This dramatic-looking offering from digiLED, the product manufacturing arm of international screen specialist displayLED, was first previewed at InfoComm in the USA this June.
Offering a full video pixel slice with some very practical as well as innovative and creative properties, LightSlice was designed in the UK using Japanese components and assembled in Korea.
In its native form the slice's 10mm pixel pitch allows a true 10mm display surface. But the product really comes into its own when creating variable pitch displays with video effects and organic shapes to complement highly creative stage and set designs.

The transferable warranty extension, launched to coincide with the first day of this year's BPM / Pro Show, will apply to all products purchased from 13 September 2014 onwards.
Commenting on the introduction of this extended warranty, Stuart Thomson, CUK Audio managing director said, "To demonstrate our confidence in dB Technologies' products we have extended the manufacturer's warranty to five years and we have taken this one step further by making the warranty transferrable. This protects the users investment and should they choose to sell the products at a later date, they can do so with the remaining warranty intact. It will mean a higher re-sale price and therefore more money for reinvesting in the latest dB Technologies equipment.
With its complete line-up of DSP project solutions, Canada-based Xilica has established a strong global platform, with its products installed across a huge range of applications including houses of worship, hotels, conference centres, theme parks, sports facilities and recording studios,.

Unveiled at the PRO Show in Birmingham, England, the Sniper is a revolutionary hybrid beam, scanner and laser simulator in one. Emitting a powerful, precise and ultra-narrow 3° beam, a high-speed X/Y scan and Z rotation mirror system allows the Sniper to spread laser-like effects including liquid sky, laser wave, and laser cone effects, all moving at speeds never seen before. What's more, Sniper allows these effects to be projected and "scanned" into the crowd and without the hassle of laser regulations.

Launched with the CL series digital mixing consoles in 2012, Yamaha's Rio3224-D and Rio1608-D i/o units were followed in 2013 by the Ri8-D and Ro8-D, all delivering outstanding sonic performance and flexibility for Dante-based audio systems.
Scheduled to be available in late 2014, the new RMio64-D enhances this legacy further by allowing audio from a CL/QL live sound (or other Dante-equipped) system, to be converted to MADI and fed to an OB vehicle or other recording facility. Alternatively, it can allow a MADI-based console to be easily integrated into a Nuage system for post-production.
Word clock synchronisation can be an issue when convertin
The short shotgun microphone is powered by a single AA battery and connects to cameras with an unbalanced stereo 3.5mm TRS jack. Aware of the challenges of recording high quality audio in demanding, often fast-moving situations, Audio-Technica has also equipped the AT8024 with a low cut filter to reduce low frequency rumble and -10dB and -20dB pad settings to minimise the chance of overloading the camera's audio input.
Switchable mono or stereo operation extends the new microphone's flexibility. Additionally, the AT8024 features an integrated shockmount and foam windscreen with wind muff.

The feedback alert allows to check in real time if there is any signal peak on a specific frequency. This warning is visible through the lighting of the LED that belongs to the detected frequency. The system adds a general sensitivity adjustment control in order to hit the right frequency value in the hypothetical case of feedback detection on adjacent frequencies; thereby, the user is warned with greater accuracy about the feedback point and is able to modify the response curve removing the one-time feedback.
In addition to this main feature, WEQ 231 adds features that are usually incorporated in this kind of device, such as high-pass and low-pass filters, the possibility of adj
