theibcdaily 64 channels on new MADI monitor 4HM By Monica Heck
4HM is introducing a new MADI monitor, which allows engineers to look at and listen to any of the audio channels in the MADI stream and also see the status and health of the MADI construction. It’s capable of monitoring up to 64 audio channels and will feature a comprehensive range of MADI facilities.
On the stand, 4HM is also Bobbing about: The BOB/O and BOB/I complement the MA64
demonstrating the SAM64, said to solve the problem of connecting audio equipment to SDI-based infrastructure in just 1U of rack space. The SAM64 provides the interface between SDI video bitstreams and digital
audio, extracting 16 audio channels from each of the unit’s four SDI inputs to provide a total of 64 audio channels in both MADI and AES3 formats. The company is showcasing the MA64 too, a 1U MADI

Image Matters By Monica Heck
IBC2012 marks the European debut of Image Matters, a company which develops high-performance hardware and software for advanced imaging applications. At the show, the company is showing a number of new
products, including the I’m- XS high-performance JPEG2000/uncompressed video board.
Designed for professional imaging applications I’m-XS is said to deliver outstanding quality with uncompressed or JPEG2000 images. I’m-XS processes HD and 2k content in realtime at up to 60fps and can be combined
with additional I’m-XS units for more demanding applications such as 4k images at 60fps. I’m-XS offers two 3G video inputs and outputs, and can connect directly to all SD, HD or 2k, single or dual, SDI signal sources. I’m-XS is equipped with a PCI Express GEN2 x4 connector enabling fast picture and compressed
Xtend Multiscreen announced Conax By Ian McMurray
At the beginning of the summer, Xtend Multiscreen
was announced by security specialist for video content distribution Conax. The new solution was developed together with strategic partners Cubiware and MPS
Broadband, and will, says Conax, provide pay-TV operators with a groundbreaking, pre-integrated ecosystem. The company claims that the solution will
converter designed specifically for broadcast and production applications. It accepts both optical and coaxial MADI and simultaneously makes 32 pairs of balanced AES/EBU and unbalanced AES3-id available for interconnection to broadcast routers, audio consoles or any other AES equipped devices. Also on display is the ASBO, a sturdy 1U 19-in rack- mounting AES breakout box, providing 32 x 75 ohm BNC connections, that is designed

to connect directly to the SAM64 and MA64. Finally, the company is showcasing its 1U BOB/O-32 breakout box, designed to complement the MA64 (or any third-party device that provides up to eight AES/EBU output pairs on a single DB-25 connector – Tascam format). Its complementary partner, the BOB/I-32 interface box, does almost the reverse, providing an interface between 16 pairs of AES/EBU inputs (on XLR3F front panel mounted
connectors) and two DB-25 rear panel connectors (conforming to the Tascam AES format). 10.A30
JPEG2000 codestream at a bitrate in excess of 1Gbps, more than four times the current DCI specification. The decoded 2k images are transmitted to a projector at a frame rate of up to 120fps (60fps per eye for Stereoscopic 3D content). To allow the production of multiple encoding formats, the system can encode high frame rate content from uncompressed files in near realtime. 10.D31
Until now, says Conax, the challenge for pay-TV operators looking to harness the opportunities presented by OTT content distribution has been identifying a full-featured, secure multiscreen solution. Conax Xtend Multiscreen is claimed to enable operators to reduce cost and time-to- market for delivering new services to connected devices like hybrid client devices, tablets and smartphones. Subscribers can expect to reap the benefits of full control of their viewing schedule and a rich, live broadcast entertainment experience available at any time, any place and on any device. “The Conax Xtend Multiscreen approach is unprecedented in the market today,” said Tom Jahr, EVP Products & Partners, Conax. “Working with strategic partners Cubiware for advanced user interface technologies, and MPS Broadband for content management, the benchmark Conax Xtend Multiscreen solution has the potential to set a new standard in terms of price/performance for multiscreen solutions. We are combining best-of-breed technologies to deliver a world class solution that will enable operators to capitalise on the new multiscreen television environment.” 1.D69
