BY KEVIN EMMOTT
Acting as a bridge to its Unio Audio Monitoring Service Platform, speaker specialist Genelec has unveiled its new 9320A reference controller at IBC.

GEARING UP TO SAAS Synamedia BY ANNE MORRIS
Video service providers are increasingly embracing cloud and software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings, although operational teams can still be hesitant owing to fears about restructuring and the impact on jobs, according to Elke Hunganeart, VP Product Management of Synamedia’s video network business.

In another claimed fi rst, the watermarking technology is integrated with the Qtake video assist tool. This is already being utilised by Hollywood studios and post facilities.

said, noting that customers are becoming less suspicious about the reliability of cloud and exploring more where it might make sense for their businesses. For example, they might test it for disaster recovery, “and they fi nd that, actually, it works”, Hunganeart added. “Now we see customers start to think, let’s see in our business, where it makes sense to move… It could be ad insertion, it could be regionalisation, or disaster recovery. There’s much more acceptance, not that this is the
