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 2018 SportTechBuzz from Halls 12-15.

In this post, check out what these companies rolled out at IBC: Amimon, Artel Video Systems, BT Media & Broadcast, Canon, Cooke Optics, Edgeware, Euro Media Group, Fujinon, Globecast, Grabyo, Haivision, Ikegami, Imagen, Imagine Communications, Limelight Networks, Marshall Electronics, Mobile Viewpoint, Movicom, M2A Media, Ooyala, Ostmodern, Pixellot, Signiant, Sixty, Sony, Telos Alliance, Telstra, and V-Nova.

Amimon (12.G74), creator of wireless HD Joint-Source-Channel-Coding (JSCC) technology, and Teradek (12.E65) partnered to launch Amimon Original Programme at IBC. This program aims to provide customers with the tools to recognize original products, and to fully understand the differences and risks associated with using replica and unoriginal products. The movie production, aerial filming, live broadcasting, and real-time video distribution systems require wireless video with near zero-latency and high picture fidelity. Original products are critical to avoid interruptions or unexpected cut-offs and to ensure robust, smooth production flows with top quality transmission.

Also in the IP Showcase is Artel Video Systems. Artel demonstrated SMPTE ST 2110-30 and AES67 compatibility, highlighting the interoperability and audio-over-IP accuracy of the Quarra 10G PTP Ethernet switches. As broadcasters migrate to IP, standards-based solutions that provide service continuity, interoperability, and accurate synchronization are imperative for mission-critical media feeds, said Rafael Fonseca, vice president, product management at Artel. Participation in the IP Showcase validates the efforts of vendors like Artel and industry organizations in developing standards-based IP solutions and specifications to meet these needs.

BT Media & Broadcast (O.D02) sat in the sunshine at the front of the Rai discussing its next-generation OB network, which is now in its third Premier League season of operation. Said Chris Ainger, head of broadcast technology: We've been running out next generation OB network for the Premier League since the 2014/2015 season, and it is now spreading out to other grounds. It's evolving in scale and locations. It's been a phenomenal success. Last season we did 42,000 hours of uncompressed in HD over Premier League venues, 4,000 hours in UHD and 300Tb of data.

Canon (12.D60) went long and wide with two new 4K lenses: the UHD-DIGISUPER 122 with a 122x zoom ratio and a focal-length range of 8.2mm on the wide end and 1,000mm at the telephoto end. Also new is the UHD-DIGISUPER 111 which has the ability to exceed 4K resolution and offers a 111X zoom ratio and a focal-length range of 8.3 to 925mm. Both lenses also have new controls that increase the operators ability to dial in the lens as needed, including a tool to control bokeh, giving the user the ability to blur part of the image and make it more visually appealing.

Canon also launched the newest addition to its XF range of camcorders, the XF705. Equipped with the XF-HEVC format, XF705 offers 4K UHD 50P 4:2:2 10-bit recording to SD cards, with superior levels of detail. Combined with a 1.0 type CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV6 processing, the XF705 delivers improved noise performance, sensitivity and cinematic depth of field. With enhanced HDR capabilities, including an advanced 12G-SDI interface and IP streaming, the XF705 is poised to influence industry UHD HDR production workflows.

Cooke Optics (12.D10) added further depth and character to its Cooke Anamorphic/i lens family at IBC 2018 as it is presenting the 50mm focal length of the new Anamorphic/i Full Frame Plus range. This addition to the Anamorphic/i range has been designed to meet the growing appetite for large format production, while applying the popular anamorphic characteristics including flare and oval bokeh.

Edgeware (14.F20) announced its first container-based software solutions, optimized for public and private cloud platforms. The solutions are being delivered as containers are its Origin products, TV Content Capture, and TV Repackager. Following these, Edgeware has also revealed plans to migrate the rest of its software solutions into Docker containers. Said Karl Thed en, CEO at Edgeware. It takes our software solutions to the next level and allows our customers to benefit from our technology while deploying it natively in the cloud. It also gives Edgeware the core capability to offer its technology in a SaaS model.

In the IP Showcase, SVG's Ken Kerschbaumer chaired a discussion on stage with Tom Giles, technical manager at the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC), and Ronald Meyvisch, CTO at Euro Media Group (stand 0.A01). Titled, IP and Sports Production: Winning Ways', the session looked at how IP is impacting sports production. Giles spoke about how he, with the help of partner NEP (stand 14.C48), overhauled, rebuilt, and remodeled Wimbledon, AELTC's infamous base, starting in 2016 when AELTC took over as host broadcaster from the BBC's 90-year reign. Meanwhile, Meyrisch went into detail on the in, outs, practicalities, and realities of the company's OBjective 2020, aimed at designing a new concept for future media production solutions.

Fujinon's latest offering, being shown on stand 12.B20, is a 70 8.7 lens that was on display for the first time ever and is a low-cost UHD and those looking for a 46x line will see two new lenses, the UA46x9.5 and UA46x13.5. Both are available in different configurations: lens/bo
