Russound introduces Smart Select Volume Control, a microprocessor-controlled device that integrates Russound's UltraMatch impedance matching control technology with multi-zone automation functionality, eliminating the need for a separate impedance matching speaker selector. The micro-processor controls the volume's output level as well as room on/off functions. With a few simple calculations and jumper settings, the SSVC can be configured for as many as 12 sets of speakers connected to a single amplifier, making it suitable for commercial and residential applications. An easy-to-read three-color LED status indicator provides a quick visual check of the installation. A touch of the "All Rooms" button on any Smart Select Volume Control will activate or deactivate speakers throughout the house. Its unobtrusive adjustment knob allows easy volume modification and quick visual setting indication for a particular room. The 12-step Smart Select Volume Control provides up to 43dB of attenuation and can handle up to 126 watts (42 WRMS per channel) with a frequency response of 20 to 20,000, +1, -.5dB. The SSVC requires the use of Russound's Power Interrupter Module or the company's Smart AC Power Controller, which provides a total of eight 110v AC outlets (2 non-switched, 4 switched, and 2 switched) with individual time delays. It also provides a switched 12v DC output that can be employed to control other devices or integrate with other home automation products. When coupled with the company's optional Smart AC Power Controller module, the SSVC can turn source equipment on or off; with a Russound IR repeater added to SSVC and Smart AC, a user can control on/off operation as well as function and mode of source components from any Smart Select Volume Control. The Russound Power Interrupter module — along with a power supply such as Russound's 1201A — combines with the SSVC to provide a basic system operation without controlling source equipment. This unit fits in a standard 20" cubic J-box.
Plus 8 Video has enlarged its inventory to encompass the Panasonic AJ-HD2000 D5 VTR and a number of Fujinon high-definition lenses. The Panasonic AJ-HD2000 integrates an HD processor into the same compact 6U size as a conventional VCR. It records a full 124 minutes via 10-bit digital recording — with four channels of digital sound — onto a compact 1/2" cassette. Both picture and sound quality satisfy HD studio standards with minimal dubbing degradation. Features include high-precision, high-quality, field-by-field editing; 60/59.94 and 1035/1080 compatibility; and a complete HD SDI interface. The system also features an optional built-in down converter allowing producers to work in conventional broadcasting systems which Plus 8 Video is offering as a standard item.
The Fujinon line of high-definition lenses employ a proprietary optical design that uses special coating to eliminate flare at black level and increase contrast and sharpness. With Fujinon's "inner floating system" of optical correction, chromatic aberration is all but eliminated, even at the highest lens sizes and focal lengths. The specific Fujinon lenses available at Plus 8 Video include the "Wide Power" HA10x5.2 EVN/ERD, HA20x7.5 EVM/ERD and HA66x9.5 ESM.
