Version 9.0 Software Now Available– Here’s What’s New
Broadcast Pix™ is announcing a major new feature rich software release for its entire range of powerful, yet easy-to-use integrated production systems. V9.0 software is now available on all new Broadcast Pix systems, and as a free download to all users with a current support contract.
Apart from the usual bug fixes and minor enhancements, the V9.0 release includes some significant new features, that will benefit all production environments. These updates include the following:
PreSonus Studio One 5.5 Update Delivers New Mastering Tools and More
PreSonus® has released Studio One® 5.5, a major update to its award-winning recording and production software (DAW). Studio One 5.5 adds improvements for production, performance, and especially mastering. The first and still only DAW with an integrated mastering environment, Studio One 5.5’s Project Page is now even more powerful.
The number one user feature request for the Project Page is now available. With Studio One 5.5, the Project Page now provides full track volume, master volume and insert-effects plug-in parameter automation. Write automation in real-time, using a mouse or hardware controller, or by using the powerful Paint Tool. Clip Gain Envelopes have also been added to the Project Page, enabling you to precisely fix gain issues while mastering, without using dynamics plug-ins. Use the new Listen Bus on the Project Page to monitor through your favorite room-correction plug-ins or headphone monitoring tools without affecting the Master output. Free up processing power for complex mastering chains without losing the ability to make adjustments later using Track Transform. It’s all new in Studio One 5.5 Professional.
Marshall Introduces CV605-U3 USB-C PTZ Camera With IP
Marshall Electronics, a leading manufacturer of broadcast and proAV cameras and equipment, has taken ease-of-use to the next level with the unveiling of its USB-based CV605-U3 PTZ Camera with USB-C, IP (Ethernet) and HDMI connectivity.
The CV605-U3 PTZ Camera offers flexible output options with USB-C and IP for video conference, collaboration and streaming. HDMI opens a wide range of options with HDMI monitoring or switching workflows, and IP (H.265/H.264) provides an easy one-cable to camera setup and operation. Certified by Zoom, the CV605-U3 can operate seamlessly within a Zoom Room infrastructure. It starts with a wide-angle 85° AOV with ultra-low distortion and high-quality video, which sets the standard much higher at this price point.

This fixture provides a beautiful, wide source of soft and precise colors, plus a full range of calibrated white presets with 28K resolution, from tungsten to daylight, reaching an outstanding quality of light, with high CRI, TLCI, and TM-30 values.
MSolutions Broadens AV Focus for ISE 2022
MSolutions, a leading supplier of AV test devices and collaboration solutions, comes to ISE 2022 with a wider scope of AV solutions that brings greater focus to the collaboration room. Along with new innovations for its portable, all-in-one MS-TestPro AV test device, MSolutions will unveil a range of PTZ cameras and signal extenders built for meeting and learning spaces of all sizes. MSolutions will exhibit at 2P200.
MSolutions still has the entire AV industry in mind when it comes to systems integration. That makes the MS-TestPro (MS104B) the star of the show once again for ISE2022, with exciting twists that preview how MSolutions will evolve its portfolio to serve its fastest-growing verticals.
Column Line Array Loudspeaker, the new Voice-Acoustic VENIA Series
Voice-Acoustic, German manufacturer of high-quality sound reinforcement systems brings line array physics to a compact column format with the VENIA series. The new series consists of two full-range models: the passive VENIA-6 (4x 6.5″ and 3x 1″) and the bi-amped high-performance column array VENIA-8 (4x 8″ and 4x 1″), which impresses with 140dB sound pressure at only 35kg weight.
The high-frequency drivers are each coupled to a line array waveguide and produce a dispersion angle of 100° horizontally and 0°/-20° vertically via a large horn. The HF section of the VENIA series provides a vertically asymmetrical sound pressure coverage with a plane wavefront. The principle of larger line arrays is transferred to the VENIA loudspeakers in a compact column format: the high-frequency energy is bundled to cover longer distances and the near filed is covered by curving with a lower energy content distributed to a larger area. The result is a very balanced level distribution across the entire listening area with very homogeneous sound distribution.
Royer Labs Announces dBooster2 Two-Channel Signal Booster & DI
Royer Labs, a leading manufacturer of high-quality ribbon microphones, is pleased to announce its second generation in-line signal booster, the dBooster2. In addition to being an exceptional phantom powered signal booster and impedance buffer for both ribbon and dynamic microphones, the second generation dBooster2 offers independent 2-channel functionality and doubles as a DI to accommodate signal levels for electric guitar, bass, and other unbalanced guitar level sources. With both channels having the ability to serve as an in-line signal booster, a DI, or one channel of each—the dBooster2 makes an outstanding choice for miking low volume sound sources, recording direct to a DAW interface, interfacing with long cable runs to maintain audio quality, or as a DI.
When used as a signal booster, both channels of the dBooster2 increase the level of passive low-output ribbon and dynamic microphones with minimum distortion or coloration. Created for professional applications, the dBooster2’s input stages are designed like the front end of a high-end microphone preamplifier, and you can hear it. Each dBooster2 channel offers two levels of clean gain boost: 12dB or 20dB in Mic Mode, selectable by a front panel switch. The dBooster2’s Class A input presents a high source impedance to microphones, minimizing loading (damping) and improving headroom. By utilizing the 12/20dB gain switch, optimum balance between gain and headroom can be achieved.
Introducing American Audio’s New APX CS8 Column PA System with Bluetooth True Wireless Stereo
Comprising of an active subwoofer enclosure with an 8-inch driver, a column speaker with four 2.5” neodymium drivers, and two column spacers, the APX CS8 is a versatile AC powered PA system which can be used in a variety of configurations. The column speaker can be connected directly to the sub, creating a very compact full range PA setup which measures just 36.1” (916.6mm) from the ground. Alternatively, one or both of the spacers can be used to lift up the top of the column speaker to a height of 54.6” (1386.6mm) or 73.1” (1856.6mm), respectively. The spacers feature a proprietary connection system, which allows them to lock easily and securely in place, with the audio signal passed through the spacers from the sub to the column speaker meaning that no cable is required.
A class-D amplifier system is built into the sub enclosure, which has a power output of 100W RMS. This drives both the sub-woofer and column speaker array, generating well-balanced audio reproduction that is suitable both for live and recorded music. For smaller venues, a single APX CS8 is ideal for vocal performers, background music or speech amplification. Meanwhile, for larger spaces, two systems can be used simultaneously to create a stereo PA system for live music or DJ performances.
C2G Boosts USB Signals With New USB-C Extender Transmitter to Receiver Kits
C2G is now offering USB-C Extender Transmitter to Receiver Kits for classrooms, conference rooms, and huddle spaces needing an innovatively simple yet powerful solution for extending USB signals beyond their native 16.4-foot length limitation.
“Almost every laptop and mobile device available now utilizes at least one USB-C port, making USB-C near ubiquitous in education and corporate applications,” said Jennifer Crotinger, product Manager, C2G, a brand of Legrand. “However, users often need that signal to go much farther than USB-C allows. Our new kits provide a high-quality, easy-to-install solution.”
