IANIRO will exhibit its new light for Mini-DV cameras type "on-board" of 6/7.2 V. which will have several spotlights, optional dimmer , and will offer the same robust design of the Aladdin line. It can be used with bulbs of 10W, 20W or 35W maximum in 6/7.2 V., it has an ergonomic and compact NiMh type battery that adheres to the camera without losing mobility.

Editware will showcase FastTrack VS, a complete editing solution for use with video servers. Designed for real-time video server editing and playback, it offers a perfect combination of linear and non-linear editing, offering the speed and flexibility of non-linear editing along with the multi-channel capability and high-quality effects of linear systems. It offers the option to use a video switcher , digital effects units and audio mixing as additional. It has a user interface compatible with Windows.

Eyeheight will unveil the PresTx system based on its Eyeheight Digital geNETics hardware platform. The new presentation switcher can be configured from a simple SDI A/B mixer to a true master insertion control system, simply with the addition of different modules. The equipment is optimized for use in automation systems.

Hamlet will launch the Protean Digital Window , the first portable solution for measuring and monitoring SDI signals generating audio for productions, links, installation, maintenance and other situations where a broadcast quality unit of measurement is required. It has external reference inputs and SDI, possible remote control and analog audio output in addition to EDH, error data reporting and signal strength.

Integrated Broadcast Information Systems (IBIS) will present its SprinTx sports automation system, one of the most effective solutions for sports news and uses. The equipment easily integrates with servers and newsroom computing systems from all major manufacturers and uses MOS protocols to ensure that the output module can be updated with any transmission programming changes.

QUARTZ will show its QMC Master Control switcher which includes a range of modular control panels and internal DVE. The equipment occupies only 3UR for two channels and incorporates multiple layers, multiformat audio and stores the logo to allow channeling the identification. The QMC has relay shunts and dual power source units required for use on critical transmission lines.

Pixel Power will launch its Collage 2 platform. It is the series that includes Character Generator, 2D animation drawings and enhanced 3D to provide real-time 3D graphics. Simultaneously the signature shows Collage Junior, an input level generator and finished graphics station.

Vi[Z]rt will showcase the vi[z] Video Engine that combines the power of vi[z]rt graphics and its direction content with an internal digital disc recorder, all structured in PC architecture. Graphics processing can be mixed with live real-time graphics. It is a complete authoring system for motion graphics, render and repetitions, all based on Windows architecture. On the other hand, the vi[z]rt Sport composed of tools for the transmission of sports, with new graphics creation systems, will be presented.

Wheatstone Corporation will launch BRIDGE 2001 Digital Audio Network Router, a practical, compact and economical solution offered to growing studios.
