Complementing the CL series Rio3224-D and Rio1608-D i/o units, the space-saving 1U size Ri8-D and Ro8-D make it possible to now place inputs where a system only needs inputs and outputs where it only need outputs, or any combination of the two.

The Ri8-D and Ro8-D work seamlessly with compatible Yamaha professional audio products which have the Dante-MY16-AUD interface card installed. These include the M7CL and LS9 digital consoles and the DME64N digital mixing engine. The Ri8-D head amplifiers can also be controlled directly from the user interface of a compatible console.

The VC Series of LED video products combines an all-new level of simplicity with a high level of quality. Instead of relying on DMX, these new creative LED video elements are driven by Martin's award-winning P3 System Controller family for true video control with superb ergonomics and easy set up. So no need to worry about stuttering, uneven dimming or lack of synchronization (as with many DMX-driven solutions). VC-Strips -Grids and -Dots are ideal for integrating LED video into a façade, stage design, ceiling, lobby or any other structure (indoors or out), says the company.

The new VC-Strip family of narrow LED video strips features a pixel-pitch of 25 mm and is available in various lengths up to 400 mm. Th

Announcing the series, Optocore director, Tine Helmle, said: "We believe this to be the best solution for the professional AV market, largely because it is now a common standard - with MADI ports frequently used by manufacturers to offer clients a future-proofed, open platform, with price advantages."

On top of that, says Helme, this solution has many advantages over Ethernet. MADI switches are extremely price efficient, with low latency, low power consumption and fast set-up time - since they have been developed specifically for professional audio and video. These attributes are represented in Optocore's new range.

The new devices will eventually develop into a complete MADI series of 16-port and
