Beyond the big news represented by the new RC400T event controller, Analog Way\u2019s ISE was characterized above all by the very important upgrades for the well-known LivePremier and Picturall series<\/strong><\/p>\n The new product is the RC400T<\/strong><\/a> event controller, available from February and showed for the first time at ISE 2020<\/a>;<\/strong> no less important, however, the news that Analog Way<\/strong><\/a> has announced in Amsterdam<\/strong> for the LivePremier<\/strong><\/a> and Picturall<\/strong><\/a> series.
\nThe LivePremier<\/strong><\/a> range, 4K\/8K<\/strong> multi-screen live presentation systems, saw the recent introduction of Aquilon RS alpha<\/a>,<\/strong> which led the series to include five pre-configured products and two customizable models. Aquilon<\/strong><\/a> offers up to 24 inputs<\/strong> and 20 outputs<\/strong> and up to 24x<\/strong>\u00a04K<\/strong> layers. Aquilon combines real-time 10\/12-bit 4:4:4<\/strong> video processing power and pure 4K60p<\/strong> on each input and output with ultra-low latency. With the native Dante<\/strong> audio routing capability, up to 64<\/strong> channels of audio can be embedded or de-embedded over a Dante<\/strong> network. “The new major software upgrade v2.0<\/strong> \u2013 Demtrio Faroldi, EMEA Sales Director di Analog Way<\/strong> explains \u2013 \u201cincludes many new features and enhancements. First of all, we have included in the LivePremier<\/strong><\/a> range the first switcher capable of converting the HDR<\/strong> signal, so we can mix SDR<\/strong> signals with HDR, HLG<\/strong> and HDR10<\/strong> signals. This is a big news, because it allows us to drive both HDR<\/strong> and non-HDR<\/strong> displays, with all types of signal. In addition, we have enhanced the products with features that improve their performance, which is already very powerful. Another novelty is the addition of 12G-SFP<\/strong> fiber optic connections.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe new RC400T<\/strong><\/a> event controller works in combination with the products of the LivePremier<\/a><\/strong> range: designed to offer an efficient show management system and to give instant access to the crucial functionalities of the LivePremier<\/strong><\/a> image processor, the RC400T<\/strong><\/a> comes with a rugged design for touring applications and offers 56 user<\/strong> programmable buttons, a high-resolution T-bar and a three-axis joystick for PiP sizing and programming.
\n\u201cIn addition to the switcher range\u201d \u2013 says Demtrio<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cwe also presented some news for media servers; the new version includes the ability to content manage also via web, and provides for the addition of the Dante<\/strong> interface. We found a lot of interest from visitors to the LivePremier<\/strong><\/a> range, because they are very powerful products, which allow you to manage large surfaces both for installation and for live events. I am referring mainly to LED surfaces, but not only. These products cover the needs of medium-sized events right up to big events.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nImportant upgrades have also been presented for the Picturall<\/strong><\/a> range, multimedia servers based on Linux<\/strong> software, which can also be controlled with third-party control systems via IP<\/strong> or ArtNet.<\/strong> The new software upgrade v3.0<\/strong> includes new features such as the support of the high-performance and high-quality NotchLC 10-bit<\/strong> video codec.
\nAnd to conclude, the new DPH104<\/a> 4K video wall processor<\/strong> was also presented, able to convert, with no added latency, one 4K<\/strong>\u00a0DisplayPort<\/strong> output from a Picturall<\/strong><\/a> media server to four independent 1080p HDMI<\/strong> outputs. DPH104<\/strong><\/a> does not require software or configuration and is a perfect fit for numerous video wall and soft-edge blending applications.
\n\u201cThe show was a success\u201d \u2013 explains Demetrio<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cdespite adversity, first of all Coronavirus. The turnout, as far as we are concerned, was very similar to that of last year. For us, the latter ISE<\/strong><\/a> in Amsterdam<\/strong> means projecting ourselves onto the future, with many new ProAV<\/strong> and integration<\/strong> projects, a sector that interests us more and more, and with new customers, especially in the service sector.\u201d<\/p>\n
