Magix Samplitude Vintage Effects Suite $119 The Magix Samplitude Vintage Effects Suite enhances the repertoire of Samplitude music production software with a chorus/flanger, delay, filter and echo effect plug-in. Corvex, Ecox and Filtox effects plug-ins are each based on the same basic handling principle: a modulator (LFO) controls almost all knobs accessible via the "frontplate" as required.The Variverb offers many preset echo programs, which are available for further editing in the expert mode. The de-esser removes the "s" sounds. Corvex creates the typical "floating" soundscape, known from guitar sounds or synth surfaces. The virtual effects can add acoustic 'depth' to an instrument to add more power to the sound or to create the illusion that it exists multiple times.The chorus sound is created when the Magix Doppler effect is used. It causes signal delay of the effect section. For most equipment, this delay plug-in is within the range of 10-30 ms (as in this one), short enough to be perceived as an "echo".The Flange effect is similar to the chorus: A very short delay of the second signal, deletions in the frequency spectrum come about, and the so-called comb filter effect is created. The virtual flanging effect is basically a chorus effect, which has a low delay time (below 10 ms). The "separation" or doubling of signals is not in the foreground, but is a creative deformation of the frequency response.Ecox can reproduce typical band echo sounds particularly well, including the system-dependent tracking fluctuations and loss of highs during each feedback.Feedback as well as Corvex have a two-band filter, which can produce low, high or mid-tone repetitions, depending on the settings. A special property of Ecox is that it cannot digitally overmodulate delay. Even in case of an 'endless' repetition, the signal is not uncontrollably distorted, but increasingly compressed and stretched like a band.Filtox is, like Corvex and Ecox, a 'modulation effect,' only the frequency response from one modulation source is controlled.Possible areas to use these virtual effects would be for synthesizer sounds (filter sweeps on pads) or creative distortions of drum loops (e.g. for variations, fills, etc). In case of guitars, typical 'wah' effects may be created, whether using tempo modulation or modulation via an envelope.The 'core' of Filtox is a stereo multimode filter based on an analog model (Chamberlin -2-pole filter), which, for example, is known as an 'Oberheim' filter. In Filtox, two such module are cascaded per channel in order to achieve a 24-dB slew rate. |

Carl Martin Octa-switch Guitar Effects Switching System $377.3 The concept of the Carl Martin Octa-Switch Guitar Effects Switching System is simple: take your 8 favorite effects pedals, plug them into the 8 individual loops (all true-bypass gold relays) on the Octa-Switch, and then designate what effects you want connected to each of 8 banks via the world's simplest and smallest DIP switches (located over the top of each of the 8 bank switches). When Carl Martin decided to create a baby brother for his world famous Combinator, the details of simplifying an already simple effect controller made his head hurt. So Carl enlisted the help of Thomas Guldmann, and the Octa-Switch Switching System was born.Thomas chose DIP switches because they are just 8 individual on-off switches in a tiny package. So if your guitar effects are plugged into Loops 1-8, you simply turn the DIP switch on for each of the effects you want in Bank 1, and then Bank 2 etc up to Bank 8. You can use one or all of the effects in each bank, and once you have designated a bank, do us both a favor and cover the DIP with a bit of tape to ensure nothing happens to the DIP switch when you are not looking… like an errant hand, or a flood of beer.The Octa-Switch has a blue LED for every effects loop used and for each bank (so once you are programmed, when you step on Bank 6 you will see the lights of all the effects you have assigned to Bank 6 and the Bank 6 LED).The Carl Martin Octa switch is mono-in and mono/stereo out, with a choice of a buffered signal or not. The effects unit is powered by dual 9v batteries, or a regulated power supply like the Carl Martin Big John Power Supply, and is housed in an all metal case with heart-stopping (ok, well almost) graphics. So, the same basic options found in the digitally controlled units the famous guys are using, at a fraction of the cost. Please note, the DIP switches are slide type, NOT push down. They are easily operated with a small screwdriver, a pen, or a very small finger. On large stages when running long connected cables, there is a definite drop in the high end of your guitar sound (more or less depending on the input impedance of your amplifier). The solution according to Thomas was once again simple. He built in a buffer circuit at the input, so you can choose between 100% true bypass, or buffered bypass to beef up your signal. |

Electro-Harmonix Nano Bassballs Envelope Filter Bass Effects Pedal $82.5 The Electro Harmonix Nano Bassballs Twin Envelope Filter effects pedal has everything you loved about the original Bassballs in a pocket size. The human vocal-like sound of its two sweeping filters gives bass a strong presence under leads, or a commanding quality when out front. The resonant frequencies are engineered solidly into the full range of the bass guitar's strongest harmonics. Bassballs will respond to every bass note. The sweep is widely variable, and harmonic enrichment is available with the distortion switch.The Nano Bassballs comes in a small, die-cast case with rounded corners, saving valuable pedalboard space. The footswitch selects your original signal or the filtered signal as the Bassballs output. The range of the filters‚ upward sweep in pitch is set by the interaction of instrument volume and the sensitivity control. Both stronger attacks and higher (clockwise) control settings increase the sweep range. Low volume and low sensitivity settings will create little or no sweep, and Bassballs will only provide a small boost in its lowest frequencies. In its upward position, the fuzz switch introduces additional harmonic enrichment that accentuates the filters‚ action. The sensitivity pot also serves as a volume control for the fuzz, also increasing in the clockwise direction. |
The Network Camera: Security Video Utilizing A LAN
Unless you buy old equipment, you are unlikely to implement a completely analog video security system today. Digital technology has made pure analog video security technology virtually obsolete. The digital video recorder (DVR) replaces what would have been a VCR a few years ago. Almost all systems now include the ability to view the video from your cameras over a computer network, including the Internet.
The current debate concerns the Internet Protocol (IP) camera. It is important to note the difference between a “web camera” and an “IP camera”. A web camera generally connects to the USB port of a computer and utilizes the resources of the computer to function, but an IP camera is independent of a host computer, at least to a degree.
IP Cameras: Surveillance Technology of the Future
There is a certain amount of inevitability to the IP camera. The question is when, not if, the IP camera will come to dominate the security camera market. IP camera installation is easier because the network cabling is less expensive and much less bulky than the coaxial cable normally used for analog cameras. There is a certain presumption that anything digital will be better than its analog alternative, but in this case, the reality is more complicated. Like most new technologies, a certain amount of “oversell” by the IP camera companies marketing their products should be expected. It is important to recognize the issues associated with IP cameras.
IP Cameras: Issues with Current Implementation
IP camera technology does have its issues. The first problem is expense. IP cameras with comparable image quality are still significantly more expensive than an analog alternative. The second problem is the bandwidth to communicate the video is a challenge for conventional networks if more than one or two cameras are employed. When making comparisons between analog and IP cameras, similar image specifications should be used, otherwise the decision will based on the novelty of the technology, not the performance.
An IP camera can be found at about the same price as an analog camera, but not if the two cameras have comparable performance. For example, IP cameras generally have less impressive low-light sensitivity specifications (1-4 Lux typical) than analog cameras (0.001-0.8 Lux typical). Excellent quality IP cameras are available: for example the Cisco 2500 has a sensitivity of 0.4 Lux with more than 100 dB dynamic range, but the Cisco 2500 retails for more than $800. A comparable analog camera would sell for less than $300.
The other problem with IP cameras is the signal bandwidth needed to link the camera to the system network. It is feasible to install an IP camera on an existing network, but the impact multiple cameras will have on your system’s network performance should be considered, especially if many cameras are to be installed. If a dedicated star network topology (home runs) is to be installed solely for the use of the cameras, then this problem may be avoided.
A single IP video camera with a resolution of 640x480 pixels at 30 frames per second (M-JPEG) requires about 8 Mbit/second of bandwidth. For comparison, the Ethernet (10BASE-X) specification is 10 Mbit/s maximum.
There are two approaches to the use of IP cameras. The first approach converts the video signal from analog to digital at the camera. This camera will incorporate enough computational ability to function in a network environment, including an operating system stored on a small flash memory module. The second approach is a decentralized design. This camera includes the ability to truly operate independently. It can store video until needed, and it has true video analytic capability (artificial intelligence). With this artificial intelligence, if an alarm condition exists, the camera can make this determination, and contact the host.
IP Design Alternative 1: Digitized Video
This is the more common approach currently. With this design the digital camera captures the image, and constantly communicates the video as a digitized signal over a computer network to a video server (computer). The server owns the responsibility for processing and storing the video. Even though the camera must have some computation capability to communicate over a network, it has little if any on-board capability for logic functions and storage. Remember that video will require a significant microprocessor, RAM, and video storage for even limited manipulation.
IP Design Alternative 2: Decentralized Logic
If sophisticated decentralized processing (video analytics) could be cost-effectively deployed on IP cameras, the transition to IP cameras would be dramatically accelerated. A few companies such as D-Link, and Linksys have introduced digital cameras that have integrated web servers so that no external computers are needed for communication, but this is different from the ability to analyze at the point of capture and store the video locally.
On-board logic and video storage would eliminate the need for all video to be constantly communicated to the host, and would solve the bandwidth problem. Video that needed to be reviewed could be requested by the host only when needed.
There are cameras available with these features, but they can be very expensive. Sometimes these functions are added in a separate module local to the camera called an “Intelligent Video Server”. An example of a design with logic and storage are some of the cameras offered by the Swedish company Axis Communications (Note: not all cameras from Axis are suitable for a decentralized logic system).
Conclusion
When large systems of IP cameras are employed, if a dedicated star topology network is not employed, compromises will need to be made to reduce costs and bandwidth requirements. The resolution and frame-rate are the most common compromises.
A survey of technology professionals estimates that the IP camera will become dominant when there is less than $100 difference from the analog camera. As the price of technology continues to drop, the IP camera will be more competitive, but it could take many years.
