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 1-3.
In this post, check out IBC news from Aperi, Bridge Technologies, ATEME, Evertz, FOR-A, Harmonic, Hitomi, Imagine Communications, LiveU, Media Links, Microsoft, Net Insight, Pixellot, Qvest Media, Simplylive, and TVU Networks.
Aperi (2.C30) is outlining the benefits of its new NAT-Firewall app. The innovation is for SMPTE 2022 and SMPTE 2110 IP flows controlled by orchestrator and NMS providers. A lot of broadcasters are now telling service providers that they would like to hand them signals to be transported already encapsulated, already in the IP domain as packets, explains VP, Business Development, Andrew Osmond. As all connections will ultimately be IP, even handoffs from cameras, the primary function of the app is as a firewall. SDI and ASI were secure. But there are huge security issues and complications when it comes to IP. [The app] works like a brick wall. It will allow through only what you tell it to. You can configure the attributes, from high-level attributes to something with a specific destination or IP address. The app also provides NAT (Network Address Translation) for organization and planning and receives diversely routed flows carrying the same content.
Bridge Technologies (1.A71) is showcasing an innovative technology demonstration for remote production. The technology, a Widglets API HTML5 video monitor for the company's VB440 network probe, allows the probe to become multifunctional beyond its current deployment for monitoring IP networks, extending its usefulness beyond test and measurement. By leveraging the Widglets API, users can, for example, now deliver a full-motion, color-accurate, and ultra-low-latency video-monitoring capability to any location or any application where it is needed: all that is required is a laptop and a network connection. The VB440 IP probe supports interface speeds of 10, 25, 40, 50, and up to 100 Gb on dual interfaces, so that even the largest media networks can be accommodated with analysis of SD, HD i and p, HD HDR, 4K and 4K HDR, and above.
Video-delivery-technology company ATEME (1.D71) is presenting the TITAN playout solution, accentuating its ability to originate 24/7 linear TV channels and create popup channels for short-term events or personalized programming on direct-to-consumer OTT services. After completing live trials using both its Kyrion and TITAN solutions, the company is also showcasing how BISS-CA, the EBU's open, interoperable standard, allows broadcasters to secure high-value content in contribution and distribution to combat streaming privacy.
With more than 400 large-scale IP system installations based on its Software Defined Video Networking (SDVN), Evertz (1.D31) is showcasing tools that take advantage of an IP-based infrastructure to provide new efficient workflows for production and playout. These include Evertz's MAGNUM IP orchestration, customizable UI, and Scorpion media-processing platform. Evertz is also showcasing the DreamCatcher BRAVO collaborative production system, which debuted in April at the NAB 2019.
IBC 2019 is not only about IP for Evertz (1.D31), however. The company is expanding its portfolio of 12G-SDI solutions with an eye on the move to UHD and HDR. It is introducing the EQXUHD-10, the first enterprise-class 12G-SDI router, and SCORPION now has 12G-SDI support for mini I/O modules. Evertz is also introducing the EVMV-25G-2XQSFP integrated multiviewer, which supports 32 inputs of processing (using ST 2110) and up to four UHD outputs over a 25GbE interface. In addition, the company is announcing support for new BBC HLG v1.3 LUTs for HDR on some of its conversion products.
During the 2019 Champions League final in Madrid, several For-A (2.A51) ultra-high-speed FT-ONE-SS4K cameras were deployed for critical slow-motion replays as part of the live broadcast. The same camera is on display at the FOR-A booth this week. The FT-ONE-SS4K is being demonstrated with the ZE-ONE 4K zoom extractor. Specially designed for live instant replay in ultra-slow motion, it supports UHD shot at up to 1,000 frames per second. It provides a continual, real-time 4K live output. A native 2/3-in. image sensor enables the use of a B4 bayonet broadcast lens directly on the camera.
Harmonic (1.B20) has added a new delivery capability for its VOS cloud-native offerings, providing telco, cable, and mobile operators with real-time scalability for mission-critical, high-demand live-video-streaming services. This new SaaS offering, which Harmonic says requires no upfront investment, has been deployed by a leading mobile network operator to deliver live sports content. Operated as a fully managed service, this expanded video-delivery functionality uses a single control platform and a multi-tiered, multi-CDN approach leveraging established partnerships with third-party CDNs and video-delivery nodes deployed by Harmonic.
Harmonic (1.B20) has also collaborated with Google (14.E02) and 3SS to create an integrated OTT and broadcast live sports workflow on Android TV, delivering tailored features like picture-in-picture, multiview, and personalized mosaic. The workflow enables pay-TV operators to deliver personalized, low-latency live sports experiences on OTT and hybrid set-top boxes (STBs) using Harmonic's VOS cloud-native live-video platform.
On the Hitomi stand (2.C11), the team is talking about MatchBox Glass, launched here in Amsterdam. The free iOS app for near-instant lip-sync alignment of mics and cameras en
