The Bridge Router canhold all the electronics you'llneed for a small console: I/Ocards, mix engines, and DSPprocessors. Naturally it canalso have automatic fail -overDSP and CPU cards to keep

you on -air. You can expand thesystem with a simple cage -to -

cage interconnect.

It's not just a Digital Console,IT'S AN ENTIRE AUDIO INFRASTRUCTURE

YOU CAN START with a simple AES router with analog and digital inputs andoutputs. From there you can add logic I/O cards and scheduling software; you can

link multiple master bridge cages together to achieve thousands and thousands ofI/O ports; you can create a custom system that includes multiple smaller remote

satellite cages- with everything interconnected via CATS or fiberoptic links.BUT THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING: you can also add mix engine cards, interface

to your automation system; you can choose from two different WHEATSTONE seriescontrol surfaces (D-5.1 or 0-9) , each specially configured for production room, on -

air or remote truck applications. We also provide a full complement of Ethernetprotocol remote router control panels, as well as a complete family of plug-in

modules that interface the routing system to existing Wheatstonedigital and analog standalone consoles.

The D-9 isCompact yet Powerful:It can route, generate and monitor 5.1surround signals and produce simultaneous 5.1 andstereo master signals for your dual broadcast chain.The console also provides extensive, rapid communicationpaths throughout your entire Bridge system. Motorizedfaders and control setting storage and recall make show -to -show transitions fast, easy and accurate.

Announcing a breakthrough in media ingest and transfer: New Digital Ingest from Harris.Yes, our guy Phil was pretty excited about the whole Digital Ingest thing. But now it's your turn to discover the latest Innovation from

Harris, the leader in broadcast technology. Digital Ingest completely automates your front-end media ingest and transfer process,

whether you're talking about a single facility or a whole enterprise. Until

hrs harris resource suite now, when digital media was acquired from delivery services - such asFOR INGEST -TO -BROADCAST WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT Media DVX or DG Systems - distribution throughout the broadcast

facility required manual transfer to tape and video file servers. All of that has changed. Now, with Digital Ingest - part of the HarrisResource Suite - you eliminate the error -prone busy work of manually entering metadata, give your operation virtual "real time"ingest-to-playout (great for those last-minute, gotta -get -this -on -the -air requests), and better allocate your engineering resources.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with your Media Client station, Digital Ingest has intelligent and customizable "rules" to adaptworkflow processes to your operation. Plus, (as Phil will proudly tell you), Digital Ingest includes Workflow Process Manager (WPM) - anintegrated software module that allows the system to manage automated and manual tasks and processes. With Digital Ingest, you can

even search, browse, and approve content from desktops anywhere in your enterprise (your Program Manager will love you).

So go ahead. Make Phil happy. Call about Digital Ingest today.

NAB04: What attendees thinkBy Brad Dick, Editorial Director

AT NAB, I quickly become an "expert?' Howdo I know that? Because literally everyone asksme what I think is the hottest thing at theshow, what's drawing all the attention, howmany attendees are there and a whole bunchof other questions that don't matter. For somereason, exhibitors and attendees believe,

perhaps not without some justification, thatby the time the NAB convention opens, I'vealready read, seen or at least heard about everynew product, trend, development and technol-ogy demonstration that's at the show.

Truth is, I'm not the expert. At least not inthe sense that I know all of the above.

However, over the days, I'm involved in alot of interviews, press conferences and meet-ings. These events get me one-on-one access tothe real experts in broadcast and productiontechnology - the engineers and directors atthe companies that make the technology youuse in your facilities. These are the people arethe real experts. All I do is sort through what

I'm told, trying to make some sense of it all.Sure, I can understand the basics of how it

works, just like you do. But my goal isn't toknow as much as Broadcast Engineering'saverage reader probably does about companyX's new video server or company Y's newMPEG-4 encoder, it's to get a 20,000 -footviewpoint of the products and technologiesI'm introduced to. The advantage I therefore

have is a lot of information from a lot ofsources fed to me over five days. This, com-bined with the hundreds of new productreleases I've read and worked on while devel-oping the March and April issues of themagazine, gives me a pretty good idea oftrends and themes of the show.

This year, instead of just givingyou my viewpoint on what's hot atthe show, we decided to let ourreaders tell us what they found mostinteresting. Because of the largenumber of new products containedin this issue, there isn't space for allthe research. A complete presenta-tion of the data and summary isavailable atwww.broadcastengineering.corn.

With that, let's see what theyfound.

Attendees viewpointWe contracted with a survey

company to conduct on -site at-tendee interviews in various loca-tions throughout the show. Coupled

with an after -show e-mail survey form, we'vedeveloped some insightful data on what theattendees saw and liked.

Here are some ofthose thoughts.

The survey askedattendees for whatthey found mostinteresting at theshow. After the datawas tabulated, it wassearched for com-mon terms. One ofthe technologiesmentioned most

often was HD. Manycomments focused onthe improved imagequality from earlier andthe broader range ofproducts. Right behindthe number of HDmentions was the phraseHDV. Attendees see thisas an affordable high -definition system. They

said it could be used in smaller markets, fornews and for lower -cost productions.

The most commonly mentioned technol-ogy was Panasonic's P2. Number one readerjustification for mentioning the P2 technologywas "no moving parts?' Funny, no one used thephrase "Tape is dead," but clearly, this surveyshows that attendees see solid-state recordingas more than just another format.

All I want from NABO4 is....

Audio accessories 30.0Audio consoles 25.2Automation 18.3Cameras/lenses 28.3Graphics/animation 20.9Microphones 24.5Microwave/FO/telco 20.4Production switchers/effects 22.2Recording media 22.0Facility support 14.3Satellite equipment 15.0TBC/frame sync 21.9Test and measurement 28.7Video routing 25.5Video editing 35.5Video storage 34.5Wire/cable 31.7

Figure 1. Data shows a relatively highpercentage of NAB2004 attendeesplan to purchase equipment in 2004.Numbers represent percent respond-ing "yes" to the above equipmentpurchase categories.

Sony's XDCAM was highly visible too. Itwas interesting that the comments aboutXDCAM often focused on its ability to im-prove the production workflow. This is adifferent benefit from no moving parts.

Also high on the most interesting list wasApple's Final Cut Pro. Professionals now seethe product as solving many of their NLEneeds - and at a price that many can afford.Apple's storage network, Xsan, was also oftenmentioned too.

While it's fun to read the comments in thesurvey, we also wanted to get some quantifieddata on planned purchases. See Table 1 forsome of the equipment attendees said theywould be buying in 2004.

So, my summary viewpoint is that theindustry is back on the upswing, and it's abouttime. You can quote me on this...Happ(ier)days are here again

ID15 Years of Excellence

Thinking Blue?Join the Club!

Here's what some of our Club Members say ..."We outfitted six of our news cameras with the ENDURA Systemand the photojournalists love them. They can't believe the amount ofruntime they get before needing a recharge .... Needless to say theoverall light weight is a plus as well. The only gripe I've heard is thecrews using the old battery system want to know when they aregetting ENDURA's".

Mark Schaefer, Director of EngineeringWFLA-TV

"We are pleased with the power to weight ratio and reliable perfor-mance of the IDX Lithium Ion batteries. The quality of their productsand exceptional service and support we get from IDX, gives us thebest return on our investment".

Peter Larson, Vice PresidentBroadcast Sports Technology

"While compact and amazingly lightweight, the IDX ENDURASystem has proved itself completely durable with tremendousholding power. I have taken IDX ENDURA batteries into extremelydifficult environments for commercials, features, anddocumentaries...the batteries have performed flawlessly."

THE XDCAM SYSTEM. AN INNOVATION THAT

COMPLETELY REDEFINES THE WAY WE WORK.

Finish faster with Proxy AN

After decades of recording on tape, professionals are discovering the sweeping

significance of the XDCAM- Professional Disc- system.

XDCAM recording redefines "speed," with the ability to edit in the camcorder. Not to

mention the power of the proxy. A frame -accurate low -resolution copy of your material,

proxy A/V is an incredible tool for browsing, editing and transferring your footage virtually

anywhere. Across the studio or across the world. You can rush proxy into an editor at

up to 50x real time. So your office staff can start editing even before the disc arrives!

The XDCAM system redefines "video" by recording your clips as MXF data files,

inherently friendly to IT networks and IT storage. Use your PC to browse the contents of

an XDCAM disc located on another continent. Then transfer just the clips you need

across the data network. Your workflow efficiency goes way up. Your cost of ownership

goes way down.

And XDCAM recording redefines "robust" with a laser transport that resists bumps,

jolts, shocks, temperature swings and humidity. The laser transport is so robust, it's

protected by Sony's 7 -year "Powertrain" warranty. (See actual warranty for details).

There's so much more to the story. You'll be amazed by the revolutionary, affordable,

reusable Professional Disc media. You'll choose from DVCAM- or MPEG IMX® codecs,

shooting in interlace, progressive or 24PsF. You'll command multi -megabytes of metadata.

And you'll leverage a world of compatible products from leading manufacturers.

You owe it to yourself to experience this powerful innovation. XDCAM. Here and Now.

NETWORK TECHNOLOGY

BREAKTHROUGH FOR

ROUTERS

Pro -Bel has announced the development of Sirius

Fusion, a new concept in signal distribution thatcombines the flexibility of the network with theeconomics of the crosspoint.

Pro-Bel's Fusion technology is a hybrid solutionwhere multiple crosspoint routers can be con-nected together by a robust and

deterministic network. The first implementationof this concept is Sirius Fusion. An extension tothe already powerful Sirius router range, theFusion technology adds audio connectivity viaATM using the AES47 standard. Signals can berouted in real time between multiple routers usingnetwork -based tie -lines. This technology pro-vides clear advantages in terms of the distanceover which those signals can be carried and thenumber of signals that can be carried

over a single connection.

Neil Maycock, chief technology officer, says,

"For many years now the use of networks inplace of routing switchers has been

predicted, however the economics have neverquite added up. We see Fusion as providing ourcustomers with the best of both worlds and whencombined with the existing flexibility of Sirius,Pro -Bel has a uniquely powerful solution."

ADVANCED NEWPICTURE MONITORJOIN VUTRIX RAM.*

The brand new VX range significantly extendsthe number of input formats provided as

standard and introduces the innovative VX Box.This accommodates the processing electronicscommon to the various screen sizes and ispackaged in a removable rear section.

The monitors, which range from 15" to 40" areall high resolution, high brightness,

wide-angle types and are ideally suited to thedemanding broadcast environment. All SDtypes support composite, Y/C, analog

component, SDI, DVI and extended VGA inputswhile the HDTV versions additionally acceptHD -SDI. A re -formatted SDI output from thestandard definition types provides an outputconverted from any of the television inputs,optionally cropped and bordered. In addition tocomprehensive picture controls and a numberof further options, the displays are equippedwith onscreen embedded audio presence

indicators, stereo audio line outputs,safe area indication and adjustable audio

delay of up to four seconds.

Pro -Bel has announced the full launch of Morpheus, a

revolutionary, fourth generation automation system. Takingautomated playout back to the drawing board,

Pro -Bel has designed an architecture that not only supportsadvanced playout of conventional content, but a wide range ofmulti -media and data -based material.

At the core of Morpheus is the Media Ball - concept, a newtechnology allowing complex sequences of events to bepackaged together, instantly providing a simple presentationfor the operator and easy manipulation within a schedule.Media Ball also facilitates the introduction of enhancedcontent to operations where the business and traffic systemsmay not natively support the new types of material or

programming.

Morpheus brings new levels of intelligence to the sharing ofplayout devices and transmission resources betweenchannels, using sophisticated management software. Devicescan be allocated to playout streams manually or automaticallyaccording to user -defined parameters.

Device usage i:: tl

scheduling conflicts are instantly reported and

centrally managed across multiple channels.

Morpheus is based on a Microsoft.Net backbone which isused to provide network resilience and automatic failoverin the event of hardware or network problems. Morpheussupports Pro -Bet's powerful master control system

allowing manual intervention of a running schedule byoperators directly manipulating the mixer desk and havingtheir actions reflected in the automation schedule.
