Vitec Group to Showcase
Award-Winning Solutions
With the IP revolution, media companies are rethinking their approach to virtually every
aspect of production, says Dave Dougall, VP of sales, EMEA and Asia, Vitec Group...
rompting systems are one example - but
until now, prompting has relied on USB,
video, and serial cables to connect the controller
to the prompting engine and deliver prompting
output to the monitor. An IP-based operation,
however, requires prompting that can take
maximum advantage of IP's connectivity,
flexibility, ease of use, and cost efficiencies.

P

requiring less cabling because the power
supply is built-in. The production-friendly soft
panel can also deliver full-intensity, mobilepowered operation under battery only; an ideal
complement is the Anton/Bauer CINE VCLX
battery. Users can operate every function of
Gemini with its intuitive on-board controls and
user interface with multiple control options.

Prompting

Support

At Vitec Group, we understand that fully
IP-enabled prompting should fit seamlessly
into networked and geographically dispersed
IP production facilities, creating endless
opportunities for broadcast operations to
collaborate across geographies and allocate
resources cost-effectively. Vitec Group brand
Autoscript has made this vision a reality with
Intelligent Prompting, the industry's first
teleprompting system designed around an IPenabled workflow that can also accommodate
video workflows.
At BroadcastAsia 2018, we'll be showcasing
new products in the IPS range for Intelligent
Prompting - including EVO-IPS, the world's
first all-IP prompting monitor, and WinPlus-IPS
software, a simple-but-powerful prompting
application for smaller productions. The
combination of WinPlus-IPS and EVO-IPS
packages the power of Intelligent Prompting in
a cost-effective, easy-to-install, and easy-touse solution that's perfect for smaller IP-based
studios as well as corporate, educational, and
government productions.
As the world's first IP-only prompt monitor,
the EVO-IPS offers a simple and flexible
workflow, connecting directly to the user's

Also at BroadcastAsia 2018, Vitec Group
brands Sachtler and Vinten will demonstrate
flowtech, a truly game-changing tripod for
accelerating camera operators' workflows on
any type of broadcast, film, or video project.
Fresh from winning an impressive array of
awards at the 2018 NAB Show, including a
prestigious IABM BaM Award, flowtech is
an all-new carbon fibre technology with the
world's fastest-deploying legs, unique quick-

over an IP network and displaying smooth
scroll prompter video without the need for
an additional scroll engine. Connecting over
an IP network to a single controller,
WinPlus-IPS employs many
of the features of WinPlus-IP,
Autoscript's premier prompting
software - including a modern,
customisable user interface,
super-smooth scroll preview, and
live script editing. Users can connect
any number of EVO-IPS monitors and
XBox-IP scroll engines.

Lighting
But prompting isn't our only focus at
BroadcastAsia 2018. The Vitec Group will also
present the new Gemini from Litepanels, the
most accurate and agile 2x1 LED soft light in
the industry. Gemini eliminates the need for
colour correction by offering full-spectrum
white light that's perfect for
lighting talent and rendering
exceptional colour. Lighting
professionals can "go bold" by
lighting with any colour in the
360-degree colour wheel and
popular gels within Gemini's
colour modes. Plus, Gemini's
latest firmware upgrade allows
for a variety of cinematic
effects such as emergency lights,
fire, TV, and hue bursts that are fully
customisable and that can be easily saved to
presets.
Gemini's versatile, ballast-free, lightweight
design allows the light to be rigged more easily,

release brakes, and easily adjustable levers
for quick and easy setup in any type of remote
production environment. At BroadcastAsia
2018, Sachtler and Vinten will showcase
flowtech technology with the flowtech 75
tripod, compatible with all major 75-millimetre
fluid heads.
flowtech offers a set of two-stage legs with an
easy-to-remove midlevel spreader, rubber feet,
and a payload capacity of 20kg (44lbs). The
quick-release brakes enable legs to be deployed
simultaneously and adjust automatically to
the ground's surface, saving operators from
bending over and manually adjusting multiple
brakes on each leg.
A unique hinge-lock mechanism allows
users to capture extremely low, ground-level
shots, removing the need for extra "baby legs."
Lightweight and easy to transport, flowtech
75 can be carried comfortably on the camera
operator's shoulder, with magnetic locks
keeping the legs stable during transport. Plus,
flowtech now features two optional accessories
- a detachable carry handle and a compact and
lightweight dolly.
Another headlining Vinten solution on display
at BroadcastAsia 2018 will be the Vinten
Vantage, an award-winning pan/tilt robotic
camera head that enables broadcast-quality
video and superior motion control at the same
price point as a traditional pan-tilt-zoom head. In
a compact and lightweight form factor, Vantage
enables customers to choose the camera and
lens that meet their requirements, ensuring
that they can match manual camera positions,
work over long distances, and manage low-light
conditions. Vinten will also showcase an allnew external lens drive option that significantly
increases the number of lenses that can be
used on Vantage-mounted cameras and
delivers full servo functionality, including virtual
reality tracking, to manual lenses.
