NTP Technology Sets Eyes And Ears On VDT Symposium Bavaria

Following a successful 127th AES Convention in New York in early October, NTP Technology heads to Germany for the biennial International VDT (Verband Deutscher Tonmeister) Symposium.
NTP is one of 17 advanced audio technology specialists participating in the event which will be held at Schloss Hohenkammer near Munich, Friday October 30, through Sunday, November 1.
Mikael Vest, NTP Technology's Sales Director, said: "VDT has developed in recent years to the point where it is now one of the most important events in the European audio engineering calendar. It provides a very useful forum for suppliers and customers in the radio, television and recording studio sectors to discuss the latest production methods and the opportunities resulting from ongoing technical progress."
Three recently-announced products will be exhibited by NTP: The Penta 725 series is compact modular audio router accommodating up to 384 x 384 crosspoints into a 1 U 19-inch chassis under TCP/IP or front-panel control. The Penta 725 is designed to house a variety of software modules. Up to 64 AES3 stereo and four MADI inputs/outputs can be accessed for interfacing digital audio sources. Two high-speed bi-directional links are included for connection to NTP 625 or additional Penta 725 systems. An AES3 monitor output is provided for input and output monitoring.
NTP Technology's RCCore software handles configuration, control and supervision of all router modules in an NTP audio signal distribution system. Used as a stand-alone controller within the NTP 635-300 router or run from standard PC hardware, it allows efficient control of the router's dual-backbone interface.
RCCore supports the double LAN interface on 625-800 frames and forms a communication interface to NTP's VMC and BLISS control options as well as to third-party communication protocols.
Features include remote access and log-in at expert-user level for system set-up, maintenance and database management. Secure access is possible via Virtual Private Network. A plug-and-play retro-compatible database can be held on the active controller and on standby controllers.
Mikael Vest added: "We will also be demonstrating the DAD AAX24 eight-channel audio converter. This is designed for use alongside high-end digital audio workstations where no-compromise recording quality is required. It supports 44.1 up to 192 kHz sampling rates as well as the 352.8 kHz DXD sampling rate used for recording and editing Super Audio CDs. An optional high-quality microphone preamplifier makes the AX24 the world's most transparent A/D converter microphone preamplifier."
