TVBEurope 47 IBC2014 Sneak Preview Matrox
Crestron controls streaming and recording tools
By Carolyn Giardina
THE MONARCH HD streaming and recording appliances and VS4Recorder multi-camera recording systems integrated with Crestron controllers will be showcased by Matrox Video during IBC.
Crestron program mers can use the Matrox Monarch HD Control API or the VS4Recorder API to interface Matrox products with Crestron 2-Series and 3-Series room media controllers. Operators can then start and stop streaming and recording from within the Crestron interfaces.
“Crestron integration is one of the top user-requested features for our streaming and recording products,” said Daniel Maloney,
Regal display: the Monarch HD Creston panel interface
technical marketing manager, Matrox Video. “Our APIs let AV integrators eliminate the need for additional control surfaces in venues such as lecture halls, offi ce buildings, museums, hotels and convention centres.”
Matrox Monarch HD is an H.264 encoder designed to allow producers to simultaneously
stream a live event and record a mastering-quality version for post event editing. From an HDMI input source, Matrox Monarch HD generates an H.264-encoded stream compliant with RTSP or RTMP protocol. While encoding the video at bitrates suitable for live streaming, Monarch HD simultaneously records a high-quality MP4 or
MOV fi le to an SD card, a USB drive, or a network-mapped drive. The VS4Recorder comes with Matrox VS4 quad HD capture cards. It gives live event producers synchronised control over capture of the four inputs connected to the VS4 to create MOV, MP4, or AVI fi les for use with select editing apps for immediate upload to the internet or for archiving. 7.B29
On the air: IBC TV is depending on FORscene to provide its self-service
syndication workfl ow Forbidden Technologies Updates in place for IBC TV By Michael Burns
POSITIVE USER feedback has helped enhance the FORscene post production system behind IBC TV, and delivered a raft of improvements to users of the cloud-based platform. The offi cial broadcaster for IBC2014, IBC TVwill again use FORscene to provide its self service syndicated workfl ow. A FORscene server based at the RAI conference centre will compress and upload material shot by IBC TV teams during the exhibition.
Participating broadcasters and IBC exhibitors can access library content, including rushes and daily programme footage. New this year is
24-hour coverage available year- round to subscribers.
IBC will also use FORscene to prepare content for the IBC2014 Awards for the fi rst time. Forbidden Technologies is also introducing a high-res codec for the system, to enable dynamic display of high or low res proxies. Users can also now move original source material from one FORscene box to another and take advantage of a new MAM system.
Forbidden is also releasing iOS and Android FORscene apps and providing new documentation for supported camera and ingest formats. 8.B38e
