BOSTON, January 5, 2011 – Public address systems routinely serve as a platform for live event venues, theme parks and other facilities to project voice and music, for everything from live paging and informational announcements to background music and concert performances. Most pre-recorded PA system announcements and musical soundtracks require substantial manual operation to ensure successful playout from source equipment.

In 2008, Technomad introduced the Schedulon mp3 playback and recording system to give PA system operators the freedom of scheduling automatic playback of audio files down to the minute while maintaining a high level of manual control. In February, Technomad will introduce Schedulon v3.0 at the ISE show in Amsterdam (February 1-3, RAI Exhibition Centre, Booth 2A57), delivering new features and enhancements that build upon its previous successes.

WAYNE, NJ – JVC Professional Products Company today announced that KARK-TV, the NBC affiliate in Little Rock, Ark., has purchased three JVC GY-HM790U ProHD cameras for production of its local newscasts. The Nexstar Broadcasting station, which serves the Little Rock-Pine Bluff market (DMA #56), has been using the cameras in its main studio daily since June.

With a redesigned studio adapter sled and innovative modular design, the GY-HM790 is an ideal solution for multicore or fiber-based studios.
