R&S for DVB-T2 Bavaria’s public broadcaster, Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR), has gone on the air with the new AVHE100 headend from Rohde & Schwarz. BR – which broadcasts one programme in HD and several programmes in SD in Munich and the surrounding area – is the first to use this headend for its DVB-T2 test operations. Experts from Rohde & Schwarz, BR and ARGE RBT (a technical consortium of the German public broadcasters) have already integrated the innovative system into their existing infrastructures. Bayerischer Rundfunk is also using the R&S AVG100 AV gateway, which converts broadcast signals such as HD-SDI, SD-SDI and ASI into IP transport streams. Error control is improved due to the use of forward- error correction in line with Pro-MPEG CoP#3/SMPTE 20/22. 8D35

HBS: U-HD talk is dangerous
Sony By Adrian Pennington
FIFA’s host broadcaster HBS has contracted Sony to provide all the outside broadcast facilities and technical crew at all 12 venues for the Brazil World Cup in 2014, as well as a test venue next year during the Confederations Cup.
about demands for 3D production in Brazil. “We need to evaluate how much it will cost and whether it is possible for FIFA to finance that,” said Francis Tellier, HBS CEO. “It can end up as everything, which is hard, nothing, or one match a day.”
As to Ultra-HD, Tellier had some strong words. “It is a brilliant format but there is a

First SilverBACKs in Europe

MultiDyne’s SilverBACK-II camera mounted fibre transport technology has been deployed by German system integrator Broadcast Solutions for use in one of its new OB vans, which is on show for the first time at IBC.
“These two SilverBACK-II

FIFA and in 2010 South Africa supplied the facilities and substantial funding to produce 25 matches in 3D. For the past two World Cups Grass Valley has supplied all the main OB crew and facilities.
The facilities for Brazil are being concentrated on 2D HD and include at least 408 cameras, 34 per stadia. Given the size of the country, all the core infrastructure will remain in situ at the venues with key kit and crews transported between venues. FIFA is about to start discussions with broadcasters
danger for the industry in communicating to the public that U-HD is available now. U-HD is a technology demo and if it is being compared with 3D – which it was in London [Olympics] – it creates confusion. 3D is available now and you cannot expect U-HD to go mainstream for 20 years. If FIFA say they would like to shoot the final in Rio in U-HD then of course we will. But our duty as an advisor to FIFA is to make it clear what is available now, tomorrow and in ten years and we will not add to that confusion.” 12A10
units are the first to be installed in Europe”, said MultiDyne President, Frank Jachetta. “The product started shipping last week. Basically, it allows broadcasters to take a camera, even of a lesser scale, and give it the transport features that often aren’t part of it, so all the signals go through one fibre from camera to truck.” The SilverBACK-II is a battery-powered fibre transport system for transmitting all camera signals, including SDI video, audio, control data, GPIOs and tally, from a compact case. It allows camera operators to extend the distance between the camera and the OB truck to transport SDI video up to 3G HD-SDI uncompressed with embedded or separate programme audio.

of research and development for SoundField said, “I don’t think we could have put the future of SoundField’s legacy in better hands. SoundField has been around a long time but we’ve been lacking resources for sales, marketing, design and manufacture. “We’ll now be able to put our ideas in front of a global audience, taking us out of the UK and Europe into other markets,” Schillebeeckx predicted. “And longer term we also hope to bring more products to the market quicker.” 10.B41
