theibcdaily Meeting an explosion of demand Compact 4K camera head Belden By Ian McMurray
Showing its full range of broadcast solutions at IBC 2014 is Belden. According to the company, a key example of its approach is the recently completed 45,000 square-metre Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium located in Al Ain in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, which has used Belden copper and fibre cables to achieve the highest signal integrity and the latest camera compatibility. The Belden cabling infrastructure
supports 85 screens, including an enormous 40 square meter stadium screen, a sophisticated audio system, dedicated media centre, press conference room, outside broadcast units and more than 30 camera locations for television broadcasting. Belden says that its broadcast solutions are developed to meet the professional broadcast industry‘s increased demand for high-definition products, and claims that its broadcast cables are the first choice of content providers who require flawless rich media content like HD or 3G video for their production and live streams.
The company goes on to note that the explosion of digital television, on-demand content and mobile devices has the broadcast industry investing in its infrastructure to meet increasing demand. Belden says that it is able to support this demand, helping broadcasters deliver solutions along with its Miranda Technologies and PPC brands. Belden provides production, distribution, networking infrastructure and connectivity systems for the television broadcast, cable, satellite and IPTV market sectors. 1.D11
IP infrastructure aims to enhance video switching Evertz
By Michael Burns
SDVN (Software Defined Video Networking) is being showcased at IBC, a new IP architecture to support uncompressed SD/HD, UltraHD 4K and 8K video. Developed around a 10Gb Ethernet core and offering a flexible format-agnostic
Opinion Adapt and evolve to remain relevant
IBC2014 will demonstrate our slingshot advance from baseband to file and stream-based innovation says Wohler Technologies CEO Carl Dempsey
Times continue to change for traditional broadcasters, including the customer base long served by Wohler, and chief among these changes is the fact that there are new and increasingly diverse ways to deliver content to a wider range of audiences. While diverse outlets and platforms for content delivery yield valuable new opportunities for broadcasters to monetise content in new ways, the rise of multiplatform distribution also makes it imperative that broadcasters have the means to differentiate their services through better quality and faster time-to-delivery.
In light of these business drivers, Wohler recognises the need to adapt both our approach to product
development and our evolving engagement with customers.

To remain relevant and competitive, we have re- focused our efforts to produce groundbreaking products not only for the baseband market that traditionally has been our wheelhouse, but also for products that operate in the stream and file domains. While these products must remain robust and be of outstanding quality, our customers also demand that they offer versatility, adaptability, and scalability — the very same requirements to which our customers’ businesses must adapt. Wohler products are becoming mission critical systems, rather than peripheral devices, and we have responded to this welcome shift by introducing greater agility across engineering, account management, and
support — the business areas that help to assure customers can take full advantage of our products and solutions in reaching their technical and business objectives. While in the past we have confined our teams and technology to 'silos' dedicated to specific solution areas or operational environments, we now have consolidated our unique product portfolio so that it may be better leveraged across a greater breadth of solutions. In this way, we can offer our customers products and platforms boasting even greater adaptability and scalability — and, consequently, better support as they address the changing demands of the broadcast business. Through all of these efforts, Wohler is progressively entering
new markets and attracting new customers with diverse applications. 'Yesterday’s Wohler’ simply would not have been mentioned in the same breath as the terms 'new markets' and 'diverse applications, but the products we’ll show at IBC2014 will demonstrate Wohler’s slingshot advance into provision of forward-looking monitoring and media processing solutions. IBC2014 is sure to feature an enormous array of solutions targeting the requirements of multiformat media delivery, and we are confident that solutions on the Wohler booth will impress. We look forward to highlighting the refined capabilities of our MPEG Series monitors, as well as the improved feature set, speed, and extensibility of our award- winning iON multi-platform
remote monitoring system. The flagship AMP2-E16V audio/video monitor, now available with an AVB option, is just one example of how we’ve combined our popular proven technologies with leading-edge capabilities to support our customers’ progress toward more flexible and efficient workflows. Likewise, the RadiantGrid-based WohlerGateway packaging and delivery solution and Cinnafilm Tachyon Wormhole automated file-based retiming solution demonstrate our commitment to providing smart, practical solutions for the pressing demands of an evolving media marketplace. 10.B10
infrastructure, SDVN represents an intelligent utilisation of extreme bandwidth switching, claimed the company. According to Evertz, the solution allows media organisations to harness the full potential of a 10GE /100GE IP-Ethernet network. Evertz' range of SDVN
products includes two new 10GE switch fabrics, new 570IPG IP media gateway
modules, the 3000REM top of rack video interface module, the VIP10G multi-image display processor and the DreamCatcher system, which offers 10GE enabled instant replay. SDVN is powered by
MAGNUM, the control system by Evertz, which enables operators to use familiar work surfaces while taking advantage of video over IP. 8.B40
IO Industries By David Fox
IO Industries’ new Flare 4KSDI compact 4K camera head has a Super 35 global shutter sensor and quad- link 3G/HD-SDI outputs. It can shoot up to 60p in both 4K (4096x2160) and UHD (3840x2160) with either 10- bit 4:2:2 or RAW output, or up to 30p with 4:4:4 RGB output.
It also has an
interchangeable lens mount system, taking PL-mount, Canon EF-mount and Nikon F-mount options, and all camera settings can be adjusted remotely with the same handheld remote control as IO’s existing 2KSDI camera or it can be used with third- party control panels. Multiple cameras can be synchronised together with a tri- level-sync reference, for live events or multi- camera systems. However, there’s no
recording inside the camera, which requires a separate
A Flare for 4K: The new 4KSDI camera can shoot 4K or Ultra HD
4K field recorder such an AJA Ki Pro Quad or Convergent Design Odyssey 7Q, but that means it is smaller (only 92x92x75mm) and weighs 600g without a lens, so that it can be used for tight PoV angles in race cars, inside small gimbals for helicopters (or drones) or in underwater housings. It also simplifies jib work, as it can be used with much lighter units, such as the Polecam. 11.D67
