Discussing Notch, Luke Malcolm says: “Firstly, we have created an authoring tool that speaks the language of creatives, not software developers. Secondly, this is all about working with the wider ecosystem of products used in production industry to get the best of all worlds. Realtime should feel like a familiar creative asset that loads seamlessly into your favourite Ai server being controlled by your favourite Avolites desk. This is where the integration with Notch is so critical.”

Group One will also be using LDI to launch a brand new Ai training initiative, as the distributor’s Ai specialist Ruben Laine explains: “We’ll be releasing a packed new training programme for the Americas, to meet the huge demand for training nationwide, with two, two-day training sessions each month in cities around the US.”

As well as being able to see first-hand the features in development and provide valuable user feedback, attendees on the training courses will also get to walk away with a fully licensed two-output dongle.

Avolites and Group One will also introduce a new licensing model, designed to help new users get a foot on the Ai ladder. Laine explains: “We’re upgrading the licensing system to help early and new adopters meet the demands of this ever-evolving industry. Anjuna licenses will now provide two full outputs of 2K, while a Bondi license ups the game to four 4K outputs.”
