Ultra HD platform looking thin Pace By Ian McMurray
Previewing a range of new hardware, software and services for payTV providers at this year’s IBC is Pace. A particular focus is the company’s new Ultra HD HEVC platform and network PVR/thin IP client solution which offers the ability to deliver pay-TV from the cloud.
As well as highlighting
multiple customer reference deployments (for example, Comcast, DirectTV and Sky New Zealand), Pace is demonstrating its Elements Whole-Home solution, delivering content and services across multiple devices and screens throughout the home. Also on show at IBC this year is Titanium’s Universal Rights Management system, a single platform for content protection and secure distribution. Pace’s ECO Service Management Systems,
which allows operators to remotely manage and monitor the subscriber’s quality of experience whilst minimising operating costs, is being shown in addition. “The broadcast industry is going through a massive change,” said Shane McCarthy, president of Pace International. “There has never been more choice for consumers and opportunities for operators with the ability to combine the best of the pay- TV world with the best of OTT.
“We offer solutions for everyone; whether they’re looking to launch their first broadcast service, enhance their existing proposition with solutions like PVR or OTT, or expand content and access to multiple devices. “Our aim is to free operators
from complex and proprietary solutions, giving them control over their services and their subscriber’s experience whilst minimising their total cost of ownership,” McCarthy added. 1.B19

New UHF intercom
Overline-Systems
By Paul Watson With more than three decades in the business of delivering technology-based products, and after the mobile telephony market ‘scattered confusion on the UHF spectrum’, Overline- Systems is ready to launch its answer: the new UHF broadband intercom system, which should alleviate any existing bandwidth concerns, the company says. According to the manufacturer, quality, reliability, flexibility and modularity are key to making its state-of-the- art intercom system something to talk about. Benefits include its simultaneous UHF broadcast/reception capability and ‘audio quality that meets broadcast recording criteria’, the company claims; in addition, users have control of all the parameters of communication in realtime thanks to a remote digital control system.
A 5-button keypad enables the user to access independently (GPI remote control) up to five main networks, and mobile assignment to the network is said to be easily modified. The unit has 22 broadcast
frequencies and 22 reception frequencies which are selectable over up to 20Mz (three UHF-TV channels) 8.E94
