Inter BEE is the broadcast exhibition that takes place every year in Japan, signaling an important moment for the Japanese industry in this segment. Over the years, Inter BEE evolved to encompass all media and content production technologies, in tandem with similar trade shows in the US (NAB Show) and Europe (IBC). The show is now one of the most important showcases for professional audio technologies, particularly in the microphone and recording segment, which is still a very strong market for leading companies from Japan.
The Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA), the promoter of Inter BEE, promotes the Inter BEE Awards that aim "to contribute to the revitalization and future development of the media and entertainment industry, as well as the advancement of technology and the diversity of creative activities in this field."
The award competition not only recognizes innovative technological advancements, but takes into account the diversity of creative activities in the media and entertainment industry. Entries go through an intense judging process and are evaluated by a chair of industry experts, who found the TASCAM Sonicview with the IF-ST2110 Expansion card to stand out from the impressive competition.
The TASCAM Sonicview Digital Recording and Mixing Consoles range was praised for its superior user experience and unparalleled audio quality, valuable for productions such as live broadcasts, concerts, studio work and OB truck operations, all while being compact and portable. The IF-ST2110 expansion card enables full compatibility for SMPTE ST 2110 AV Networks with the Sonicview console at a notably lower price than conventional mixing and recording consoles.
The Overall Evaluation by the Judging Committee Chairman commented that in the era of IP-driven development, the most important outcome of technological progress is the creation of high-quality content. The TASCAM Sonicview Recording and Mixing consoles are compact and portable, offering a superior user experience, minimal I/O latency, and unparalleled audio quality. These features are crucial for various productions including live broadcasts, concerts, and studio work, as well as outside broadcast (OB) remote operations.
The IF-ST2110 expansion card, set to ship in December 2024, enables full compatibility and control for SMPTE ST 2110 AV Networks with the Sonicview console and revolutionary TASCAM Web UI app, all at a substantially lower price compared to conventional mixing and recording consoles.
