University transmits live op in 3D

The University of Liege has claimed a European first by transmitting a live neurosurgical operation to an audience in 3D, according to E-Health Europe.

The operation was performed at the University Hospital of Liege and watched by members of the public in a cinema in Sauvenier, 10km away.

Spectators were able to speak to the neurosurgeon, Professor Didier Martin, throughout the event, which was organised for the ImageSante festival.

Cetacea Sound has released the Astronaut Speaker Series with patented omni-directional acoustic horns for improved word recognition by students in K-12, states eSchoolNews.

This speaker technology improves on typical in-ceiling and on-wall speakers through its ability to reproduce the important voice frequencies, especially those in the sibilant range above 5KHz.

Featured at the National School Board National Tour in Kansas City last year, the Astronaut has been installed in over 50 000 classrooms nationwide.

Netia has paired its Netia Workflow Engine with its Radio-Assist 8 suite of digital audio automation software, writes Broadcast Newsroom.

This is to bring users even greater efficiencies and functionality across key broadcast workflow processes.

"Netia Workflow Engine makes it easy for media companies to visualise, create, and execute their own workflows," says Mustapha Rezzoug, Netia's director of products.
