The NAB Show has returned to Las Vegas, and the SVG and SVG Europe editorial teams are once again chasing down the hottest stories from all over the Las Vegas Convention Center. To make the onslaught of announcements easily digestible for our readers, SVG is sending you a daily roundup in SportsTechBuzz at NAB 2022, with all the top stories gathered in one easy-to-read blog.
Today's edition features ARRI, Blackmagic Design, Brightcove, Canon, Creative Dimensions, Evertz, GLOOKAST, Grabyo, Imagine Communications, Intelsat, LTN Global, Lumen Technologies, M2A Media, Panasonic, Q5X, Qvest, RT Software, Signiant, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Signiant, Telestream, Tellyo, Telstra, TSL, and Vizrt.
NORTH HALL GLOOKAST's Allan Delaurier (left) and Guilherme Silva
GLOOKAST (Booth N725) is making a splash on the NAB 2022 exhibit floor. At last night's special event, Co-Founder/President Guilherme Silva announced that former Chief Revenue Officer Allan Delaurier has been appointed CEO. Aside from this shift on the business side, GLOOKAST is demonstrating metadata migration and quick archive retrieval. Designed with hybrid environments in mind, products include Media | Producer for remote transcode and ingest, Media | Services to provide customizable solutions, and Capturer for ingest of IP or SDI feeds to multiple simultaneous destinations. Outside of Las Vegas, GLOOKAST is supplying live ingest with reliability and speed for Canada's Bell Media.
Want to check out the future of how gamification will change the way sports fans interact with their favorite sports-TV app? Visit Evertz (Booth N509) to see the demo of Ease Live AS, which is currently being used by YES Network for in-app watch parties and interactive gaming (demos of work being done with Bally Sports is also available). We've moved it forward to have a great story, says Evertz Senior Director, International Business Development, Mo Goyal. Regional sports networks and content owners can find a way to keep users engaged throughout an event with interactive graphics for things like trivia and, eventually, sports betting. We're seeing a lot of interest in what we're doing here.
Blackmagic Design's (Booth N302) DaVinci Resolve 18 video-editing/color-correction app coupled with Blackmagic Cloud offers the kind of cost-effective collaboration that makes it more accessible to more professionals no matter where they work or live. And while, yes, there is a $5-per-month charge, every user who needs to collaborate on content does not need to pay an additional $5. According to Blackmagic Design President, Americas, Dan May, only the organization or person hosting the project files needs to pay $5: Everybody else can have a free Blackmagic account and work on the project. The Blackmagic model has always been how to bring more people to the table and getting them trained and educated on how to use these tools.
Vizrt (Booth N2619) has a lot going on at NAB 2022, including an NDI Pavilion with a dozen NDI product providers. But, for sports-related highlights, CTO Gerhard Lang cites the Viz AI modules. One of the most prominent ones lately is the Object Tracker, which we used on NASCAR and other events, he explains. The control interface allows the operator to easily pick up the object to mark and then have a graphic identifying it on top with a 3D effect. It's super easy to use and very helpful. Another cool feature (especially in the age of TikTok) is the combination of Object Tracking with Eye Tracking and vertical presets to cut vertical video out from a UHD feed. That was done live and with a very good result, adds Lang. Being previewed at the booth is Vizrt Engine 5, which will offer adaptive graphics that make it easier than ever for live graphics to be created once and deployed over various platforms without having to be re-created.
Alongside web-control-based CG, newsroom graphics, virtual studio, augmented reality, videowall, playout, and channel-branding solutions, RT Software (Booth N1731) is showing how machine learning and AI in its Tactic range of sports-analysis solutions make it dramatically faster and easier to create compelling and informative sports-analysis graphics and storytelling. The automatic Player Detect function enables operators to attach graphics to multiple players and, with just a click on the players, to follow them as they move within the video. Version 6.0, shown for the first time at NAB 2022, exploits AI even more to allow automatic camera calibration to tie graphics to the pitch and allows such graphics as offside lines, speed, or distance, which previously needed a manual calibration, to be added in seconds.
CENTRAL HALL Panasonic's Michael Bergeron (left) and Keith Vidger
Panasonic (Booth C3607) is finally getting the chance to exhibit solutions originally slated to be shown at NAB 2020. Most notable is the expansion of its KAIROS platform to include cloud-based workflows. The new offering is paired with the on-premises KAIROS IT/IP platform for integration within any KAIROS ecosystem. At the booth, Senior Category Owner, Advanced Technology and Video Production, Michael Bergeron and Solutions Sales Manager Keith Vidger are spotlighting how this service supplies the same high-quality services whether the user is located onsite or at a remote location. The two executives also expect this system to have an impact at the collegiate level, with content creators for an institution sharing files with counterparts at different venues or multiple schools working simultaneously on conference-wide projects.
