AV system technology has been stagnant for quite a few years. That is, until QuickSilverTM by Mad Systems came along and disrupted the status quo! QuickSilverTM provides optional controls previously unavailable in an audiovisual solution—Facial and Color Recognition—bringing the future of AV to personal media delivery. Including both QuickSilver and LookingGlass Concierge, this suite of programs is designed to allow full integration of Recognition options utilizing a variety of state-of-the-art sensors and devices to personalize visitor experiences.

Bringing the future of AV to personal media delivery.

 QuickSilver: Evolving AV Via Customized Recognition

With content tailored toward either the group or the individual, QuickSilver features overall affordability, wireless media updates and controls, and flexible wireless on demand power management. The non-proprietary hardware-based components include a central control system connected to Wi-Fi, and micro-miniature features controlled via button interface. The QuickSilver™ solution allows you to customize media content to each of your visitors, using a variety of trigger methods including time-of-day scheduling, buttons, RFID, wristbands, infrared technology, phones, tablets, as well as our patent pending Facial Recognition and Color Recognition systems.

LookingGlass Concierge: Ushering In a New Age of AV Identity Detection

Without prompting, interactive exhibits recognize kids, or visitors in wheel chairs, and lower the buttons on the touch screen to make access easier

But that’s not all. With LookingGlass Concierge, Mad Systems has taken their recognition systems even further. This unique patent pending system will change the visitor experience at museums, theme parks, stadiums, fairgrounds, and a host of other venues. LookingGlass uses identity detection capabilities to recognize visitors and link multiple people such as families, friends, students, or clubs as a connected group. If members of the group are separated, this connection allows them to locate one another onsite while also decreasing the likelihood of children leaving venues with unwanted adults or being left behind by their parents. Further, among other impressive features, this concierge program provides traffic control, wayfinding, and event management, facilitates membership usage and privileges, and helps owners remain ADA compliant while increasing revenue.

Audiovisual systems and interactive technology allow visitors to fully engage themselves in an experience. These tools stimulate the senses, not only helping create long-lasting sensory memories to share for years to come but encouraging visitors to return time and again.

Transcoding moves to the cloud. Intercom, tally and shading stay at the venue

Transcoding moves to the cloud. Intercom, tally and shading stay at the venue

Vendors draw the same line: transcoding and graphics move to the cloud, while intercom, tally and camera shading stay on site. Riedel says the connection back to on-site talent, cameras, tally and IFB can still undermine the production or the business case. Hybrid looks like where things settle.

  • 01Dillon’s analysis suggests hybrid cloud-plus-venue production is where things settle, making on-site hardware for latency-bound work a long-term facility plan item.
  • 02Interoperability standards such as SMPTE ST 2110 and NMOS handle the plumbing. The question to put to vendors now is how their systems provision, configure, tear down and monitor services alongside other vendors' gear.

Vindral shares an Emmy honour for frame-accurate browser monitoring

Vindral shares an Emmy honour for frame-accurate browser monitoring

Vindral shares an Emmy honour in a category described as web-based, frame-accurate, remote and distributed. Vindral shares the category with NBCUniversal, Disney, Amazon, CBS Sports, Grass Valley, Game Creek and SipRadius. The award recognises tools that keep production teams in separate locations frame-accurate in a browser, without specialised hardware.

  • 01The Emmy-recognised technical bar is that everyone on a distributed production sees the exact same frame at the exact same moment in an ordinary browser, with no specialised hardware.
  • 02Eight organizations share the award, and the release says the work being honored dates to the pandemic. The announcement doesn’t rank the honourees or include latency figures a buyer could benchmark.
