Conference call: The DMSTetrad digital wireless system offers licence-free secure audio
BBC S&PP selects DIVArchive and DIVAdirector
Wireless secure sound system makes debut
AKG Acoustics By Michael Burns
A license-free wireless system, offering uncompressed audio transmission, high RF performance and 128-bit AES standard encryption, is making its debut at IBC.
Harman’s AKG DMSTetrad digital
wireless microphone system features an integrated 4-channel mixer, and an antenna front mount kit. With 24bit, 48kHz audio coding, it provides uncompressed studio- quality transmission and a linear frequency response, for high vocal and instrumental performances. The DMSTetrad’s 128-bit AES
standard encryption prevents tapping of the audio signal, which makes it attractive for high-security conferences. The DMSTetrad system features the DSRTetrad Digital Stationary
Receiver, the DPTTetrad Digital Pocket Transmitter and the DHTTetrad Digital Handheld Transmitter, available with AKG’s patented D5 acoustics or as DHTTetrad P5 with standard dynamic capsule. Two sets are available, the
DMSTetrad Vocal Set including the DHTTetrad P5 and the DMSTetrad Performer Set including the DPTTetrad together with a C111 L earhook microphone and the MKG L instrument cable. AKG said the DMSTetrad can be
quickly assembled and ready to use. The DSRTetrad receiver can work with up to four channels of audio in parallel, which can be mixed down directly to its balanced XLR sum output. The dynamic frequency selection ensures that only the cleanest frequency bands are selected for the connection between receivers and transmitters automatically. 8.D60
OTT monitoring for Sky Agama Technologies By Ian McMurray
British Sky Broadcasting has extended its DTV monitoring solution deployment to also cover its OTT service playout, and turned to Agama Technologies and the company’s Agama Analyzer OTT Edge and Enterprise Server EX products. Sky has two OTT services: Sky Go, a TV Everywhere multiscreen offer for its DTH subscribers; and NOW TV, a standalone OTT streaming product targeting users from a completely new customer segment. To be able to
increase understanding and control of this service distribution, Sky wanted to ensure that its adaptive bitrate streaming services are always available with the right quality, thereby improving the end- user experience. “At Sky we are committed to offering our customers high-quality content and the best quality TV experience possible,” said Vlad Korotkov, senior design engineer, emerging technologies at Sky. “The Agama solution provides crucial insights to improve and ensure our OTT service delivery platform, which supports us in delivering a high-quality experience and service to our customers.” 4.A75

DIVA value: the DIVAdirector V5.2 organisation and clipboard Front Porch Digital By Carolyn Giardina
BBC Studios and Post Production's Digital Media Services business — the commercial subsidiary of the BBC that preserves, remasters, and manages content for clients — recently selected Front Porch Digital's DIVArchive content storage management system and DIVAdirector media asset management systems. These products will be used to provide long-term storage for clients' assets alongside existing services such as film and tape digitisation, digital image restoration, and Digital Production Partnership (DPP) delivery. "We are extending our existing services to provide reliable and secure off-site
backup,” said Kevin Shaw, lead technologist for the Digital Media Services business. “This provides our clients with a simple disaster recovery option, safeguarding their precious assets and eliminating the need to invest in their own expensive archives. In the case of larger customers that are looking to set up their own archives, we already offer a consulting service, and the addition of Front Porch Digital products broadens the scope of the advice and assistance we can offer them."
Said Rino Petricola, COO and general manager, at Front Porch: “It's gratifying that Front Porch Digital systems will play a role in this important effort by further enhancing the one-stop digitisation, transcoding, restoration, and secure archiving service the team already provides.” 7.D14
