Con ADENA: Cómo combinar distintos productos AREC para instalaciones más efectivas.

Nuestros productos principales — Media Stations — son sistemas de producción AV independientes y todo en uno, con una amplia gama de aplicaciones en diferentes industrias. Sin embargo, destacan aún más cuando se combinan con otros elementos del ecosistema AREC. En esta publicación exploraremos algunas formas efectivas de combinarlos para mejorar su rendimiento y funcionalidades.

Luces de tally se encienden automaticamente al grabar con AREC Media Stations

Las cámaras AREC CI-21H y CI-22H complementan de manera natural cualquier Media Station gracias a sus luces de tally integradas, que se sincronizan con las Media Stations de AREC. Cuando la grabación está en curso, las luces de las cámaras conectadas se encienden automáticamente, ofreciendo una señal visual clara. Esto es especialmente valioso en instalaciones donde es importante informar a la audiencia sobre una grabación en curso.

La estacion de control DS-AC1 permite controlar AREC Media Stations y otros dispositivos AV

Las estaciones de control AREC DS-AC1 también son una excelente combinación para cualquier Media Station. Estos dispositivos versátiles pueden enviar y cambiar las fuentes de video en las Media Stations, transmitir fuentes de video individuales y enviar comandos RS-232/TCP. Además, el DS-AC1 cuenta con una interfaz dedicada para Media Stations, similar al Online Director, ofreciendo un entorno intuitivo y completo para monitoreo y control.

DS-4CU y DS-9CU realizan cambios automáticos en el modo de grabación

Las estaciones de seguimiento de orador AREC DS-4CU y DS-9CU, que soportan 4 y 9 canales respectivamente, mejoran cualquier instalación con capacidades avanzadas sin necesidad de programación. Su función principal es controlar las cámaras y mostrar automáticamente al orador activo usando sistemas de discusión integrados. Cuando se combinan con Media Stations, el DS-4CU y el DS-9CU pueden gestionar la grabación y transmisión de video mediante cambio de temas, una integración única entre nuestros productos. Además, pueden funcionar como mezcladores de video para Media Stations, combinando múltiples entradas, como cámaras, cámaras de documentos y computadoras, y entregándolas a través de múltiples salidas.

Combina LS-410 y DS-9CU para grabar y stremear en 4K

El DS-9CU destaca en este rol, ya que puede gestionar simultáneamente hasta nueve fuentes de video conectadas mediante HDMI, USB o entradas de red, mientras entrega video en calidad 4K. Hasta cuatro de sus fuentes pueden ser en 4K, convirtiéndolo en el acompañante perfecto para el LS-410, nuestra Media Station 4K. Con el DS-9CU, el LS-410 puede grabar hasta cinco fuentes de video simultáneamente mientras también aprovecha opciones adicionales de salida local y por red.

Existen muchas más combinaciones posibles con AREC. Contáctanos en www.a-dena.com y descubramos juntos cómo hacer que tus instalaciones sean únicas con nuestros productos.

Case Study: Seeing Every Voice – AREC DS-9CU and Televic Empower Caerphilly Council

Dear ADENA Partners, yet another UK council has chosen AREC and Televic solutions to enhance transparency and better engage constituents! Thanks to our distributor, the CUK Group / Tukans, and system integrator Kinly, this time it was Caerphilly Council. Our speaker tracking solution, the DS-9CU, ensures that all active councillors using the Televic D-Cerno are always visible, dynamically switching between connected network PTZ cameras to display them. The resulting video feed is sent to a KL-3T Media Station for recording and can also be streamed directly to social media platforms. Additionally, the DS-9CU feed is used in videoconferencing applications, where it serves as the council’s webcam. Read on to learn more.

Like many councils in the UK, Caerphilly Council places great importance on involving its constituents in the democratic process and making its work visible. It does so through various means – traditional and social media updates, public events, and the recording and streaming of council meetings. While the recordings previously produced by the council offered the public a way to stay informed about its activities, they were difficult to create and, as a result, only selected sessions were recorded and published. In addition, the original recording setup made it challenging to switch between cameras during meetings – meaning that sessions, which could involve up to 99 participants, were mostly captured using a single camera. Recognising the growing demand for high-quality digital content, the council chose to upgrade its AV system with a solution proposed by Kinly.

DS-9CU Speaker Tracking Station

The solution was built around the AREC DS-9CU – a powerful and versatile 9-channel speaker tracking station. This device effectively replaces live camera crews, significantly reducing costs and simplifying media production and minute-taking tasks. It operates fully automatically and includes a wide range of features tailored to the needs of government institutions. Highly flexible, the DS-9CU supports all types of video inputs, including AREC and third-party PTZ and fixed cameras, computers, and network streams via HDMI, USB, NDI|HX, RTSP, RTMP, and other protocols. The station displays and controls PTZ presets from connected sources through integration with microphone discussion systems, RS-232/TCP/HTTP API commands, and simple manual controls. Reinforcing its role as a camera crew replacement, the DS-9CU automatically composes video layouts featuring up to nine inputs, enhanced with user-defined overlay and background graphics, as well as text.

At Caerphilly Council, the DS-9CU works in conjunction with the Televic D-Cerno discussion system, configured to track 99 seats using three Avonic network PTZ cameras. When a D-Cerno microphone is activated, it prompts the DS-9CU to display one of the cameras assigned to that microphone and to call the corresponding PTZ preset. As discussions become more animated, it is likely that multiple microphones will be active at the same time — the DS-9CU manages this seamlessly using its selectable speaker tracking modes, ‘Override’ and ‘First-in-First-out’, ensuring that each councillor is shown in the correct order.

KL-3T Media Station

The council uses the discussion view produced by the DS-9CU as a video source for the KL-3T — a 3-channel Media Station that records and streams council meetings in Full HD. This station is particularly well suited for use in councils thanks to its built-in interactive display, which not only provides a clear overview of the ongoing recording and streaming, but also allows full control over video layouts, graphics, and other settings.

The council is also using the same discussion view as a webcam in videoconferencing applications – primarily Zoom and Teams – by means of an HDMI-to-USB signal converter. Using the DS-9CU in this way has allowed the council to significantly improve the visual clarity of its meetings, making full use of all available cameras and enabling dynamic switching between them without manual intervention.

See how our system works in practice by watching any recent council meeting recording on their YouTube channel – CaerphillyCBCTV – or take a look at the meeting from 23rd July, when the council used our products for the first time:
