Field To Newsroom Grass Valley & Dejero

R

ecognising the increasing demand
for timely on-site reporting and
the shift in the way news is gathered,
Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, and
Dejero are collaborating to integrate
Dejero's LIVE+ Control monitoring
and management tool with the GV
STRATUS video production and content
management system.
With the embedded Dejero tool,
users will be able to access, manage
and assign content from Dejero's

Dejero LIVE+
Control

video-over-IP transmitters within a
single window of the GV STRATUS
system.
The integrated package gives users
a centralised system with a simplified
workflow for handling live and
recorded content ingest. The result
is greater efficiency and time savings
for breaking news coverage in a highly
competitive and time-sensitive news
environment. With the new Dejero
integration, users now can record
and stream content, record
timelines, move and edit
files, and control channel
output recordings, all from
within GV STRATUS.
"The
broadcast
news
business
is
highly
competitive, and the pressure
to get relevant content to air
faster is intense," says Mike
Cronk, Senior Vice President
of Strategic Marketing, Grass
Valley. "By integrating with Dejero,

we are breaking down
the
barriers
that
have existed between
news field operations and the central
newsroom.
"This collaboration is only possible
because of the open platform on which
both GV STRATUS and LIVE+ Control
are based. Interoperability is the key."
Designed for simplicity, efficiency
and speed, GV STRATUS is a full set
of production tools in one application
that helps users better manage
entertainment, on-air operations and
news production media workflows.
With task-driven tools that operate
in a variety of environments, GV
STRATUS can be specifically tailored
for each user's job function, increasing
efficiency and enabling more effective
collaboration throughout the entire
production lifecycle.
"It's important to remove manual
steps and automate news production
as much as possible, which is exactly

Grass Valley STRATUS

what the combination of GV STRATUS
and our LIVE+ Control solution is
enabling," said Brian Cram, CEO,
Dejero. "The integrated solution makes
the complex process of getting highquality content to air much easier."
The new Dejero integration creates
a seamless path from the field to
the newsroom for broadcast-quality
video transmitted from virtually any
location.
Dejero simplifies the remote
acquisition,
cloud
management
and multiscreen distribution of
professional live video over IP.
Providing adaptive bitrate encoding
and IP network bonding, the
technology allows users to send
content using any combination of
cellular, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and portable
satellite connections.

Eyeheight Colour Correctors
And Legalisers In Action
E

yeheight colour correctors and
legalisers returned to the tropical
jungle of New South Wales for the latest
UK series of the television show I'm
a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here. This
year's contestants included Hollyoaks'
Jorgie Porter, Spandau Ballet's Tony
Hadley, Union J star George Shelley,
and boxer Chris Eubank. The UK series,
transmitted across the UK ITV network,
was won this year by Vicky Pattison.
Eyeheight legalisers will also be
used during January 2016 for the
German follow-on series, Ich bin ein
Star - Holt Mich Hier Raus! which will
be transmitted by RTL. The production
then moves to the Kruger National
Park for the South African series.
Designed for use in live television
content creation and post-production,
Eyeheight's LE-2M legaliser ensures
that incoming signal video is held
within the required broadcast colourspace parameters, such as EBU-R103.
Incoming SDI or HD-SDI video is
auto-detected and the appropriate

legalising format then applied.
The LE-2M incorporates six user
memories plus common presets.
Additional
legalisation
features
include automatic luma overshoot and
undershoot suppression together with
luma and chroma gain, black level
adjustment, hue rotation, adjustable
clipping levels and soft-clipping-knee
levels. An 'out-of-gamut' indication
feed displays overshoot or undershoot
severity and shows the user where
on the picture any signal correction
is being performed. Automatic realtime
control
of
perceptual
loudness and true
peak level are
also provided.
Eyeheight's
CC-2M
colour
corrector allows
independent realtime adjustment
of red, green and
blue component

levels, master gain, lift, gamma and
hue. A preview output provides a
configurable split screen showing
processed and unprocessed picture.
The CC-2M has a dedicated control
panel which can be used to control
up to six plug-in modular colour
correction cards in a single-rackunit intelligent chassis with easy
channel switching. Up to eight panels
can be networked. The system also
includes a maintenance mode to assist
installation.
Eyeheight produces broadcast-

standard technical compliance plugins for use with popular video editing
software such as Adobe Premiere Pro.
Eyeheight
also
designs
and
manufactures rack-mountable 3G, 3D
and HD-SDI processors for video and
audio content origination, qualityassurance, post-production, playout and
associated areas.
This includes audio descriptors, audio
loudness conformers, colour correctors,
emergency switchers, mixers and
keyers, safe area generators, subtitling
decoders, text and graphics generators,
timecode equipment, video legalisers
and widescreen signal generators.
Eyeheight products are available
worldwide.
