RTW Showcases TM3 Series
R

TW is set to highlight its TM3 and
TM3-Primus series of products
at this year's BroadcastAsia. Also on
display will be RTW's brand new TM3
19-inch RackMount Solution and wellknown TM7/TM9 TouchMonitors with
upgraded firmware.
"We are happy to once again be a
part of the Stagetec Asia booth at this
year's show," says Ulrike Lauterbach,
Director of Sales & Marketing, RTW.
"We have worked tirelessly to update
our products to meet new loudness
implementations
and
customer
standards."
Designed for workstations and
edit suites, the compact TM3

RTW
TM9

TouchMonitors come with a highly
intuitive and user-friendly 4.3-inch
touchscreen interface that allows for
vertical and horizontal operation with
a full set of easy-to-read instruments
for level and loudness metering that
can be preset. The TM3-Primus is
the world's only USB audio monitor
and features RCA-type two-channel
analogue and digital (SPDIF) loudness
and level meters that meet worldwide
standards. With its USB hybrid mode,
operators can visualise and process
DAW metering points directly on the
screen.
The TM3 RackMount Solution
comes in two versions that integrate
easily with either the TM3
TouchMonitor or the TM3Primus TouchMonitor by simply
swapping out the necessary
hardware. The TM3-2U is a
mounting system for RTW's
TM3 series products, including
the TM3, TM3S, TM3-3G
and TM3-3GS. With the
appropriate mount, the TM3Primus may also be used in

this configuration. The TM3-Pri-2U is
the exclusive rackmount for RTW's
TM3-Primus, allowing mounting for
the TM3-Primus into an appropriate
mechanical environment for a
customer installation.
Also on display at BroadcastAsia
will be the latest firmware version for
RTW's TM7/TM9 TouchMonitors. This
firmware offers up to four parallel
instances of the stereo vectorscope,
allowing simultaneous monitoring of
transmission streams. A 12th octave
filter bank has been added to the
RTA (Real Time Analyser) feature set
for an even more refined graduated
frequency distribution analysis. A
custom selected password feature has
also been implemented.
This updated firmware also

supports four-channel operation of
a TouchMonitor, even without the
presence of the multichannel license.
This allows attractive combinations
in operation with RTW's TMR7.
In addition to the new features,
adjustments have been made to
adhere to the recent changes in the
loudness standards around the world.
The new firmware can be installed
into all RTW TM7 and TM9 series
instruments, as well as into TMR7
units. TM7 and TM9 "TC Electronic"
devices can also be updated to benefit
from bug fixes. To access all new
features and functions these devices
must be upgraded with the SW20021
TC Conversion Kit.

ohler
Technologies
is
demonstrating its latest audio
and video monitoring technologies at
BroadcastAsia.
Wohler's IP signal monitoring
solutions include the iAM-MIX
multichannel audio monitor and
mixer, the iAM-AUDIO audio monitor,
and the iAM-VIDEO multichannel audio
and video monitoring and metering
device.
"Wohler Technologies has been in
the business of in-rack monitoring
for more than 25 years and continues
to expand its new award-winning
iAM™ Series in answer to developing
industry standards," says Craig
Newbury, VP of Sales, Wohler.
"We are looking forward to
NAB and having the opportunity
to demonstrate updates to our
innovative monitoring solutions."

All iAM Series monitors incorporate
high-quality hardware with powerful
upgradable software components
combined with an on-board Web
server allowing multiple units on
the same network to be monitored,
controlled and updated via a browserbased user interface and via API calls
from third party connected devices.
All iAM Series products use SFP
slots to enable simple adaptation of
interfaces and a wide selection of
signal I/O. This, in combination with
other
software-defined
features,
creates a smooth upgrade path to new
and emerging audio protocols, such
as Dante and AES67 as they become

relevant to users.
iAM-MIX features
an
ultra-intuitive
front-panel control
surface for multichannel mixing and monitoring, which
is especially ideal for non-technical
operators that require auditory
monitoring from a range of sources.
With eight- or 16-level control out of
the box, iAM-MIX also integrates with
popular A/V routers to push and pull
channel-name data.
The iAM-AUDIO introduces touchpanel interfaces to allow intuitive
command and control of the unit
and new I/O options, including
Dante and Ravenna,
combined with rich
data displays and
Wohler's
worldrenowned audio
monitoring.

up where the iAMiAM-AUDIO

Wohler iAM-VIDEO

AUDIO started and adds extensive
video monitoring. It not only displays
video on a front-panel touchscreen,
but the range of sources it can manage
goes well beyond 3G-SDI. iAM-VIDEO is
equipped to monitor MPEG2/4 TSoIP,
MPEG2/4 TSoASI, Quad-Link UHD/4K,
SMPTE 2022-6 and more.
The overall variety of audio and
video metering options supported
includes analogue, AES3 and MADI
inputs, and includes options for Video
over IP formats (MPEG2/4 TS and
SMPTE 2022), AoIP formats (Dante,
Ravenna, AES67), 3G/HD/SD-SDI and
a growing range of additional I/O
options via an SFP interface. With
both front-mounting speakers and
subwoofers, the iAM Series provides
powerful sound output and audio
reproduction that adheres to Wohler's
own strict specifications.
