Welcome to the latest editon of the Oracle where the countdown
is on for the 2014 NAB Show. In just on 2 weeks time the Las Vegas
Convention Centre will open its doors to 1550+ exhibitors and more
than 93,000 visitors for the latest showcase of broadcasting, audio
and video technology. We hope to see a strong Aussie presence this
year so please give a shout out if you're making the trip over.
For our Nautel clients attending NAB, we encourage you to
register for the annual Nautel Users Group (NUG) meeting being held
on Sunday 6th April (Registration information a little later in the
newsletter). There's no cost involved and it's a great opportunity
to interact directly with the Nautel design team. This year the NAB
Show will have some fantastic new product launches from Orban,
Davicom and Tieline and Nautel will be unveiling their new FM
transmission solutions hot on the heels of the upcoming March 26
"Next Generation Launch Webinar". Exciting times ahead! On the home
front I've just returned from a week long trip to Perth and
regional areas where I had the chance to visit quite a number of
stations and transmitter sites. Great to see so many Nautel, Orban,
Tieline and Innes Corp fans! Thanks to the engineers who made me
feel very welcome and graciously took time out from their busy
schedules to show me around. Much appreciated guys! Until next
time, safe travels to those attending NAB and happy broadcasting.

Postcards from Perth It was great to have the chance to visit a
host of WA clients recently and to see some new Nautel
installations. Greg Hateley from 96FM and Dan Jackson from Mix 94.5
couldn't be happier with their new NV10's!
Also located in Perth is the headquarters of Tieline Technology
and it was great to have the chance to check out their operations
first hand. World leaders in codec and audio distribution
solutions, Tieline will have all their latest and greatest on show
at NAB Booth C3331. Thanks for the tour Charlie!

NOVA 93.7 in Perth has a great signature sound thanks to the
talents of engineers Malcom Sully and Dan Ennis and a little help
from their trusty Orban Optimod-FM 8600. Thanks for the station
tour guys and good luck to Dan for his new Melbourne venture!
Coast FM 97.3 is located in the scenic coastal town of Mandurah,
WA - an hour from the heart of Perth. It is also home to the 100th
Flashlog 7 that rolled off the production line back in mid 2012.
Thank you John De Bellis and Nick Morgan for your warm
market.
ORBAN PC1552 The PC 1552 is the first Optimod audio processor to
run natively on Intel hardware. Using a fast Intel Xeon processor,
the 1552 can provide stereo audio processing for up to 16 streams
with MX limiting defeated and 8 streams with MX limiting activated.
Each stream uses one instance of Optimod code and one instance of
Opticodec-PC. Opticodec-PC is mature, stable software that
maximizes streaming efficiency via the HE-AACv2 codec and offers
full support for metadata, including dynamic Title and Artist.
ORBAN Optimod-FM 8600 with Digital MPX
The 8600 with DIGITAL MPX will be available immediately after
NAB at no extra cost. Orban's New Optimod-FM 8600 Digital MPX
provides a digital composite output using a 192 kHz AES3
connection. This output appears on a male XLR-type connector on the
breakout cable supplied with the Optimod. This output is fully
compatible with and interoperable with the de-facto industry
standard digital connection being implemented by transmitter
manufacturers and others.

welcome and station tour. .
Two hours south of Perth is picturesque Bunbury where Southern
Cross Austereo's Western Regional Chief Engineer Rod Ashworth can
be found when not covering the vast number of kilometres between
transmitter sites in his region. Hot FM Bunbury is the hub for
Rod's operations and it also has the coolest piece of art you'll
find in a reception area! Terrific to catch up with you Rod and
thanks for your hospitality! .

Last month when much of the world celebrated Chinese New Year,
Innes Corp hosted a special event of its own. The beginning of
February marked a milestone birthday for our company founder and
Managing Director, John Innes and a special dinner for close
friends, family and work colleagues was held overlooking beautiful
Sydney Harbour. A great evening enjoyed by all and congratulations
