Belden Takes Home Emmy® Award!

As one of the most prestigious honors in Hollywood, you probably don’t picture wire and cable when you think about Emmy® Award winners.

But, this year, we’re thrilled to announce that the Emmy® goes to … Belden!

Belden was named a 2020 Technology & Engineering Emmy winner by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) for its “Standardization and Commercialization of Television – Broadcast, Hybrid Electrical and Fiber-Optic Camera Cable and Connectors,” its significant impact on the broadcast industry and vital role in standardizing SMPTE cables.

As video transitioned from analog to digital, copper camera cable couldn’t transmit digital signals across long distances. The industry needed a way to move digital video over long distances using fiber while also providing power to cameras.

The result was the development and commercialization of the first SMPTE cables to meet North American standards. Commercially available since 1999, Belden SMPTE cables are still used today for various indoor and outdoor broadcast applications. The hybrid electrical and fiber-optic camera cable and connectors were standardized as SMPTE 304M/311M. This innovation accelerated adoption of digital video and allowed networks to confidently invest in digital camera equipment.

Now the industry is moving to the next path, which is ultra-high definition—and Belden is ready to support that transition as well.

Belden recently introduced a solution to support the shift to ultra-high definition (UHD) for 4K video. Belden’s 4K UHD Coax Cable for 12G-SDI supports 4K or UHD content without an overhaul to IP or fiber. It maintains a 12 GHz bandwidth and maximizes 4K/UHD transmission distance over a single link, decreasing bulk associated with dual-link and quad-link configurations. Now manufacturers can integrate 12G-SDI ports into equipment for traditional coax or upgrades to IP or fiber for 4K/UHD broadcasting.

Learn How to Create Custom Voice Experiences with Josh.ai!

Josh.ai’s software has always been programmable to accept variations of device and room names as well as triggers to activate scenes, and the Fiji OS platform unveiled at CEDIA 2021 introduced natural language to the programming of the system itself. No complex programming, no complicated GUI console, and no configuring tiles. All that is needed is natural speech to create custom scenes. For example, a user can create a “Good Morning” scene by simply typing into the Josh.ai Natural Language Scene Editor:

“Watch the weather channel in the living room, listen to Rufus Du Sol radio in the master bedroom, and unlock the front door. If it is sunny, open the first floor shades halfway. Otherwise, open the first floor shades all the way and turn on the kitchen lights to 100%.”

With the Fiji platform, clients can dictate scenes that run on schedules, include delays, deep-link specific audio and video content, and contextually adjust or trigger systems depending on the time, weather, user location, state of devices, and sensor data. All of this customization is done using natural language text instead of complex programming, a first in the industry.

The Josh.ai team recently hosted a webinar detailing the extent of Fiji’s scene capabilities. If you missed it, or if you would like to review what was covered, check out the documentation and a recording of the session to learn more.

Kaleidescape has partnered with Sony Electronics on a new promotion offering customers $3,000 MSRP savings off any qualifying Kaleidescape system when purchased with one of four qualifying Sony projectors, now through September 30th.

Kaleidescape and Sony are dedicated to providing the ultimate 4K HDR experience to customers. Delivering reference-quality 4K HDR movies at the source, Kaleidescape optimizes for the highest resolution, dynamic range, and contrast capabilities of Sony’s high-end projectors. With over 12,000 movies, TV shows, and concerts available from its movie store, Kaleidescape employs proprietary metadata to seamlessly adjust Sony’s projectors to display every title in its native aspect ratio.

Together, Kaleidescape and Sony highlight the benefits of a premium projector paired with the best-in-class movie playback source. A streaming device cannot maximize a high-end projector’s innovative capabilities and stops short of delivering the best possible viewing experience. In contrast, a Kaleidescape system is designed to play 4K HDR movies with a video bitrate 4x higher while reproducing lossless audio at up to 10x higher than any streaming device. Visually, this results in a profound difference in clarity and detail when displayed on a Sony projector.

Qualifying Sony projectors:

· VPL-GTZ380

· VPL-VW5000ES

· VPL-VW995ES

· VPL-VW915ES

Qualifying Kaleidescape systems:

· Terra 48TB + Strato C

· Terra 24TB + Strato C

· Strato S 12TB

· Strato S 6TB

New On-Q Dual-Purpose In-Wall Enclosures Now Shipping!

Our award-winning (won a CTA^® 2021 Mark of Excellence Award in the “Rack or Mount Product of the Year” category) enclosures are now available in 9-inch (ENP0900-NA) and 17-inch (ENP1700-NA) form factors and can be used for AV storage behind a TV or as enclosures for structured wiring. When placed behind a TV, the Dual-Purpose In-Wall Enclosures are designed to conveniently house cable boxes, streaming players, and more. The 17-inch solution is also compatible with the popular 4K and 8K Samsung One-Connect Box, while its split cover was designed for use with split-rail TV mounts, allowing integrators to access components after the TV mount is installed. Additional access is provided by open channels at the top and bottom of the enclosure, which also provide passive ventilation.

When used as enclosures for structured wiring, the Dual-Purpose In-Wall Enclosures provide a centralized area to store video, voice, and data components, such as Luxul’s new compact 4-port SW-100-04P and 8-port SW-100-08P Gigabit PoE+ switches. The in-wall boxes’ WiFi-transparent ABS plastic construction ensures a strong signal from ISP modems/wireless routers. The 17-inch solution’s split cover accommodates tight installations — such as behind closet shelving — enabling users to access components without obstructions. The boxes’ top and bottom channels can be sealed with included inserts to keep out debris and dust.

For installation flexibility, the 9-inch and 17-inch solutions are available with a 5-inch mounting plate. ENP0905-NA-V1 and ENP1705-NA-V1 models include a mounting bracket (AC1050) that offers 1.5 inches of elevation, allowing for a second layer of mounting to free up space or accommodate bulky devices. The mounting bracket can also be purchased separately. Built-in hook and loop locations enable effortless cable management, while an included trim ring conceals messy drywall for a clean, professional look. The solutions are compatible with both On-Q structured wiring modules and those from other manufacturers.
