AI AUTO MIX FOR THE CLOUD CROWD Salsa Sound


CREATE & PRODUCE BY MICHAEL BURNS


Innovator in AI-based audio mixing Salsa Sound has launched MIXaiR 2.0, the latest iteration of its AI-based automated platform for live audio mixing, transitioning to a pure software, cloud-ready version.


MIXaiR 2.0 is designed to make life easier for the sound team and speed up audio workfl ows,


automatically rendering to multiple formats and mixing multiple language versions or crowd fl avours. Each mix is automatically made compliant to the requisite loudness standards and parameters required for social media platforms, linear broadcast, VOD, or OTT. It can be deployed onsite, as part of a remote production workfl ow, over IP or in the cloud.


Unlike other automated mixing systems, MIXaiR 2.0 requires no additional tracking or manual operation. Instead, the


MOBILE DATA SAFE IS READY TO GO


MANAGE RNT Rausch BY MICHAEL BURNS


Germany-based technology pioneer RNT Rausch has unveiled Hibagon Mobile Data Safe, a robust, shockproof and water-resistant storage device that transports data “across companies, cities, countries and continents irrespective of weather conditions and transportation vehicles”, according to the company. RNT points out that while data transfers play an important role in fi lmmaking and video production, often terabytes of raw footage material and partially enhanced videos have to cross vast distances to reach post-production teams or studio executives for further editing or review.


The company claims FTP as a transport method has


substantial limitations, citing a high failure rate, fi le transfers being too slow and security issues, resulting in FTP often being “a banned solution at large corporations for security and performance reasons”. With the IP45-rated Hibagon Mobile Data Safe, RNT claims large amounts of data can be physically and securely transferred from A to B or from cloud to cloud. The RAID 5 device supports eight enterprise HDDs and has usable capacities ranging from 28TB (with eight 4TB HDDs) to 140TB (with eight 20TB HDDs). The stored data is encrypted (AD, LDAP, SSH and AES-XTS). Supported protocols include File (NFS, SMB, AFP), Object (S3- API, S3-Host, Cloudsync), Block (iSCSI, Cinder, VAAI) and FTP. The armoured storage system is not a service – by owning the physical device the owner will always stay in control of the data that is stored on Hibagon, says RNT.

system takes audio feeds from existing broadcast microphones at a stadium, relying on its unique AI algorithms to detect, mix in and enhance the on-pitch sounds and create engaging real-time mixes. Rob Oldfi eld, co-founder and CEO at Salsa Sound, said: “We designed MIXaiR 2.0 to remove time-intensive, manual processes that sound engineers are faced with; instead, we give them the freedom to craft a mix, rather than chasing it. We want amazing sound to be


MIXaiR 2.0 allows sound engineers to automatically create the best possible mix


accessible to as many sports fans as possible for both high and lower budget games. By removing the need for additional infrastructure, we’ve ensured that MIXaiR 2.0 can be used by clubs


of all sizes to give their fans the best experience that captures all the excitement of the on-fi eld action and makes them feel like they are actually in the stadium with the fans.”


KINOW TIES WITH DALET FLEX Kinow


MONETISE BY ANNE MORRIS


Managing the production and direct distribution of video content are two facets of the same workfl ow that require specifi c tools, which are often complex and expensive to integrate together. In order to automate these processes and to resolve interoperability issues, Kinow has integrated with the Dalet ecosystem via Dalet Flex.

Antoine: “The combined agility of Dalet Flex and Kinow… will allow us to meet the needs of our customers”


content supply chain solution that is designed to resolve the multi-platform delivery needs of content creators and distributors. Kinow provides live streaming and on-demand OTT platform solutions to distribute and monetise content. According to the company, the new joint offering makes it possible to automate the sending of fi nalised video fi les and associated metadata from the production environment to the distribution platform without manual intervention or technical integration, thus reducing the costs and deployment time of these tools.


Pierre Antoine, co-founder of Kinow, said: “The combined agility of Dalet Flex and Kinow solutions is a real asset and will allow us to meet the needs of our customers requiring both a powerful production tool and a scalable streaming distribution solution, deployed in record time and at competitive costs.” According to Kinow, the Dalet and Kinow tools empower companies to quickly launch new services on new platforms (VOD, live, apps, subscription and so on) and adopt new monetisation models with subscriber and billing management.
