14) Eyevis: Complete product range at ISE
 In recent
years there has been a change concerning the display technology used in
control centres. In the meantime conventional mosaic walls, single monitors
and other solutions have been replaced by projection screens, consisting of
so called cubes, for reasons of increasing flexibility standards. These back
projection-cubes are available in various technologies, resolution standards
and sizes. The most common display technology, which comes into operation in
most control centres is the DLP technology invented by Texas Instruments. The
resolution of each projection module reaches from SVGA over XGA up to SXGA and
SXGA+ (1,400 X 1,050 pixels). The total resolution of a wall rises the more
cubes are used. The screen diagonal ranges from 50“ to 84“. On this
years ISE eyevis will show the complete product
range consisting of large screen cubes based on the DLP technology,
controllers, wallmanagement software: the 3x2 50“
XGA DLP cube System, which is configured completely redundant. Such a
redundancy is extremely important for critical applications in a 24/7
environment; the complete controller range will be introduced: netpix npx9000, netpix npx3800
and npx2000 Series. These controllers are network based graphic systems for
large screen systems; the 2x1 SXGA+ DLP cube system; the eyecon
Wallmanagement Software: This intelligent software
allows the complete management, control and administration of a large screen
system and all connected sources. In addition it includes diverse features as
alarm management, automated events etc.; the openWARP
controller: With the openWARP normal projectors can
be driven. It is possible to make the geometrical correction and to project
nearly on all screen forms. The system is also able to make image blending
and –warping; the EYE-18: The EYE-18 Multiformat

15) Synelec unveils compact C50X cube
Synelec
Visual Systems, Inc. will demonstrate its newly-designed, compact
rear-projection unit at ISE. The C50X cube is the first in a series of
displays jointly-developed by Synelec, the French
subsidiary of Clarity Visual Systems Inc., and Clarity engineers for control
room environments that require maximum digital display performance but have
small premises. The new cube’s design marks the beginning of the
rationalization of the display product lines, which will continue in 2006
with further jointly developed solutions. The new C50X has 50-inch (1,270 mm)
diagonal display, uses single chip DLP display technology, and has XGA
resolution (1,024 x 768). Both technical and physical properties have been
designed for restricted spaces. Front and rear access and modular design
ensure that installation and maintenance of the unit are swift and
straightforward to carry out, and ongoing image adjustments can be performed
and managed using a motorized engine alignment that is easily controlled via
a remote handset. The C50X can be connected to Synelec’s
Indisys visualization system, the original
high-performance Synelec image digital network. An

16) AV Stumpfl:
Wings Platinum with numerous improvements
The Software
Wings Platinum, by the Austrian manufacturer AV Stumpfl,
is continuously further developed. The new version 2.40 comprises numerous
new features largely focussing on Show Control applications. AV users, on the
other hand, have also been provided with a few "goodies", such as
asynchronous loop playback, time stretching and output of surround sound
tracks as Windows Media Video. Asynchronous loop playback allows a
presentation to be paused while some interval music or background noise is
being continued. Asynchronous video playback is an ideal way of showing
animated background or logos during the interval. However, Wings Platinum
takes this function one step further. Asynchronous video loops allow
interactive and external control of show contents via keypads, motion
detectors or light barriers. This is done by putting asynchronous video
objects into "Auto Mute" mode for the videos to be rendered
invisible when playback is started. They are only played and become visible
after being activated via a trigger or a serial command. The object in the
timeline only defines the time frame for a possible playback and is used for
transparency control. Time stretching is a feature many AV users have been
waiting for. So far, audio objects could be compressed or expanded, but the
pitch was always affected as well. Through audio re-rendering, the time
stretching function ensures that the pitch is not affected so that music and
speech sound normal. This provides for more flexibility in matching sound and
acoustic effects to images and scenes - a particular advantage for videos.
The time stretching function requires the Audio FX/Pro Module, which allows
also sound editing via 17 plug-ins (Equalizer, Compressor, Delay, Stereo
Expander, etc.) and output of sound on up to 24 channels. For some time now,
Wings Platinum has supported output of the widely used WMV format (Windows
Media Video). Version 2.40 now also permits output of WMV multi-channel sound
in 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound. This is a particularly
interesting feature, now that the first HD-DVD players are appearing on the
market. Some of these DVD players already support WMV up to 1920 x 1080
pixels as well as 5.1 audio outputs, thereby turning into high-quality
players suitable for permanent installations. Wings Platinum now uses the
latest version of the MPEG-2 codec by MainConcept.
Among other features, this codec has been modified to support new formats
such as HDV and allows a frame rate of up to 60 frames per second, also for
picture sizes exceeding 1024 x 768 pixels. This provides for softer and more
fluent motion in rendered shows. On the companies Website you find more information
and details. ISE: Stand E 11
