Supermicro announces what it claims is the first line of commercial off the shelf (COTS) systems designed exclusively for large-scale deployment in hyperscale datacentres-- the MegaDC server series.

MegaDC servers are purpose-built and flexible COTS designed for hyperscale infrastructure deployments. According to the company, the servers offer increased cost effectiveness and reliability through a reduced component count and optimised power distribution and backplane designs. The servers support open standards, including OpenBMC, for custom control over functionality and versioning, advanced I/O modules (AIOM) with support for OCP V3.0 SFF cards and common redundant power supplies (CRPS).

Vaddio builds on the RoboSHOT 30E NDI camera with the RoboSHOT 12E, a PTZ camera featuring NewTek NDI, the low latency technology allowing video systems to detect and communicate with each other over IP.

The RoboSHOT 12E NDI camera is a recognisable video source by other NDI-enabled applications and devices connected to a standard local area network. In addition, users can access camera controls such as pan/tilt/zoom through NDI, creating a complete IP workflow for operator control. NDI technology allows the sharing of audio and video sources across a network, eliminating the need for direct connections and infrastructure upgrades. It also turns every source into a destination available anywhere on the network.

The global PC monitor market is up by 5% Y-o-Y in Q4 2019, IDC reports, as shipments exceed analyst expectations by reaching "just over" 33.2 million units, a number last exceeded back in Q4 2014.

Monitors also did well in full-year 2019, as shipments are up by 1.5%. Boosting such monitor momentum is the business segment, with device refresh projects further consolidating the market. In fact, the top 3 vendors-- Dell, HP and TPV-- hold nearly 50% of the 2019 market. Other factors further helped the market, including the increase in monitor sizes (23.8-inch screens overtook the 21.5-inch) and strong gaming monitor adoption.
