Rane Serato Scratch Live

A software/vinyl solution that works without glitches! Check out the forums, you'll see that the Serato Scratch Live by Rane is way more reliable and easier to use than earlier digital/vinyl interfaces. Using regular turntables or CD players, you can scratch and mix files from your Mac or Windows XP computer's CD or hard drive, add in a live mic input for scratching, and even bypass to standard vinyl if you wish. The Rane Serato's unique control screen gives you unprecedented realtime side-by-side visual command with color-coded frequencies so you can distinguish bass and snare hits for flawless beat matching. You can even control song selection from the vinyl.

The Rane Scratch Live SL 1 interface connects one or two standard vinyl or CD turntables to your computer. This extremely rugged, portable, high quality, bus-powered USB interface features 2 switchable phono or line inputs, a microphone input, 2 line outputs, and pass thru outputs for the phono/line and mic.

The included 12" vinyl records each have a Serato exclusive control signal which allows Scratch Live to track the motion of the record, simulating the same movement with digital audio. Due to Serato's proprietary control scheme, the result is a feel and sound indistinguishable from playing vinyl. As a producer and DJ, the track you finished today can be played on a real turntable tonight. You'll never have to cut a dubplate again!

Rane Mongoose

The Mongoose and its Tracker software work with Rane’s Remotes Audio Devices (RADs) and your CobraNet network to deliver digital audio to the “last mile” of installations – between the equipment room/rack and remote spaces. OK, it’s not a mile, we lied: it’s actually 100 meters (328 feet to those in Liberia, Myanmar and the USA).

The Mongoose’s 32-by-32 digital audio matrix router receives its first 16 audio channels from up to eight RADs via the eight rear panel 8P8C (RJ-45) Remote Audio Device ports. The second 16 matrix input channels come from two eight-channel CobraNet receive (Rx) Bundles via standard CobraNet Primary and Secondary/backup ports. The 32 matrix router outputs transmit 16 channels to eight RADs and 16 more channels to two CobraNet transmit (Tx) Bundles.

A family of RAD models is shown below. Each converts analog audio to or from 24-bit, 48 kHz digital audio. Each RAD mounts in a standard US electrical gang box, typically scattered throughout a facility. Standard CAT 5 cable and termination transport four digital audio channels – two channels in each direction – as well as power, ground and a communications channel via Rane’s proprietary RAD Network.

Mongoose’s rear panel Ethernet port provides for direct or network connection to a computer running Rane’s Mongoose Tracker setup software. Inexpert users are assured easy network communications with Zeroconf (Link-local/mDNS) and DHCP support. Gone are the days of installers requiring intricate IP knowledge. Yet, facility network managers can configure Mongoose like any other IP network device. The Ethernet port also supports Auto MDI/MDIX which automatically detects and permits either an Ethernet crossover cable (included) or a standard Ethernet cable to be used when directly connecting to a computer for setup.

• 32 by 32 digital audio matrix router
• Receive 2 and transmit 2 CobraNet Bundles
• Supports up to 32 digital audio channels from up to 8 RADs
• Ethernet port supports DHCP, Zeroconf (Link-local & mDNS) & Auto MDI/MDIX
• Mongoose Tracker setup software for PC is included

Media Vision - TAIDEN HCS-5300

The TAIDEN HCS-5300 fully digital Infrared wireless conference system brings the latest in digital infrared technologies and networking techniques to the conference microphone. The TAIDEN HCS-5300 Series consists of the Conference Control Unit CCU, delegate units, digital IR transceiver units, and application software. HCS-5300 system guarantees privacy as the infrared frequencies will not pass through walls. The delegate units are powered by detachable, lithium battery packs that can be charged by the HCS-5300CHG. The software allows users to quickly set-up, display, and save information about each conference, and even in stand-alone mode, the HCS-5300 is competent for the management of various meetings via several basic conference management facilities.

The TAIDEN 5300 conference main unit communicates with the PC by the advanced TCP/IP protocol, theoretically, the communication distance between the PC and Control Main Unit CMU can be infinitely far away; this connection will also facilitate remote control, remote diagnosis, and remote update. The delegate stations are equipped with detachable microphone, built-in speaker, electronic voting buttons, and language selectors.
