“We are excited to offer a small glimpse into how our products can address some common AV production challenges during our InfoComm demo,” says Paul Isaacs, director of product management and design.
“Our rack-mounted solutions provide significant advantages and time-savings to production workflows, especially those without a professionally trained broadcast staff. We are also excited to preview our newest video product, PIX-E5 — the world’s most compact camera-mount, 4K recording monitor.” Sound Devices’ 970, its first-ever, audio-only, rack-mounted solution with 64 channels of Dante and MADI.
