Newsletter - September 2026
Hi there,
Now the summer holidays are over, we're all back and looking forward to the rest of 2026 - there's a lot going on!
Over the coming weeks, we'll be crossing the defence and broadcast calendars in quick succession at DVD 2026 and IBC, before heading to Marlow in October for Altera's Aerospace & Defence Summit, where we're joining our partners at Annapolis Micro Systems to show how serious RF capability is being squeezed into kit an operator can carry on their back.
In our blog, I take a look at a technology most of us had written off; 3D display, and dive into how proven stereoscopic rendering is being repurposed on the front line, from defusing ordnance remotely to running surgical triage, letting teams work with pinpoint accuracy at a distance.
There's plenty more below, including the latest standout products that show just how much capability is being packed into ever-tighter form factors. SOSA-aligned FPGA processors, a Jetson Thor SBC bringing serious AI to the tactical edge and even a MIL-spec 1553 converter that lives entirely inside the cable harness - scroll down to learn more.
Got a project taking shape or a spec you're trying to lock down? Get in touch - we'll help you find the right fit.
Best regards,

Battle Tested 3D Display Technology for Defence
Stereoscopic Rendering in Deployed Environments
3D had its moment in living rooms and cinemas before fading out, but did it really fade away? We take a look at how 3D technology is proving indispensable where the stakes are highest.
Discover how our work with EIZO is repurposing proven stereoscopic technology for the front line, giving operators genuine spatial awareness in situations where a flat screen simply isn't enough.
Whether it's defusing ordnance by remote or running surgical triage at a forward base, learn how synchronised low-latency feeds let teams act with pinpoint accuracy from a safe distance - putting machines in the danger zone instead of people.
IBC 2026
11-14 September 2026
Will you be making the trip to Amsterdam for IBC this September?
Broadcast and AV is a big focus for us, and this September we'll be sending Gareth Imms to this year's IBC to connect with exhibitors and explore where our technology and partner solutions fit. Alongside Gareth, Masterclock will be there on stand 8.C43.
If you're exhibiting or attending be sure to reach out ahead of the show - we would welcome the chance to arrange a conversation.
Altera Aerospace & Defence Summit UK
