The Workflow Guest Opinion


In a league of its own


WITH OFFICES in Turin, London, Manchester, Paris and New York, deltatre is a recognised leader in providing digital media and technology solutions to major sports federations and broadcasters. For the most prestigious upcoming European football tournament in 2012 it will provide a range of


broadcast signals delivered to clients and was looking for a simple SDI to HDMI converter to display broadcast feeds on inexpensive displays. When the project requirements increased, especially in the 3D and video switch fields, it chose the Matrox MC-100 mini-converter recommended and provided by


example monitoring, as an SDI to HDMI converter for the SD and HD feeds coming from our video routing system into a HDMI feed compatible with inexpensive displays. Another important feature is multiplexing in relation to our 3D graphics. With MC-100 we can convert the left and right

services, including live data gathering, HD stereoscopic graphics, official print-outs, commentator information systems, stadium giant screens and hospitality TV feeds. While recently working on an


HD graphics production project for live European football matches, deltatre needed some hardware to monitor the


dealer D1 Group. “This project made us realise that multi- function products are a smart way to improve workflow and to save money,” says Carlo Lisa, director of Sales & Business Development. “We are building 16 mobile systems, using over 60 Matrox MC-100 units. “Specifically, we use the MC- 100 for several functions.

eye HD-SDI feeds into one side-by-side feed, both on SDI and HDMI connectors. “Converging; the 3D-SDI feed can then be routed in our multiview system and displayed on our 3DTVs. Obviously the HDMI output can also be displayed on the 3DTVs, bypassing the multiview system. Another useful feature of the


MC-100 is the glitch-free switching system that prevents us having black video or no- signal on a live output feed.” deltatre had previously used other converter products but found that either it was necessary to use twice as many of them or, although cheaper, the products were simply not reliable. “Matrox MC-100 builds


in several features in a single box so saves space, cabling and of course money. “Our hardware has to be


flexible and reliable to match up with every video stream and workflow we face. We appreciate the technology of MC-100; being 3D and 3G ready it’s clear that Matrox products are looking to the future.”
