Bridge Technologies
Focuses On Interoperability
Bridge Technologies is reinforcing its commitment to interoperability
and demonstrating ability to view network performance in real-time...

B

ridge Technologies on stand 1.F68
is focusing on how the company is
responding to the industry requirement
for maximum interoperability.
The Bridgetech stand is home to
a demonstration featuring Bridge's
innovative VB440-SW dual 40Gigabit
Ethernet
software
probe
and
Embrionix Design's SDI conversion
modules. The demonstration, which
shows how the SMPTE ST 2110
standard is a practicable way forward
to achieve interoperability, uses
live playback sources on the Bridge
Technologies stand, generating live
streams that enable visitors to view
network performance in real-time.
The demonstration is also being
hosted as part of the AIMS IP
Showcase at IBC (room E.106),
where more than 40 vendors
will demonstrate real-world IP
interoperability based on SMPTE ST
2110 final draft standards and AMWA

NMOS specifications.
"Achieving
absolute
and
straightforward
interoperability
between the systems of every
broadcast manufacturer is crucial
to the future of our industry," said
Simen K. Frostad, Chairman, Bridge
Technologies, "and it is uniquely made
possible by IP technology. There is
no doubt that IP can do, in technical
terms, whatever we as an industry
need it to do in order to achieve the
interoperability that is fundamental
to our success. The industry absolutely
must embrace IP."
While Frostad notes that there is
"still much to do if the true potential
of IP is to be realised," he maintains
that IP should be embraced for three
reasons:
* Interoperability demonstrably
delivered;
* Potential for the future;
* Significant cost savings.

Making 4K
Transmission
A Reality
Vislink's HCAM HEVC 4K UHD Wireless Camera
Transmitter aims to make 4K transmission a reality...

V

ideo resolutions are continually
improving and the desire to
deliver a sharper, smoother, more
realistic experience is quickly pushing
the 4K UHD video to the forefront of
"must-have" technology.
With this increase in video
quality comes increased data and
compression demands in order
to move this content from point
A to point B. HEVC ensures that
broadcasters can deliver 4K UHD
services cost effectively by providing
better bandwidth compression. HEVC
can improve compression rates
without losing clarity and detail.
Vislink's HCAM represents the next
generation of flexible, portable, HEVC
4K UHD wireless systems. HCAM is
a HEVC 4K UHD on-camera wireless

transmitter that seamlessly brings
4K transmission capabilities to a
variety of applications ranging from
broadcast, sports and newsgatherings
to event coverage and POV cameras.
HCAM works well with broadcast,
ENG and prosumer cameras due to its
highly flexible, configurable mounting
options and intuitive video interfaces.
HCAM permits 4K UHD wireless video
with a 70ms latency via Vislink's
world leading RF modulation. With
user-interchangeable RF modules and
a range of software options, HCAM
continues the sought-after line of
innovative, high-performance wireless
camera systems from IMT and Vislink.
A range of solutions from IMT-Vislink
will be on display at IBC2017 on stand
1.A69.

Embrionix
provides
innovative
conversion
solutions using a unique
product design based
on an SFP that can be
inserted directly inside
other
manufacturers'
equipment.
The VB440-SW dual
40Gigabit
Ethernet
software probe monitors high-density
IP media traffic in core broadcasting
networks, production studios, outside
broadcast and master control centres,
enabling users to quickly rectify
problems and maximise QoS.
It is unique in its ability to support
dual 40 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
- giving it an effective throughput
of 80Gigabits - and in its support of
any media oIP, providing network
operators
and
digital
media
organisations with a monitoring/
analytics solution for thousands of

SDI/HDMI/Fiber
Optic/SMPTE 2022-6 HDSDI over IP interfaces. It's
also designed with Wi-Fi
and Bluetooth® control via a
dedicated Android™ and iOS
app. In addition, the unit features
integrated camera control with
Vislink's FocalPoint compatibility.
The FocalPoint system can control
multiple camera and operator control
panel combinations, with futureproof Ethernet control. FocalPoint
allows control of up to six cameras by
multiplexing six control panels over a
single RF link.
HCAM has optional direct-docking

streams and multiple technologies in
real-time and in parallel. Providing
SDI analytics from 270Megabit to
12Gigabit requires packet accuracy in
the nanosecond range, and is already
built in to Bridge Technologies' IP
probes. The VB440-V is also the first
product to feature SMPTE 2022.7

an extension its support for ST2110,
ST2022.6, RFC 4175 and AES67.

a wide range of cameras. It can also
be paired with Vislink's L1750 range of
highly customisable wireless

modules, including an
H.264 low latency
encoder and HDSDI/3G

inputs.
With
the
broadcast industry
moving more and
more towards 4K
UHD programming,
HCAM
fills
the
industry wide need
for reliable HEVC
transmission. HEVC
allows for better
compression without
sacrificing
quality,
especially when working
with data-intensive 4K content.
4K broadcasts are no longer reserved
for in-studio applications only. With
Vislink's HCAM broadcasters will now
be able to transmit and broadcast
4K when out in the field and when
covering live broadcast events.
