4K broadcast lenses
- Fujinon UA18x5.5

Fujinon has added three new
models to its UA series 4K broadcast
lenses. The UA18x5.5 covers the focal
lengths of 5.5 - 100mm to capture a
wide range of scenes. The UA14x4.5
is an ultra-wide angle lens covering
the focal lengths of 4.5 - 63mm.
The UA27x6.5 is a 27x zoom lens
that covers the focal lengths of 6.5 -
180mm. These expand Fujifilm's 4K
broadcast lens lineup to seven models.
GatesAir's IP Link 200A allows
broadcasters to interconnect studios
and remote locations, including
transmitter sites, using the AES67
standard and any of today's encoding
algorithms across wide-area IP
networks. It interconnects AES67 and
analogue/AES3 signals simultaneously,
and enables conversion between the
two formats. Users operating in mixed
mode can convert between the AES67
and analogue/AES3.
Lynx Technik's new Yellobrik CQS
1441 enables single-link 12G-SDI
signals to be converted to quadlink 3G-SDI and vice versa. 6G to/
from quad-link 1.5G conversions
are also supported. Options
include 12G fibre and a 12G
loop output. A 4K UHD camera
or other input source can be
connected via 12G fibre to the
SFP fibre input and the 12G loop
connects the CQS 1441 to a 12G video
mixer for signal switching. The CQS
1441 also offers 12G fibre to 12G coax
conversion.
Mediaproxy specialises in IP
software and will show a new source

Fujinon UA27x6.5
offers 27x zoom

comparison feature for real-time
identification of mismatched content.
This enables network operators
managing multiple stations and
playout facilities to compare video
content from one or more live sources
and provides real-time alerts of any
mismatch. An AI processor added
to the company's LogServer detects
advertisers' logos, parental guidance
and viewer warnings. LogServer
supports Newtek NDI and both SMPTE
2022-6 and SMPTE 2110 media over IP
formats. Mediaproxy will demonstrate
the latest version of its HTML5-based
LogPlayer. This allows access to
recorded content from anywhere in
the world and includes automated
workflows, enabling instant publishing
to social media channels.

Octopus Newsroom will introduce
version 8.2 of its Octopus newsroom
computer system. New features
include the ability to use Octopus
assignments for enhanced long
term
and
short
term
planning.
Operators can now
quickly create a

new theme for a defined number
of stories, describe how the theme
should be handled and define who
will be assigned. Also added is a new
feature which simplifies interviewee
management. Story handling is
enhanced to allow assignment-based
grouping. When an assignment
contains several versions of a story,
all can now be grouped for easy
overview. New rundown capabilities
speed up operations that are
performed multiple times each day.
A lot of story content that could only
be edited in the story editor is now
editable directly from the rundown.
Operators also gain the ability to
create new elements, or convert or
delete existing ones, directly from the
rundown. Character-generated text
lines can now be displayed as
first and last words. Octopus
V8.2 also delivers close and fast
integration with Viz Mosart and
Opus newsroom automation
without requiring any additional
plugins.
Omnitek's Ultra TQ has
become a network connected
waveform rasteriser supporting both
SDI up to 3G and SMPTE 2110 / 2022-6
IP connections. The Ultra TQ gains the
ability to analyse and decode Dolby E
and D audio for monitoring and quality
checking, the ability to de-embed SDI
/ 2110 / 2022-6 audio content to AES/
EBU audio outputs, plus as the ability
to monitor AES/EBU audio on discrete
audio connections.

Phabrix will present the latest HDR
toolsets in its Qx Series, including
support for HLG and S-Log3. New
features making their European
debut include TIFF import and new
test patterns, as well as a toolset for
12G-SDI interface stress testing. The
Qx also offers 12G-SDI physical layer
analysis with Real-Time Eye technology
for SMPTE compliance verification.
TestTree's StreamProbe IPTV and
OTT QoS/QoE monitor can be used
at all key stages of the video delivery
media chain, from contribution and
encoding to studio output and delivery.
Software-based, the 1U StreamProbe
is designed for Linux and Microsoft
Windows operating systems. It can be
applied to live TS-over-IP recordings,
delivering MPEG-2 TS video over IP
networks. Live TS-over-IP service
streaming over a low bandwidth link is
also achievable.
Vitec Video Innovations will also
show the latest version of its EZ TV
IPTV and digital signage platform
which automates video streams,
signage
campaigns
and

combined with AES encryption.
V-Nova will demonstrate high quality
live 4K delivery via its PERSEUS Plus
video compression codec and P.Link
contribution encoder at bitrates down
to 8Mbps. Powered by PERSEUS Pro,
the company's P.Link is designed to
reduce bandwidth requirements by up
to 80% for UHD, while also unlocking
