NORTH HALL Despite the move to IP, there is still a place for SDI within live sports broadcasting, as Evertz (Booth N2225) is demonstrating at NAB 2023. The company is touting 12G-SDI updates that are for sports venues and local sports broadcasters who, for cost reasons, aren't yet ready to move to IP but want to upgrade their SDI capabilities. This includes new features for its 12G-SDI NEXX processing router, such as output frame synchronization, timecode, and mixed-reference support. The addition of the new NEXX-670 FPGA-based module expands the processing capabilities of the NEXX platform and allows broadcasters to transition to IP when they are ready.
Brainstorm's booth features Virtual Production Theatre to demonstrate virtual-set and real-time 3D-graphics capabilities.
Brainstorm (Booth N2639), a provider of virtual-set and real-time 3D-graphics solutions, is showcasing its flagship InfinitySet, which enables users to create photorealistic augmented- and mixed-reality content. The demonstration at the company's Virtual Production Theatre features a combination of chroma sets and shaped LED videowalls, along with real-time, seamless extra-render and set extensions with color-matching 3D LUTs, in-context AR motion graphics, fully immersive talent teletransport, multi-background content, and more. Receiving its U.S. debut, the company's Edison Ecosystem transforms any live or online presentation into an immersive experience using AR and virtual environments.
Cloud MAM vendor IPV (Booth N1727) will lead a discussion on cloud deployment and how cloud media management promises faster production, lower costs, and efficient remote workflows on Tuesday. Moderating the discussion will be VP, Customer Success, Nigel Booth, who with Hearst Television VP, Broadcast Technology, Joe Addalia will discuss Hearst's journey to cloud media management and the benefits of a private cloud vs. multi-tenant during the Video Asset Management, The HEARST Television Journey to a Castle in the Cloud discussion in the Create Inspiration Theater at 11.20 a.m.
Open Broadcast Systems (Booth N2862) is demonstrating new features to enable cloud workflows, including interlaced-to-progressive conversion and the CDI (Cloud Digital Interface) protocol. These features enable an easy on-ramp to the cloud, as well as allowing broadcast-standard encoding and decoding to and from cloud applications that may be more web-focused. Company founder and Chief Executive Kieran Kunhya described its encoders and decoders as key pieces of the puzzle in moving live content to and from the cloud.
Rohde & Schwarz's Martin Holmes
Rohde & Schwarz (Booth N1949) is off to a busy start at NAB 2023, with its main focus on providing productivity and reliability to customers. Intended to integrate power and agility in video workflows, the R&S SpycerNode2 is joining the company's lineup of storage platforms. Similar to its predecessor, the R&S SpycerNode, this new product retains the 5RU storage appliance while also adding two 1RU RAID control servers. This feature boosts RAID and delivery performance by as much as 50% in 4K applications. In tradition to what Rohde & Schwarz has always supplied to the sports-video-production market, the latest THU9evo transmitter addresses the need for sustainable broadcasting. In an industry that is slowly shifting toward cloud-based workflows, the company is spotlighting the need to offer this flavor of solutions. We're highlighting [the industry's] ongoing transition from hardware to software, said Martin Holmes, senior business development manager, North America. We're starting to understand what we have to do to break out this software and incorporate them into other tools.
CENTRAL HALL Sony's Andy Raynor
Sony (Booth C8101) is highlighting the NXL-ME80, an ultra-low-latency HEVC product for low-bitrate remote production. Said Andy Raynor, chief technologist for Nevion, Remote has been the reserve of relatively high-bandwidth connectivity, which is always a prerequisite. But, with the ME80, you can do remote production with relatively low-bandwidth connectivity, making the cost of remote production viable for the next sports tier down.
Cyanview (Booth C6635) CEO and founder, David Bourgeois, is talking about camera shading, If you're looking to integrate large-sensor, shallow-depth-of-field cameras into your live sports productions, we have everything you need here.
Joseph Electronics (Booth C1713) is showing a number of new products, including the Ereca STAGE RACER 2 optical-fiber transmission solution. According to Southeast Sales Engineer Bo Reames, it operates in a decentralized network topology, and up to 24 units can be strung together, and any signal can be sent from one unit to another. It's super powerful, he said, and people are finding out
