All these are now paths for media delivery as well as communication. To make sense of all these new possibilities, IBC has created a dedicated area in the exhibition, the IBC Connected World in Hall 14.

This, says BHV Broadcast, is an alternative to batteries and is especially relevant for installing cameras or monitors where the supply of power is difficult or hazardous. Ghost also now provides optional HDMI monitoring of SD/HD/3G video feeds.
On show for the first time is Ghostrack. The rack-mounted version of Ghost offers four channels of Video Ghost in a 2RU case with integral power supply and front panel monitoring. It is claimed to be ideal for mounting in an OB and powering four remote monitors or cameras along the video cable. To broaden the application of BHV Broadcast’s broadcast-
