IBC begins today, and the SVG Europe and SVG editorial teams are chasing down the hottest stories from all over Rai Amsterdam. To make the onslaught of announcements easily digestible by our readers, SVG Europe is sending you SportsTechBuzz at IBC 2019 daily, with all the top stories assembled into an easy-to-read blog from our reporters.
Today's edition features Avid, Canon, Caringo, Evertz, EVS, Grass Valley, Harmonic, Lawo, NEP, Q5X, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Telos Alliance.
Avid S4 control surface
Avid (7.B55) is showcasing production and postproduction workflow solutions for video- and audio-content creators. For the audio community, the new Avid S4 and Avid S1 control surfaces provide integrated, powerful yet affordable sound-mixing solutions ideal for smaller broadcasters. Making its European debut at IBC 2019, Pro Tools Ultimate delivers 50% more voice/audio tracks than previous versions. In addition to the increase in base voice limit to 384, Pro Tools | Ultimate software and HD Native customers can further increase the number of available voices to 768 per system - on par with a three-card Pro Tools | HDX system - with the addition of Pro Tools | Ultimate Voice Packs. Today's content creators must contend with new formats, higher resolutions, ever-tightening budgets, and broader distribution realities, so media-creation and -distribution tools must work harder than ever, says Avid CEO/President Jeff Rosica. At IBC, we look forward to demonstrating how, with Avid, our customers can deliver more content and create at the speed of inspiration.
Canon's (12.D60) big news is the CJ15ex4.3B, the latest addition to its UHDxs series of high-end portable zoom lenses for 4K broadcast cameras with 2/3-in. sensors. Wide angle is important to the industry, especially to the sporting world, says Larry Thorpe, senior fellow, Canon U.S.A. The weight of the lens is only 4.8 lb., so it can be mounted on jibs and drones. And a very special effort was made on HDR and the wide color gamut front with multi-layer coatings on the elements and a new Air Sphere Coating (ASC) that is ultra-low-reflective.
Caringo (5.C33) has unveiled Swarm 11, the latest version of its object-storage platform. Caringo Swarm 11 features Partial File Restore (video clipping), large-file bulk upload in the content UI, file sharing, and backup to any Amazon S3 region. M&E and content-driven organizations that need to keep assets available can now satisfy rapid-access, HTTP-based delivery and protection requirements on a single scalable software storage platform using their hardware of choice.
With more than 400 large-scale IP system installations based on its Software Defined Video Networking (SDVN), Evertz (1.D31) is showcasing tools that take advantage of an IP-based infrastructure to provide new efficient workflows for production and playout. These include Evertz's MAGNUM IP orchestration, customizable UI, and Scorpion media-processing platform. Evertz is also showcasing the DreamCatcher BRAVO collaborative production system, which debuted in April at the NAB 2019.
IBC 2019 is not only about IP for Evertz (1.D31), however. The company is expanding its portfolio of 12G-SDI solutions with an eye on the move to UHD and HDR. It is introducing the EQXUHD-10, the first enterprise-class 12G-SDI router, and SCORPION now has 12G-SDI support for mini I/O modules. Evertz is also introducing the EVMV-25G-2XQSFP integrated multiviewer, which supports 32 inputs of processing (using ST 2110) and up to four UHD outputs over a 25GbE interface. In addition, the company is announcing support for new BBC HLG v1.3 LUTs for HDR on some of its conversion products.
Innovative design and the latest technologies are the driving force behind new production and storytelling solutions showcased by EVS (8.A96). Its new Overcam AI-driven autonomous camera system enables rights owners and holders to create more-affordable immersive productions by economically capturing the action from more camera angles. Attendees can also discover how EVS's ingest solution combines the XS-NEO server and IPD-VIA Ingest app to provide fast, simple ingest with concurrent support of multiple formats, codecs, and frame rates. The latest version of the Dyvi switcher is on display, along with the XT-VIA live-production server, which recently passed the Joint Task Force for Networked Media (JTNM) testing for IP interoperability. This testing proves interoperability not only of AV flows (SMPTE ST 2110) but also for configuration and management between different network endpoints.
GV Orbit IP configuration, control, and monitoring system
Grass Valley (9.A01) is debuting the GV Orbit unified IP configuration, control, and monitoring system. The consolidated software solution is specifically structured for the dynamic orchestration of broadcast media networks, whether SDI, hybrid, or pure IP. GV Orbit comprises one integrated package delivering an extensive diagnostic toolset for handling everything from multiviewers to routing control and monitoring via a single interface. Users can easily add or remove devices, change control surfaces, or rename signals, panels, and workflow indicators on the fly. GV Orbit is architected to sit on Distributed Data Services (or DDS real-time middleware) and autonomously recognizes and displays any new device on a network, with all device parameters immediately accessible.
In other Grass Valley (9.A01) news, European facilities and services provider Euro Media Group has standardized on the GV K-Frame X production switcher ahead of major sports productions in 2020. The switchers will be deployed across several EMG-owned companies, inclu
