DRIVING FORWARD WITH IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT 3SS
CONSUME BY ANNE MORRIS
Stuttgart-based UX specialist 3SS has introduced a new service called 3SS Automotive that it claims extends next-level entertainment UX beyond the living room and into the car. The service is supported by the company’s 3Ready Product Framework. Tomasz Dzikowski, product owner automotive at 3SS, said: “We’re involved in several projects, with partners who share our goal of elevating in-car entertainment UX.” Dzikowski also reveals that these partners include auto manufacturers, but their identities are still under wraps.
3SS views automotive as a natural expansion of its commitment to help operators deliver a UX across all digital devices. Dzikowski said: “We know from the new paradigms of autonomous driving, electrifi cation and today’s dynamic in-vehicle infotainment ecosystem, that soon screens in cars will be augmentations to the long- established multiscreen concept.” “Telcos and video service
providers are eager to seize this opportunity to build even stronger, wider-reaching subscriber relationships,” he added. Pierre Donath, CMO, 3SS, said: “We created 3Ready to help operators deliver seamless experiences that people love, on all screens, and to enable customer-centric innovation to be ready for what’s next.

“We want to bring the same high-quality experience consumers enjoy on the sofa at home or on their favourite mobile devices to vehicles.” 3SS is currently delivering eight major projects for operators in
EMEA, North America, Latin America and Asia Pacifi c. “In 2021 we delivered four times as many projects as in 2020, but we also saw growth in usage and subscribers of the solutions we’ve created, and we see
this momentum continuing,” commented Donath.
He added: “Our way of working is agile and collaborative; we aim to be the best partner to co-create next-level video and TV entertainment.”

Argosy has introduced a range of connectors and tooling from Simply45, geared towards Cat6, Cat6A and Cat7 cabling installations.
The Simply45 series incorporates what are said to be the only pass-through style connectors approved by HDBaseT – the global standard for the transmission of ultra- high-defi nition video and audio, Ethernet, controls, USB and up
to 100W of power over a single, long-distance cable. Chris Smeeton, director at
Argosy, said: “By adding the Simply45 series to our portfolio, we’re presenting more effi cient ways for broadcasters to install

ON CLOUD 9 WITH LIVE NEWS SYSTEM iO Media Group

Hot on the heels of launching the Live News & Sports System (LNS) – which is geared towards helping broadcasters meet content requirements and remain competitive – the iO Media Group has launched a
related cloud-based solution. Cloud-native and custom- built for “effi cient and accurate journalism”, LNS Cloud 9 is said to support publishing to any available platform. It provides software and workfl ow tools for live news and sport planning, input, output, story-centric collaboration, OTT and digital publishing. As with its on-premise and hybrid/SaaS systems, LNS Cloud 9’s workfl ows have been
eliminating potential failure points and electrical arcing. Its Bar45 load bar precisely lines up the conductors for better signal isolation and reduces near-end (NEXT) and far-end crosstalk (FEXT). The solution
also maintains wire pair twist synchronisation at termination for improved cable performance and it is colour-coded for easy plug identifi cation. Argosy’s new partnership with Simply45 means that it can now offer the pass-through style connectors and tooling to the UK and UAE broadcast markets. Todd Cota, president of Simply45, said: “Argosy’s tenure and extensive knowledge spanning over 35 years in the broadcast industry is invaluable to us. We’re very excited to have them represent and validate our products in this industry.”
developed by software-savvy journalists and producers who wanted something better, according to CEO John O’Loan. “LNS works the way journalists and producers think because they designed it,” said O’Loan. “Our aim is for the content to be shaped by editorial priority, not forced by the software that made it. As a result, journalists and producers fi nd LNS intuitive, quick and easy to work with.”
