Trending For BVE 2016
Contributing Editor Kieron Seth examines
the role of the trade show, trending topics,
and the upcoming event BVE in London...

any have tried online trade
events - most have failed. Many
an observer has prophesied the death
of the traditional exhibition, but large
scale shows are still a fundamental
part of the marketing budget. Industry
experts have forecasted the rise of the
pan-regional events at the expense of
the national show, but shows, such as
BVE in London, demonstrate that there
are regional events enjoying good
growth and strong audiences.
HDR
Events like BVE often mirror
trends, rather than set the agenda.
For Fujinon, this means a focus
on 4K optical technology in a HDR
environment - a theme that caught fire
at IBC2015. As the manufacturer points
out, 2/3" 4K production cameras are
able to generate a very high dynamic
range, displaying increased vividness
in colours with higher resolution
and contrast in comparison to their
predecessors.

High-Transmittance Electron Beam
Coating glass

Fujinon has responded with the
development of several new lenses
able to display the cameras' full
potential and in some cases enhance
the captured image quality to a
degree which had not been possible
in the past. Next generation Fujinon
lenses use new materials, while light
transmittance has been increased by
applying new electron beam coating
materials and faster F-Stop numbers.

a founding member of the AIMS,
Grass Valley will be promoting the
establishment of open standards that
will integrate seamlessly into current
workflows. The association's initial
focus is on promoting the adoption,
standardisation, development and
refinement of open protocols for
media over IP.
"With the IP transition, thanks to the
collaborative work already done in
SMPTE and VSF, our industry has the
opportunity to avoid the mistakes of
the past where multiple proprietary
approaches were adopted, adding cost
and complexity for everyone - such as
in the tape and file format wars of a
decade ago," says Mike Cronk, Senior
Vice President of Strategic Marketing,
Grass Valley.
Audio
Emerging's emphasis is on audio
monitoring. The company will be
showing the new Trinnov Audio
D-Mon Digital Integrated Monitoring
Processors, with Optimizer room
correction and the X-Mon replacement
for an AVID Pro Tools system. The
D-Mon features the Trinnov Optimizer
at its core, providing the user with
the ability to have perfectly tuned
speakers and an accurate listening
environment.
As part of Avid's third party
program, the D-Mon Series has been
developed primarily to meet the Eucon
protocol specifications to provide Avid
Pro Tools users with a comprehensive
alternative to the X-Mon analogue
processor for the S6, S5, S3 control
surfaces, and is also backwards
compatible supporting Icon, D-Control
and D-Command.
The D-Mon interfaces with any DAW
studio and acts as a console centre
section offering the user a number of
features including switching, routing,
summing, assigning inputs to cue,
stem mixes, sends for fold back,
listen and talk back feeds. The D-Mon
is offered as a complete monitoring
solution for the modern post or music
studio.

IP
Another emerging theme and one
that is likely to dominate the debate
for the next decade is IP production.
At BVE, Grass Valley will be following
up the announcement that it has
joined the Alliance for IP Media
Solutions (AIMS), a body that
has been formed to ensure
complete
