D&M Lay Out Wares At PL&S

D&M Business & Professional Group (Europe) is exhibiting its Denon Professional and Marantz Professional product ranges at Prolight + Sound 2010.
These are based on SD flash and Blu-ray disc media.
Products for broadcast and AV systems integration, and professional and commercial audio applications include the new range of solid state players from Denon Professional and industry leading flashcard recorders from Marantz Professional.
Also being shown is a new professional Blu-ray disc player for the display of HD content in DOOH and digital signage applications.
The two initial models in Denon Professional's new solid state player series address specific applications in pro audio and commercial AV.
The DN-F300 is an advanced 1U/HE rackmount solution for the playback of MP3 and uncompressed .WAV music libraries stored on SD and SDHC flashcards (up to 32GB), portable USB flash drives, and self powered HDDs.
Employing technology and features derived from Denon Professional's leading broadcast CD players to provide dedicated hardware control for the navigation, management and programmable play of digital music files, with virtually maintenance free operation, the DN-F300 is intended as a modern digital media replacement for carousel CD players in BGM and other playback applications in bars, restaurants, clubs, retail complexes, visitor attractions, houses of worship, and fitness centres.
With the equivalent storage of upwards of 10 CDs worth of music on a single SD card, it is similarly priced to a standard five CD professional carousel player.
The DN-F400 is an advanced digital media solution for the continuous or triggered playback of MP3 and uncompressed .WAV sound files stored on SD and SDHC flashcards (up to 32GB).
Its compact, single half-RU space saving form and simple facia with hardwire (dip switch) rear panel setup are designed specifically for instant or programmed repeat messaging, fire and safety voice alarm announcements, radio spots, live event and theatre sound FX, and kiosk applications, as well as continuous playback applications like voice on hold and BGM.
The RC-F400S serial remote controller provides an intuitive user interface, featuring a large backlit LCD display for file navigation and loading of hot starts. Full navigation and transport control includes features like Power-On and Auto Play, and enables audio and sound FX files to be readily assigned to each of the 20 Hot Start buttons.
Together the DN-F400 and RC-F400S are a powerful, significantly cost effective alternative to sound FX payback and management software systems, and a modern dependable replacement for outmoded CART, CD and MD players.
To meet the increasing demand for HD video content for use in DOOH and digital signage applications, Denon Professional is launching the DN-V500BD professional Blu-ray player. A truly universal HD media player, the DN-V500BD is capable of playing just about every disc you can throw at it, including BD-Rom (BD-Video), DVD-Video, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW with support of VR mode discs, audio CDs, CD-R/RW, MP3, WMA audio, JPEG written CD-R/RWs, and Kodak Picture and Fuji Color CDs. Additionally, a front panel mounted flash memory card slot supports content stored on SD, SDHC, miniSD and microSD memory cards.
The full current range of Marantz PMD industry leading solid state recorders is being shown, including handheld, portable and rackmount models, intended for location, ENG and systems integration applications.
