TVBEurope 13 News & Analysis Flicker-free ultra slow motion By David Fox
THE NEW I-Movix d-flicker automatic de-flickering system promises to deliver flicker-free ultra slow motion shots in realtime, without any of the flickering problems typically encountered by high-speed camera users in almost any situation lit by artificial lighting. It is designed for use with
I-Movix SprintCam Vvs HD and X10/X10+ systems and is
“the first and only fast processing automatic de-flickering solution,” claimed company CEO Laurent Renard. “After many years of hard work in R&D, the result is a world-first: an efficient and simple to operate automated de-flickering solution for live broadcast. For use exclusively with the I-Movix camera systems, this major technological advance meets the most demanding requirements of live sports broadcasting.”
The X10 and X10+ realtime
Slicker with no flicker: Anti-Movix SprintCam Vvs HD being readied for use by China’s CCTV
continuous ultra-motion systems were developed with EVS. The X10 delivers continuous access to instant replays at up to 10 times the normal frame rate, while the X10+ system also adds an extreme slow motion mode at up to 2,600fps in 1080i50 or up to 5,600fps in 720p60 (100 times slower than live action) with instant replay.

Threefold boost for cool box SMPTE to receive Tech Emmy By Michael Burns
SNELL IS showcasing three new configurations to its ICE Channel- in-a-Box system. Now available as a standard 2U system, the core ICE product requires a third less space than the previous hardware platform. However Snell said no functionality would be sacrificed, stating instead that the new box offers twice the previously available 2D or 3D graphics capability. ICE is now shipping with v4.0
of the software, offering new features such as Nielsen audience tracking capabilities, a Variplay feature option for speeding up noncritical material to compress time and make space for more essential playout, as well as integrated loudness control.
ICE LE is a new 1U version of
ICE that provides the advanced functionality of the Version 4.0 software in a smaller, more cost-effective footprint and with a streamlined featureset — making it ideal for smaller operations or simple video server technology refresh projects. Snell is also introducing ICE SAN, in partnership with Quantum. This provides large-scale shared content storage to give multiple ICE units instant access to media. ICE SAN is available in two versions: an enterprise model that offers premium levels of storage centralisation and resilience, and a lower-cost option that provides high performance for smaller operations.

THE SOCIETY of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) is set to be presented with an Emmy Award for Technology and Engineering for 2013 by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. The honour is being conferred in recognition of the society’s work on development, standardisation, and productisation of the High- Definition Serial Digital Interface (HD-SDI) standard. “For an organisation such
as ours, the Emmy Award for Technology and Engineering is not only a tremendous honour, but also confirmation that we’re successfully carrying out our mission as the leading technical
society for the motion-imaging industry,” said SMPTE executive director Barbara Lange. “We’re very proud of the work our members have done in advancing the HD-SDI standard, as well as the value that the standard itself brings to the field.” This Technology and Engineering Emmy Award recognises the work behind the SMPTE 292 standard for high definition digital video transmission. The SMPTE 292 standard is the foundation for the family of serial digital interface (SDI) standards for transmitting uncompressed HD video signals. The SMPTE 292 standard
has proven to be robust and versatile, and a large number of additional standards have been created based on SMPTE’s
original work. The derivative standards address higher data- rate versions and the use of multiple interfaces for advanced applications such as D-Cinema connectivity. These derivative standards have also provided for packaging and identification of many additional signal types, making the HD-SDI standard the workhorse of high-speed synchronous communication. The HD-SDI interface standard is one of more than 650 engineering documents that have been published by SMPTE. The Technology and Engineering Emmy Awards will be presented 9 January, 2014, in conjunction with the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
