essential sights and sound of the awe some electronics expo…
Amsterdam can be pretty distracting, we all

ground we can keep you pointing in the right directions and directed to the
must-see kit and companies flaunting their wares there/
Featuring all the big names in AV and
Custom Install, this year’s ISE promises to be a sprawling beast of truly epic
proportions, with some 40,000 attendees expected to descend on the event’s
stands, conferences and training sessions from 130 different countries. So take
no chances on getting swept away in the tech tsunami and study the following
pages carefully, circling those companies you need to see as you go, like you
were going through the Radio Times before Christmas, then get off to Amsterdam,
safe in the knowledge that you’re armed with this bumper issue of essential
info. Oh, and if you roll it up it can make an effective weapon too.
Team SVI will be there propping up the bar

Wyrestorm: the future is lite
HDBaseT little shares of the same strengths
as its bigger brother in terms of distribution method, signal stability and
resistance to interference, but removes the Ethernet distribution and reduces
signaling rate and resolution, while still allowing full HD distribution over
single cable runs with discrete IR control up to 70 meters.
“We feel the combination of single cable
distribution, select, advanced features within a more affordable package than
full HDBaseT, all offer the industry something not currently available in the
market, despite the obvious desire for it” explains Stuart Medus, Technical
Product Specialist.
