be switched on or off remotely. Up
to 96 cameras can be operated
through a single data transmitter
attached to a standard Camera

or Joystick panel. The entire system
is waterproofed for all-weather use,
on land or at sea. Antennas may

Dalet’s Sports Factory combines
the capabilities of the company’s
content management platform with
tools designed for sports production.
Metadata entered during logging
and highlight creation are stored
with the content. The search engine
returns clips for quick repurposing
of content for broadcast, online
or mobile use. The system also
automates transcoding, file
movement and delivery to multiple
platforms. Sports Factory can be
integrated with industry-standard
editors such as Apple Final Cut
Pro as well as third party sports,
broadcast and software systems.
Evertz’ Live Production system
scales from a single source to
thousands of video/audio signals.
It is controlled using MAGNUM, a
next-generation control system that
uniﬁes the control of all the elements
found in production facilities. These
include routers, multiviewers,
signal processors and links. Evertz’
VistaLINK, network management
software, VUE, is a consolidated
control client with local monitoring
and advanced control capabilities.

operators, MultiReview enables
users to browse multiple camera
angles simultaneously to ensure
that live replay and editing decisions
can be made instantly. It provides
a centralised access point for
monitoring all cameras of the live
production in one GUI. Taking lowresolution feeds created by XT3
servers, users can coordinate replay
sequences, manage highlights

autonomously and load content on
a server’s playout channel.

Snell has added 4K functionality
Vision Research has upgraded
at no additional charge to several of
its Phantom Miro line of cameras to
its products, including routers, ﬁbre

become a more portable high-speed
camera. This upgrade is designed
to make high-speed imaging more
accessible through ease of use
and a smaller form factor. LCSeries cameras have a ﬂip-out LCD
touchscreen for on-camera control
and monitoring.
Camera settings can be changed
via the touchscreen which doubles
as a monitor for live preview and
cine playback from internal memory.
The LCD user interface is also
available in multiple languages.
The LC110 has a 1.6 gigapixels per
second throughput making possible
image capture up to 1,600 framesper-second at full resolution. The
LC310 has a 3.2 gigapixels per
second throughput and can capture
up to 3,200 frames per second at
full resolution.
If higher speeds are needed,
reduced resolution images are
available up to 400,000 frames per
second for the LC110 and 650,000
for the LC310. Both models feature
high light sensitivity and great
dynamic range for handling low-light
images which are often a problem
for high-speed cameras. The
2-megapixel LC120 also includes
a Vision Research custom-designed
CMOS sensor with a 1.6 gigapixels
per second throughput, allowing 800
frames per second capture at 1920
x 1080. If a higher speed is needed,
the LC120 can deliver reduced
resolution images up to 200,000
frames per second. The LC120
uses micro-lenses on its sensor to
achieve high light sensitivity. The
LC320S has 3.2 gigapixels per
second throughput equivalent to
1380 frames per second at 1920 x
1200 resolution. This camera has a
12-bit pixel depth and includes a
single HD-SDI port for monitoring.
