There is nothing to install and nothing to pay for.
AtlasIED and RTI Control Partner to Help Integrators Enhance Customer Experience
To demonstrate a commitment to enhancing the customer experience, AtlasIED, a global electronics manufacturer of audio, mass communications, and security solutions, and RTI, a leading control and automation manufacturer, today announced RTI control platform compatibility with AtlasIED’s Atmosphere audio processing and control system. The companies collaborated to create a control module specifically to enable RTI customers to manage Atmosphere directly through the RTI control and automation system.
Ideally suited for hospitality, education, house of worship, retail, and other commercial environments, Atmosphere harnesses touchless control, automation and artificial intelligence to simplify the installation, customization, and operation of digital audio systems. With the new control integration, RTI customers can now integrate, identify, and control Atmosphere products through the same RTI interface—on touchpanels, keypads, and mobile devices—that controls and automates the rest of the facility.
“Establishments of all types require audio systems that are simple to install, integrate, and configure to improve audio performance and create experiences that connect with guests,” said Tom Lureman, Product Manager at AtlasIED. “The new RTI driver aligns with our core foundation for developing Atmosphere; specifically, to offer a simple way for integrators and users to create memorable experiences for guests and staff in any environment.”
The control module permits RTI control panel integration with Atmosphere and enables customers to route audio signals through a single user interface within an establishment or to multiple zones within a space. The control panel will include native Atmosphere audio controls including sources and volume and will also include a microphone input, such as for in-house announcements or to connect music from a DJ. RTI customers will automatically have access to the Atmosphere module in the RTI driver library and it can also be downloaded from the RTI dealer portal.
“Integrating the Atmosphere audio ecosystem into the RTI control platform has been a priority request from RTI integrators,” said RTI Product Management Director Neal Ellsworth. “RTI and Atmosphere elevate the control and audio experience in any commercial setting, from retail to hospitality, and we are excited to launch the new driver that integrates Atmosphere with RTI.”
AtlasIED has created a range of native drivers to meet the industry’s compatibility demands, allowing end-users to integrate AtlasIED technology into a greater variety of audio, video and network devices to create a unified system.

Proof innovation never tires at AVPro Edge is found in this departure from our regular cadence of intensive video technologies development, as we introduce our first full width chassis product dedicated solely for audio use, the AC-AEX-RC-HUB. An engineering contemplation brought to fruition, it was conceived to harvest as many as eight decentralized audio-oriented sources at various distances from a centrally located third-party distribution system - joining four additional audio sources neighboring the AC-AEX-RC-HUB, then aggregated into a common endpoint with matrixing capabilities for seamless system integration. Control is mastered from the AVPro Edge GUI, or the API interfaces with automation systems like Control 4, Crestron, Elan, Savant and more to transparently traffic audio signals discretely behind the scenes.
In the late ’80s, the Society of Motion Picture Television Engineers (SMPTE) developed a standard for transmitting serial digital interface (SDI) video signals. These uncompressed, unencrypted digital signals are still part of broadcast signals today.
What type of cabling did SMPTE choose to run SDI signals? Most SDI signals used a 75 Ohm coax, which has been a staple for broadcasters for years.
As more and more coax cables for SDI signals hit the market, they were offered in multiple variations and sizes. With all these choices, designers needed an easy way to determine how far they could run each of these cables.
To help, we created a table based on signal loss recommendations for given formats as specified by SMPTE. Recently, we updated this table to feature a new format and new versions of cables as they become available.
As the industry moves toward 12 Gb/s single-link configuration as part of SMPTE 2082-1, it’s critical for designers to verify distance. To do this, check with equipment manufacturers to confirm the type of cable needed to reach the distance you want to meet.

Introducing our new series of dedicated, customizable high-output center channels for Large Micro-LED displays. This product series provides a solution to increase audio clarity and overall performance when the center channel must be installed above or below a hard surface display. We use a proprietary wavefront curvature technic to shift the sonic image to the center of the array. This ensures the horizontal localization remains at the center of the screen for any listener seated off-center/ axis. The proprietary DSP Loudspeaker management implementation required is included using our new generation of DSP amplifiers.
Two-Fold Customization with Sage Cinema or Wisdom Series
The length of the Line Source Array Center Channel is adjustable, not to match the size of the display, but to match the width of the listening area. The performance level can also be adjusted using either the Sage Series Planar Magnetic drivers, which cover 6 Octaves of the spectrum and then transition to woofers, or the Wisdom Series, where all 8 Octaves are reproduced by planar magnetic drivers.
Unique Design Approach
Line source devices are typically used vertically. This is the first horizontal application providing the same power over distance (matching the vertical line source) and allowing the benefits of line source’s clarity (hearing less of the room) to be used in designing solutions around large LED displays.

Yamaha UC is excited to announce that two of our ADECIA solutions are now Certified for Zoom Rooms: ADECIA Ceiling Microphone Solution and ADECIA Tabletop Microphone Solution. Both solutions feature a Dante-enabled microphone, our RM-CR signal processor, as well as Yamaha's well-known PoE switches and VXL Series line array speakers.
The ADECIA Ceiling Solution includes Yamaha’s RM-CG, our Dante-enabled Ceiling Microphone Array, a dynamic beamforming microphone that is packed with Yamaha’s signature technologies such as: Human Voice Activity Detection, Auto Gain Control, Dereverberation, and Noise Reduction. Four beams pick up voices from anywhere in the room and deliver conversation clearly to the far end. Thankfully, the RM-CG’s most recent firmware update allows users to physically see a change when the mic is on mute, as the blinking green light turns to red when mics are muted. This is a useful development, because the hyper-sensitive dynamic beams often pick up side conversation from across the room - whether it’s meant to be heard or not!
The ADECIA Tabletop Solution features Yamaha’s RM-TT, our Dante-enabled wired tabletop microphone. This microphone also comes in black or white, and is built with Yamaha’s powerful audio technologies, such as Auto Speaker Tracking. Plus, the RM-TT0 comes with six different directional options, including Omnidirectional, Bidirectional, and Unidirectional.
Both applications of ADECIA feature stunning audio in Zoom Rooms, seamless configuration, and a user-friendly experience. The ADECIA Ceiling Solution provides the ultimate room flexibility, as meeting participants are free to speak from wherever in the room, while the ADECIA Tabletop Solution is the easiest to install.
