Story Highlights

The SVG and SVG Europe editorial teams were out in full force at last week's NAB 2018, covering the biggest sports-technology news and delivering daily SportsTechBuzz at NAB roundups. Here is a look at the SportsTechBuzz from North Hall, Outside/Mobile, and more.

This edition features G&D North America, High Rock Mobile TV, iStreamPlanet, SVGW, and T-Mobile.

The recently completed 40-ft. High Rock 1 is on exhibit.

High Rock Mobile TV, which set up shop in Gerling and Associates' booth alongside Clark Media, has its recently completed High Rock 1, a Super Stallion Duel-Stage Expansion Class production vehicle, on display. Designed with a compact, 40-ft. frame, it features a smaller footprint while sustaining the production quality that larger mobile units deliver. High Rock 1 features Sony cameras, including an HDC-4300 super-slo-mo; Grass Valley Kayenne switcher; Utah Scientific Routing; EVS replay servers; and a Cobalt multiviewer system.

iStreamPlanet (Palazzo) recently launched its new direct-to-consumer streaming platform, Orbis. In addition to high-quality video support for content owners, the platform provides deep data-driven analytics. Orbis is the backbone to Turner's new live sports-streaming service, B/R Live. The platform is free until June, when it will become a subscription-based product that will offer live streaming of major sports events, including the UEFA Champions League (English-speaking U.S. rights).

SVGW's annual networking lunch offered a presentation by Big Sky Coaching & Consulting's Lisa Gillette.

Drawing a record crowd of 80 women, SVGW hosted its annual networking lunch at NAB 2018. This year's edition featured a highly interactive and entertaining presentation by Lisa Gillette, founder of Big Sky Coaching & Consulting, titled Unconscious Gender Bias in the Workplace. The lunch was sponsored by Filmwerks International and EVS.

T-Mobile is being described by many exhibitors of wireless microphones as about as considerate as a multibillion-dollar corporation can be when it comes to lighting up its new spectrum. The company has made a number of online resources available to RF coordinators, including ongoing 600 MHz-band notifications and this handy scorecard that shows the progress of the rollout.

G&D's ControlCenter-IP centralized KVM matrix enables switching of connected computer and workstation modules.

Responding to customer requests for KVM over IP, G&D North America has introduced the ControlCenter-IP. In addition to the existing point-to-point connection of IP extender systems, ControlCenter-IP is a centralized KVM matrix that enables switching of all connected computer and workstation modules. With the addition of the ControlCenter-IP to the portfolio (the system will ship by IBC2018), G&D North America has positioned itself to offer both IP matrix and classical KVM systems, depending on each individual client's needs.
