Consumer-ready SH51-03A Provides Manufacturers Quick Time-to-Market to Address Growing Need for 4K Solutions
ORLANDO, Fla., June 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Inneos, LLC, the industry leader in Video over Fiber transport, today demonstrated the new SH51-03A, capable of carrying Full-bandwidth HDMI(TM) 4K60 with 4:4:4 color. Unlike disparate chip-and-transceiver solutions, the SH51-03A transmits lossless video over a single fiber.
"What's unique about the SH51-03A is that it transports the full 18 gigabits of bandwidth required by HDMI(TM) 2.0 using three independent 6 Gbps lanes and a separate clock, all packaged in a fully integrated, bidirectional subsystem. There is a loss of information through compression and chroma subsampling used by other manufacturers. Sacrificing performance is not ok with us. Inneos offers the only single fiber solution on the market today that will transmit the full bandwidth of HDMI(TM) 2.0 on a single fiber," said Martin Smith, Inneos Director of Marketing. "And we do so with an installation-ready subsystem that enables OEMs to capture the Full Bandwidth HDMI(TM) market quickly."
"We have not finished Beta-testing this product and yet OEMs are lining up to place pre-orders," said Brian Peters, Inneos CEO. "We take that as confirmation that our customer base want solutions that are capable of transmitting all of the data that today's 4K camera will capture."

xG Technology and DirectView Begin Beta Testing Body-Worn Camera Solution with xMax Private Mobile Broadband Technology
Initial Testing Demonstrates Ease of Connectivity Plus Secure and Seamless Video Transmission Quality Using the xMax Network
SARASOTA, Fla., June 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- xG Technology, Inc. ("xG" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: XGTI, XGTIW), a developer of wireless communications and spectrum sharing technologies, today announced it has begun collaborating with its Technology Alliance partner DirectView Holdings, Inc. ("DirectView") (OTC: DIRV), in beta testing of DirectView's innovative body-worn camera solution for law enforcement agencies. xG announced its agreement to integrate xMax private mobile broadband technology with the DirectView camera on April 27, 2015.
xG and DirectView conducted initial integration and testing of one of the first-received DirectView body-worn camera units last week at xG's central engineering facility in Sunrise, FL. Initial test results showed that DirectView's camera hardware was easily recognized by the xMax system, and that video transmissions were seamlessly supported over the xMax network.
Tim Moynihan, Vice President of Sales at xG Technology, said, "As expected, the native IP design of the xMax system allowed it to quickly initiate and maintain flawless connectivity with the DirectView camera, and to successfully carry video transmissions over the xMax network. We see our patented xMax wireless mobile broadband system as a key requirement for public safety agencies. Having real time situational awareness through body cameras will change the paradigm for law enforcement. However, it will require a dedicated network that is always available and highly secure--which is exactly what xMax delivers."
He continued, "We look forward to working closely with DirectView during the beta phase of product testing and into full field evaluations with interested law enforcement agencies. Our collaboration with DirectView, coupled with our other recently-announced Technology Alliance agreements with Drakontas and Radio IP, underscore xG's commitment to growing an ecosystem of best of breed applications that offer real value to prospects in law enforcement, emergency management, military and other markets."
Roger Ralston, CEO and Board Chairman of DirectView, said, "We are pleased to report the successful testing and integration of the xMax platform with our innovative body-worn camera solution. We look forward to broadening our relationship with xG and expanding our beta program to eventually provide field testing of the consolidated xMax/DirectView solution to the numerous law enforcement agencies that will benefit from this advanced technology offering."

Fairphone Furthers Ambitions for Fair Electronics with the Fairphone 2
AMSTERDAM, June 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
The social enterprise's upcoming phone features game-changing modular architecture for
increased longevity and repairability
Today, Fairphone released the first images of its new smartphone design, officially
marking the much-anticipated launch of the Fairphone 2. This is the second model developed
by the company which aims to create a fairer supply chain through the production of its
phones.
Established in 2013, Fairphone has sold 60,000 Fairphones to buyers who believe that
their purchases can contribute to a fairer economy. Their commitment allowed Fairphone to
start making a positive impact across the value chain in mining, design, manufacturing and
life cycle. The company proves that social values and profitability can be combined.
Thanks to these initial sales and the support of its community, Fairphone is now poised to
increase its impact with the creation of its own original design.
Original design takes fairness ambitions one step further
The Fairphone 2 will incorporate and expand upon the ongoing initiatives such as
sourcing conflict-free minerals from the DR Congo and investing in a second
worker-controlled welfare fund in China.
In 2014, Fairphone took a major step with the decision to invest in an original
design. This design approach improves Fairphone's oversight of its supply chain and
ability to increase transparency and positive social impact. Moreover, designing the phone
from the inside out allows Fairphone to increase the product's longevity and sense of
ownership among users by employing a game-changing modular architecture.
Designed to last longer and give users more control
The Fairphone 2 features innovations designed to extend the usable life of the phone.
In addition to a Full HD 5-inch display, Qualcomm(R) Snapdragon(TM) 801 platform and dual
SIM, the innovative back cover protects the phone without the use of an additional case.
Users can easily disassemble the device to repair the most commonly broken parts
themselves.
Pre-orders of the Fairphone 2 start this summer, with the first shipments expected in
autumn. The retail price will be EUR525 and in 2015 it will be shipped in Europe only. To
date, 50,000+ community members have subscribed to the Fairphone 2 interest list

"Leveraging Usage Data to Develop More Customer-Centric Connected Car Programs"
When: Tuesday, June 30, 2015 at 9:00am EST / 6:00am PST
What: Automakers continually battle to identify which connected car program features and services should be offered on different models and segments, and whether there are opportunities to de-spec legacy technologies such as CD players out of cars.

Doppler Labs Goes Global, Bringing the Here Active Listening System to Europe
Two wireless buds and an app allow you to control the way you hear the world and personalize live music
Sales now open through Kickstarter to EU and UK after U.S. Kickstarter campaign surpasses $430,000
New investment announced from entertainment giants Live Nation, Universal Music Group (UMG) and William Morris Endeavor (WME)
NEW YORK, June 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Doppler Labs today opened sales on Kickstarter (bit.ly/hereplus) for the Here Active Listening System(TM) in the UK and Europe, after the U.S. campaign's initial funding target of $250,000 was reached in just two days. Today's announcement follows an overwhelming amount of requests for access from music fans around the globe - especially those in Europe.
The Here Active Listening System consists of two wireless, in-ear buds and a connected smartphone app that let you instantly control and personalize your live audio environment. Use volume sliders, EQ and effects to adjust the real world sound in your ears for everyday scenarios like concerts, sporting events, air travel, open office environments or noisy commutes and create the perfect audio environment - for you - no matter the situation.
Through Kickstarter, supporters are able to purchase Here before it is available on the market, with special $199 pricing for one pair and $359 pricing for two. Other levels of support on Kickstarter allow backers to be a part of developing the Here audio platform, create custom pre-set filters and access other exclusive rewards.
Last week Doppler Labs announced new investment from Live Nation Entertainment, Universal Music Group (UMG) and WME. Doppler Labs has also forged partnerships with entertainment powerhouses like Coachella, Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, Tao Group, Soul Cycle and AM Only, and renowned artists like Tiesto, Hans Zimmer and Quincy Jones to help bring its products to market.
"The Here Active Listening System gives you the tools to have the perfect listening experience every time," said Noah Kraft, CEO and Co-Founder of Doppler Labs. "We all perceive sound differently, but everyone has been to a concert where the audio wasn't quite right or has been subjected to a long flight with a screaming baby. Here changes all that, giving control back to the listener by allowing you to curate what you hear and how you hear it. Our goal is to make it so you never have to deal with noise or a bad audio mix ever again."
Here's features include:
-- Real World Volume Control: Turn up, turn down or reduce your
surroundings to get the volume of your world exactly where you want it.
-- Equalizer: Use five EQ sliders to adjust how you hear the bass, mids or
treble of live music (or the real world).
-- Sound Effects: Add reverb, flange, vintage vinyl crackle, echo and more
to concerts or even your friend's voice.
-- Pre-Set Filters: Transform various daily life scenarios with Here's
specialized pre-set algorithms (e.g. reduce the baby crying on a plane,
suppress the subway screech, or boost the bass at a live show).
Groundbreaking Technology and Simple Design
The technology behind the Here system is fundamentally different from anything that has come before it. A series of signal processing algorithms target specific frequency ranges to modify sound as it enters your ears. Here captures the incoming sound waves, processes the audio in real-time and plays it back without any perceivable latency (e.g. in less than 30 microseconds, which is 1/10,000th the time it takes to blink your eye).
Doppler Labs' design team architected the product with a form factor that is just as impressive as its technology. The size and shape of the Here buds mask the complexity of their many components. The completely wireless system automatically pairs the buds with the Here smartphone app through Bluetooth. The buds have up to six hours of battery life and the included charging case holds up to two full additional charges, providing more than enough power for use at a music festival or a cross-continental flight without the need for a power outlet. Three sizes of custom silicon tips help provide a secure and comfortable fit.
Exclusively Available Through Kickstarter
Doppler Labs unveiled the Here system exclusively on Kickstarter to encourage collaboration with the site's forward-thinking community. The Kickstarter campaign features several reward tiers for consumers looking to support the development of Here and be the first to use the product. Product-based rewards now start at $199 (after the early bird $179 sold out), which is 20% off the planned list price. The campaign includes rewards for developers and music producers, including access to beta testing and a partnership with Doppler Labs' audio engineers to create and name your very own Here audio filter.
The Doppler Labs Team: Not Your Typical Startup
Doppler Labs has assembled a proven team of executives and leaders from the engineering, entertainment and design worlds who draw upon their years of experience at world-class companies including Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Pinterest, Nest, Square and Dropbox. In less than a year, Doppler Labs designed and launched its first product, DUBS Acoustic Filters. This early momentum set the foundation for the introduction of the Here Active Listening System, and with nearly a quarter million DUBS units sold to date, Doppler Labs has demonstrated its continued ability to execute with speed, quality and precision.
"The incredibly talented team at Doppler Labs helped build some of the most recognizable products in the world," said Fritz Lanman, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Doppler Labs, angel investor (Pinterest, Square, etc.) and Director at ClassPass. "Few startups have the scale of ambition as Doppler Labs, which aims to put a computer, speaker and mic in every ear and to make audio technology more immersive. With this team and vision, Doppler Labs is poised to be at the forefront of wearable tech innovation for decades to come."
About Doppler Labs
Founded in 2013 by industry leaders in the creative, tech and business worlds, Doppler Labs is on a mission to create wearable technology that makes computing more immersive and human. In the near-term we are focused on "hearables," wearable technology for the ears.

Kube Systems Innovates Again with Apple Watch Charging Solution
AUSTIN, Texas, June 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Kube Systems, Inc., today announced the launching of an innovative accessory to allow Apple Watch wearing hotel guests to charge their newest prized possession on the road and leave the Magsafe charging cable at home!
"We are thrilled to bring another innovation to market on the heels of the launch of our Marriott partnership last year." said Dave Weinstein, Vice President of Kube Systems. "Building on our long history of addressing the needs of hotel customers, we're proud to offer solutions that are tailor-made for the hospitality industry and designed to meet the always-changing power-hungry needs of consumers for their mobile devices."
KS Arm(TM) brings enhanced functionality to our KS Clock(TM) and KS Portable(TM) products which allows hotel guests to charge every Smartphone on the market without the need of their own cables.
As hotel guests around the world begin taking delivery of their Apple Watches later this month, they will be forced to stuff yet another charging cable into their bags as this new device "would likely need to be charged once a day". So now it will be the Magsafe charger for Apple Watch fighting for space in that already crowded carryon.
However, not for guests of those hotels that have purchased either the KS Clock or KS Portable System. Both solutions will accept our KS Arm(TM) with built-in Magsafe charger to free your guests from the dread of forgetting yet another charging cable at home or in the hotel.
Look for the KS Arm(TM) to begin shipping in Q4 of this year.
Kube Systems' products deliver the charging power guests need in all locations and with more convenience throughout the hotel property. The company develops products that integrate wired and wireless charging technologies.

Gill Electronics and OFS Brands Announce the First-to-Market Wireless Power Laptop Transmitter at NeoCon
CHICAGO, June 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Gill Electronics, Inc., a global leader in resonant wireless power and charging products, announced today that the company will be introducing its first-to-market TesLink(TM) Laptop Transmitter designed to wirelessly power devices with higher power requirements such as laptop computers during the NeoCon commercial interiors show taking place this week in Chicago.
OFS Brands, a prominent manufacturer of contract furniture and leader in integrating technology into flexible platforms that improve productivity for the way we work with stylish and tailored design concepts will be promoting this new technology in conjunction with Gill. Various products will be embedded within OFS Brand's diverse product lines showing a broad range of applications for wireless power. The full range of wireless power products can be seen during NeoCon from June 15-17 in OFS Brands showroom at the Merchandise Mart #1132.
The new transmitter is a Rezence(TM) based system capable of powering fixed devices like monitors or mobile devices such as laptop computers by delivering an unprecedented 33+W of power. The products will demonstrate this capability using wire-free laptops which incorporate a Rezence(TM)-based receiver and forgo the traditional power cord and transformer.
"OFS Brands is constantly looking to support integration of the right technologies into our products. Bring your own device (BYOD) is continuing to gain traction within the work environment and with that traction comes the need to power these devices," said Wes Harper, Technology Manager for OFS Brands. "The Rezence(TM) based standard products from Gill are designed to create a very convenient user-experience that just works, and that is important to us. Pair that with Intel's goal of developing tether-less laptops, and it became very clear to us that this is the technology to introduce within our customer-focused and forward-thinking products."
"Companies and individuals are looking for ways to improve productivity and integrate technology unobtrusively," remarked Brad Miller, Chief Technology Officer for Gill Electronics. "We envision all the places people work that enabling those people to bring their devices with them without having to worry about finding a place to plug them in. Having the power to charge laptops is the next step towards a wire free environment."
Other benefits of TesLink(TM) include:
-- Scalable Power - the ability to charge devices with different power
requirements and different power states on the same area at the same
time (i.e. a wearable device, smart phone, tablet and/or laptop).
-- Drop and Go Charging - simply set the device down on the charging area.
-- Multi-Device Flexibility - the ability to charge multiple devices
simultaneously.
-- Freedom of Placement - unlike first generation wireless charging, which
required specific placement of the device on a specific location on the
surface, resonant-based devices can be placed anywhere within the
charging area.
Gill has led the introduction of the first commercially available and FCC certified resonant wireless charging applications for computing and mobile devices based on the A4WP Rezence(TM) standard. Resonant products allow users to wirelessly charge their smart phones, tablets, laptops and other mobile devices without the need for "plugging-in" to a wall or other power outlet. Gill is working in partnership with other market leaders to produce and deploy products into the automotive, furniture, consumer electronics, and medical markets.
ABOUT GILL
Gill Electronics, Inc. is an innovative leader in resonant wireless power and charging. Gill is a founding and current board member of the Alliance for Wireless Power (A4WP). Gill is the first company in the world to release A4WP/Rezence based wireless power products and continues to be the market leader in commercialization of efficient, new and innovative products with advanced features.

Chelsio Announces Support For NVIDIA Tesla Accelerated Computing Platform
40GbE iWARP Taps NVIDIA GPUDirect RDMA Technology to Deliver 4X Improvement in Latency and Throughput
SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Chelsio Communications, Inc., a leading provider of Ethernet adapters for virtualized enterprise data centers, cloud service installations, and cluster computing environments, today announced that its T5 iWARP RDMA over Ethernet adapters now fully support NVIDIA(®) GPUDirect(TM) RDMA technology. Production-level T5 iWARP driver software for NVIDIA Tesla(®) GPU accelerators is available immediately.
NVIDIA GPUDirect RDMA is a key component of the NVIDIA Tesla Accelerated Computing Platform, the leading platform for accelerating data analytics, deep learning and scientific computing. GPUDirect RDMA eliminates CPU bandwidth and latency bottlenecks using direct data transfers between GPUs and other PCIe devices, bypassing the host processor and memory. With its full support for NVIDIA GPUDirect and NVIDIA GPU Tesla accelerators, Chelsio is delivering a high-performance Ethernet connectivity solution to address customers' most demanding data analytics and scientific applications.
"We are pleased to support the leading accelerated computing platform with iWARP, and help NVIDIA bring new levels of computational performance to data analytics and HPC customers," said Wael Noureddine, vice president of technology, Chelsio.

Comongames is coming to E3 2015 to show new game in development: The Uncertain!
LOS ANGELES, June 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- We are a young team of developers who are aspiring to create a game that can match those of AAA quality. Come visit us at E3 2015 at booth 2863 (South Hall) to see The Uncertain firsthand, play the demo and get any information you would like!
The Uncertain -- an adventure game from Comongames company -- is just getting ready for launch, but it has already earned a good reputation. The project was presented in several exhibitions and many websites and received a lot of positive reviews. Of the thousands of visitors of the game on STEAM GREENLIGHT, 99% said YES to the project.
The game belongs to the popular genre of interactive movie where the player constantly interacts with his or her environment, gradually moving through the story. The action takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting: humanity died in result of war and its place was taken by former servant robots. The story revolves around one of those robots.
The player takes the role of the robot-engineer who lives in the village abandoned by people. When interacting with objects, the robot expresses his thoughts and ideas guided by the logic of the robot, which is vastly different from human logic. For example, if the robot expresses his thoughts on the furniture, he will note convenience for any type of work and mechanical characteristics, but not the aesthetic components like colors or elegant form. But that's not the point of the game - the main character seeks to know people better than he could by reading old books. The whole game is built around this idea and who knows, maybe in sequels our hero will be much more humane than he is now...
The plot is not disclosed, but the games of this genre traditionally have good and detailed stories.
The project is being developed on the Unity game engine, and provides a very pleasant picture. The graphics in the game reach the level of the AAA class titans, replete with modern effects and looks very nice. Cinematic cameras and smooth transitions make the gaming world very addictive. The high quality background music is already available on the game's website.
Expected release for mobile devices and consoles.
Developers promise to bring into play not only quests and stories, but also add action elements, car chases and even stealth system. If these promises come true, who knows, maybe one of the most interesting adventure indie games awaits us. Let's wait and see!

New Airwheel Electric Scooter Will Bring More Surprises
-- Summer is coming, and so is the Airwheel new product launch that Airwheel fans are looking forward to
CHANGZHOU, China, June 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- With the approaching of the new Airwheel launch date on 18 June, in Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province, people are beginning to predict its new features.Many people are expecting the new self-balancing scooter to be single-wheeled, since riding the electric unicycle is increasingly becoming a more popular mode of transportation. Besides, the single-wheeled electric scooter is easy-to-carry and light-weight, which makes it very convenient to be put away and therefore relieves people from the anxiety of finding parking space.
For people who are crazy about high-tech products, they hope that the new Airwheel electric self-balancing scooter will be equipped with another technological innovation that improves the intelligence of the scooter.
For those who like traveling and outdoor sports, they expect the new Airwheel electric scooter to have a unique and attractive appearance, and a special design that improves the rider's comfort. Many people increasingly rely on the Airwheel self-balancing scooter for traveling in pursuit of environmental-friendliness and healthy lifestyle. Many people enjoy the experiences of riding Airwheel electric scooters with friends to go on a trip, and enjoying the pleasures of riding and relaxation along the way.
Besides, more and more female consumers are joining the team of Airwheel electric scooter riders in pursuit of fashion and health. In contrast to male consumers, female fans are fond of two-wheeled electric scooters, and they hope the new product will feature light color, elegant appearance, and most importantly, a design that will make riding the Airwheel easy and safe. Unlike male riders, female riders pay less attention to the speed and high-tech elements of the Airwheel; instead, they focus more on its appearance, light weight, comfort, and automatic self-balancing.
Anyway, no matter what the new Airwheel self-balancing scooter will be, a few things will be certain -- Airwheel electric scooter will always combine convenience and environmental-friendliness with premium performances, high-tech innovations, and designs that priorize customer experiences.
China's First Hybrid Omnimedia Cloud Launched at Huawei and Sobey Omnimedia Industry Summit
SHENZHEN, China, June 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Huawei, Shenzhen Media Group (SZMG), and Sobey Digital Technology announced the launch of SZMG's Convergent News Center, China's first hybrid omnimedia cloud. The media cloud, jointly developed by the companies, integrates flexible computing resource pools and media resource pools based on All-IP network infrastructure to support a hybrid cloud video editing system that significantly enhances content editing and distribution processes.
Developed around Huawei Enterprise Business Group's guiding principle to build Business-Driven ICT Infrastructure, Huawei worked with SZMG and Sobey to create the Convergent News Center. Together, the collaboration identified the business requirements of broadcast media companies and conducted joint innovation to address these areas. Based on the Huawei Convergent Media Cloud Solution, the Convergent News Center is a hybrid omnimedia cloud that is based on a hybrid cloud infrastructure and leverages big data technology. It consists of two parts: a public cloud located outside of the TV station with low-bit-rate editing capabilities, and a private cloud within the TV station that offers high-definition and 6 layers video editing capabilities. The synergy between the public and private clouds significantly optimizes the content production process, which supports the omnimedia transformation of the traditional broadcast media.
The media cloud was launched at the Huawei and Sobey Omnimedia Industry Summit held in Shenzhen, China, which brings together representatives from broadcast media companies worldwide, industry-leading software providers, new media IT experts, third-party consulting firms, experts from organizations such as the China Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (CSMPTE), and industry analysts to discuss the role of the convergent media cloud in driving business success for the omnimedia era.
In the omnimedia era, cloud computing and big data technologies enable broadcast media companies to gather information of the location, habits, and preferred channels of their audience to provide them with customized programs at anytime, anywhere. At the event, Mr. Fu Fengchun, Chief Engineer, Shenzhen Media Group (SZMG), said, "SZMG wants to transform the broadcast media industry and move beyond the single way of media ingestion, closed production, and one-sided communication. The industry needs to embrace omnimedia convergence, co-platform production, and multi-channel distribution by using a cloud-based platform to integrate existing content resources."
"The shift towards using an ominmedia production and broadcasting cloud platform is an upcoming trend and an area that the TV and radio media can invest in. The broadcast media needs to equip themselves with intelligent, personalized, integrated, and all-in-one omnimedia production and broadcasting capabilities through adopting a cloud-based platform. The platform will allow them to focus on enhancing key capabilities including content ingestion, processing, production, management and distribution, as well as other areas such as intelligent sensing, dispatching, collaboration, and security guarantee capabilities," said Mr. Sheng Zhifan, Chief Engineer, Academy of Broadcasting Science, State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television of the People's Republic of China (SAPPRFT).
Mr. He Dabing, President, Marketing and Solution Sales, Enterprise Business Group, Huawei, said, "With a focus on exploring technological innovations around convergent media cloud platforms, Huawei has worked with our partners, Sobey and SZMG, to build the broadcast media industry's very first hybrid omnimedia cloud production platform. The media cloud enables hybrid cloud video editing, which significantly enhances the efficiency of content production. A private cloud system within SZMG is used for high-bit-rate editing, while a public cloud platform for video editing, transcoding, and rendering outside the TV station enables journalists to collect, edit, and upload video footage anytime, anywhere. In addition, integration between public and private cloud combined with big data analytics enables better use and access of massive content assets for precise content delivery to support omnimedia transformation.
At the Summit, Huawei showcased, for the first time, its Convergent Media Cloud Solution. Joe So, Chief Technology Officer, Business Industry Solution Department, Enterprise Business Group, Huawei, demonstrated the media cloud platform's ability to support convenient and seamless production and broadcasting. Attendees were able to upload photos and videos using their mobile phones and tablets to a media cloud platform, edit footage real-time, and distribute content to various platforms including video websites, online portals, and 4K TV channels.
"Aside from enhancing content production and broadcasting, our hybrid omnimedia cloud has laid a solid foundation for future new business opportunities," said Mr. Fu. "Its cloud-based IT architecture enables flexibility, allowing IT resources to be quickly realigned if required. For example, we can easily introduce new TV channels and programs as the rollout speed has been shortened significantly. Overall, the media cloud supports SZMG's efforts to provide our audience with a convenient and seamless audio and video experience and also significantly enhances resource utilization."
The Huawei Convergent Media Cloud Solution was jointly developed by Huawei and Sobey and as part of the collaboration, the companies invested in various technologies including large-capacity and high-performance storage, a professional-level video processing cloud computing platform, a 0% packet loss carrier network, and distributed data centers. Currently, the solution has been widely deployed by more than 1,000 media and entertainment companies of reputable media groups in 15 countries including China, France, and Italy. The media and entertainment companies include SZMG, Phoenix TV, China Central Television (CCTV), British Entertainment Company IMG, Digital Domain, Tata Sky, Jordan Radio and Television Corporation (JRTV), Rain Post, Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, and Pinewood. Looking ahead, Huawei remains committed to enabling the transformation of the broadcast media industry through joint innovation with industry partnerships.

CreateLED's AirMAG-2 LED Screens Make an Impact in the Worldwide Audiovisual Market
AirMAG-2 expands its global footprint with endorsements from major international customers
HONG KONG, June 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CreateLED Electronics, a leading provider of LED video solutions, today announced that a host of new customer endorsements for its recently introduced AirMAG-2 high performance display screens is helping to drive the growth of the company's business internationally.
Since its introduction to the market in 2014, the AirMAG-2 renowned for its advanced 16-bit colour processing, high definition 2.6mm pixel pitch and extra wide viewing angles of up to 160 degrees, has quickly become the display system of choice for a broad range of fixed and rental applications from corporate theatres and auditoriums to retail displays, car shows, television production sets, concerts and festivals.
According to Mr. David Oh, Managing Director of CreateLED Japan Company Limited, the rationale behind why the world's leading brands, media networks and event organisers are opting for the AirMAG-2 is attributed to the fact that the screen's state-of-the-art display technology and advanced mechanical design not only offers a significantly improved viewing experience for their audiences, but is ultra lightweight and versatile making it quick and easy to install.
"Every client has unique challenges, yet all recognise the cost, time, picture clarity and resolution advantages of the AirMAG-2," expresses Mr. Oh whilst noting that the product's high standards in image brightness, definition and sharpness along with its light output of up to 1,000 nits and 4000:1 contrast ratio, makes it suitable for ambiance creation particularly for indoor venues where audiences might be in close proximity to the screen.
Also available in a second AirMAG-2X configuration which although 18% smaller than its counterpart offers the same functionality plus a 40% increase in pixel density, today's announcement consolidates CreateLED's position in the worldwide LED display market with the AirMAG-2 product series reporting the following high profile customer wins:
Hermes (China): Located in a heritage building of strong historical and architectural importance, a 12 square metre AirMAG-2 LED display has become an integral part of the Hermes Maison flagship store in Shanghai. Prominently positioned on the first floor, the indoor LED with full video capabilities projects eye-catching visual and auditory cues that attract customers with footage of runway shows and short promotional films. An AirMAG-2 also served as the digital backdrop during the store's opening ceremony where it showcased the craftsmanship, tradition and innovation of the luxury French brand.
Samsung Electronics (Korea): Customer engagement at Samsung's Seoul headquarters has improved markedly following the installation of an interactive 8 metre high by 3.5 metre wide AirMAG-2X video wall in the company's corporate theatre. Working in partnership with a local systems integrator, the AirMAG-2X was selected for both its stunning picture quality, as well as meeting the client's need for maximum space utilisation, lower heat dissipation and easy maintenance. Robust and efficient, the cutting-edge screen provides the perfect presentation space for the company's executives to share corporate information and promotional materials.
Four Seasons Hotel New York (USA): CreateLED has provided the Four Seasons Hotel in New York with three AirMAG-2 LED screens for the hotel's prestigious Ty Warner Penthouse Suite. The height of luxury, the wall-mounted screens stream the famous works and paintings of some of the world's most celebrated artists. Displaying an endless art collection through a digital screen, the hotel's guests can now enjoy an inspiring, visual experience that is truly unique.
In addition, Mr. Oh states that CreateLED's AirMAG-2 series is delivering promising results in Japan having confirmed orders amounting to over 250 square metres from the market's leading audiovisual systems integrators. Comments Mr. Oh, "These LED panels are primarily for high end rental applications servicing car shows, sports, entertainment, exhibitions, conventions and trade events."
Mr. Takenaka Hideaki, Chief Executive Officer of Takenaka Company Limited, one of Japan's leading event systems businesses and a valued CreateLED customer, states that the AirMAG-2 product range is ideally suited for rental and staging purposes as its lightweight, small pitch configuration means it can 'float' from position to position and be suspended from any height.
"These products are easily maneuverable and precise which allows you to lift, swing or turn your display in any direction," says Mr. Takenaka. "This explains why customers are selecting the AirMAG-2 and AirMAG-2X over competitive products. These displays offer outstanding colour fidelity and are the most versatile screens in the industry. In turn, our clients are increasingly recognising the advantages of investing in CreateLED's solutions and the outstanding value they bring to their meetings and events."
As a result, CreateLED's Mr. Oh remarks that the AirMAG-2 is beginning to establish itself as one of the most popular brands in the market. "The AirMAG-2 is a dynamic product that is ideally suited to a wide range of visual needs," he concludes.
"We designed this product range for customers wanting a high impact, economical solution whether it is for permanent installations or mobile events where the requirement is for a lightweight, high performance LED video screen that is durable and easy to operate."
