Custom Consoles Reports
Strong Demand
C

ustom Consoles has reported
sustained high demand for
technical furniture across the broadcast
and wider engineering control markets.
The past year alone has included major
projects for RTL City in Luxembourg,
RT's new production studios in
Paris, EVS in Liège, TV3 in Dublin,
Netherlands-based virtual reality
studio Miraga3D and the London
studios of satellite broadcaster Al
Sharqiya. Custom Consoles also
marked its 21st anniversary year with
the introduction of the EditOne-Radio
desk.
"We are seeing growing investment
right across the broadcast media
business as it responds to the
opportunities created by technical
advances such as IP-based interfacing,
4K ultra-high definition, high dynamic
range and IPTV streaming," said
Custom Consoles's Sales Manager Gary
Fuller. "Demand for technical furniture
in the broadcast and independent

studio sectors remains very strong
across Europe, Asia and Australasia.
"By far our largest project in recent
months was for video display walls and
a very large number of studio desks
at the new RTL City building. This
was a greenfield-site development
with technical facilities on three
floors. We designed, manufactured
and installed nearly 50 desks, five
large MediaWall monitor mounting
frames and about 20 standalone
MediaPosts. Our systems integration
partner in the project, Broadcasting
Centre Europe, made a very careful
study of the available furniture
products before choosing Module-R
and EditOne desks," he said.
"We also completed a large-scale
studio furniture project for global
television news network RT. Located
in Paris, this new facility was equipped
with two master control rooms,
engineering and audio control, audio
post-production, two dubbing suites,

Clear-Com's Dynam-EC Real-Time
Intercom Management
C

lear-Com, the leader in real-time
voice communications solutions,
presents Dynam-EC (Dynamic Eclipse
Configurator), an intuitive and powerful
add-on module for Eclipse EHX.
Dynam-EC's highly configurable user
interface with built-in automation
establishes it as the leading solution
for intercom assignment.
Fashioned upon the earlier Production
Maestro Pro, Dynam-EC improves

control room workflow with support
for SIP call management, macro
record/playback and comprehensive
audio monitoring capabilities. It is easy
to use with the multi-user graphical
interface, as well as providing
seamless management of IFBs,
conferences and lines both locally and
across intelligently linked matrices.
Dynam-EC features:
	 *	 Macro record/playback facility

for fast and reliable execution of
repeat command sequences;
	 *	 Real-time management of SIP/
VoIP lines with call setup, monitoring
and fast assignment to internal
intercom resources;
	 *	 Comprehensive
monitoring
facilities
including
assignable
monitors, spot and multi-channel
meters - all from a PC or tablet-based
control surface.

"Establishing
and
maintaining
external comms has always been
one of the most challenging aspects
of live productions," said Peter
Stallard, Senior Product Manager,
Clear-Com. "The new Dynam-EC
application provides operators with
a tailored control surface. Its output
monitoring function is particularly
useful to give operators confirmation
of the final mix, and the new macro
feature facilitates the fast and reliable
changeovers often required during
commercial breaks. Dynam-EC is the
perfect tool for this demanding job."
The Dynam-EC module
for EHX software,
together
with
a
range of Clear-Com's
industry
leading
communications
systems,
will
be
demonstrated at NAB
