SO SOLID SOUND SUPPORT Rycote BY DAVID FOX
Most sound recordists currently use grip equipment designed for lighting use with the aid of adaptors, which isn’t always ideal. This is why the new Rycote Sound-Supports range has been introduced. It can be viewed on the Videndum stand. Joe Watkins, Product Manager for Audio, Rycote, explained: “It’s the fi rst range of grip accessories designed for the audio user.” The main product is a tripod that can be used for mounting a microphone from fl oor level to head height. It is also compatible with a fl exible arm that can be used to mount an audio recorder or other microphone. There are small and large clamps with standard 3/8-16 BSW threads, specifi cally for audio devices without the risk of cross-threading
61
(which can happen with lighting adaptors). There is also a micro arm that can be used with a clamp or the tripod.
“Everything needs to be rock solid,” said Watkins, adding that an anti-rotation adapter is available for the clamp and tripod. 13.A05

BY KIRSTY HAZLEWOOD
High-performance IBUCs from Terrasat Communications are on show, designed to support multicarrier, multi-orbit and multi-band satcom networks. New additions include an 800W C-band IBUC offering increased output in a single chassis, and a Ka-band quad-band model covering 27.5-31.0GHz in software- selectable 1.0GHz slots. The unit also features integrated, software-defi ned IF switching to streamline operation. The portfolio now extends
Thread carefully: Watkins shows off the new tripod and grip accessories
across C-, Ku- and Ka-band systems, with power levels ranging from 4W to 800W, designed for fi xed, transportable and
gateway-class deployments. Also on show at IBC is the Tx 1:2 Redundant System and the fi eld-proven Rx 1:1 Receive Redundancy system. The latter supports multiple satcom bands and integrates LNB redundancy, 1:1 receive switching, 10MHz reference redundancy, and fl exible LNB control with voltage and tone signalling options. Terrasat says IPv6 is now supported across all its products as part of its Cyber Hardened Core, which adds secure monitoring and control functions for enhanced network protection and long-term compatibility. 1.D50a
