Smart Audio is the Way Forward
for Live Broadcast Production
The importance of audio should not be underestimated...
By Anthony Wilkins, International Sales
Manager and Head of Marketing

T

oday's broadcast facilities are
facing ever-increasing demands
on their resources as they strive to keep
up with consumers who expect more
content, on more devices, both where
and when they want it. Amongst all the
various elements broadcasters have to
handle, including video, graphics, data,
captions, and subtitles, the importance
of audio should not be underestimated.
To attract and retain viewers,
consistent, stable, and coherent audio
is a vital requirement. One aspect
that is particularly important to pay
attention to is speech intelligibility.
In today's file-based environment, for
content being recorded to be stored
and subsequently broadcast at a later
date, the task of creating good audio,
especially dialogue, involves many
techniques. Appropriate microphone

choice and placement, post-production
modifications, and a myriad of
software tools that can analyse and
enhance faster than real time. In a
live broadcast situation however,
things are very different. Think about
a breaking news story that needs
to be on air as quickly as possible.
There is simply no time to use all the
techniques used for say, a drama
production. A feed from an outside
broadcast needs to be combined with
a local studio presenter, and perhaps a
correspondent reporter speaking from
a remote studio.
Audio levels cannot be assumed to
be consistent with each other, and
may not be compliant with relevant
loudness standards. To ensure that
viewers receive a consistent, and
above all, clear audio experience, it is

necessary to find a way of dealing with
potential issues in a more efficient
way, and one that requires minimal
intervention and manual control or
operation.
The answer is to utilise real-time
processing algorithms that are both
intelligent and adaptive. Devices need
to be fully interoperable with others
in the broadcast environment, and
need to seamlessly integrate with
both playout automation systems, and
logging and monitoring processes.

'The Brightest Light You
Can Plug Into A Wall'

H

ive Lighting, manufacturers of
plasma lighting fixtures for TV
and film production, have taken plasma
to unprecedented output levels with
their new 1000 watt plasma bulb.
This new bulb technology, the size
of a ping pong ball, does not use any

filaments or electrodes, so there is
nothing to fail or degrade over time. It
is remotely excited using energy waves
that heat up inert gases and turn them
into plasma, the fourth state of matter.
Because of this unique technology,
the 1000 watt plasma bulb is 5 times
brighter than Hive's current 250 watt
plasma bulb.
It produces the equivalent output of
a 2,500W HMI or 10,000W tungsten
incandescent, but costs almost 40%
less to purchase and over 50%
less to operate than
an HMI. The 1000 watt
fixtures use only 9.5amps
on 120V power, making
sets more energy efficient
and brighter.
Hive's new bulb is not only
the highest output light you can
Filmmakers have already
requested the new Wasp Par 1000
and Bee Flood 1000

plug into a wall, it is the
highest quality artificial
daylight ever produced.
With a full spectrum 98
CRI, there is no other
daylight fixture on the
market that can achieve this
quality. Like all of Hive's plasma
products, it is 100% flicker free at any
frame rate, is a single point source arc
lamp, has an extremely long bulb life
(50,000 hours) and can offer colour
temperature adjustment between
4,600 K and 6,500 K.
The 1000 watt plasma bulb
successfully debuted at the NAB
Show, where it generated lots of buzz
on the trade show floor, resulting in
numerous interviews and the winning
of the 2016 Award of Excellence
from ProductionHUB. Hundreds of
filmmakers have already requested
the new Wasp Par 1000 and Bee Flood
1000 for their upcoming productions,

sources
to
pre-condition
the
audio before final loudness based
management, combined with auto upmix to maintain a constant surround
experience; the use of adaptive EQ
to ensure consistency of spectral
balance and that all important speech
intelligibility; the ability to interface
with Audio Over IP networks just by
plugging in a single cable - now, bring
all this together into a solution that
requires just a minimal number of
initial parameters to be set, and then
it just "works". That is Smart Audio.

Hive Lighting's
new 1000 watt
plasma bulb

so expect to see them on a set near
you soon.
With
all
these
productions
clamouring to use the new 1000 Watt
Bee Plasma Flood or 1000 Watt Wasp
Plasma Par, the future of film and TV
productions is not only cleaner and
greener, but also brighter and better
looking. Hive Lighting's new 1000 watt
plasma bulb represents a quantum
leap forward in plasma lighting
technology.
