Pride of place on the projectiondesign booth will be the new F35 WQXGA, the first projector anywhere in the world to feature Texas Instruments' WQXGA DLP chip. This offers a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels - 78% more than WUXGA. The result is a display of high pixel density that requires fewer projectors to produce "ultra-realistic images with a sharpness and
ISE is one of the few shows, where Alcons displays both its product groups at the same time: The general product line and the AV / Digital Cinema product line.
Main focus this year will be on two products, of which one is the already established LR7 micro pro-ribbon line-array system, latest and smallest member of Alcons' successful pro-ribbon line-arrays. Featuring a single 6.5" woofer and the Alcons RBN401 4" pro-ribbon driver in a 15° vertical projection configuration. The 16 ohms impedance and a choice of 90° or 120° horizontal projection, makes the LR7 suitable for A/V projects, where very compact form factor with perfect line-array throw an
Careful annotation and innovative passive design allows the Q Switch to be used in two modes, 1 : 4 for selecting powered loudspeakers and sub woofers, or 4 : 1 for selecting multiple signal sources in broadcast, installation and studio applications. The Q Switch accepts balanced and unbalanced signals.

Fohhn's networking technology enables up to 255 connected devices with integrated DSP to be controlled and monitored from a central location using a PC/laptop and Fohhn Audio Soft. The software's intuitive, graphic user interface gives direct access to the various DSP functions, provides information on the status of the connected devices and allows sound adaption to the room's architecture and acoustics in real time.
Fohhn Audio Soft 3.0 includes a re-designed user interface that offers "even greater control possibilities". Both active and passive speakers can now be graphically positioned on screen, showing their actual positions in the room. As a result, selecting the correct channel o
Barco's RLM-W6 premieres the colour saturation and image stability of three-chip DLP technology in applications hitherto mostly reserved for single-chip DLP systems. In addition to its low price, the RLM-W6 offers a minimal total cost ownership due to its low energy consumption. In terms of ergonomics, its near-silent noise level is a significant improvement over competing three-chip DLP systems.
The RLM-W6's WUXGA (1920x1200) resolution gives it the

According to Marl, replacing standard dichroic halogen lights with its LED products will pay for themselves within a year when operated for 18-24 hours a day, and will last for nearly six years (50,000 hours) continuous illumination.
The Marl 256 series MR16 LED downlight matches the output of a 35W halogen light but draws just 6W. It interfaces with all standard MR16 sockets allowing direct replacements, and in most instances, can be powered from the same 12V AC or DC supply. The modules emit zero ul

"As a company, we have a very well-established reputation for providing ultra-dependable, ultra-high quality products in situations where people's lives can depend on the delivery of the right imaging at the right time," says Tim Brooksbank, chairman at Calibre.
"What is perhaps less well-known is that we also make many products suitable for applications such as corporate AV, where the emphasis is on raising the quality of multiple video sources to a uniformly high standard, and residential systems, where the usage may be more casual but the expectation of quality is getting higher all the time.
"Where the application is not mission-critical, it is

EcoXpress is a touch-screen based software solution installed on to DB Systems' hardware, either kiosks or regular PCs and screens. The terminals allow event delegates to browse exhibitors' literature onscreen, select what is most relevant to them and then email that information to themselves.
At present, delegates who attend events and exhibitions inevitably collect a library of brochures and various forms of corporate literature. Very often these items are lost, damaged, left behind, thrown away or don't contain the information that the delegate wants.
Oliver Richardson, DB Systems' sales director, says, "As a service supplier, DB understands that budgets are tight. One of the benef
The transmission line quality and bandwidth they have to cope with might also vary in the same proportions, depending on available network infrastructures.
For that reason, Digigram, as a key manufacturer of IP audio codec equipment, says it is committed to offering its partners and customers the widest range of options when it comes to audio compression algorithms.
Recently, and in addition to existing options, Digigram R&D labs heavily - and successfully - tested the apt-X Enhanced audio compression enc
