The SVG Europe and SVG Americas teams are onsite in Amsterdam for IBC 2023. As the production and broadcast industry gathers to launch new products and reconnect, the SVG team is out in force in the exhibition halls of the RAI to gather and share the latest news with the SVG community. You'll find all the key announcements and news here with daily updates through Monday.
Today's issue features Amagi, Appear, arkona technologies, AWS, Broadcast Solutions, Calrec, Canon Europe, EVS, Grass Valley, Genelec, Marshall Electronics, Matrox Video, NTT Group, Planetcast, Ross Video, Teradek, TeraVolt, TSL, Vivaro Media, Wasabi Technologies.
Amagi (Stand 4.A06) is unveiling the DYNAMIC live-production and playout system, demonstrating how it can be used to launch pop-up channels for single live sports events. With Amagi DYNAMIC, content owners spin up the cloud system for the duration of the event and retire it when the event ends. It is said to be ideal for rights owners and holders who want to maximise their content library to create multiple, parallel live events, distribute them to D2C apps and other platforms, add new viewers, and generate additional ad revenues.
Appear (Stand 1.C61) is providing IBC attendees with updates on its initial trials of hardware-accelerated SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) with major broadcasters and media enterprises. According to Appear chief executive Thomas Bostr m J rgensen, SRT enables broadcasters to revolutionise efficiency, ROI, and flexibility through transporting high-quality video over the internet. He said, Traditionally, our customers have relied on expensive satellite links and dedicated fibre circuits; the high density of our new hardware-accelerated SRT provides an option to make game-changing reductions to video-transport OPEX costs. Appear's clients include NBCUniversal, Sky, Megacable, NEP, MLB and NHL.
arkona technologies (Stand 9.C01) is introducing Blade//runner Flows. Flows is a built-in tool that simplifies configuration of Blade//runner systems. Designed for Tier 1 live broadcast productions where agility and scalability are essential, the Blade//runner core infrastructure solution provides a wide variety of tools for professional productions, including audio/video routing, compression, and processing. One of the most common requests we get from our customers is to simplify configuration so that they can quickly make changes during a production, said Erling Hedkvist, sales and business development, arkona. Flows gives them the time they could never get back by making easy work of configuring workflows. It is a true point, click, drag, and drop tool. No fuss, just spot-on results. We're so excited to present it at IBC for the very first time.
Big news from AWS (Stands 5.C90, 4.C13): Its Elemental Link UHD now supports AWS Elemental MediaConnect. Combining Link UHD with MediaConnect is a simple and cost-effective way to create live-video workflows in the cloud, saving time and resources compared with traditional on-premises, satellite, or fiber infrastructure. Customers have more flexibility in processing live video and can add broadcast-grade monitoring or integrate ISV or AWS Partner applications into live-video applications. Previously, Link could connect only to AWS Elemental MediaLive as a channel input.
Broadcast Solutions (Stand 10.D41) has brought two of its recently completed outside-broadcast trucks to Amsterdam: a large articulated truck custom-built for SuperSport and a recent fixed-chassis 12-camera unit based on the Broadcast Solutions Streamline family to be delivered to Remotion. It is also providing demonstrations of the meshLINK wireless transmission system. SuperSport IP2 is the second unit supplied to the South African broadcaster, following IP1 in June. Intelligent design packs as many as 19 workplaces into the single-expanding trailer. It is fitted out with Sony cameras and production switcher, Calrec audio, Vizrt graphics, and EVS replays. Internally, IP2 is all IP, with Imagine Communications SNP processors for SDI/IP conversion. Like the SuperSport vehicle, the Remotion S8L is fully UHD-capable. We are showing two outside-broadcast trucks at IBC this year, because we continue to see strong business in sport and entertainment, said Broadcast Solutions CEO Stefan Breder. Through our Streamline products and our bespoke designs, we meet any requirement, from a simple SNG van to the biggest truck in the world.
Calrec (Stand 8.D60) is here in Amsterdam with its full range of broadcast-audio solutions to help users focus on distributed production, remote production, remote working, virtualization, and IP. The company's latest products, including the ImPulse1 IP engine and Argo Q and Argo S consoles, are on its stand along with the Remote Production Unit (RP1,) now with an extended DSP licence. ImPulse1 is designed for smaller, single-mixer applications and is offered with a DSP licence of 128 input channels without compromising its ST 2110 capability. With a small overall form factor of 2 x 1RU, it's useful for compact installation sites, such as outside broadcast and flypack applications, where space is at a premium. Argo comes in two sizes; the larger Argo Q model has two mid-level rows of interchangeable panels; the compact Argo S has one mid-level row. Both feature a simple, intuitive, flexible IP-native surface with supercharged DSP, interchangeable panels, and configurable layouts.
Canon CR-N100 indoor PTZ camera
Canon Europe (Stand 11.C41) has expanded its PTZ lineup with the CR-N100 indoor 4K pan-tilt-zoom camera. The camera features a 1/2.3-type 4K CMOS sensor, DIGIC DV6 processor, and a 20X optical zoom lens, delivering 4K UHD-resolution foot
