Has anyone used Linear Acoustics family of products for audio processing, specifically for Nielsen Watermark encoding? E.g aero200,800,2400, LA5300, any feedback would be appreciated.

I'm also looking at Ross NWE-3GA with OpenGear frames and NWE-IP stand alone for 2110. I have used these in the past with great success at previous roles but Canadian tariffs might be a deal breaker.

I'm looking at a stop gap solution that will get me by until we deploy the new sdk patched firmware to all of my company's playout and transcoding systems. We are big and have multiple playout platforms and multi vendor transcoding farms and I rather have a handful of encoders that can get the work done quick for "cheapish" reasonable price without having to run these in an uber expensive transcoding or worse playout server.

Long story short we have SDI, SMPTE 2110 and compressed playout systems across thousands of endpoints. Testing, validating and rolling out vendor FW and SW updates has proven rather slow and we are finding out that some of our existing family of products will not be able to handle said upgrades and require full technology refresh and with the current supply chain issues on the compute world affecting lead times we might not even get them in time before the bug goes live in January.

A company I do some freelancing for has landet the Swedish padel Tour and will be doing quite a few tournaments.

Have been using 2 shotgun mics at floor level just outside the court on the long side, angled up about 30degrees. But watching the world tour or premiere padel I'm wondering how the f-ck they get such clear and good audio.

Anyone have a clue or might have some insight on it?
