A new auto-tracking system for small studio applications has been created by Mark Roberts Motion Control for Nikon.
The system is similar to large-scale systems recently tested at such sports events as Sochi, Golf Masters, basketball and horse-racing, and is designed for tracking talent or objects in motion in smaller studio spaces using automated cameras. It is
suitable for integration with a number of wireless optical and radio tracking systems. The system is being demonstrated with Nikon’s D4S cameras, which recently won the EISA award for the European Professional D-SLR Camera 2014-2015, and operated through a Polycam autotracking system to track multiple focus points. The configuration has been used on location for motor sports to track cars traveling at speeds over 355kph and accelerating through tight corners, demanding ultra-fast response from the camera
Simplifying file-based workflow MOG Technologies
By Carolyn Giardina
The mxfSPEEDRAIL range of centralised ingest systems from MOG Technologies is designed to improve the production workflows of broadcasters and production companies. Featured at MOG’s IBC stand, the technology is already in use by clients including BBC, bTV, Canal+France, Euronews, JAPANET, Globosat. NBCSports, NDR, New Delhi Television, ORF, RedBullTV, ZDF, SVT and beIN Sports. mxfSPEEDRAIL is a Central System platform that controls all ingest processes in a single interface covering
transcoding, file conversion, playback, quality control and task archiving. MOG noted that this shifts workflows from
a systems-based to a task- driven approach, meaning a single operator can manage the ingest of multiple content feeds, including automated or manual recording, automatic switching, sub clipping creation, priority scheduling and metadata annotation, all in multiple ingest units. It also can be integrated with numerous popular broadcast technologies and formats.
The modular architecture enables the customer to purchase either a whole centralised system or individual components to suit their workflow. “With over 1000
installations worldwide, our constant aim is to improve our systems based on our customers’ requirements and to exceed their expectations,” said MOG CEO, Luis Miguel Sampaio. 7.K28
Tennis broadcast involves TITANic effort Ateme
By Ian McMurray
When Rafael Nadal defeated Novak Djokovic in the final of this year’s French Open tennis tournament, the match was broadcast live via satellite in Ultra High Definition using Ateme’s TITAN Any-to-Any carrier-grade video encoding/transcoding product. Ateme worked with France Télévisions, the French Tennis Federation (FFT) and Eutelsat to ensure that coverage of the tournament was uninterrupted. According to Ateme, the event demonstrated the company’s ability to ensure full
heads. It can also enable a single operator to automatically control the synchronous movement of numerous cameras and provide accurate tracking shots during live events. “The multiple camera
installations are easy to set up and control from a central location,” said Assaf Rawner, CEO of Mark Roberts Motion Control. “In F1, for example, there could be substantial savings just on freight costs, taking into account all the peripheral equipment needed to put an operator safely into the field. The broadcast unit also has the advantage of directly controlling and synchronising remote cameras from one place, all over a standard Ethernet

interoperability of UHD delivery over satellite, with TITAN Live receiving live video feed from the event’s UHD production via its 3G-SDI inputs, encoding with the HEVC codec and delivering a full single 4Kp50 stream below 30Mpbs. The feed was then uplinked on the Eutelsat EUT 5WA satellite. The tournament also
provided Ateme with the opportunity to capture content via LiveSphere, described as a 360° video broadcast solution for live entertainment, sporting events and television shows that provides an immersive experience for consumers on second screens. It will be available to in 2015. 1.D71
