companies in the Middle East and
North Africa.

Bexel Serves Up
Player Mics

USA: The recent 2017 Mylan World
TeamTennis (WTT) season broke
new ground in broadcast coverage
of professional tennis with the
introduction of state-of-the-art,
player-worn wireless microphones.
Supplied by Bexel, an NEP
Broadcast Services Company, the
Quantum5X QT-5100 PlayerMic kits
had previously been deployed in
other sports broadcasts.
However, they made their live pro
tennis debut when Mylan WTT's
Washington Kastles and New York
Empire squared off in Washington,
D.C.

Hitachi Clean Sweep
At UMass Sports

USA: The Tsongas Center at the
University of Massachusetts Lowell
has expanded its complement
of Hitachi Z-HD5000 cameras
to boost its live production
capabilities and take optimal
advantage
of
expanding
distribution opportunities.
An agreement between the NCAA's
America East Conference and ESPN
to bring live basketball games to
multi-screen sports network ESPN3
created the need for the Tsongas
Center to upgrade its video
equipment roster.
The on-site production team chose
to standardise on Hitachi cameras.

FanTV On Blackmagic
B

lackmagic Design's URSA Mini
digital film cameras are being used
to produce match day content for FC
Red Bull Salzburg, as part of a live OB
solution designed around the ATEM 2
M/E Production Studio 4K switcher.
Mediahaus
GmbH
has
been
producing content on behalf of FC Red
Bull Salzburg since 2005, and the core
workflow has evolved from a small
portable flyaway system into a fullyfledged OB workflow with Blackmagic
infrastructure products for acquisition,
switching, distribution and monitoring
at its very core.
Wolfgang Angermüller, CEO and
founder of Mediahaus GmbH, said:
"Taking into consideration the
distances between camera positions
and the OB, and the fact that we were
relying on the stadium's SDI network
to bridge those different points, we
also installed a Smart Videohub 16x16
matrix into the club's central technical

room. Doing so means we are now
able to reclock all of the signals at
the halfway point to ensure we don't
compromise signal integrity at any
point in the entire chain."

OnFrame Set To Launch At IBC2017
O

nFrame, a new B2D media
software company created by the
founders of media logistics company
Nativ, will launch at IBC2017.
OnFrame has been founded by Jon

Folland, Gordon Ashworth and Nick
Ryan - the founders of media logistics
company Nativ, which was acquired by
Ooyala in 2015.
Folland said: "We want to provide
an API-driven developer platform to
capture, process and augment masses
of video and audio streams cheaply
and scalably, using state of the art
machine learning.
"The aim is to generate real-time
actionable data and augmented video,
tailored by the customer, for their
own needs. OnFrame is a unified, open
platform that processes both stream
and file-based content and un-bundles

the features you typically find in
expensive, black box systems.
"With OnFrame, the API is free to
everybody and you don't need to
install anything. You can get going in
minutes, pay-as-you-go, and there is
no need for extensive integration or
high-end consulting fees. You can also
build and self-deploy your own plugins
to support a huge array of video
processing and AI use cases, with no
need to lock-in to any one platform or
service."
The beta version of
the platform will be
demonstrated at IBC.
