Published: November 1, 2021

This year's expo was a little less conducive to that end, but that didn't stop manufacturers from announcing new products. Here are products coming out between early August and early October (though this is more of a guide to products coming out in late summer 2021, most of these products are scheduled to be released in the fall, which just sounds better).

Power

Just add Power's 2GО©/3G ST1 sound transceiver is an audio-only component that can function as an input or output. The ST1 allows integrators to add a stereo audio source to a Just Add Power system or extract stereo audio from an existing transmitter. As an audio input, the ST1 feeds stereo audio into the Just Add Power system. Any audio source with analog audio, such as a TV, SONOS amplifier, CD player, or microphone, can be connected and played on any receiver. As an audio output, the transceiver can play any stereo audio content from any Just Add Power device while providing variable audio control. This allows for the unique ability to send analog audio from a monitor to a main rack without the need for additional network cabling.

As a result of this innovation, integrators can easily create stereo audio distribution panels with unlimited inputs and outputs over network cabling. Furthermore, by simply combining transceivers and adding transmitters and receivers, audio and video can be mixed in new and unique ways. For example, you can watch a sporting event while listening to radio commentary, mix PC video and microphone audio for a presentation, or add a return audio channel.

In a completely dark environment, the intelligent IR LED automatically adjusts the brightness of the IR LED, prevents the image from flying, and provides a clearer image for various distances. This allows the installers to use two options for night recording, depending on the environment. Color night vision works well in places with atmosphere, such as suburban roads and warehouses. In a dark place with no light source, such as a dark hut in the forest, a smart IR LED records up to 25 meters away. The buil t-in microphone records audio, and the camera H. 265+video compression reduces bandwidth and video storage requirements without sacrificing the quality of the video.
