42 Friday 13.09.13 theibcdaily Dialogue Search boosts archive Nexidia By Heather McLean
Nexidia is demonstrating Dialogue Search, a software tool that searches in seconds for any spoken word or phrase across massive media libraries. The patented technology behind Dialogue Search allows media organisations to make better use of their media libraries by quickly and precisely finding unique assets that searching traditional metadata could never reveal, says the developer.
Dialogue Search dramatically reduces logging and
transcription costs, integrates directly with media asset management and editing applications, and requires no training, Nexidia claims. Version v1.4 includes new
features such as an Adobe Premiere Pro extension, AAF Export, the Dialogue Search RESTful API to provide Nexidia search capabilities within any application, and a new proximity-based search for finding a word or phrase spoken within a certain number of seconds of another. Nexidia is also introducing Nexidia QC v2.0, an automated, file-based QC application that can automatically test critical components of media with

Cloud-based content access Broadcast Pix
By Carolyn Giardina Broadcast Pix is showing its latest version 3.5 software with cloud-based content access of its Flint integrated production system to its Mica and Granite systems.
The company is also showing Fluent Rapid CG 3 for creating CG graphics with automated database integration, and Fluent Rapid CG LT, a light version that can access RSS
and Twitter feeds. V3.5 enables any Broadcast Pix system to run the optional Fluent Rapid CG software and connect cloud-based content and data directly to on-air graphics. Fluent Rapid CG LT connects to Twitter and other cloud-based data sources. RSS, clock, and weather feeds can flow directly into on-air graphics, and Tweets can flow directly to air or be pre- screened with a built-in management system. Fluent Rapid CG 3 includes all the LT features plus dual-
channel connectivity to local and cloud-based content databases, news automation, and scoreboards. It also adds support for OES Scoreboard data and web-based XML databases.
Beyond automated graphics, V3.5 connects any system to cloud-based resources for access to animation, clips, and databases during live productions. Using Fluent Watch- Folders, Broadcast Pix’s built-in ingest and content management system, V3.5 allows access to files from Dropbox, Google Drive,

Microsoft SkyDrive Drive, or other cloud-based content resource. “Our version 3.5 software fulfills our promise to deliver integrated production systems that embrace the cloud,” said Steve Ellis, Broadcast Pix CEO. “Cloud-based content continues to become more important in the live production environment. Whether it’s a Skype video interview, a last- minute graphic from a designer across the country, or even Tweets, Broadcast Pix makes it easy to ingest and manage content – and then include that content on the air without lip sync or formatting issues.” 7.B21
Norwia is using IBC2013 as the venue for the European launch of new optical fibre distribution products as well as upgrades to its MiniHub platform.
The software inside RCONmini – a MiniHub frame controller card that is used as an independent configuration and monitoring tool – has been upgraded to include SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) functionality. This development has brought additional speed and reliability to Norwia’s AutoSFP, the technology behind MiniHub. The newest frame addition for Norwia is the MiniHub Passive, a 10-slot passive optical device frame. The high density of this frame allows for more involved optical systems that use splitters and filters for wider optical distribution during, for example, large sporting events.
Norwia chief technology
officer Lars Erik Eriksen said: “Norwia’s AutoSFP technology is beneficial to the end user by saving time and money while giving ultimate flexibility. These new releases strengthen the MiniHub as the most advanced next generation optical distribution system on the market today.” Meanwhile, Norwia has completed an optical fit out for the Friends Arena, a new 65,000-seater football stadium in Stockholm. The site makes use of the Minihub platform and includes 48 optical links connecting prime locations within the arena and back to a central point in the OB parking area as well as the Arena’s own 500sqm production area.
MiniHub is a 1RU frame that houses pluggable cards for optical video distribution. AutoSFP technology
improves the ability to change signal direction in a matter of minutes, without deconstructing an installed system, says the company. 9.C19
