The above answers and other Magewell IP video streaming and conditioning products can be configured and controlled centrally through Control Hub, the company’s second-generation device and control software. A preview of a new edition of Control Hub will be presented at the show. Magewell will also showcase its physically powerful diversity of NDI, SRT, and streaming encoders and decoders, as well as its wide diversity of capture devices. The company’s popular USB Capture HDMI and USB Capture HDMI Plus external video capture devices recently earned Zoom certification for capturing stressed content with Zoom. Rooms.
Barix (booth 7C400) adds a new flavor to its coding circle with the new multi-format, low-latency MultiCoder M400 solution, capable of sending audio streams for points in 4 other formats. The new hardware device also adopts Barix’s next-generation FLEXA platform to dampen performance, application progression, and device prototyping, among other benefits.
For the MultiCoder M400, the FLEXA platform’s advanced buffering functionality eliminates any flow of buffering within the device, a vital merit given the presence of encoding engines under the hood. This means consumers can encode audio in 4 formats, adding 320KB OPUS, AAC, PCM, and mp3, and send RTP/BRTP audio streams to receiving devices without lag while maintaining exceptional quality.
These capabilities make the MultiCoder M400 a unique sibling to Barix’s existing Instreamer IP audio encoders, which accommodate different use cases. For example, the Instreamer Classic supports more streaming protocols, ideal for Live IP Audio Encoding for Streaming Applications while the Instreamer ICE is perfect for organizations streaming solely to an Icecast server without latency concerns for online audio services. The MultiCoder M400’s greater CPU capacity also ensures plenty of space for new features and applications, providing a stronger foundation for ongoing customization and development.
The MultiCoder M400 is also the first Barix encoder for high-power AAC and OPUS codecs, enabling consumers across a wide diversity of professional AV and entertainment verticals to send a greater number of streams on the same bandwidth and at lower bit rates. than reduce the power of codecs.
At its booth 6H680, nsign.tv will showcase the new IoT module of its platform that enables engagement with audiences using facial recognition cameras, NFC, RFID, QR codes, touchless sensors and voice recognition systems that unveil enormous possibilities to generate and capture interactive and dynamic information in real time. On display will be the benefits of nsign.tv solutions, such as improved customer engagement, the delivery of more personalized experiences based on the audience, and the ability to generate measurable conversations in the right place, with the right person, in the right format.
In this sense, the nsign.tv booth will show how a screen connected to a facial recognition camera can be used to obtain data such as gender and age range to adjust the content to the parameters of the person watching it. In other words, nsign.tv will show how facial recognition helps companies to personalize the content of their screens according to their audience.
The company will also showcase the BI (business intelligence) module of its platform that converts knowledge into dashboards of various resources to visualize audience analytics, content delivery insights, or connectivity with point-of-sale systems, capturing more valuable data for a business, whether it’s a checkout area in a supermarket, in a store, in the aisle of a grocery mall, or in an airport terminal, among others.
Also, attendees will see how nsign.tv software maximizes the visual effect on LED screens and simplifies content management in an intuitive and efficient way. Thus, with nsign.tv there is no need to invest in a video scaler as the same platform makes its own processing, which greatly saves installations in LED projects.
At booth 2W500, Humly will be showcasing its latest inventions in standby devices, adding a new network-enabled accessory that complements the power and capability for desktop integrations.
New for ISE this year, Humly’s PoE and desktop control features for the backup device are enabled via a standalone ultra-compact accessory. The accessory includes an Ethernet port for PoE force and a separate wiring connection for console positions, and those features can be enabled separately or together. The fixture is small enough to be compatible with internal walls or to be attached under desks for cleaner installations that hide fixtures from direct sight lines.
Humly will also display a momentary external accessory to detect human presence in a private meeting area, such as a phone booth. The external sensor immediately notifies the local backup device when it enters the cabin, which switches to “reserved” mode and turns the touchscreen bezel red.
Introduced at InfoComm in June and new to the ISE audience, users can now book, extend, or conclude meetings directly on the booking device, providing greater flexibility to create new bookings and make changes to the site. In addition, integrators and technical managers with access to the Humly Dashboard can now collect insights and statistics similar to room and table usage. The latter becomes even more difficult when combined with the built-in presence detection of the standby device or the new external sensor.
