Sounds and sweet airs: Clear-Com’s latest Tempest
Compression centre stage
JPEG 2000 is poised to grow in future production workflow according to Gael Rouvroy, CTO, intoPIX
Opinion Tempest2400 arrives
Clear-Com By Monica Heck
Clear-Com is showcasing its Tempest2400 wireless intercom system with seamless roaming
capability and MasterBelt. The system offers more coverage for broadcasters working multivenue sporting events as well as those requiring highly portable communications. It is said to offer most of the features of the original Tempest2400 rack-mount BaseStation in a compact,
portable package to allow users to communicate hands-free. The Frequency Hopping
Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology is embedded within all Tempest systems, using a narrow signal band that is continually changing frequencies to burn through RF noise and interference. As with all Tempest
wireless systems, it does not interfere with wireless microphone, IFB or in-ear monitor systems that operate in the UHF band. 10.D29a
20 year celebration Aveco By Heather McLean
Celebrating 20 years in business, Aveco is showing its facility wide media asset management solutions, master control automation, news and live event automation, and studio automation. Applications run under a
realtime operating system (RTOS) for a robust, virus-free platform with an architecture optimised for realtime and multi-site operations, says the developer. Aveco solutions are on-air at over 275 locations worldwide, ranging from single channel playout systems to very large fully redundant multi-site systems. The company is demonstrating its new Astra Studio 2 product, which allows a single operator to produce complex live newscasts and news programmes, working with existing equipment. New journalist tools and NRCS MOS integration enables journalists to use these new capabilities without needing to know the underlying technology. The Astra Suite of Tools
provides complete solutions for content management, ingest, archive, master control, as well as news and studio automation, while the new SAS Tools
provide cost-effective applications for media asset management, ingest, archive, and playout that run alongside with any vendor’s automation system. 3.B67
vested interest in a common high-end format to archive, preserve and monetise the avalanche of video footage generated 24/7 globally. The need for efficient codecs has gained significant attraction in the industry.
Gael Rouvroy: ‘The future of JPEG2000 is bright’
Several initiatives are pushing the industry beyond HD: the UltraHD 8K promoted by the NHK, the Higher Frame Rates up to 120 frames per second in digital cinema and broadcast, the 16 bit colour depth in camera workflow… and the HD 4K display technology starting to emerge in the consumer market. Broadcasters understand the industry’s key words: highest image quality, flexible delivery formats, interoperability, standardised profiles for interactive video transport and workflows. They also have a
The new coming HEVC codec is promising for optimising the distribution of new essence to deliver the customer on a pipe with very limited bandwidth. For broadcasting, when no further editing is expected, long-GOP MPEG is always preferred The future of the wavelet- based JPEG2000 codec is bright as it brings features that give the user superior control and flexibility of the image processing chain. The codec requires less power, less space in hardware implementations and generally delivers greater scalability, flexibility and visual quality than any other codecs. Intra-frame by its very nature, the codec closely matches the production workflow in which each frame of a video is treated as a single unit. And, as an open standard, JPEG2000
supports every resolution, colour depth, number of components and frame rates. JPEG2000 is the key to optimise today’s and tomorrow’s broadcast and cinema workflows. The new standardised JPEG2000 broadcast profile (Part1-Amd3 )perfectly matching our industry needs, the benchmark position of JPEG2000 in the contribution chain, the growing use of JPEG2000 to archive and create mezzanine files and the ongoing standardisation process of the Interoperable Master Format (IMF) based on JPEG 2000 are just few reminders of the growing interest in JPEG 2000. I am glad to be here at IBC2012. Just as broadcasters are recovering from the transition to HDTV, new challenges and opportunities present themselves in the ever faster moving technology swirl. Ultra HDTV is emerging everywhere and an increasing number of manufacturers, broadcasters and producers are using JPEG 2000 as it significantly eases the adaption of today’s industry to all these new challenges. That’s a fun place to be. 10D31
