Orban Optimod 8700i loudness processor

It ingests video from multiple
formats, encodes to H.264, and
delivers the result over IP. A frontfacing LCD screen offers one-touch
streaming control. Once the streaming
profiles are set up on the back
end, which can be done remotely if
needed, any user can start or stop
encoding operations at the touch
of a button. The screen displays
continuous feedback on the status of
all encoders, showing which are active
versus idle. API-level integrations with
both Facebook Live and the Wowza
Streaming Cloud streaming service are
provided.
Plura will exhibit a multi-GNSS
receiver and master clock designed
for broadcast and production use.
The GNS 10 MHz module includes
a built-in receiver to accept timelocked signals with sub-microsecond
resolution from all existing worldwide
satellite systems, including GPS
(USA), Galileo (Europe), GLONASS
(Russia), QZSS (Japan) and Compass
(China). Applications include time
and frequency reference in broadcast
facilities (slaving video sync to time
code generators, for example),
master signal generation for test
and
measurement
applications,
synchronisation across computers
for production and playout tasks, and
antenna synchronisation between
studios and mobile units.
Riedel's Mediornet Multiviewer is
a virtual multiviewer app based on
Mediornet Micron high-density media
distribution hardware and designed to
work within the Mediornet network.
Each Mediornet Multiviewer can access
any Mediornet input signal and
process up to 18 signals. These
signals can be positioned
on four physical screens
or
routed
to
any
destination within the
Mediornet system and
output at alternative
locations.
The multiviewer provides
local signal inputs and outputs
to offer further connectivity options,

such as playing out the virtual multiple
screens locally on the device.
Rohde & Schwarz' Venice 4K is an
ingest and playout platform for TV
production in standards up to UHD.
It is designed to manage tasks such
as HD-SDI ingest, studio and channel
playout as well as file-based import,
transcoding and media transfer.
Ross Video in collaboration with
The Future Group will demonstrate
the Frontier virtual studio graphics
rendering platform. Frontier uses
Epic Games' Unreal gaming engine
to provide features such as particle
effects, dynamic textures, live
reflections and shadows and even
collision detection. Employed for
rendering
background
scenery,
or foreground objects, Frontier
integrates with Ross Video's XPression
motion graphics system.
Rotolight's Neo 2 can simultaneously
be a continuous 'modelling light'
and high-speed synchronised flash,
allowing the user to focus in dimly lit
situations and optimise composition.
Designed for portrait photographers
and videographers, it delivers 1/8000
second flash with 500% flash output
and enables users to shoot with
wider apertures to create separation
between subject and backgrounds.
The Neo 2 is available as a single light,
including a belt pouch, accessory shoe,
power supply and four-piece filter
pack, or as a three-light kit with hard
flight case, stands and ball heads.
Optional accessories include softboxes, rain covers, and 10-piece colour
filter pack.

The Venice digital cinema camera

Sony's
Venice
digital
cinematography camera has a 36 x
24mm full-frame image sensor and
can natively support 4096 x 3024
pixel resolution (equivalent to fourperforation cine film) and 4096 x
2160 resolution (equivalent to threeperforation cine film). It can also
be used for 18mm height Super35
anamorphic and spherical and fullframe 24mm height anamorphic
and spherical. Base plates and other
accessories used for the existing F55
can be used with Venice. The AXS-R7
recorder can be attached with four
screws.
Suitcase TV's Iphrame Flyaway
portable production system is a
method of providing frame accurate
switching via an Internet link. It can
also be used as an add-on service for
host broadcasters wanting to offer
remote stream selection to clients
without the need for local equipment
and on-site staff. Iphrame handles
video, audio, and graphics on standard
IT hardware or virtual machines.
Suitcase's
proprietary
TimeLock
uses PTP reference clocks to ensure
that all sources and processes are
timestamped on site.
Telemetrics' Televator EP7 studio
camera pedestal is available in three
sizes to accommodate a variety of
camera and height configurations. The
EP7-600, EP7-700 and EP7-1000
versions can be combined with
Telemetrics pan/tilt heads,
a studio dolly kit, or TG4/
TG4-M TeleGlide camera
track.
The
Televator
EP7 Series can also be
floor mounted or ceiling
mounted.
TSL's new MPA1 Solo SDI allows
operators to view all 16 embedded

audio channels in an SDI stream,and
monitor any individual channel or
channel pair via a 'scroll to listen'
feature. It can be configured and
controlled from a central location
using a standard web-browser.
Video Clarity's ClearView IP video
quality analyser plays or records up
to two channels of uncompressed
video from a high-capacity testing
server into a SMPTE-compliant
network. Operators can set encoding
parameters for programme delivery
and evaluate products such as
encoders. Also on display will be
the ClearView Player IP server
which is designed for use in an IP
infrastructure. This can record one
channel and play up to two channels
of uncompressed video programming
into a SMPTE-compliant network.
Vinten's μVRC is a remote controller
for the company's Vantage robotic
head. The accompanying software
gives users access to features such
as camera select, pre-set shots,
shading and playback. The controller's
touchscreen USB joystick panel
includes the ability to label function
keys. An auto-discovery setting
enables quick setup of connected
robotic devices. By purchasing
additional
licensing
modules,
operators can expand the software up
to all of the features found in Vinten's
HD-VRC controller. Add-ons include
third-party pan/tilt/zoom integration,
functionality for additional Vantage
heads, or full compatibility with the
Vinten automation interface.
