Command & Control Is Central
looking forward to seeing linear
channel playout, others expecting to
see innovative management solutions
head in that direction.
"I think it will be a continuation
from NAB with both IP and, to a
lesser extent, 4K taking centre stage,"
comments Sheppard. "Virtualisation
will also feature but we see that as
more case-by-case than many people
originally thought. We expect to see an
increase in the technologies that allow
linear channels to be distributed over
IP, not only the core technologies but
those surrounding them too."

mobile and OTT platforms.
Also on the news side of things,
Dejero will be showcasing the latest
enhancements to its LIVE+ Control
management
system
including
enhanced
monitoring,
station
administration,
and
reporting

ability to display real-time analytics of
network connection performance and
overall transmission quality for each

Ones to watch at IBC:

platform, CORE: sports, inspired
by its sister product, CORE:news,
which is fully integrated into

company's Continuum, which

Cinegy will be introducing its Cinegyas-a-Service solution, billed as a
hardware-free way of enabling users
to deploy software-defined television
on cloud-based virtual machines. The
company's software is being migrated
in stages to cloud-based services
such as Amazon Web Services (AWS)
enabling prospective users to test
drive and ultimately deploy Cinegy
software instantaneously.
Pebble Beach Systems will be
showing the latest developments in
its Orca IP-enabled channel solution
which operates in a cloud-based
virtual environment, while ViaccessOrca will be doing something similar
with its Voyage -TvaaS product, and
emphasising new monetisation
and analytics qualities (Even
Bigger Data looking set to be a
theme of this year's show).
Pixel Power will be building
on the demonstrations of its
StreamMaster
virtualised
playout software that impressed
at NAB, and SGL will be showing
its latest version of Flashnet. As
well as being the first European

showing of the new Infinity UI and
support for Sony CI and SMPTE's AXF,
it's also debuting FlashNet Lite, a new
entry-level software solution restricted
to a single server node.
And finally, DNF Controls will be
well represented at show stands.
Various models of its highly
configurable Universal Switch Panel

Barnfind Technologies, Black Box and
IHSE GmbH among others.
The absolute final word about the
show though goes to Pixel Power's
James Gilbert. "It's the eyeballs and
the money that dictates where the
broadcaster places their focus and
in turn where they plan their efforts
with new technologies," he says.
"'Follow the money' is the adage of
broadcasters, and so too should be
ours."
