WIRELESS BATTERY OVERCOMES RESISTANCE Dynacore Technology BY DAVID FOX
The Dano series of 140Wh and 210Wh 14.8v batteries uses ‘wireless technology’ – in that there are no connecting cables in the batteries. All the cells, output
connectors (D-Tap, USB-A and USB-C) and power indicators are soldered to the PCB directly. This means that internal resistance can be effectively reduced, and it helps to ensure the batteries offer stable and reliable performance. The batteries use a double- shell structure that is drop-proof
at 1.2m and seven-pin battery connectors, which helps improve their load capacity and “solves the issue of high-temperature melting caused by the electrode block of the battery at high load”, according to the company. The ‘digital’ versions of each battery (the Dano-D140S and
Dano-D210S) have a built-in OLED to display battery status and power info, including power percentage, remaining running time, USB-A/USB-C status and battery cycle times. There are Gold-mount and V-mount versions of all the models. 12.D44

BIRTHDAY BONANZA BUNDLE Nugen Audio BY KEVIN EMMOTT
Celebrating its 20th anniversary at IBC, UK-based audio plug- in specialist Nugen Audio has bundled its SigMod, AB Assist, Jotter and Aligner plug-ins into one bumper birthday package. The NUtility Toolkit aims to enhance DAW functionality, speed up tedious admin tasks and save time.
SigMod enables users
to create custom signal architecture to enhance the functionality of both the DAW and third-party plug-ins. It offers access to functionality that is often either missing or diffi cult to access in certain DAWs, such as a phase fl ip and a mid/side
QC NO LONGER ON THE QT
encoder and decoder. Its AB Assist 2 receives and compares up to four audio sources while its blind test function randomly labels the streams for an unbiased assessment of the audio options. Additionally, an auto-level match function allows the user to match short-term loudness (LUFS) of sources, while a mono-check feature compares mono fold-downs, and the smooth tool creates fades between sources. Also in the bundle is Aligner, an automatic phase and polarity alignment tool, while Jotter provides easy sharing of timestamped notes and comments between the plug-in and the free standalone Jotter app. 8.D79
QCtudio is a companion cloud-based system for intuitive QC reporting
Venera Technologies BY KEVIN EMMOTT
Venera Technologies has chosen IBC to unveil QCtudio, a cloud-based system designed to streamline and enhance the QC process for media professionals. QCtudio complements Venera’s
Big NUs: The toolkit combines four of the company’s plug-ins
fl agship cloud-native Quasar QC with an interactive interface that simplifi es the review of QC reports and streamlines the content approval process after QC. QCtudio allows users to visualise and review audio and video alerts that are reported by Quasar on a timeline alongside the media proxy in a browser- based player. Users can also
preview the audio waveform for more detailed audio analysis. Key features include the ability for users to categorise alerts as ‘Verifi ed’, ‘Creative Intent’, or ‘False Positive’ to prioritise and manage corrections. Users can also annotate each alert with comments, ensuring that all relevant information is documented within the same QC report for future reference. QCtudio generates and exports annotated QC reports in the EBU QC format, as well as providing the ability for operators to export ‘verifi ed’ alerts into a compatible format for ingest into editing tools such as DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere for content correction. 7.D45
