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 12-15 and other news.

In this post, check out IBC news from BT Media, Broadcast Solutions, Canon, Digital Video Sud, EEG Video, Grabyo, Haivision, Ikegami, Marshall Electronics, Mobile Viewpoint, NEP, Professional Show, Red Bee Media, Signiant, Sony, Synamedia, Tellyo, Telstra, Teradek, V-Nova, Wowza Media Systems, and Zixi.

BT (O.D02) demonstrated one of the highest-ever specification live sports broadcasts here at IBC with a broadcast of the English Premier League match between Liverpool and Newcastle United at a private, invitation-only event, which was also attended by BT Sport's latest pundit, football legend Robin van Persie. Working with established partners, BT Sport and BT's Media & Broadcast division delivered the broadcast in 4K HDR pictures and Dolby Atmos sound. The demonstration builds on BT Sport's heritage in providing the ultimate viewing experience, following its debut of Dolby Atmos in 2016 and this season's launch of one of the world's first HDR services, BT Sport Ultimate. Partnering on BT's live demonstration today were Dolby, which supported creation and playback of immersive stadium sound using Dolby Atmos audio, and Timeline TV and Telegenic, providing the match coverage and match cameras, respectively. Jamie Hindhaugh, COO, BT Sport, says, BT Sport Ultimate gives you the ultimate viewing experience. We're proud to lead the industry with world-class pictures and sound. We will continue to innovate in this area, and viewers can expect more to come around personalization and immersive audio. BT Sport has a rich history of leading the industry with broadcast innovation, whether it's this season's launch of one of the world's first HDR channels, BT Sport Ultimate, or, our 2018 world-first 5G-enabled remote-production broadcast in London.

Broadcast Solutions has taken two stands at IBC 2018, including the show's largest outdoor display space. Focusing on systems integration, the outdoor stand (O.E02) is accompanied by an indoor stand (8.D74) where Broadcast Solutions is presenting its answer to today's and future challenges in managing media infrastructures. Based on more than 20 years' experience in system design Broadcast Solutions has developed hi, an intuitive and easy to use control layer for media appliances.

Canon (12.D60) is talking about a new wide-angle lens on its stand here in Amsterdam. The CJ15ex4.3B IASE broadcast zoom lens with 4K optical quality is new to IBC. Says Yuya Suzuki, manager, broadcast product management, EMEA, Imaging Technologies and Communications Group, Normally, a zoom lens has a 12X ratio, but we've extended this lens to 15X ratio to increase the zoom capacity on the pitch side. This is now the widest-angle lens we do. The company is also talking about last year's big news for the sports-broadcasting market, the UHD DIGISUPER 122 UJ122x8.2B. This is now well-accepted in the market for its zoom ratio and wide-angle lens, Suzuki says. It provides a more exciting, more emotional picture: if something happens in front of the goal keeper, you use this one to capture the emotion [of the players].
