Orlando, FL, USA — Alcorn McBride has unveiled two new products in Booth #1301 at InfoComm 2015, through June19, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. Making their debut are A/V Binloop Uncompressed and the innovative new ShowWatcher app for Apple Watch; also in the spotlight are Alcorn McBride’s DVM8500-AB Digital Video Machine HD and the AmpTraXX 16-channel amplifier with DSP.
The new A/V Binloop Uncompressed synchronized video player combines Alcorn McBride’s signature rock solid performance with the ability to play content at the highest possible quality. It’s the perfect solution for video wall and blended projection applications because it eliminates the loss of quality due to stretching commonly seen in traditional video wall controllers or video processors. And for large applications, it’s easy to sync multiple units using the product’s Genlock input feature.
Also new at InfoComm is ShowWatcher, an innovative app that allows users to program up to 32 buttons to control Alcorn McBride show control, audio, video or lighting control products (or other devices that accept UDP commands) and then trigger them remotely from an Apple Watch for operational or maintenance purposes.
ShowWatcher works particularly well with Alcorn McBride’s Pro-Series Show Controllers. These embedded controllers feature an abundance of serial ports, dual Ethernet ports, linear timecode, real-time clock schedule and a rock solid multi-tasking operating system.
The DVM8500-AB offers a variety of control options – Ethernet, RS-232, playlists, scheduling, GPS, contact/voltage inputs – and video outputs – composite, component and HDMI, so it’s the perfect HD video playback source for interactive kiosks, museum exhibits, digital signage and tour vehicles. The new Digital Video Machine HD is shipping now.
Each AmpTraXX channel can provide up to 25W into 8 ohms and independent DSP capability, including a 9-band EQ, dynamic range and compression control, as well as gain and stereo/mono mixing capability. Channel pairs can also be bridged to provide 50W operation if more power is required. The system is programmed with user-friendly software included with each unit and is shipping now.
