Riedel
Riedel are going to release a web-based cloud panel at IBC, allowing remote users to connect to on-site intercom systems. They already have a cloud solution/app but it has not been updated in a long time and is being seen as a more integrated competitor to Unity Intercom.
Their Punqtum partyline intercom offering is having Artist integration added, bringing the platform into the Artist world.
Glensound
A new version of the Glensound Vittoria Dante to 2110 bridge will bring an upgrade to allow for the full 64 channels of Dante audio, rather than the current 32 channel limit. This is due for release in Q2.
32 input and output channels at sample rates up to 96kHz
16 input and output channels at sample rates of 176.4 and 192kHz
The two networks can operate asynchronously or at different sample rates Support for 44.1-192kHz
A new, larger version of the Devine PoE desktop monitor is in design. They are looking at 12” and 15” options, still PoE driven and still with the current 4-channel Dante integration. The only hold up at the moment is the enclosure as the current cast aluminium option becomes very heavy and expensive at that size.
A new 1u large timecode display developed for a specific client has been released to the general market. The TR12 is available in analogue and analogue/Dante versions. It also features timecode distribution with XLR and D-sub connectors on the rear.
Inputs via analogue or Dante/AES67 network
4 x timecode outputs via XLR
7 x timecode outputs on dSUB connector
Output level adjust
IPMX

Newtek Tricaster Now
Cloud deployable Tricaster that is cloud based but hosted by Newtek directly meaning from payment to working Tricaster takes less that 10 mins to build. Newtek have removed all the annoyances in spinning up VM’s in various cloud eco systems. Its not quite right for us but interesting to see their take on ‘cloud’ hopefully others follow.
Dante Analogue Converters
Several smaller analogue Dante convertors to rival the AVIO and Neutrik NA2 were being shown. S-Track have introduced a model with a small touchscreen to display information like IP addressing, and has an in-built DSP.
S-impuls Armoured Cable

Headlines are significant increase in processing, a much easier to understand layer count, an improved UI, basic front panel control and a future Roadmap of full IP integration. Please contact technical management if you’d like more info.
