At the show, attendees can experience and interact with the
latest Sony products and solutions, including:
Corporate and Education Solutions
- AI-based Edge Analytics Appliance: Sony's first
Artificial Intelligence (AI) based video analytics solution, the
REA-C1000, allows users to create video content in real time,
without the need for specialized training, additional staff or
equipment.
The compact and lightweight REA-C1000, which is available now, uses
its advanced AI-based video analytics technology to analyze the
input it receives from connected cameras and automatically extract
the object in focus to combine it with other images in real time.
This unique technology uses motion/face detection and color/shape
recognition, enabling the REA-C1000 to be the powerful brain of any
connected camera and AV setup. The technology allows various
organizations to cost-effectively create professional, engaging
content. Optional features include handwriting extraction and
presenter overlay, chroma keyless CG overlay, PTZ auto tracking,
focus area cropping and close-up by gesture.
- IP-based PTZ camera lineup: Following the recently
announced 4K BRC-X400 camera, the
newly announced SRG-X400 and SRG-X120 join Sony's range of FHD
(full high definition) PTZ cameras. The cameras, which feature a
wide viewing angle, support IP and are equipped with
NDI®|HX1 capability through an optional license. The
NDI|HX option presents unprecedented flexibility in simple and
cost-effective IP-based live production systems when combined with
other NDI-compatible hardware or software anywhere on the
network.
The new cameras are compatible with Sony's Edge Analytics
Appliance. Both new models are available with a 4K upgrade option – a first for PTZ cameras.
- Laser projectors: The new VPL-FHZ75 (6500lm) and
VPL-FHZ70 (5500lm) cater to the increased market demand for high
brightness projection in midsize environments such as universities,
corporations, churches, museums and entertainment
installations.
Offering WUXGA resolution, both use a newly developed 0.76-inch LCD
panel with an incorporated optical compensator to deliver bright
and vibrant images with stunning contrast, offering true blacks and
accurate-to-life color reproduction. Both models come with a new,
innovative 'intelligent setting' feature that simplifies the
installation process by automatically selecting the best
configuration based on the projectors' environment.
- BRAVIA 4K
professional displays: Sony's series of BRAVIA
4K professional displays, ranging in
size from 43 to 85-inches, are ideal for digital signage,
information and monitoring applications, as well as use in meeting
rooms, classrooms, lobbies, hotel guest rooms, showrooms, retail
spaces and sports venues. The models offer powerful benefits,
including network and serial communication control, flexible
installation and high brightness, along with the option for
cloud-based digital signage. The displays also feature an
all-in-one system on a chip for easy installation with no
additional hardware required.
- Vision Exchange: Sony's intuitive and easy to configure
flagship interactive collaboration and active learning solution
creates an immersive environment for lecturers, students, and
colleagues to work together, learn and brainstorm ideas. Benefits
of Vision Exchange include BYOD wireless sharing, improved
communication and distance learning through Skype for Business, as
well as the smart Personal Note Taker and annotation
capabilities.
The latest version of Vision Exchange—Version 1.3—will be on
display and demonstrated for the first time in Sony's InfoComm
exhibit. Taking early adopting customers' feedback into
consideration, Version 1.3 offers improved operation workflow and
enhanced features, such as the ability to power on and off both the
main unit and each pod simultaneously, as well as the ability to
save snapshots automatically to a USB drive inserted into the main
unit or pods.
- UbiCast interactive video learning
solution: Sony and UbiCast's Miris Netcapture software and
Miris Video Platform provide easy-to-use, network-based lecture
capture and enable interactive learning experiences. The UbiCast
solution can also integrate with Vision Exchange to create more
engaging video content. In combination with Vision Exchange, the
new Miris Netcapture offers education organizations a flexible and
scalable solution that cost-effectively enables interactive
lectures and lecture capture all at once. Miris Netcapture records
the streamed content from Vision Exchange and transfers it to
UbiCast's Miris Video Platform for editing, managing and
distributing the video content through a video player dedicated to
social learning. This network-based content capture solution
removes the need for each room or lecture hall to be equipped with
its own recording device. Instead, Miris Netcapture is permanently
located in the server room and dynamically captures the required
classroom with Vision Exchange equipped.
Entertainment Solutions
- Crystal LED display system: Sony's immersive Crystal LED
display system – which recently received a 2019 Display Industry
Award for "Display of the Year" from the Society of Information
Display – delivers amazing contrast, thanks to a 99 percent black
surface area using ultrafine light elements, precise color
reproduction, and a nearly 180-degree viewing angle. Its modular
nature enables the Crystal LED display system to accommodate
virtually any size or aspect ratio. The technology is currently
used in professional applications such as corporate showrooms,
retail, R&D centers, museums and studios with installations at
more than 50 sites across the globe.
At the show, Crystal LED will be shown in an expansive and engaging
8K x 4K
configuration, showing spectacular 8K
footage. New to InfoComm is Sony's Crystal LED display system in a
portrait configuration, optimized for lobby and reception
environments. The eye-catching display will be featured in the Sony
booth in an 8 ft. x 15 ft. setup, showcasing its versatility and
applicability in the corporate market.
- Sonic Surf VR immersive spatial audio solution: Sonic
Surf VR audio technology combines multi-channel speakers, displays
and specially developed software designed to simulate placing,
moving and partitioning sounds in one space. The result is an
interactive area where sounds move freely around within a space to
create immersive experiences.
At InfoComm, content will be shown that directs visitors where to
stand and move so they can intuitively follow and enjoy an
immersive audio and visual experience.
- VPL-GTZ240 2,000 lumen native 4K Projector: The VPL-GTZ240 is compact and
affordable, expanding Sony 4K
projectors to cost-conscious or space-restricted applications such
as simulation and use in planetariums. The compact projector
incorporates the latest Sony native 4K SXRD imager and Z-phosphor laser light source
and achieves up to 2,000 lumens of high brightness. The brightness
and color temperature of the VPL-GTZ240 has been pre-adjusted in
order to reduce the adjustment time for multi-projection. The
projector also offers new "Impulse" modes that insert black to
reduce blur in fast-moving scenes, with less reduction of
brightness.
Healthcare Solutions
- Content Management System (CMS): Sony's CMS is a simple,
secure and comprehensive way to manage surgical videos and still
images from one central location. It allows for network-based
searching, editing, storage and distribution of 4K, 3D and HD video obtained from Sony medical
recorders and other compatible recording devices. Users can watch
recordings from PCs or iPads, and even stream live surgical
procedures, allowing a near real-time view into the operating room
for staff and residents.
- NUCLeUS Integrated Digital Operating Room Platform:
NUCLeUS is the smart digital operating room platform for today's
ORs. It is an open, scalable and vendor neutral video-over-IP
platform that transforms surgical workflow efficiency. The system
features an intuitive touch screen interface that can instantly
route any image source to any destination, with no need to
re-connect equipment. It allows users to direct multiple video
sources simultaneously in any combination of formats and
resolutions. NUCLeUS is device, format and resolution agnostic,
handling HD, 3D and 4K sources from a
wide range of modality manufacturers. Video and audio are
distributed in near real-time over secure standard IP connections
for centralized storage and viewing across the hospital. Every
signal can be recorded simultaneously and there is no longer a
limitation on what signals can be recorded. The system gives
surgeons control over a wide range of image sources in the
operating room, ranging from endoscopes, ultrasound streams and
PACS workstation input to fluoroscopes, among others.
