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 and beyond. To make the deluge 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 Ai-Media, Blackmagic, Canon, Dalet, EditShare, EEG Video, Evertz, EVS, FOR-A, Fujinon, IHSE USA, Leader Instruments, Lumen Technologies, Marshall Electronics, NEP, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Sony's Hawk-Eye Innovations, and Teradek.

NORTH HALL Dalet (Booth N4423) is introducing two offerings at NAB 2022: Dalet Flex for Teams, offered as-a-service for all teams with digital-media-management and multiplatform-delivery requirements, and Dalet Pyramid solutions to enable modern storytelling and news-production practices with centralized planning, remote editing, and digital-production capabilities.

EditShare (Booth N3008) is unveiling its new FLEX cloud solutions for media-asset-management (MAM) and storage software. FLEX enables organizations to migrate to a work anywhere environment by offering access to content wherever the creative staff need to be and also addresses the move toward an opex financial model in which cloud-hosting and storage fees change to reflect the level of business. Leading the new initiatives is FLEX Cloud Edit, which provides MAM, high-performance software-defined storage, and virtual workstations in the AWS cloud - all while allowing use of whatever editing software the user prefers. Other features include FLEX Cloud Edit+ for accelerated file transfer and FLEX Cloud Sync to synchronize content between archive storage and cloud storage.

Blackmagic's (Booth N302) URSA Broadcast G2 cameras have a new beta version (7.8) designed to make live streaming easier. Users can stream directly to YouTube, Twitter, and other platforms complete with camera control, tally, and talkback sound to the camera via an ATEM Streaming Bridge. When the ATEM Streaming Bridge is connected to an ATEM switcher, customers get full support for camera control, tally, and talkback. This means that, through one streaming link, the camera operator can stream live to the studio while receiving instructions, have their camera color corrected live, and see when they are on-air. And streaming via USB connection to mobile phones or Ethernet adapters has also been added, along with improved RAW recording and Premier Pro performance and stability.

EVS (Booth N2625) MediaCeption Signature 1.0, the company's latest end-to-end asset-management solution, is debuting at NAB 2022. Web-based interfaces allow users to perform different work functions in live or near-live productions that seamlessly integrate everything from ingest to playout. And appearing for the first time at a major U.S. trade show is the EVS XtraMotion cloud-based replay service. The technology uses cloud and AI-based technologies to create up to 2X or 3X video replays using any 50- or 59.95-fps source as long as it is 720p, 1080i, 1080p, or UHD format. It's integrated into the LSM-VIA and XT-VIA live-video-production servers.

Evertz Scorpion Smart Media Processing Platform

Networking and CDN provider Lumen Technologies (Booth W4418) has opted for Evertz's (Booth N5907) Scorpion Smart Media Processing Platform for its next-generation contribution network. Speaking during Evertz's press conference at NAB 2022, Evertz Senior Director, International Business Development, Mo Goyal said, It gives Lumen the ability to build a large contribution network that connects multiple stadiums inside the U.S. for major sports. Lumen selected the Scorpion platform to upgrade its Vyvx offering by enhancing its ability to support customers with multiple UHD and 1080p HDR video signals. Evertz has also announced the availability of the award-winning DreamCatcher BRAVO Studio on Microsoft Azure Marketplace as well as additions to its portfolio of RF solutions and its new Ease Live SaaS GFX platform.

Teradek (Booth N212LMR) is highlighting its 4K HDR workflows for live streaming.

The company is also displaying applications in live event production. On display in this sector are Wave, a 7-in. HD live streaming monitor; Spark 4K, a wireless transmitter and receiver system; and Prism Flex portable 4K HDR encoder/decoder system.

IHSE USA (Booth N6913) is spotlighting the latest trends in KVM, headlined by its Draco MultiView 4K60 - enabling simultaneous operation of four computers displayed on a single display - and tera flex matrix switch. A live demonstration of the Draco ultra 240 series of high-frame-rate extenders features two professional esports athletes going head-to-head. In addition, IHSE USA's booth is showcasing KVM-over-IP solutions from its acquisition of kvm-tec and VuWall's TRx 3.1 centralized video-wall-management platform.

EEG Video and Ai-Media (Booth N5509) are appearing at their first NAB Show together since the latter acquisition of the former's in April 2021. Showcasing advanced and cost-effective captioning, their setup features solutions for a variety of use cases.
