For meeting the growing demand for standardized protocols for IP based intercom, the European Broadcast Union (EBU) defined the specifications for interoperable intercom-over-IP. The EBU Tech 3347 standard will allow for a standardized operation between interfaces of different vendors, thus changing the way large installation will be handled in the future. Interoperable intercom will also make it easier for broadcasters to communicate with each other at large-scale events such the Eurovision Song Contest, which is run by the EBU.

The EBU Tech 3347 standard makes use of technology already common in IP tel

Now Elation is introducing its highest-output Platinum fixture yet. Designed for larger venues and productions, the new CMY colour-mixing Platinum Spot 15R Pro moving head blasts out brightness comparable to 700-watt and even 1,200-watt fixtures. Yet its compact case is only about one-third the size of a conventional 700-watt moving head (409 x 419 x 541mm), and it draws just one-quarter of the power.

This output-to-size/energy use ratio is the result of the new, more powerful 300W Philips MSD Platinum 15R lamp, which brings all the advantages of Platinum technology to concert/aren
