NTP Exhibit Audio Routing At BVE

NTP Technology will be displaying its range of audio routing and control equipment at Broadcast Video Expo 2010 at London's Earls Court exhibition centre in February.
Exhibiting on Stand H9, NTP will demonstrate the new Penta 725 compact modular audio router and RCCoreV3 configuration-and-control software.
Mikael Vest, NTP Technology Sales Director, said: "BVE is becoming an increasingly important event in the annual round of broadcast industry exhibitions. The show has succeeded in attracting strong attendance from UK broadcasters as well as video production and post-production companies."
Making its UK market debut at BVE 2010, NTP's Penta 725 series is a new-generation compact modular audio router designed for sound recording studios, post-production facilities and mobile production vehicles, as well as television and radio broadcasting.
The Penta 725 packs up to 384 x 384 crosspoints into a compact 1 U 19-inch chassis. Sixty-four AES3 stereo and four MADI inputs/outputs can be accessed for interfacing digital audio sources. Controllable via TCP/IP or front-panel navigation keys, the Penta 725 accommodates a variety of software modules. 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. The compactness of the Penta 725 will be particularly appreciated by system integrators seeking to achieve maximum space-efficiency.
Also new to Broadcast Video Expo, NTP Technology's RCCore software allows configuration, control and supervision of all router modules in an NTP audio signal distribution system.
RCCoreV3 can be used as a stand-alone controller within the NTP 635-300 router or run from standard PC hardware. It allows highly efficient control of the router's dual-backbone interface and supports the double LAN interface on 625-800 frames. It also forms a communication interface to NTP's VMC and BLISS control options and 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.
The Penta 725 compact modular audio router and RCCore control application are available now.
NTP Technology develops, manufactures and distributes broadcast--quality digital audio routers, signal processors and control software for the world market. The company was established in 1958 and is a major supplier of high-reliability audio routing systems for major international broadcasters.
