Brand new products intended for professional AV installation applications include two multi-media matrix switcher/control units offering high quality video and surround-sound audio processing. The SRP-X700P, being unveiled in prototype form, is a Digital AV switcher/mixer that combines a 5.1 channel surround sound digital audio mixer with digital EQ and active feedback rejection control, power amplification (stereo), dual channel wireless receiver rack (optional WRU-806B), and RGB/video switcher - all in a single integrated, 3U high, rackmount unit. Designed to integrate with the most up to date presentation systems, the SRP-X700P can process and switch multi-media sources, including presenter microphones and programme material from audio, video, DVD and PC sources.
The PVS-R102 Multi-Media matrix switcher is a simple to operate, compact and integrated 10 into 2 AV matrix switcher, providing for the management and control of multi-media programme sources. The unit enables switching and format conversion across a wide range of graphics and video standards. It is equipped with both stereo and 5.1 surround sound audio I/Os. Both parallel and serial (RS-232) control ports are included, while an additional serial port enables the control of several Sony video projectors and PDP models, with ‘one-touch’ source switching.
Sony is also showing a new improved range of its radio microphone systems designed for AV, conferencing, small to medium scale theatre and sound touring applications. The new B Series systems feature improved RF performance with 24MHz-frequency band operation - providing 192 switchable frequencies with 125KHz-channel spacing - and enhanced audio signal quality. Coverage of more television frequency bands provides the user with greater choice and flexibility in order to operate larger radio microphone systems. Several completely new models are also introduced into the range. Sony will also be exhibiting the MB-806, a 1-U receiver rack housing up to six WRU-806 miniature UHF diversity receiver modules. Also being launched at PLASA is the V2.0 DMX-R100 software package. This aims to further extend the potential applications and operational versatility of what is currently one of the world’s best selling digital mixing consoles.
Sony can be found on Stand R1.
