WTS Broadcast Systems
By David Fox
Video Europe’s newest OB vehicle, a 16-camera, double expander was built by WTS Broadcast Systems, which is showing a similar truck, just completed for Supersport, Nigeria, in the Outside Exhibit area.
The Mercedes Benz Axor truck for Video Europe has Sony HDC-2500 cameras, EVS XT3 slow-motion systems, Sony MVS-7000X vision mixer and OLED monitors, a 3G Miranda NVISION 8500 Series hybrid router, Miranda 3G digital glue, Calrec Omega digital audio console, Kaleido modular multiviewer, and Tektronix waveform vectorscopes. WTS delivered an 18-tonne support vehicle at the same time. “The new truck has enabled us to meet our clients’ needs

and to win the jobs – before we didn’t have a big enough vehicle for these kinds of production,” said Steve Green, managing director, Video Europe.
WTS is also building it a mid- size OB truck and recently completed a flypack, Video Europe’s second.
The 11-rack flypack supports 24 camera channels, two EVS, Grass Valley Karrera vision mixer, monitors by JVC, Marshall and NEC, Miranda multiviewer, distribution and NV-8000 series router, Trilogy timing, Harris measurement, Yamaha M7CL
audio mixer, Sennheiser radio microphones and in-ear monitoring, and Telex’s Adam M communications with Omneo IP. The other new HD OB unit will have 10 system cameras and four robotic/wireless cameras, two EVS and six VTs, Sony monitoring, Sony MVS-3000 vision mixer, Evertz timing, Miranda multiviewer and distribution, Snell video routing, Telex communications, and Tektronix measurement equipment. It is due for delivery in December.
The Supersport truck is a little less complicated than the big Video Europe OB. It doesn't have the hybrid router, but has a similar capability and is rigged for 14 system cameras and four robotic cameras.
WTS has now built more than 50 outside broadcast vehicles, as well as 50 post production suites, 33 studios and 11 MCR/TX facilities delivered over the last five years. OE114
New timecode and metadata hub Timecode Systems By Heather McLean
The next generation of timecode technology is, according to Timecode Systems, the :pulse, a compact, multi-functional timecode and metadata hub. The :pulse has been unveiled for the first time at IBC2014. Within :pulse’s compact and
robust aluminium case lies timecode and metadata technology offering a single box solution to streamlining production workflows. Users can operate :pulse to generate Timecode Buddy’s signature brand of accurate timecode and gunlock, said the company. It also provides the ability to sync with zero drift via a long- range robust RF transceiver, as well as use integrated Wi-Fi to share all of this information on the Timecode Buddy app, MovieSlate app and Adobe LiveLogger app.
The :pulse has a built in
Ethernet and Wi-Fi bridge plus a two-port Ethernet switch, so users can attach two network- enabled cameras to one unit (particularly relevant for 3D rigs). It has also been designed to support the latest camera protocols including LANC, USB and a serial

communications port. “The :pulse has initially been designed to be the perfect partner for an Arri Alexa,” said Paul Scurrell, managing director of Timecode Systems. “Used in conjunction with the MovieSlate iOS app with the
Arri Alexa plug-in, our newest Buddy gives users full wireless camera control and status monitoring, access to full metadata and lens motor control conveniently from an iPad.”

Raster house: Rasterisers and waveform monitors rock Tektronix’s stand at IBC2014
Waveform monitors meet key 4K needs
Tektronix By Heather McLean
Tektronix is showcasing its WFM8200 and WFM8300 waveform monitors and WVR8200 and WVR8300 rasterizers. Tektronix recently announced they can now be easily upgraded via software to support 4K and UHDTV1, eliminating the need for customers to purchase costly hardware replacements in order to shoot, prepare and deliver 4K/UHDTV1 programming. The WFM8200 and WFM8300 waveform monitors and WVR8200 and WVR8300 rasterizers can perform a broad range of 4K measurements including four tile displays of waveform,
picture, vector, gamut and eye diagram for YPbPr formats. These comprehensive measurement capabilities enable users to reduce the time to isolate, diagnose and remedy system issues and design faults. The software upgradeable
platform at the heart of each model uses a high performance architecture designed from the outset to support the throughput requirements of 4K content. Their combination of capabilities, features, performance and upgradeability make them ideal for meeting the 4K requirements of equipment manufacturers, post- production houses, broadcasters and other video service providers. 10.D41
