AEQ estrenará en IBC su nueva consola digital Atrium

In addition to this console for radio and television broadcasting and production, AEQ will also exhibit Xplorer, a new wireless intercom beltpack for broadcast and multimedia production centers.

From September 13 to 17, AEQ will premiere in IBC 2019 your new Atrium digital audio mixing console.

This digital audio mixer is designed especially for audio production and broadcasting in radio and television, in work environments with greater operational requirements.

Handles up to a thousand local or IP audio channels controllable through one or several surfaces, each with up to more than 90 motorized and pageable faders.

Developed with the operator in mind, it features a great simplicity of operation through a powerful set of touch screens, encoders, indicators and keys, which are pre-configured, and which dynamically adapt their function to the context, avoiding unnecessary steps, and always keeping the precise information in view, so that the operation is simple and safe.

Audio over IP systems allow the inputs and outputs, and the process and control elements, to be distributed in different equipment, sometimes very physically distant. It incorporates tools to develop redundancy capacity at all levels, the storage and instant recovery of scenes, the convergence of physical and virtual control elements, the automation of mixing and level adjustment, the transport of control inputs and outputs through the different equipment of a system...

All these possibilities of the current state of the art generate a new concept in which the sum of the different components develops a combined functionality much superior to that of each component separately.

Each control surface Atrium can be absolutely customized. Thus, classic ways of working can be implemented, for example: each fader can have an A/B configuration, or each channel has direct access to sends to pre-defined buses, or the channels can be defined for bidirectional multiplex so that each user has the mix of all but him. Mixed or very special ways of working can also be configured with flexible key programming to act on the console routing, or controlling external equipment such as routers, audio codecs, broadcast telephone systems, broadcast automation, or intercom systems.

And furthermore, Atrium is very easy to configure and integrate into a system, which already covers not only the production center, but also goes outside to connect to external events, and to other centers, with which a network or audio chain of the necessary size is created.

Xplorer

After its presentation at NAB 2019, AEQ will bring the new Xplorer to IBC for its European premiere, a wireless intercom terminal based on 5 GHz WiFi technology. This solution can be part of a system based on an intercom matrix, or work as a terminal of a Party-Line system without the need for a matrix.

5 GHz WiFi connectivity facilitates the installation, start-up and maintenance of the system, since it is a generic technology implemented throughout the world, and it even allows sharing the existing wireless network. 5 GHz WiFi systems with managed access points can support many hundreds of simultaneous conversations, and develop the “roaming” function that avoids communication interruptions when moving through the entire network of access points.

Xplorer is equipped with a user interface with 4 shortcut keys (x4 pages), mute and menu, with a color TFT multifunction screen, on which, among others, the keys are labeled, the level of each interlocutor, the battery charge level and the WiFi signal level are represented. AEQ supplies this system with open or closed, mono or binaural headsets.

It is also worth noting that Xplorer records and plays back the last 30 seconds of the last call.

He belt pack can work as a client of AEQ Crossnet and Conexia intercom matrices. Xplorer can also work in Party-Line mode, without the need for a central matrix, as a terminal for Kroma's Easynet system, with 4 channels and up to 28 devices.

The belt pack has double volume control to give direct access to adjusting the level of the main interlocutor, differentiating him from the rest. Its dimensions and weight are reduced, it is protected from bumps and splashes, it can be attached to a belt or hung from a ribbon, to be used as a shoulder bag. Its antenna is internal, with high gain. This new AEQ beltpack has a autonomy of more than 20 hours of uninterrupted operation, more than enough for an intense day of work and recharges in a quick-connect multiple base.

In short, the new Xplorer is a reliable, flexible, comfortable to use and robust wireless system to complement all types of intercom systems both in television production and in other professional and industrial environments.

Other solutions

At the AEQ stand at IBC it will also exhibit Systel IP, the multi-conference and broadcast telephony system, with new elements, such as the Systelset+ operator terminal, the Systel IP 16 engine and the Systel IP TV application; portable and rackable audiocodecs Phoenix (Alio, Venus, Stratos and Mercury); digital audio matrices with AoIP Dante/AES67 terminations: BC 2000 D, Netbox 32 MX and Netbox DSP, and AoIP terminals (Netbox 4, Netbox 8 and Netbox 32); digital audio mixing consoles Forum Split y Capitol IP with multi-channel AoIP connectivity and associated control and monitoring systems with touch screen control; sound emission automation systems for broadcast Audioplus (with direct inputs and outputs from PC to AoIP networks with Dante technology); digital intercom systems from 16 x 16 crosspoints to large systems over 1000 x 1000, with IP cabling, Dante protocol, such as Connection and Crossnet which includes a wide range of processed user panels; and commentator systems with Dante AoIP connectivity and intercom system user panel Olympia 3.

under the brand Chrome by AEQ will exhibit in its space at the RAI a complete range of broadcast video monitors (TFT) in sizes from 4 to 46″ even with 4K resolution and in different series for different applications and environments.

Finally, as a result of its alliance with Broadcast Pix, review its visual radio solutions with integration of video production switches with Capitol IP, Forum IP, Arena audio consoles and Netbox interfaces, automating video production.
