THE STANDARD HDTV
Ultra-small wireless HD transmit
By Jake Young Cobham
RF SPECIALIST company Cobham will feature a preview of what is dubbed as one of the world’s smallest wireless HD camera transmitters at NAB 2013. The new ‘Solo Micro HD’ transmitter, a matchbox-size addition to Cobham’s ‘Solo’ range, provides all-important transmission stability for high-quality HD images using low-latency H.264 compression in conjunction with Cobham’s powerful UMVL (ultra mobile video link) modulation. With latency as low as 15ms, the Solo Micro HD enables wireless and wired cameras to perform as a unified
system to capture and transmit intimate details during events of any size.
Cobham is also launching a new HD MPEG-4 IP Encoder that can easily be connected to virtually any camera. Specifically engineered for broadcast apps, the encoder has balanced audio inputs and includes broadcast-standard IFB talkback within the unit. NAB will also mark the North American debut of MediaMesh, a lightweight, rapid set-up field newsroom that establishes a broadcast quality transmission path for live two-ways, remote camera control, high quality file transfer, plus a high-capacity internet connection.

Latest virtual studio and infrastructure products
By Jake Young Crystal Vision
SHOWING ITS new products for the virtual studio at NAB2013 is Crystal Vision, along with the US launch of its chroma keyer Safire 3, accompanied by a state- of-the-art touchscreen control panel.
The new Safire 3 realtime chroma keyer works with 3Gbps, HD and SD sources and is ideal for all live virtual productions from studio to sport. The enhanced chroma keying uses an extremely sophisticated algorithm to determine how the key is derived, giving excellent results with minimal sensitivity to camera noise. Safire 3 makes it easy to quickly set up a chroma key, using multi-point sampling to automatically get the best possible default settings, with the option of selecting one, five or 12 sample points on the backdrop to set the range of colours to key on, as well as up to four points on the foreground object to set areas where no chroma keying is required. The input can be frozen to make setup even easier.
An extensive range of fine-tuning tools are then available to optimise the picture in more challenging conditions. These include blacks, whites and greys
