Dear newsletter readers!

 

This issue of www.AVP-Newsletter.com presents you with latest news from the data- and video projection / presentation.

 

 

1)      lifestyle media at photokina takes shape

From September 26 to October 1, visitors to "lifestyle media at photokina" will be able to learn about the many ways in which audiovisual signals can be linked and controlled in the home. This section of the World of Imaging will be part of the Audiovisual Presentation and Communication Technology area in the new Hall 9. At the heart of "lifestyle media" will be a presentation area that realistically depicts everyday living spaces while incorporating lifestyle-oriented technologies designed to meet the needs of today's consumers. Koelnmesse has attracted several renowned partners for this activity section of the trade fair. COMM-TEC and Panasonic will be contributing their expertise to the area in the center of Hall 9 measuring over 1,000 sqm. The platform was created by Koelnmesse in cooperation with COMM-TEC and Panasonic in response to the rapidly growing consumer demand for products and solutions for the "smart" home. Divided into different living spaces (such as the living room, bedroom, study and kitchen), "lifestyle media" will present realistic multimedia applications that can be networked in the home. Professional presenters will guide visitors through these areas and demonstrate the systems in a lively, interactive way, and visitors will also be able to try out the systems for themselves. The space will be devoted to all aspects of the image as a visual interface so that visitors can find out just what possibilities are opened up by the networking of today's building technology with state-of-the-art communication, information and entertainment technology. The "lifestyle media" exhibition area will be located around the activity area. Registrations have already been received from lifestyle technology companies that have not typically exhibited at photokina to date, including Bosch-Siemens (household appliances), AMX (control units for building and media technology), Klafs (wellness and saunas), and Ritto (door intercom systems).

15)  Screen-Tech: acrylic 3D front projection panel

Apart from the rear projection screens that all suitable for 3D projections, Screen Tech now also offers a display for 3D front projections (passive 3D). Hence, Screen Tech, specialist for acrylic front- and rear projection screens has now completed its portfolio. Until recently only silver screen were used for 3D front projections. But those screens were not ideal due to its high gain and its sensitivity. The new ST power screen 3D offers an absolutely plane and non-reflective surface that is also washable and scratch resistant. It also enables an almost 100% disappearance of polarized light at a low hot-spot and brilliant images. Naturally, the screen is also suitable for other projections that don’t require 3D. It is a true alternative to former high gain materials. Screen Tech offers a 10 year warranty on optic qualities. In addition, the screens are available in any size up to a maximum of 2030 x 1540 mm, optionally with matted black aluminum frame (33 x 16 mm) which makes it easy to hang.

25)  Sierravideo: Sequoia Router at Charlotte Dpt

Sierra Video Systems is pleased to announce the use of their products at the Charlotte Department of Transportation. When the Charlotte Department of Transportation (CDOT) needed to facilitate traffic during a street constructions phase, they set up a camera monitoring system. Capturing video of the streets and traffic light patterns, the cameras linked to a small router in the CDOT’s headquarters. When the Charlotte police department wanted to monitor accidents and other city incidents, CDOT shared their network and helped create a police observation center. The system currently includes 96 cameras throughout the city, on freeways and interstates, side streets, parks, and airport towers, to name a few. Fiber optic cables connect back to the Sequoia router in the control center, and video signals are sent to various displays for monitoring. The system also has storage capacity for up to 64 cameras so that police videos can be searched and archived as needed.
