camera tracking Besat Broadcasting Systems is showing AutoTrack, a camera tracking system. Besat asks visitors to remember a time when they tried to shoot a high profile scene while sitting on a dolly that was being pulled too fast or to slowly along the rails by a third party. The company advocates taking full control of the dolly by using AutoTrack, which it says offers full manual and automated control of camera track movements. In manual mode, the
cameraman can use the pedal under his feet to adjust the speed of his movement back and forth on the tracks. In the automated mode, the speed and acceleration can be programmed through a control panel. I9.D26
camera interface Bluebell Opticom is launching a new compact camera interface here at IBC2012, which allows HD-SDI to be used directly into a standard IP network environment. Featuring Stagebox by BBC Research and Development, and 100Mbps AVC-I compression, the HD-SDI is converted and carried over the network with full broadcast quality video. This allows a remote camera to interface to an IP network and be used directly in the production environment. Stagebox provides video, audio and ancillary information over a time synchronous network. Audio, control, tally and talkback are carried along with bi- directional HD-SDI signals. In addition the system is completely synchronised providing IP equivalent to a genlocked SD-SDI system. Timing and control is based on IEEE 1588 and the proposed SMPTE timing standard. 3.A68

TV networks have been reluctant to commission 3D episodic series citing the cost of equipment, extra personnel and of meeting the same tight schedule as the 2D show. But do these arguments stand up to the test?
In the US, Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) shot trial episodes of multi-camera NBC soap Days of Our Lives and of ABC’s Happy Endings, a single-camera style sitcom and concluded that 3DTV shows can be made cost-effectively. Moreover, Sony’s tests found that 3D can be used to enhance character-driven drama, for example by increasing the emotional
bond viewers feel for characters.
IBC is fortunate to welcome one of the key figures behind that trial, Spencer Stephens, EVP, SPE to take us step-by-step through the process demonstrating that, when properly planned and executed, 3D shows and motion pictures can be produced within the constraints of normal 2D production schedules while adding only marginally to overall costs.
Accompanied by footage and shown to dramatic effect on the IBC Big Screen this morning’s session shows for once and for all ‘Why Budget- Wary Producers Should Wake up to Stereoscopic 3D’. 11:30 - 12:30 Auditorium
Spencer Stephens is set to explain today why budget-wary producers should wake up to 3D
Hotel guests benefit from wireless TV delivery
VideoPropulsion By Ian McMurray
The Mobile Video Hotspot (MVHS) is designed to deliver linear digital television programming across a hotel property’s
wireless networks to most mobile and handheld devices, such as cell phones and tablets. According to its developer, VideoPropulsion, it delivers all the features and benefits of the FloodGate line of HDTV
headend appliances, and processes incoming streams from DISH Network, DirecTV, cable TV, ATSC off-air and other HD content sources. It then transforms the content into formats suitable for playback on mobile devices. Content security is
maintained through the use of industry standard encryption mechanisms. MVHS can be deployed as a standalone service or integrated into a new FloodGate FG-4000 series appliance. 1.C95
Universal quick-connect outputs Vaddio By David Fox
The new Universal Quick- Connect CCU for Vaddio’s ClearVIEW line of HD pan/tilt/zoom cameras now includes HD-SDI/SDI, HDMI and analogue HD component outputs for flexibility in system design and integration. All three outputs are live simultaneously, while the new
More output options: Vaddio’s Universal Quick-Connect CCU
design enables the adjustment of white balance, colour, pedestal, gamma, knee, chroma, detail, iris and gain functions with the press of a button. These controls are
said to deliver a more accurate representation of the image that is being captured, and the ability to colour-match and shade multiple cameras. User-defined adjustments can
be stored on three Scene- Store buttons.
The CCU delivers HD video, power and control over three Cat5 cables up to about 150 metres without the loss of quality or latency. A new advanced Auto-Skew differential cable conditioning system automates skew adjustment and a new Fine-Tune mode is also available for excessive cable loss. 11.G61
