First ever IP model connection demo conducted at Inter BEE!
What will IP technology bring? Special exhibitions taking us to the next 10 years

In this current age where IP networks continue to speed up, the “INTER BEE IP PAVILION”
presented IP live transmission, which realizes next-generation live video production anddistribution, and IP associated companies gave exhibitions along with relay seminar presentations.
Additionally, for the first time ever at Inter BEE, an IP model connection demo was conducted.
As program production continues to use higher definition images, and multi-media content andmulti-device expansion, such as online video streaming, continue to advance, broadcastingstations are increasingly looking to apply IP technology to next-generation facilities. The adoptionof IP technology by such stations applies not only to transmitting video footage. A total switchoverof program production sites, archives and relay equipment will also be required, and changes will
extend as far as machine parts.
Applying IP technology to broadcasting equipment provides many possibilities. Not only will
facilities become thinner, but the management of video, sound and metadata can be integrated,and many other advantages brought about by the introduction of new functions can also be
expected. However, there will also be a need to verify interconnectivity between equipment,
responses to system problems, and the fostering of IP-related technical skills.
The IP model connection demo was conducted at four corners: “SMPTE ST2110 Interoperability”,“SMPTE ST2022-6 Interoperability”, “ARIB STD B73 Interoperability”, and “Image Quality
Comparison (JPEG-XS / TICO / LLVC / J2K)”. IP machines installed at the “INTER BEE IP PAVILION”
in Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall 3 were actually connected to IP machines at eachexhibition booth, so visitors were able to see the demo from various angles.

World-class SR speaker trial listening experience
Contest this year between 15 famous Japanese and overseas brand speakers

Continuing on from last year, this year’s INTER BEE EXPERIENCE: X-Speaker (SR Speaker
Experience Demo) contest was fought out between 15 famous Japanese and overseas brandspeakers. 14 line array speakers and one point source speaker held an audio competition over athree day period.
The event hall was fully utilized again this year. All of the competing line array speakers were
flown to create an impressive trial listening experience space worthy of being called a world-classevent.
As a characteristic of the recent event, small-scale line array and medium/large-scale line array
categories were kept as is and listening areas for adapting various live spaces to confirm theircapacity were standardized. The area from the arena to the second-floor seats on the south-side
was established as a listening area. Based on the idea of a large-scale hall and event space, smallscale line arrays have evolved year-by-by, and that power together with the real capabilities of
medium and large-scale line arrays were promoted while displaying their respective attributes andfeatures to the full.
Throughout the year, many concerts and musical events are held and the live entertainment
market is flourishing. As a result, Inter BEE gathered a large number of top-class speakers fromthe most advanced sound technology areas including Europe, North America and Japan. We hopethat more people will experience this firsthand in the future such as established and budding audio
professional users, people interested in live entertainment, and foreign users, especially thosefrom Asia.

and communication technologies: “I have heard that this year’s Inter BEE will
be introducing a wide variety of equipment and services including 4K/8K,
Internet distribution, and next-generation broadcasting technology in order totell the world about the possibilities of new media. The
latest technology and products to lead the global
broadcasting market will be a major driving force ofoverall economic growth rather than just the development of the Japanese broadcasting sector.”“Greatly changing comprehensive media event”“In line with rapidly advancing digital technology, the world is changing
greatly. In cooperation with various industries, JEITA is working to realize the
Ultra-smart Society 5.0. Inter BEE is no exception. It is changing greatly to acomprehensive media event that covers “make, send and realize” by aiming tocreate enjoyable user experiences with a focus on contents and not justbroadcasting equipment. Jointly holding Inter BEE with the DCEXPO exhibition,
hosted by Digital Content Association of Japan, is a part of this.”“4K/8K satellite broadcasting will finally begin next month on December 1st. At
this year’s Inter BEE, there will be many exhibitions relating to the close-at-hand

are also scheduled. I have great hopes that Inter BEE willplay a significant role as we sit on the cusp of a new era ofbroadcasting due to start in two weeks time.”

Mr. Toru Kunishige
Parliamentary Vice-Minister,
Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC)“20 years since the fusion of broadcasting andcommunications and linking-up with other industries”

Mr. Masaki Sakuyama
Chairman,Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA)

Mr. Yoshida expressed his hopes for a link-up with industries besides
broadcasting and communication technology: “Around 20 years has passed
since the words ‘fusion of communications and broadcasting’ were first used.
Since then, transmission routes have changed and 4K/8K satellite broadcastingis due to start, and the business environment including smartphones, ICT, IoT
and AI has changed the fastest and greatest. The ‘connected industries’ conceptthat the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry came up with last year is thesame for the media industry. Using new technology to link-up with otherindustries and create new added value has now become really necessary.”He also suggested that a business style revolution is essential for contentsbusiness to succeed: “people must take time off forleisure and short breaks to make contents succeed.
And in order to achieve that, a new way of thinking isneeded, such as the content itself as well as delivery
types and usability”.

Opening Session / Reception Party

Inter BEE: continuously changing to a Society 5.0 era
High interest prior to start of 4K/8K satellite broadcasting“Importance of many people seeing 4K/8K by 2020”

The “Inter BEE 2018 Reception” was held on the evening of November 14,
the opening day of the exhibition, and people associated with supportingand cooperative groups as well as exhibiting companies were invited along.
Brimming with people from the broadcasting, equipment manufacturing,and contents industries, this event symbolized the growing excitement
concerning the start of 4K/8K broadcasts in December 2018.

I toured Inter BEE all day today. In the morning I listened to a session and in theafternoon I saw an exhibition. I felt that the event had more energy than normal
years. The thing that left me with the greatest impression with me about the opening
ceremony was that the representative of nine broadcasting stations starting new
4K/8K satellite broadcasts all got together under one roof to talk passionately about
the start of these broadcasts. Comparing it to a horse-race, it’s like asking about thejockey’s state of mind after entering the starting gate before the start of a race. I felt
the long-awaited passion. Introductions of each company’s programs allowed us tosee videos with such a sense of presence that it felt like we were actually there. I
cannot wait until December 1, now that I know that each company is preparing its
own distinctive programs.
The Association of Radio Industries and Business (ARIB) has raised three topics
concerning standardization toward 2020. The first is 4K/8K, the second is 5G, and thethird is automatic driving. The first to be realized is
4K/8K. I think that December 1 will be a milestone
towards 2020. It is important that a really lot of viewers
see these wonderful programs ready for 2020, and I hopethat the industry as a whole will work together to ensurethat this happens.
Mr. Fusaki Matsui“Towards a new business model aimed atrealization of Society 5.0”This year’s Inter BEE was held just before the start of new 4K/8K satellite broadcasting, so it was packed full of industry insiders and a wealth of 4K/8K-related equipment
was on display at the exhibition. One could sense the increasing diversification of media
in line with the enhanced sophistication of broadcasting and communications.
JEITA was a sponsor of CEATEC in October and Inter BEE in November, and I havespoken about aligning the axes of these two events. The axes I talk about are the very
nature of business in the Society 5.0 era. I get the feeling that ‘Society 5.0’ has finallybecome a universal phrase. It is a concept of a futuristic society presented by Japan to
the world. Continuing on from the information society, Society 5.0 is a new society inwhich innovation is created by technology such as IoT and AI, and social problems are
solved by adapting to each and everyone’s needs.
At this year’s Inter BEE, there were varying types of camera on display at the entrance,
while at the exit there were diverse types of media and business created from the development of display devices, communication and computer technologies. Looking at this froma Society 5.0 angle, it means ‘how can these types of media address the tastes of people
from differing cultures and with increasingly diverse values in real-time?’ Inter BEE isright in the midst of change. This year’s event was jointly held with the DCEXPO exhibition
hosted by the Digital Content Association of Japan, and byfusing with contents, Inter BEE became an event that canpresent business models aligned with each and every person’s
diversities. Please find a new future-minded business modelthat will contribute to the creation of an even more
prosperous Japanese society.
Mr. Hisato Nagao

Representative Director,
Association of Radio Industries and Business (ARIB)“New 4K/8K broadcasts and extra support fordisaster preparations”
This year’s Inter BEE was held just as expectations for new 4K/8K satellite
broadcasting swelled to a crescendo. Each company starting new 4K/8K satellite
broadcasts has constructed broadcasting equipment and tested broadcasting
signals by a very tight schedule. I think that this is thanks to the great cooperationand major efforts of equipment manufacturers. I would like to take this opportunity
to pass on my sincere thanks. I hope that stations will see it through until the start ofbroadcasts on December 1.
This year, major disasters struck the whole of Japan, such as the July torrential
rain and the Hokkaido Eastern Iburi Earthquake. I would like to express my deepest
sympathies to all those affected by disasters.
Despite facing difficult situations such as typhoons,
earthquakes and power failures, many commercial
broadcasting stations have used their ingenuity to bringinformation speedily and accurately to viewers while
doing their utmost to maintain broadcasting facilities.

President,
Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA)“Maximum effort to popularize 4K/8K”
Looking around Inter BEE 2018 today, my impression was that there are a lot of
4K/8K-related exhibits as we sit on the brink of new 4K/8K satellite broadcasting. With
the advent of new technology such as broadcasting IP technology and the use of AI in
broadcasting, I also got the impression that broadcasting technology is much broader
than about a decade ago. Around 20 years has passed since the digitization of broadcasting and movements such as the fusion or link-up of broadcasting and communications,and I feel that that era has finally come.
From December 1 in about two weeks time, new 4K/8K satellite broadcasts starts.
NHK will start 4K broadcasts on right-handed polarized wave channels with commercial
broadcasters and it will be the first left-handed polarized wave channel to start 8K
broadcasts anywhere in the world. Being able to welcome in new broadcasts like this is
entirely thanks to the untiring efforts of everyone at the Ministry of Internal Affairs andCommunications, A-PAB and manufacturers.
Carrying on from the previous year, we prepared a booth with JEITA. Some of you may havealready seen it, but we provided a corner that introduces 4K/8K broadcast images on actual
receivers, and visitors can see a sheet-type organic EL display developed in the technicalresearch institute and an 8K theater using 22.2 multi-channel sound. We are also promoting the
integrated production of 4K and 2K, a big issue at production sites, using a real outside
broadcast van, so I hope that people will come and see it.
Even after starting its new 4K/8K satellite broadcasts,
NHK will continue to improve its content. I also hope thatmaximum efforts will be made to popularize 4K/8K.

Mr. Tadahisa Kawaguchi
Chairman of the Special Technical Committee,
The Japan Commercial Broadcasters Association(JBA)“Hopes for even more wonderful contents with 4K/8K”
Finally, Mr. Yoichiro Kawaguchi, the Chairman of the Digital Content Association of Japan, which jointly held its DCEXPO with Inter BEE, made the following
closing speech.
“Hi-vision and full CG video was produced in 1988 and announced at SIGGRAPH,
the American CG festival. Using marine life as a motif, this work showed many
people vibrant expressions in high-definition hi-vision images. When I saw 4K/8K
images at this year’s Inter BEE, I felt that the images were even more beautiful thanback then. I hope that if content is produced in 4K/8K, then even more wonderfulthings can be made.”
At the end of his speech, Mr. Kawaguchi then proposeda toast, and a hearty cheer of ‘kampai’ went up from all thepeople gathered there.

Introduction to 8K-compatible
Presentation Switchers and theLatest Mixers for Radio Stations
Aimed at New Demand■ What were your exhibition themes and aims?
We participate in Inter BEE in two categories –the Video Production/Broadcast Equipment floor
and the Professional Audio Equipment floor – witha focus on broadcasting equipment products every
year. We exhibited the Spyder X80 4K/8K presentation switcher made by Christie as an important
product on the Video Production/Broadcast Equipment floor at Inter BEE 2018. This is a product thatcan be used in public viewings and live viewings(e.g., sports events) for customers whose work is
mainly related to events. It is aimed at the new
4K /8K satellite broadcasting which will start on
December 1 this year and the Olympics/ Paralympics in 2020. (Mr. Takano)In addition, there has also been talk of system
updates that include measures against disasters inradio stations. Therefore, we participated in theProfessional Audio Equipment floor with a focus
on a customized mixer and APT IP ISDN CODEC.
The customized mixer is from a German company
called DHD.audio and it can be handled efficiently
by one per son. T he A P T ID ISDN CODEC i s a
H ika r i Denwa - compatible IP voice codec of a
French compa ny called WorldCa st Systems. It

News Center Pick up-1

performs IP transmission from the broadcasting
hea d of f ice s of broa dca st er s to t r a n sm it t i ng
stations. (Mr. Takano)■ We also want to promote our products

for purposes other than public viewings

Spyder X8 0, wh ich i s a 4K / 8K pre sent at ion
switcher made by Christie that we exhibited as animportant product at this Inter BEE, is equippedwith three ty pes of connector per input(DisplayPort 1.2 / HDMI 2.0 / 12G-SDI). It is characterized as being compatible with 4K@ 60p in all
outputs. Camera images and computer images are
i nput a nd d i splayed side by side on t he sa me
s c r e e n i n pr e s e nt a t io n s . Howe ver, it i s a l s opossible to input 4K camera image signals and 4K
HDR image signals and then display the images ofvarious signals. (Ms. Shimizu)■ Exhibit of the MOJOPRO app

that turns smartphones into relay cameras

In addition, we also exhibited MOJOPRO on theVideo Production/Broadcast Equipment floor. Thisis an app from a French company called AVIWEST
that turns smartphones into relay cameras. It is
possible to immediately produce the images ofsmartphones by downloading the MOJOPRO app
even when you encounter a situation in which youneed to produce images quickly. (Mr. Tokudome)
It demonstrates its greatest per for ma nce insettings where rapidness is required. It is possible

to use this app for free by introducing the Stream
Hub of the same company. This Stream Hub is a
1RU server and is a type that is basically installedin company office buildings. Nevertheless, it isalso a cloud type. Accordingly, it is possible to
distribute on YouTube Live at the same time. We
received many questions in the booth under theassumption of using YouTube Live. It attracted a
lot of attention from customers. (Mr. Tokudome)■ Introduction before others to thelatest model audio mixer popularin radio stations in Japan

We became the first in Japan to exhibit RX2 on
the Professional Audio Equipment floor. This is a
new customized mixer from a German company
called DHD.audio that was announced at IBC thisyear. RX2 is the latest model upgraded to be eveneasier to handle and even more stylish from the52/RX that has been introduced into many sites inJapan. All modules are equipped with large TFT
touch displays to enhance visibility and operability. (Mr. Hojo)
In addition, a motor fader is equipped as standa rd. This reduces the burden of the operator
when building a mixer that includes layers when
operating it solo. It seemed that many of thoseinterested in this were customers already using
the products of DHD.audio. Many came to see theactual thing at Inter BEE. (Mr. Hojo)
35■ Exhibition of the APT IP ISDN CODEC –an IP voice codec for which we received
the most inquiries

We exhibited an IP voice codec for which we
received the most inquiries at this Inter BEE. This
IP voice codec is called APT IP ISDN CODEC. It isa Hikari Denwa-compatible IP voice codec from a
French company called WorldCast Systems thatma kes it possible to per for m IP tra nsm ission
between transmitting stations from the broadcasting head offices of broadcasters. It can transmit
audio without sound dropouts by using APT’ s
own SureStream voice transmission technology. It
is possible to use the EaptX algorithm that enables
low delays, low compression and high sound quality. Therefore, it is possible to significantly lower
running costs even compared to uncompressedtransmission. (Mr. Hojo)Inter BEE 2018 Exhibition Report

Dramatic Changes to the Way ofUsing Works: Editing Software
Also Supports Various Changes■ What were your exhibition themes and aims?
There were a number of core elements to our
exhibition at Inter BEE 2018. One of these was theevolution of our Media Composer and Pro Tools.
These are basic tools for video and audio production – the basis of the products provided by Avid
Technology. We showcased the latest state of ourbasic tools including support for 4K / 8K editing
workflows. The second was an introduction to thestate of the practical application of cloud services
through an exhibit and demo of Avid on Demandthat is also scheduled to provide services in 2019.
The third was that we made it possible to experience the industry standard Dolby Atmos mixing
environment with immersive audio by building asystem using Pro Tools.
Avid Technology is a manufacturer. We basicallyprovide video and audio production systems with
our in-house manufactured products. On the other
hand, the progress of cloud and Internet distribution has diversified the methods of utilizing works.
There are increasing oppor tunities to suppor t
individual requirements. We are demonstrating a
direction in which it is possible to plug in the products of other companies centered on the productsof Avid Technology instead of supplying systems

News Center Pick up-2

closed to only our in-house manufactured products
to respond to such changes in the situation. This is
the Avid MediaCentral platform. We are now pushing product provision as a platform that allows us
to respond promptly and at low cost to a variety ofdemands. (Mr. Mitsuoka)■ Various exhibits of cloud andAI utilization and Dolby Atmos mixing

We exhibited cloud solutions centered on Avid
On Demand. This is a software as a service (SaaS)
type platform that offers media production functions. It is a system that makes it possible to use
media production functions on-demand. It is compatible with 4K/8K. We demonstrated with a demothat it is possible to execute without delay frommultiple 4K video production sites via a network.
Test introduction of Avid On Demand is progressing close to proof of concept (PoC) and practicalapplication on a global basis. We plan to set the
pr ice a nd ma ke it possible to use it i n 2019 i nJapan. We demonstrated in the booth that it ispossible to smoothly use Avid On Demand even in
the Microsoft A zure public cloud ser v ice fromMicrosoft in addition to a private cloud environment installed in an office in Akasaka. We are also
jointly verifying with Microsoft technology that
automatically extracts meta information by recognizing images and audio from video utilizing the AI
functions possessed by Azure. We believe this willlead to improved productivity through AI utiliza-tion.
In the centre of the Av id booth wa s the Dolby
Atmos immersive audio mix demonstration. This
allowed visitors to experience the stereophonicsound of 7.1.4 channel Dolby Atmos, which was
intuitively apportioned in the mixing stage using
P r o To ol s | U lt i m a t e. Net f l i x , a m a jor v ide ostreamer, is promoting sound production compatible with Dolby Atmos. Therefore, we believe a
Dolby Atmos mixing environment is very important in Internet-based content production in addition to television-based content production. We
invited an engineer of Netflix to give a guest talkin the booth of Avid Technology at Inter BEE 2018.
This allowed visitors to feel the trends and realities of content production technologies.
We demonstrated 4K / 8K editing workf lows forvideo and audio production technologies and madeit possible for our visitors to experience 4K /8K
editing workflows through the industry standard
non-linear editing tool of Media Composer, themedia shared storage of Avid NEXIS, the Artist I/Oseries of DNxIQ, DNxIV and DNxID and MediaCentral | Editorial Management that prov ides new
post-production workflows.
■ Revitalization of the Japanese market

by also focusing our efforts on
Internet distribution-based solutions

We believe that we are in a position for Japan totake on the driving force and lead the world in37

4K /8K solutions. In that sense, we participate at
Inter BEE by positioning it a s one of the mostimpor ta nt exhibitions on pa r with NA B in La s
Vegas in the U.S. and IBC in A msterdam in the
Netherlands.
The focus of attention alongside the spread of
4K / 8K i s on t he r i s e of I nt er net d i s t r ibut ion
services. Even if the basics of content production
do not change, the methods of watching and listening to this content are diversifying. We must think
how to offer support as a provider of solutions interms of how it is possible to distribute and monetize. Against this backdrop, we feel that there are
an increasing number of IT-related and Internetrel a t e d v i sit or s. We wou ld l i ke I nt er BEE t oincrease the number of IT related and Internet
visitors even more to support the uptake in theindustry.
We ca n expect compa nies a nd v isitors fromdifferent genres to further increase with an expansion in the ma rket by becom ing a n ex h ibition
spread to IT related and Internet related visitorsfrom an exhibition closed to broadcasting andv ideo produc t ion. We wou ld l i ke t o cont i nue
contributing to a mutual expansion in the businessof Avid and our customers by our company also
proactively introducing overseas cases.

Developing video software technology not confined to broadcasting
Exhibiting next-generation video technology from 16K to AI

Involved in software R&D such as real-time image processing, AZLAB
is a technology development company that does not provide finishedproducts. Rather, it provides the seeds of technology, helping company
clients to realize the solutions they need.
At Inter BEE 2018, a world-f irst 16K@120P uncompressed v ideo
playback system was exhibited in large scale at the front of the booth,drawing the attention of visitors.
While there were many solutions on display, not all of them will go on
to become products. Asserting that AZLAB used the Inter BEE venue as ashowroom for the company’ s technologies, we asked the company’ s Sales
Department General Manager and executive officer, Mr. Isamu Hiyane,
about the features and aims of its exhibits.

Exploiting the potential of video
with a myriad of real-time video
processing technologies■ Exhibition’s aims and themes?
“AZLAB is a technological development company
that provides technology to partner manufacturers
and system integrators (SIer). Rather than working
in the front line by, for example, selling products,
we play a more back-office role in providing solutions. It could be said that our technological development is characterized by software aiming forreal-time performance. In the video sector, video
directly input from a camera needs to be extensively processed prior to being shown in a display.
By providing software that achieves high-level
video signal processing in real-time, we believethat we are extending the possibilities of video.”“High-definition video has various uses. Not held
down by broadcasting framework or resolution
restrictions, AZLAB provides global as well as
national video solutions. We exhibited the seeds ofour many technologies at Inter BEE, so we are gladthat many visitors were able to find out about how
these technologies could work.”

News Center Pick up-3

■ Diversity of technology ranging fromultra-high-definition video processing
to AI visual expression“What stood out most at our Inter BEE 2018 exhibition was the world-first 16K@120P uncompressedvideo playback system. Ultra-high-definition video
with quadr uple the number of pixels of 8K aredisplayed in a 4-set 8K panel. This enables one tosee firsthand uncompressed, 120P high-definition
16K v ide o. A p ower f u l h a r dw a r e en g i ne a ndsoftware are required to play 16K content in realtime, a nd we a re promoting the technolog y torealize that. 16K requires a vast amount of data so
it may not be used for broadcasting, but as 16K120P
can be played via software, we believe that ideas touse ultra-high-definition video will continue toexpand”“8K@60P real-time blending theater uses four 4K
projectors to display 8K video. It calculates in realt i me t he overl a ppi n g pa r t s when 8K v ideo i sdivided into four 4K videos and projected onto ascreen with four projectors, so it can play seamless
8K large-screen video with no visible joints.”“We ex h ibited a n u lt r a -h ig h- def i n it ion nex t generat ion v ideo wa l l. T h is system combi nes
various videos in an 8K large-screen video wall by
combining 16 full-HD displays. Using AI (artificial
intelligence), it can automatically detect objects ina video and display video featuring cut-out humanfigures. In addition, video from over 30 IP cameras
and 2K video can be displayed as video upgraded to

4K video and simultaneously displayed in the same
video wall. Visitors were able to see firsthand 8K
v ideo, wh ich freely la id out mu ltiple t y pes ofcontent identified by the AI video analysis, being
generated in a single device.”“As an exhibition of future technology in themaking, our demonstration of the “A.I.TOUCHPAINTING” , which automatically generates images
using AI, was popular. When sky, trees, grass, andwater were color coded and input to draw a simple
picture, AI took previous oil painting informationa nd a ut om a t ic a l ly d r ew t he s e eleme nt s i n apainting-style. I hope that visitors felt that thistech nolog y ha s the potentia l to ex pa nd v ideo
expression in the future.”■ Aiming to provide a space for visitors

to enjoy“This was the 5th time we have exhibited, but
this time we designed a booth as a showroom toshowcase our technologies. Drinks and snacks
were provided together with tables and chairs, andwe took pains to create a space for visitors to feelat ease in. Inter BEE 2018 was a satisfactory exhibition for us. We got a positive feeling from customers and achieved our objectives.”“On the other hand, the many booth erection
restrictions at the venue limited our booth designideas, which was a shame. For example, two-floor
booths are not permitted, so we couldn’t design for
an upstairs café space. Two-floor booths can be
39

erected at the same venue for different exhibitions,so we would be grateful if the restrictions wereloosened a little. We hope that Inter BEE will takeon board ideas behind “convivial space” booth
creation and allow freer booth erection.”“Video wa l l cu stomer s i nclude gover n ment
offices in addition, of course, to partner manufacturers and SIer companies. As a result of creating aspace to be enjoyed by such B2B visitors, we hadmany comments like ‘this is great’ . We very muchhope to continue exhibiting as an AZLAB showroom at Inter BEE from next year onwards.”

Aims of Promoting the Brand Powerof RAMSA and Solo Exhibit in theProfessional Audio Equipment
Category: On-site Workflow
Improvement and Proposals of
Solutions for Business Optimization■ What were your exhibition themes and aims?
The common themes for Panasonic this year
were「advanced technology」and「efficient workstyle.」We put on an exhibit focused on spatial
a cou st ic s u nder t he concept of「Re sea rch ofAdvanced Music Sound and Acoustics」derived
from RAMSA in addition to these common themesin the RAMSA booth in the Professional Audio
Equipment category. RAMSA started as an acoustic
equipment brand of Panasonic in August 1979. It iscelebrating its 40th anniversary in 2019. Accordingly, we decided to put on a solo exhibit in theP rofes siona l Aud io E qu ipment categor y. T hepur pose of this wa s to once aga in promote its
brand power to the industry by exhibiting solutions
in a form that combined products and softwarewith the consistent stance of working on making
good sounds while incorporating state-of-the-art
technology. (Mr. Mitsuhashi)
We once exhibited every year in the Professional
Audio Equipment category separate to the Panas on ic boot h . However, we ex h ibit e d R A M SA
together with video equipment in the PanasonicNews Center Pick up-4

booth in the Video Production/Broadcast Equipment category for 10 years from 2006 and also lastyear. There is a difference between the customers
who visit the Video Production/Broadcast Equipment categor y and the customers who visit theProfessional Audio Equipment category at Inter
BEE. Therefore, we wondered whether it would be
po s sible t o promot e t h i s br a nd t o even morecustomers in the professional audio industry by
putting on a solo exhibit in the Professional Audio
Equipment category. This is a brand we built up
together with customers on the front line of acoustics. Accordingly, a big part of our intentions forparticipating at Inter BEE was to exhibit products
developed u nder t he concept of bei ng able tocontribute to the professional audio industry. (Mr.
Mitsuhashi)■ Exhibit of a line array speaker, new amplifier

product and acoustic simulation software

In addition to our WS-LA500A series line arrayspeakers we released in 2017, we also exhibited
our new WP-DM900 series of in-built DSP digital
power a mpl i f ier product s a nd ou r Pa na son ic
Acoustics Simulation Designer (PASD) acoustics
simulation software including line array speakers
at Inter BEE 2018. (Mr. Matsumoto)
Our new WP-DM900 series of digital power amplifier products has a lineup of three rated output
models: 1,200 W × 4 ch (WP-DM948), 600 W × 4 ch
(WP-DM924) and 300 W × 4 ch (WP-DM912). These

products are four channel digital power amplifierswith inbuilt high-function DSPs. They are compatible with the Dante Audio Network IP transmission
protocol developed by Audinate that can transmit
digital voice over a Gigabit Ethernet. The PASD
acoustic simulation software is used to automatically generate acoustic ad justment parametervalues through the LAN port and to automaticallyadjust the parameter values according to on-site
mea su rements. T h is ma kes it possible toefficiently adjust acoustics.
This PASD is equipped with an FIR auto-tuning
tool in addition to an array speaker calculator tooland 3D acoustic simulations. This makes theoretical acoustic tuning possible in advance by capturi ng ha ll, live per for ma nce venue a nd stad iu marchitecture CAD data. Acoustic tuning data set
with this PASD is then transferred to the digital
power amplifier. Theoretical assumed acoustic
tuning can then be implemented on-site withoutchange. Moreover, differences in the characteristics obtained by actually measuring with microphones at the site are adjusted by the PASD andthe adjusted data is then transferred to the amplif ier s. T he proper t ies a s su med to be t he idea lacoustic characteristics during the simulation canbe adjusted just like that in the actual site. This
makes it possible to implement in a shor t time
without occupying the venue for acoustic tuning
on-site. Therefore, it is possible to improve worki n g ef f ic ie nc y. F u r t her mor e, PA SD m a ke s it

pos sible to ra i se t he ef f iciency of work f rom
acoustic parameter setting to acoustic tuning bybuilding a WP-DM900 series digital power amplifier network. We provide this PASD acoustic simulation software to customers who have chosen ourline array speakers and new in-built DSP digital
power amplifier products as their solution. (Mr.
Matsumoto)■ Important to allow customers to directly

see and experience actual machines

We exhibited the WS-LA500A series of RAMSA
line array speakers at INTER BEE EXPERIENCE:
X- Speaker th is yea r. However, because it wa ssuspended high up, it was only possible to see itfrom a distance. Many customers who came to ourbooth ca refu lly looked at the line a r ray itsel f
together with how to use and connect it. In addition, there were many customers who originally
had a n i nterest i n ou r acoust ic si mu lat ion
software and who directly said that they had cometo see it. It is possible for our customers to directly
see our actual machines in this way at Inter BEE.
Furthermore, they can actually operate and experience them. We would like to continue cherishingcommunication through such exhibitions in the
future. (Mr. Mitsuhashi)Inter BEE 2018 Exhibition ReportHall 8

■ MEET-UP original plan “Video Lab” (VOOK LABO)[Hands-on exhibitors]“Video Lab” was established within the MEET-UP as a place to research the equipment,
products and software being launched at Inter BEE. There are so many items on showat Inter BEE that many people have been at a loss about what to look at and how toview different items. Also, since there are exhibits for each manufacturer and piece ofequipment, sometimes it is not clear where and how to use the equipment on show.
VOOK LABO launched “Video Lab” to produce a place for research of new equipment
appearing at Inter BEE from the viewpoint of producers, regardless of the
manufacturer or equipment in question.
