Just Add Power, a leader in AV-over-IP distribution, today announced that the company’s new MaxColor™ 4K60 Series received Best of Show honors from Sound & Video Contractor (SVC) magazine at ISE 2022 in Barcelona. Winners were selected based on the merits of innovation and performance with the awards presented during the show.

“While we knew that MaxColor would be another great solution that would immensely expand the advantages of the Just Add Power product lineup, we did not predict the absolutely astounding reception it has received,” said Taft Stricklin, sales team manager at Just Add Power. “Since we announced shipping at the end of March, they’re flying off the shelf. This award is just another indicator and recognition of all the benefits and hard work that went into developing a much-needed distribution solution. Thank you, SVC, for this honor.”

Marshall Debuts Expanded Features for its POV and PTZ Camera Lines

Marshall Electronics, a leading manufacturer of broadcast and proAV cameras and equipment, continues to update and add features to its POV and PTZ camera models with accessory add-ons and easy field-upgradable firmware. These updates are in direct response to customer requirements.

Marshall now offers three levels of Neutral-Density (ND) filters for its IP67-rated CV226 All-Weather Lipstick Camera and CV503-WP All-Weather Miniature HD Camera. In photography and optics, an ND filter reduces or modifies the intensity of all wavelengths, or colors, of light equally, giving no changes in hue of color rendition. It can be a colorless (clear) or grey filter, and is denoted by Wratten number 96, a labeling system for optical filters. The purpose of a standard photographic neutral-density filter is to reduce the amount of light entering the lens. Doing so allows the photographer to select combinations of aperture, exposure and sensor sensitivity that would otherwise produce overexposed video.
