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 Advanced Image Robotics, Allied Broadcast Group, Ateme, AutomaticTV, Bitcentral, Calrec, Crown Castle, Dalet, Digigram, Haivision, LucidLink, MediaKind, Nemal Electronics, Newsbridge, Program Productions, PSSI Global Services, RTS, Sencore, Shure, Sony, Veritone, and Worldcast.
NORTH HALL Digigram (Booth N2238) is highlighting what Derek Badala, director, sales, Americas, Synthax, Digigram's distributor, calls a fluid IP audio codec solution, one that major sports broadcasters, including NBC Sports and Eurosport, have implemented. The high-density IQOYA SERV/LINK multichannel IP audio codec handles four to 64 stereo (eight to 128 mono) audio input and output channels and can simultaneously encode and stream the audio inputs in multiple formats and protocols, decode IP audio streams to the outputs, and transcode IP audio streams. It's used in conjunction with web platform and connection service IQOYA CONNECT to remotely manage a codec fleet and custom user profiles and monitor in real time all communications and remote-control codecs. The newest addition to the lineup is IQOYA Guest, an audio interface for connecting remotely via mobile devices. Badala observes that, while exacerbating the need for an all-IP solution like the IQOYA units, the pandemic supercharged their development.
The Advanced Image Robotics team is promoting its fully integrated remote-production solution.
Advanced Image Robotics (Booth N830C) is demonstrating its fully integrated remote-production solution that makes live-streaming sports simple and more cost-effective. Heading its product line, the AIR One Multicam platform can handle up to 4K imaging while allowing monitoring, switching, and robotic-camera control from a device as simple as a tablet.
AutomaticTV, part of the Mediapro group of companies (all of them to be found at Booth N5420), is highlight its big new addition this year: the ability to add manned ENG cameras that can capture closeups while the AutomaticTV cameras automatically capture the match or event coverage. It's an evolution for how our productions can be done, says Marketing Director Esteban Camp. All the feeds can be sent to a platform like Vmix, where the production team can do what they want. It allows for an OB van to have less resources, and four or five people can do the whole show. In Peru, it was used for the first broadcast of a women's soccer match, and they had three manual cameras that could add closeups. Also on display is AutomaticTV ONE, a single camera with three lenses, designed for lower-level collegiate, amateur, or high school sports.
LucidLink (Booth N7301) is showcasing Filespaces 2.0, its newly updated high-performance remote-collaboration solution. According to CEO/co-founder Peter Thompson, more organizations than ever are taking advantage of remote media workflows with LucidLink. LucidLinks' flagship SaaS product allows users to access cloud storage faster than ever, and version 2.0 adds new collaborative features.
CENTRAL HALL Calrec (Booth C8008) has an ambitious setup at the show, running three independent consoles - a 48-dual-fader Apollo console, a 40-fader Artemis console, and a headless console running Calrec Assist on a PC - from a single ImPulse core (whose new v.2.2 software update makes it native to IP). In addition, Calrec's Type R and a Brio console sit on the same IP network, connected via an AoIP box. A much smaller new product, though, garners as much interest: the Talent Panel compact AoIP endpoint can be quickly configured to let users switch among multiple sources via an integrated hi-res TFT display and adjust headphone volume with a dedicated rotary control. Four switches allow the panel to be customized with common functions like talkback and cough switches. Also new: the GPIO unit for Type R is a 1RU box that delivers an additional 32 GPOs and 32 GPIs for interfacing with external systems, such as playout, phone systems, codecs. Functionality can be added to physical buttons on Type R fader panels, soft panels, or web UIs and configured via Calrec's Connect application. The pandemic provided a lot of momentum towards remote production, which these systems support, says VP, Sales, Dave Letson. But other forces were also at work, including cost saving and the shift to IP. These developments here also support that.
Shure (Booth C9612) is showing off its new KSM11 wireless condenser microphone capsule, designed to provide low- and mid-range clarity and high-end detail. Performance includes a high off-axis rejection and shock isolation, along with plosive protection; it's available in black and brushed-nickel finishes for use on Shure wireless handheld transmitters. This next-generation model in the KSM line offers a lighter, streamlined design, outfitted with a -in. gold diaphragm and high-end electronics to enhance dynamic range. Advanced suspended isolation is designed to eliminate handling noise, and the dent-resistant hardened-steel grille features three-stage plosive-reduction pop filtering. Senior Market Development Specialist Ben Escobedo calls it the flagship new capsule in the KSM line. Noting that Shure's Axient Digital line has seen significant uptake, including in broadcast sports, boosted by its pairing with Q5X's PlayerMic and CoachMic system
