Story Highlights
For the first time, the AES Convention and the NAB New York show are co-locating for a unified show at New York City's Javits Center Oct. 19-20.
The annual NAB Show New York returns to the Jacob Javits Center after two years of pandemic absence. Its pro-audio counterpart, the AES, similarly suspended its in-person conclaves in 2020 and 2021, replacing them with virtual events.
Both events expect modest turnouts. NAB, for example, expects about 8,000 attendees and more than 230 exhibitors (including 32 first-time exhibitors), vs. 13,800 attendees and 300 exhibitors in 2019, the last time the show was held in person.
The tenor of this show will no doubt be different from the past, with parts availability being a constant challenge [for] introducing new products as well as supplying current ones, says Joel Guilbert, technology development manager, Dale Pro Audio. We're looking forward to showing some interesting products that will inspire conversation about the future of audio.
Here's a look at some of the audio treats scheduled to be on display.
Calrec Argo mixing system
Calrec (Booth AES 418) will give its brand-new Argo mixing system its U.S. debut at AES NY. Launched at IBC in September, Argo is an IP audio mixing system and marks new approach to live mixing with an emphasis on adapting to different production needs. Argo has interchangeable modular hardware panels, can be located in geographically diverse locations, and is built around Calrec's cloud-accessible Assist user interface. This means the user interface is the same whether you are working on physical hardware panels or on a remote GUI. Available in two frame sizes, Argo Q has two mid-level rows of interchangeable panels, and the compact Argo S has one mid-level row. Each console uses software templates to adapt the hardware panels to different user preferences. Argo is built on Calrec's existing ImPulse IP core, so the processing core and control surface are not tied to any physical location. ImPulse can power up to four independent mix environments, including Calrec's Assist headless mixer, which can be accessed over the public internet and provides access to more than 2,350 processing paths on a single console.
Clear-Com's (Booth AES 628) V-Series IrisX panel will make its U.S. debut. The new panel expands the capabilities of the original V-Series Iris panel, delivering new thin-film-transistor (TFT) displays for increased brightness and better resolution combined with the V-Series Iris's lower latency and increased port capacity. IrisX fits into IP-based productions with AES67 connectivity and dual-NIC connections. IrisX will also take advantage of role-based workflows, a new feature in EHX 13 that is unique in the industry and will be shown at the booth.
Clear-Com Arcadia Central Station, now with HelixNet digital-network partyline integration, will be showcased as well. The scalable IP intercom platform integrates HelixNet and Clear-Com Encore intercom user stations with FreeSpeak digital wireless solutions. Additional built-in connectivity allows third-party intercom, two-way radios, and Dante devices to be managed in a single system. Arcadia's scalability allows it to meet numerous production need: offering support for more than 100 beltpacks and configurations for 16 ports up to 128 IP ports as needed, the station can accommodate a wide range of applications.
Lawo .edge hyper-density SDI/IP conversion and routing platform
Making its New York debut is Lawo's (Booth AES 521) .edge hyper-density SDI/IP conversion and routing platform, a drop-in SDI router replacement. Each rear-panel I/O blade provides 48 HD-BNC connectors for SD/HD/3G/UHD SDI interfacing, resulting in 192 SDI/IP conversions in just 2RU. .edge has full support for the SMPTE ST 2110 suite of standards, as well as ST 2022-7 redundancy, and it also works natively within the Lawo HOME environment.
Additions to the available feature set for A__UHD Core and mc consoles include signal-ownership groups for arbitrating shared network resources and health monitoring, featuring status displays of critical-system errors, warnings, and notifications displayed in the HOME and mc user interfaces.
Lawo's new diamond broadcast console can be customized to fit any operational scenario from 2-fader production booths to massive 60-fader MCR installations. with a versatile Virtual Extension touchscreen control option.
And the new Audio I/O Extender (AIOX) for the Power Core mixing engine provides in 1RU up to eight additional I/O card slots that can deliver up to 64 additional channels of I/O. As many as 20 AIOX units can connect to one Power Core, providing a massive 1,280 total additional analog or digital-audio inputs and outputs, plus GPIO.
Pliant Technologies CCU-8
Pliant Technologies (Booth NAB 1216) will be showing the new CCU-08 CrewCom Control Unit, which enables users to use up to eight 4-wire ports and retains all the same features of the current companion CCU-22 and CCU-44 products. The CCU-08 allows up to eight 4-wire intercom connections working simultaneously, permitting large-scale deployments. The latest CrewCom firmware update includes the recently released High Density mode, as well as support for the new CCU-08. Additionally, enhancements in the latest update includes faster configuration file (CCF) upload speeds and a new Radio Pack paired list that allows the user to view and manage, in a single software location, a list of all Radio Packs paired to each Control Unit.
The new High Density mode for both CrewCom and CrewCom CB2 wireless intercom systems will also be shown. Hi
