Looking Ahead To IBC2016
Contributing Editor Adrian Pennington takes a snapshot of what's in store from the
1,600 exhibitors lining the IBC show floor in September...
Asset Management
TMD has a range of asset
management modules which can be
used on their own or combined as part
of the firm's Mediaflex Unified Media
Services (UMS) platform.
OnPoint, for example, supports the
browse and selection of clips, restoring
for edit and integration with craft
editors. "OnPoint's low start-up costs
makes it a particularly cost-effective
way for owners to harness control
over content import, their creative
processes, and delivery," comments
TMD CEO Tony Taylor. "The power of
the software, and the level of detail
and automated control provided,
deliver a remarkable return on
investment."
Other solutions include Aperture, a
new ingest tool and Guardian, which
provides acquisitioning, preservation,
storage, and management of physical
and digital media.

EditShare has devised a fresh
editorial application, EditShare Flow
Story. Aimed at fast turnaround
production the tool provides remote
access to on-premise stored media
through an internet connection. It also
packages finishing tools such as Audio
Network for users to add MP3 audio
files to their sequence.
IPV will demonstrate the ability
to work with its Curator MAM in the
cloud. The addition of live markers
directly to an editing timeline is
another enhancement intended to
speed up the creative process. A
revised portal will aid rapid search.
The firm has a new pricing structure
"designed to address the growing
market in corporate video production,

which has very different demands
and workflows," explains Nigel
Booth, EVP Business Development.
"The bundles are focused around
the key processes required in
managing video and high value
assets, ingest, edit, publish and
search."
Spain's Tedial is shouting about
its 'multi-award-winning' Version
Factory, a self-described 'world's
first true media factory workflow'.
It is best described as single workflow
that supports millions of file input-tooutput operations and can be managed
from a single operator screen. The
firm's Evolution BPM, is a suite of
scalable media IT software modules
that automate the preparation,
movement and distribution of media in
an organisation and outside of it.
Facilis
has
the
FastTracker
application for cataloguing, searching
and viewing media within Facilis
Shared Storage. This system includes
custom metadata tagging, catalogue
user permissions, Boolean search
capability and incremental indexing
functionality. Facilis will also present
shared VR/360 video workflows using
Adobe Premiere Pro.
Acquisition
Hitachi is bringing its Live
Production OB-Box equipped with
the company's new 4MOS sensor
4K production camera; 3MOS 1080p
sensor SK-HD1300 series cameras; and
3CCD sensor SK-HD1200 production
camera fitted with a new 7.4 inch OLED
viewfinder. Introduced at IBC last year,
the OB-Box is a modular OB facility
which is delivered to the customer
and then mounted onto a vehicle's
chassis using a proprietary fixing kit.
According to Hitachi, this approach
"significantly reduces" manufacture
and delivery time since it removes the
need to source and ship a bespoke
vehicle for each customer.
Teasing with the promise of a 'major
product announcement', Israel's LiveU
has European debuts for a number
of products at the RAI. These include

LiveU Matrix

Solo, its "plug-and-play" live streaming
bonded solution for the online media
market. It connects automatically
to popular online video players and
platforms like Facebook, YouTube
Live and Wowza Streaming Cloud.
The firm's new 4K HEVC encoder
gets a run out and Version 6 of its
software will be released. This includes
a new interface design for LiveU's
cloud-based management and video
distribution system LiveU Central, an
improved LiveU Matrix management
workflow, and integration with MPEGTS output from the LU2000 server.
This latter piece enables broadcasters
to connect their IP stream to MCR and
other third-party kit.
Domo has developed a module for its
SOLO7 OBTX camera back transmitter
which "will substantially reduce the
costs of live newsgathering by greatly
reducing the amount of technology
needed to be carried into the field,"
claims Sales Director JP Delport. It will
demonstrate the concept, and solicit
comment for finalising development,
during IBC.

C-Cast Syndication is new from
EVS. This distributes near-live
multi-angles and highlight VOD
to affiliates like regional and
unilateral broadcasters or sports
teams as a means of allowing
media rights holders to expand
audiences and revenue. C-Next
is the firm's new contribution
network platform. This gives
remote teams the ability to share
files and metadata content over
IP. EVS will also demonstrate the
latest version of IPWeb - a remote
access application that lets users
browse and select content - and its
software-based production switcher
DYVI.

Broadcast
Wireless
Systems
tempts with plans for a new H.265/4K
codec. "Wireless camera operators
face a double-squeeze. The demand
for 2K and 4K content is increasing
while available RF spectrum is
simultaneously
being
reduced,"
explains Commercial Director Stuart
Brown. "We provide a cost-effective
method for users to upgrade to 2K
and 4K operation without replacing
their existing systems." The company
will share space on the Sematron
stand, where it will solicit input from
prospective end users about the final
design.

Shotoku is showcasing its TP200VR/300 pedestal and SX-300 VR
head, a combination with the stability,
it says, for VR tracking demands.
Features include the lightweight twostage pneumatic pedestal, fast and
simple referencing using an origin
sheet on the studio floor and an
unlimited X-Y tracking area.
Cooke Optics will be taking its new
35-140mm zoom alongside a variety
of Anamorphic/i, 5/i, S4/i and miniS4/i
lenses.
