT/FAT/UDF and HFS+ file formats.
A Sync function allows users to quickly offload all backed up files to another drive by touching the screen, and only those files that have changed since the last sync will be copied. 11.G37
Time to DI: The NSB-25 can back up to three drives at once, from many different cards and formats
By David Fox
A compact new portable LED lighting kit has been introduced by Nanguang, containing all most users will need to shoot an interview. The lights can be used individually on camera, on the included stands, or lock together to form a larger panel. The three 30W dimmable CN- 5400Pro LED lights come in two versions, a 5600K daylight unit, or a bi-colour model that can switch between 5600K and 3200K. For power
the 575g lights
take 7.2-12v DC or 100-240v AC. They can take Sony NP- FH, NP-FM or NP-F series batteries and the kit comes with six sets of AA battery packs, plus six Panasonic battery adapters (for CGR-D series batteries). Each light can take two (swappable) batteries
for extended usage. Each light comes with a set
of filters (diffuser, extra soft diffuser and orange filter). There are also three lighting stands, and each light has a flexible handle that can be bent to reposition the light by between 15º and 45º. There is also a soft carrying bag. 11.E10
Adaptable: Nanguang’s new kit can bend to your will with a flexible handle and click-together lights
as client TVs, STBs, tablets or smartphones, delivering a full multiscreen experience in the home. Well known DRM technologies are supported in the system to secure premium content. Finally, visitors can also see
Vestel’s smart security STB, an all-in-one home monitoring and security system with wireless sensor control which enables
home surveillance, security control and power monitoring. A dedicated mobile device application is used to control the overall system including air conditioning, switch devices on or off and dim or switch lights on or off.
Notifications can be sent to dedicated mobile devices to inform the end-user. 14.A20
