Sennheiser's EK 6042 is a truediversity, two-channel receiver that
can work with both analogue and
digital Sennheiser transmitters across
a bandwidth of 184 MHz. It is an ideal
partner for Sennheiser's top-of-therange Digital 9000 series and can
operate with all analogue transmitters
that feature Sennheiser's HiDyn plus
or HDX companders. The receiver will
become available in spring 2016.
"This is a true 'one-for-all receiver,"
says Tobias von Allwörden, Product

Manager, Sennheiser Broadcast &
Media. "It works with any Sennheiser
series from Digital 9000, 5000 and
3000 down to 2000 and evolution
wireless G3, and automatically
identifies the transmitter via an IR
link."
The camera receiver chooses its
own operating mode depending on
the transmitter, and also selects the
appropriate bandwidth and frequency
in the UHF range between 470 and 654
MHz. As a true diversity receiver with

Media Links' To Show
Live 4K Transport

M

edia Links will be showing a 4K
over IP transport workflow from
a live camera feed at CCW 2015.
Media Links solutions available
today bring powerful benefits to 4K
live productions. Utilising its MD8000
media-over-IP transport products,
Media Links will showcase and
demonstrate 4K transport over IP of
a live camera feed to a 4K monitor on
its CCW booth. The live feed will be
generated from a Hitachi SK-UHD4000
UltraHD 4K camera in the Hitachi
booth and transported via fibre to the
Media Links booth.
The demonstration will show
broadcasters how they can use their
existing production workflows with
current Media Links solutions to
transport 4K content over IP, SONET or
DWDM based network backbones.
Media Links products meet industry
standards for transport and delivering
live and reliable high quality 4K
content for less cost and bandwidth.
They are reliable and scalable
solutions for transporting content over

IP based networks from sports venues
to broadcast centres, long haul or local
distribution, and interconnect within
IP-based studios and facilities.
Media
Links
will
also
be
demonstrating a solution for video
transport over Public IP networks
at CCW. Public networks may be
unreliable due to congestion where
throughput may vary and there exists
no Quality of Service (QoS).
Media Links offers a real-time media
transport solution for such variable
throughput networks, enabling higher
reliability, and low cost transport
where a managed or private network
service is either not cost-effective or
unavailable.
Media Links' renowned video over
IP media transport and switching
solutions facilitate the transport of
high-value media content and data
over long distance networks.
The company's solutions (MD8000,
MDX Series and Network Management
Software) are deployed globally by
television broadcasters and major
telecoms for the contribution and
distribution of premium-quality 4K,
HD, SD content and data.

four separate receiver circuits, the EK
6042 is extra-reliable, even in difficult
RF environments.
Solid State Logic is promoting
System T which debuted at IBC 2015.
Designed from the ground up to
provide the power to handle largescale productions in a 'multi-platform
delivery' driven future, System T is a
new fully networked broadcast audio
production environment. A range
of hardware and software control
interfaces can be placed anywhere on
a network with up to three consoles or
control interfaces accessing a single
or fully mirrored redundant pair of
processor cores. Multiple processor
cores can be used on a single network.
Control interfaces and processing
resource can be reconfigured to suit
daily requirements. Routing and I/O is
Dante based with System T featuring
the first consoles to use the new Dante
HC (High channel) connectivity. SSL's
newly expanded Network I/O range
puts SSL audio quality Stageboxes
and interfaces wherever they are
required in a facility. With Dante
reaching the 500 product landmark at
IBC 2015, System T has plug-and-play
discoverability and interoperability as
central principles. System T features
a wealth of innovation in technology
and conceptual design, delivers
the versatility to create previously
impossible system configurations, and
to handle future expansion.
Antony David, Managing Director of
Solid State Logic comments: "System T
is a technology at the beginning of its
life - a comprehensive and forwardthinking approach to broadcast audio
production that enables broadcasters
to plan for the future, and adapt in the
future.
Dante has more than 220 licensed
partners already and at IBC reaches
the 500 commercially available
product landmark, and is still growing.

It's a complete technology, with a
control and configuration API, so it
was the obvious and best choice as the
primary infrastructure for the routing
and I/O aspects of System T.
"With that and the development of
our future-proof, CPU-based Tempest
core, plus our innovations in control,
we're asking broadcasters to stop
and think about the future... The fullynetworked broadcast audio production
system is here."
VUE
Audiotechnik
recently
confirmed its partnership with Eastern
Sound Factory which will be the
exclusive VUE distributor throughout
Japan. "During my first interaction with
Eastern Sound Factory, I immediately
made a connection with its crew, and
was impressed by its business acumen,
knowledge of, and dedication to its
market," says Alex Schloesser, Global
Market Management - APAC Business
Development.
"The
partnership
exhibits all the right ingredients for
success, so I believe it will be very
successful. I look forward to working
with my new colleagues at Eastern
Sound Factory."
Jim Sides, Executive Vice President
of VUE, echoes these sentiments: "We
are excited to present our products to
the Japanese market with the help of
the esteemed company Eastern Sound
Factory.
"Together, we are introducing
professional
high-performance
loudspeaker systems that establish
new standards of excellence by
utilising science and materials not
previously employed in professional
loudspeaker componentry, advanced
amplification and cutting-edge digital
platforms. As a direct result of Alex
Schloesser's input and dedication, the
partnering of Eastern Sound Factory
and VUE Audiotechnik has taken place
swiftly and efficiently. We are excited
for the impending launch in Japan."
