Story Highlights
The SVG Europe and SVG Americas editorial teams were out in full force at last week's IBC Show, covering the biggest sports-technology news and delivering daily SportTechBuzz at IBC roundups. Here is a look at the IBC 2019 SportTechBuzz from Halls 4-7.
In this post, check out IBC news from Adder, AJA Video Systems, Avid, Blackmagic Design, Caringo, CenturyLink, ChyronHego, Dell, Deltacast, EditShare, IBM Aspera, IHSE, Limelight Networks, Masstech, Matrox, MediaEdge, MediaKind, Ncam Technologies, Open Broadcast Systems, Quantum, Qumulo, RT Software, Spectra Logic, Speedcast, Square Box Systems, Telestream, The Switch, Veritone, Verizon Media, Vizrt, Wildmoka, and Xytech Systems.
Adder (7.A17) offers a number of reasons to stop by its stand, but the AdderLink Infinity 4000 series, a high-performance 4K IP KVM system, is near the top of the list. Key is the ability for users to migrate to 4K when the time is right and without having to replace gear. The receiver enables the connection of any USB human-interface device, from mouse and keyboard to tablets, jog shuttles, and more. The transmitter, meanwhile, has dual 1GigE ports, SFP 10GigE ports, and an OLED diagnostic screen. Attendees can also see how the system is being used with the Eizo FlexScan EV3237 monitors to showcase the 4K functionality.
AJA Video Systems (7.C25) has announced the new HDR Image Analyzer 12G, bringing 12G-SDI connectivity to its real-time HDR monitoring and analysis platform developed in partnership with Colorfront. The new product streamlines 4K/UltraHD HDR monitoring and analysis workflows by supporting the latest high-bandwidth 12G-SDI connectivity. HDR Image Analyzer 12G offers waveform, histogram, and vectorscope monitoring and analysis of 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD, HDR, and WCG content for broadcast and OTT production, postproduction, QC, and mastering. AJA also unveiled the KUMO 6464-12G, a new SDI router featuring 64X 12G-SDI inputs and 64X 12G-SDI outputs for high-quality signal routing. KUMO 6464-12G suits a range of broadcast, production, post, and pro-AV environments and allows professionals to take advantage of the scalability and increased bandwidth that 12G-SDI provides. AJA President Nick Rashby reminded an IBC press conference that 6464-12G is the company's seventh KUMO router, which have been spectacular products for us. KUMO 6464-12G will ship in the autumn.
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.
Blackmagic (7.B45) is featuring its new ATEM Mini. Priced at $295, the low-cost live-production switcher is designed for live streaming, producing USB output that is recognized by streaming services as the equivalent of a webcam. With 1080p/60 capabilities, according to Bob Caniglia, director of sales, Blackmagic North America, it is considered a valuable tool for small-scale production. Other introductions this year include router-control panels Master Control Pro and Smart Control Pro, which have updated design and capabilities. Also on exhibit are two new 2,500-nit HDR video-assist monitors measuring 5 in. and 7 in. and priced at $795 and $995, respectively.
Brightcove (5.B69) has announced Beacon, a new SaaS-based OTT platform. Beacon enables companies to deliver and launch premium video experiences quickly and cost-effectively across mobile, web, smart TVs, and connected TVs. Historically, launching an OTT service was time-consuming, complex, and costly, but, with Brightcove Beacon, the process is simplified. Users can now create, launch, and monetise OTT apps faster than ever before and at greater scale. Brightcove Beacon empowers companies to quickly develop OTT applications for smart TVs, as well as web, iOS, and Android. New flexible monetisation models include advertising, subscription, and pay-per-view for live and video-on-demand (VOD) content. Brightcove Beacon's analytics, flexible pay models, and consistent experiences across all devices help content providers retain and engage loyal viewers.
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.
CenturyLink (5.B61) announced its acquisition of Streamroot earlier this week, and, here at IBC, the two companies are discussing how the merger of a traditional CDN and a peer-to-peer (P2P) provider will improve content delivery within bandwidth-constrained areas. Bill
