Domenico Gambino, VP of Sales
Why are you attending the show and what do you hope to get from it?
Mediatech is the premier show in Africa for many of the markets we serve,
including broadcast and the many verticals surrounding the professional AV and
entertainment industry. It’s critical to have a presence at this show if you are
serious about the African market. As the true original industry pioneer in Audio
over IP technology and solutions,we have a strong presence in many countries
across the continent – especially South Africa. We want to ensure that our end
users and partners, including systems integrators, are up to date on our activities
and solutions, as Barix continues to innovate and evolve.
Which product is the top one you will be displaying/launching and please
could you comment on the product itself?
Certainly, SoundScape is an important focus for this show. This is a complete,
integrated audio management and distribution systems for multipoint delivery of
music and advertising. In simple terms, SoundScape is positioned as an “in-store
radio’ solution, but in reality its reach is far more vast.
It is a targeted platform for delivery of branded audio for businesses and
organizations of all kinds, including but not limited to retail. Private radio networks,
content producers and end users alike will find this an exceptional, all-inclusive tool
for providing high-quality entertainment and information – including dynamic ad
insertion – to multiple locations. Since it is software-defined, SoundScape offers an
unparalleled network monitoring and management tool for player and firmware
updates, troubleshooting and more. And our next-generation Barix SoundScape
Exstreamer IP audio players ensure exceptional reliability and multi-format,
broadcast-quality audio at playout locations. The entire package is a dream for
systems integrators, as it’s as plug and play as you can get in an “in-store radio’
solution. Truthfully, this only scratches the surface, and we look forward to
introducing all that SoundScape delivers at Mediatech next month.

The top product that we will be displaying is our Rogue RH1 Hybrid, the latest
addition to our family of 7 Rogue Professional moving heads (2 Spots, 2 Beams & 2
Washes). There is no other moving head on the market like it, when you consider
the design versatility of its hybrid beam/spot capabilities, combined with its ultra-
bright output, unique feature set and value-driven price.
Martin Professional – Harman
Peter Dahlin, Manager Distributor Sales
2015 has been a fantastic year for Martin in South Africa. We have managed to also
make the Mac Viper family the industry Standard large format workhorse fixture in
South Africa and I would like to personally thank the customers who have shown
faith in Martin. We are running a contest for lighting designers. The participants
have received a Martin Show Designer file with a Martin rig. The grand final will be
at Mediatech where we have the real rig. I have been appointed as one of the
judges.
We will be showing the new second generation of LED wash lights – the Mac
Quantum Wash, the Mac Quantum LED Profile and the brand new Mac Aura XB with
its unmatched colour mixing system. After the success of Viper family in the 1000-
1500 watt segment it is time to focus on the 700-800 watt segment where the Mac
Quantum Profile with its powerful white LED engine and CMY colour mixing will be
the perfect replacement.
