Magewell to Highlight New Capture, Conversion, and Streaming Solutions at IBC2022

Video interface and IP workflow innovator Magewell is excited to be gearing up for the long-awaited, in-person return of Europe’s preeminent professional media and entertainment technology exhibition. Appearing in stand 7.A40 at IBC2022 from September 9 to 12 in Amsterdam, the company will showcase capture, conversion, and streaming solutions that seamlessly bridge signals, software, streams, and screens.

Magewell’s video I/O and IP media solutions have become even more crucial for video production and broadcast professionals as they increasingly deploy new remote production models and streaming-centric workflows. Demonstrations of new and recent solutions will include:

Artel Video Systems to Demo SMART Media Delivery Platform, the Ultimate in IP Networking Flexibility, at IBC2022

Artel Video Systems, a world-class provider of innovative, real-time multimedia delivery solutions, today announced its product highlights for IBC2022 in Amsterdam. On Stand 1C99, the company will feature products that simplify broadcasters’ shift to hybrid IP/SDI and all-IP operations. Visitors can get hands-on demonstrations of the SMART Multimedia Delivery Platform in DigiLink/InfinityLink configurations and the award-winning SMART Multimedia Delivery Platform in openGear® (SMART OG).

“While IP networking opens up a world of possibility for innovative new broadcast workflows, it’s also inherently more complicated than traditional networking. Relying on purpose-built hardware that is not reprogrammable, means broadcasters have the expensive and time-consuming task of swapping out hardware every time they need to change functionality,” said Rafael Fonseca, Vice President of Product Management at Artel Video Systems. “Our modular, software-defined systems counteract that problem. At IBC2022, broadcasters will see how Artel products can greatly increase operational flexibility and reduce effort as they transition to IP and move to optimize their IP-based operations and workflows.”

POST Houston Relies on BenQ’s High Brightness Large Venue and Simulation Laser Projectors

BenQ, an internationally renowned provider of visual display solutions, today announced that its high-lumen BlueCore laser projectors are installed at POST Houston, the former USPS-headquarters-turned-mixed-use venue in downtown Houston that opened in November 2021. Ten 8,000-lumen BenQ LU9715 BlueCore laser projectors were chosen for the venue’s 4,000-square-foot and 10,000-square-foot art galleries, which feature a revolving selection of contemporary art and video streaming programming.

“Artists are creating with video, film, audio, and computer-based technologies, so they need really powerful projectors to accurately depict their work,” said Christine Starkman, art curator for POST Houston. “They won’t use anything below 8,000 lumens. They also need that level to hold the wall in our galleries. BenQ’s laser projectors have continued to exceed our artists’ expectations.”

BenQ, an internationally renowned provider of visual display solutions, today announced the release of its new BenQBoard RM03 Series 4K UHD interactive displays for hybrid classrooms and distance learning. The 65″ RM6503, 75″ RM7503, and the 86″ RM8603 smart boards are designed to be an intuitive learning hub that allows teachers to start, manage, and create lessons directly from the display. They feature BenQ’s health-centric ClassroomCare® technology that includes the industry’s only antimicrobial touchscreen and pens to help prevent the spread of germs, EZWrite 6 intuitive collaboration software, InstaShare 2 wireless screen sharing, and IT and administration management tools such as AMS, X-Sign Broadcast digital signage software, and OTA updates.

The RM03 Series is the result of that continuous commitment, delivering the classroom’s most robust, intuitive, and feature-rich display yet at a price that allows schools to complete upgrades much faster than projected.”
