Broadcasters Show Daily Monday, April 24, 2017 3 6 satellite distribution may be the pinnacle of reliable real-time content delivery, the large antennas, high cost of bandwidth and expensive proprietary head-end gear can make this model cost-prohibitive to smaller broadcast networks. Private point to point networks can be cost-effective for a very limited number of affiliates, but quickly become more expensive than satellite distribution when the network grows. Previously available public inter- net distribution systems have been plagued by congestion issues, including audio glitches, long programming inter- ruptions and unsynchronized playout across multiple affiliates. These "solu- tions" also suffer from the use of cobbled together consumer-grade hardware, mak- ing for poor audio and a severe lack of professional features. OMNiStreamer answers yes to dual- network paths, regionalized spot inser- tions, automation control relays, PAD Data pass-through, high quality AAC audio, scheduled program playback and local content playout, all at a very attrac- tive price-point. Designed to be true broadcast quali- ty from the ground up, it has balanced analog, pro-level outputs, optional AES audio, 8 N.O. relays, serial and UDP delivery of program data, and a host of other features that will make you wonder how so much capability could also be so affordable. The platform's dual internet path support, innovative error-correction and path length accommodation algo- rithms dramatically reduce the effects of public internet congestion – minimizing audio glitches and dropouts while pro- viding distribution to a large number of affiliates that remains synchronized net- work-wide, even across the challenges and uncertainty of the public internet.

Whitney in California and training for a much more rigorous climb of Mt. Blanc in France. I had always dreamed of sum- miting Mt. Blanc and had received a grant for the climb through the American Alpine Club. During the Mt. Whitney climb, I felt horrible, but chalked it up to the altitude sickness since I started feel- ing a little better on the way down. When I got home, I still wasn't feeling well. I was extremely thirsty and visiting the bathroom a lot more than usual. Soon after the climb, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 24. CGM First I walked into my endocrinologist's office and said 'what do I need to do to get this under control so I can continue to climb?' My endo and diabetes educator became my team. They said they'll help me get there, but first I needed the Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System. Although my diagnosis was overwhelming, I decided to focus on my goals to keep climbing. My family and supporters helped me remain focused and contin- ue on with my dreams. Climbing Partners Once I got started on the Dexcom CGM System, I fell into a rhythm right away. By seeing the glucose readings every five minutes, I quickly understood how my body was working and how food and exercise affected my glucose levels. It was because of climbing that I also became aware of the role altitude played on my glucose levels. The Dexcom CGM Systems quickly became a vital part of my climbing tool kit. Climbing Up and Moving Forward Getting to a place where I could accom- plish my goal of climbing Mt. Blanc meant so much to me. I proved to myself that although I have diabetes, I can still accomplish my dreams and live life to the fullest. Without the Dexcom CGM System, I wouldn't have felt comfortable going on these climbs. It has been an invalu- able tool since the beginning. Since being diagnosed, I have decided that I wanted to con- tribute and be part of diabetes care and research. To help achieve this goal, I have decided to go to nursing school and become a nurse prac- titioner. Some days, diabetes feels like a mountain – some days it's like a bunny hill. What I've learned is that it's impor- tant to change the challenge into an opportunity. Diabetes is hard. But now I have the opportunity to encourage other people to do more research and really dig deeper. By having a tool like the Dexcom CGM System, it allows me to empower myself to take control of my diabetes. For more information, visit www .dexcom.com. SCOSCHE UNVEILS LINE OF ADVANCED WIRELESS CHARGING PRODUCTS There are several definitions of and spellings for the word Qi. But unmistak- ably, it centers on the basic concept of energy and its flow. What better way to manifest this in relation to consumer technology than by introducing a line of advanced Qi Wireless Charging products for mobile devices. Scosche is launching two distinct sets of wireless charging products for the home/office and vehicle. The first one is founded on its multi-award-winning MagicMount™ Magnetic Mount for mobile devices. The MagicMount Charge series of wireless charging mag- netic mount products will initially include a Window/Dash Mount Charger and a Home/Office Mount Charger. MagicMount Charge products will allow for quick, safe and easy, cradle-free mounting and one-handed access to your mobile devices in a variety of environ- ments. These low-profile design units fea- ture the latest, most advanced Qi Wireless Charging technology and will deliver the outstanding charging power rate of 15W, which is three times the charging power of most wireless charging products available today. Its MagicMount Charge products will ensure maximum com- patibility with both cur- rent and future Qi devices. Now that's get- ting your Qi on for sure. Both units incorporate an open design that permits full user access to all the ports and controls on the mobile devices you place on the mounts. Further 360-degree viewing flexibility is achieved via the four-axis adjustable angle of each unit, and the locknut ensures secure positioning. Both units come with a large and small metal mounting plate with 3M adhesive. These plates accommodate the varying sizes of mobile devices from smartphones to tablets. You can place the plate onto the back of your mobile device, which permits it to then be mounted to the mag- netic MagicMount Charge. Or, you can attach it to the out- side of your device's case. Or, you can place it in between the device and case without adhering it to either. The magnets used in MagicMount Charge models are 100 percent mobile device safe and they work great with or without device cases. MagicMount Charge will work with most mobile device cases. The second series of its new Wireless Charging products are cradle- style, vehicle mobile device mounting solutions and come with a car charger and micro USB cable. These models are not magnetic mounts. For more information, go to www.scosche.com.
