ADENA Hack: How to complement your AREC setup

AREC devices are flexible and can be used with a variety of devices to complement their features. For example, you can use computer mice to operate interactive GUI, or regular numeric keypads to control basic features like theme switching or recording and streaming controls. However, we are also introducing two additional accessories to make your recording and streaming experience even more pleasant - these are UB-01 and AM-01. The UB-01 is a recording light - when it is connected to AREC Media Station via USB, it can issue start and stop recording commands, as well as show if a recording session is in progress. The device can be mounted on a wall to provide a visible cue for the presenter. AM-01 is a receiver for the wireless microphone - it can be used to pair AM-600 and AM-601 microphones with computers, Media Stations that don’t have inbuilt antennas, and other devices via USB to capture their audio. Both accessories are available now and can be used together with other AREC and third party solutions to expand our products’ features. Find out more information about these devices in their product pages, or contact us at www.a-dena.com and we will be happy to assist you.

How to manage multiple stations in one window

All LS and KL Stations support control via the Station Manager app. This free-to-use app is designed to show Media Stations’ previews, control their recording and streaming, change Themes, as well as keep track of information such as available storage and status. Using the Station Manager app, you are able to initiate recording and streaming on AREC stations remotely, even when not in the same network. The app also comes with a grouping feature, allowing you to divide stations into groups of 6 for easy monitoring and control. Thus, the Station Manager app can be used to create a control center and assist with the remote operation of devices in all kinds of situations. Watch the following video to learn more about this app and contact us at www.a-dena.com for more information about AREC solutions.

How to set up an interlude during your stream

All LS and KL models with the latest 2.8 FW version are now able to use a special layout that will only show backgrounds and overlays - layout #0. In order to access this layout, enter the “System Administrator” web page of your Media Station, proceed to “Video” -> “Theme”. Create a theme, select the first layout available (unlike regular layouts, it does not have a source icon), select a background and/or overlay, give it a title and save. You will then be able to call this Theme using any of the control methods available for AREC Media Stations

Interlude themes can be used for many applications - they allow users to smoothly change speakers on stage and display information about the next speaker, adjust a scene, display sponsor information or other important information, and put a pause without actually pausing the stream.
