products SSL upgrades C10 HD console O Foundry partner Luxology intros Modo 701 L ONDON — Luxology (www.thefoundry.co.uk) has released Modo 701, the latest version of its computer graphics software. The new release includes features that enhance modeling, sculpting, animation, effects and rendering workflows. Luxology merged with The Foundry last September. Through a substantial internal engineering effort and assistance from The Foundry, Modo is now available on Linux, bringing it to all three major platforms. Modo 701 highlights include a procedural particle engine with an easy-to-use pre-set workflow; audio playback and a sound channel modifier that helps with animations; schematic improvements for reducing scene graph complexity; and a dedicated dynamics simulation layer that improves performance. A new Python interpreter makes Python execution many times faster. Users now have access to unlimited network rendering. Large scene performance has been improved, as well as render synchronization. XFORD, UK — Solid State Logic (www.solidstatelogic.com) is showing V.4 software for its C10 HD compact broadcast console at the 2013 NAB Show, which introduces a range of features and options that expands the capability of the C10. The console offers the power and features of a larger console but for less cost and in a smaller footprint. Highlights of the V.4 upgrade include Function Key Macros, a feature that reduces the number of physical actions required to achieve specific tasks. The C10's routing allows operators to use a versatile source and destination group-based approach with operation from the control surface, rather than a separate computer. HyperRoute introduces an additional destination-based routing structure, which has the benefit of displaying destination source assignments without having to renavigate through paths. A new Control Surface Screen Saver extends the operational life of the control surface by switching off all of the OLED displays and screens when not in use. The maximum channel count available for C10 has been increased to 160 channels. The V.4 upgrade also introduces optional new Wide Range 2 Band Filters, which add high and low pass filters to the channel signal path. New Blue mic aimed at iPad set-ups W ESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA — Blue Microphones has introduced Spark Digital (www.bluemic.com/sparkdigital), a new mic for laptop and iPad-based recording set-ups. The Spark Digital is a condenser microphone that offers both USB and iPad connectivity. The mic expands on the quality and sound of Blue's Spark XLR studio mic, and features the same studio-grade condenser capsule and handtuned components for high-fidelity recording and consistent performance, whether it's for vocals, drums, piano, speech or location recording. Priced at $199, Spark Digital includes the Focus Control, which provides two different sonic options in one mic at the push of a button. The unit includes the adjustable desk stand and a built-in shockmount. Spark Digital offers plug-and-play performance, with no drivers needed. A headphone jack provides zero-latency, realtime monitoring. The release includes Blue's Cloud Production Bundle for audio back-up and online sharing. 46 Post • April 2013 Post0413_046,48-productsRAV3FINALREAD.indd 46 ScheduAll improves ERM software H OLLYWOOD, FL — ScheduAll (www.scheduall.com) will show a new version of its enterprise resource management software at NAB in Las Vegas.
