Modular solutions for TV Everywhere
Xstream By Monica Heck
OTT and TV Everywhere demonstrations at the Xtream stand include the Xstream MediaMaker modular based architecture, which allows customers to apply the modules they need into their existing in-house solution or other third party solution or to simply use the entire end-to- end solution to create a complete ‘Netflix-like’ solution. An in-built shop and payment module e-commerce solution is also on show, with a suite of tools for building, customising and managing business models on all platforms. Key features include the ability to manage payment options such as credit card, billing or SMS payment, the creation, the management of product and pricing models,
TVoD, SVoD, PPV Live or AVoD, of gift vouchers and the handling of DRM, including Google Widevine, Conax Contego, Adobe Pass and MS PlayReady DRM.
A cloud-based and fully customisable ingest module is also on show, addressing demands for a cost-efficient solution that simplifies and accelerates the process of dealing with large volumes of video content and metadata from multiple content providers. Xstream’s domain module, which enables customers to scale their solution by leveraging the power of metadata, is also visible alongside the company’s device management module. This module empowers VOD solutions with a set of rules to protect and control access to media streams from a variety of devices over an intuitive user interface. 14.F15
Free version of Catapult Server
XDT By Carolyn Giardina
The latest version of XDT’s flagship Catapult technology is at IBC. Customers can sign up for a free version of Catapult Server, which includes unlimited Slingshot clients and a 50Mbit bandwidth limit. “We are excited to announce a
free version of Catapult Server,” said CEO Erik Otto. “Users that would not usually have the budget to invest in proprietary transfer applications or who resort to FTP- based systems will now have access to our leading edge technology to meet their high- speed data transfer needs.” Catapult is designed as a fast and secure software-based data transfer application that works over any existing WAN and LAN network. Using any standard network interconnect, Catapult Server is designed to deliver the same local throughput performance of storage arrays between LAN or WAN connected systems. 7.J07
Lens mounts go with the grain Wooden Camera
By David Fox
Users of the Blackmagic Production Camera 4K can have it modified to add an interchangeable mount that includes a PL mount, plus a wooden faceplate, by Wooden Camera. The interchangeable mount is compatible with Red Epic/Scarlet lens mounts that, by use of adapters, allow users to mount PL, Nikon, Canon, Leica, and BNCR lenses. Wooden Camera is also planning to introduce its own line of lens mounts.
The modification includes a wooden faceplate with working wooden record button, although the original rubber faceplate can be reinstalled on request. It is also possible to get the interchangeable mount without the PL mount. For micro four thirds Blackmagic cameras, or any other MFT camera, there are also two MFT to PL Adapters. The Pro (Pocket) is a shimmable version that can be adjusted if
the camera is out of calibration, and comes with a set of colour coded shims of various thickness. MFT to PL Adapter (Pocket) version doesn't come with shims. The Adapter includes a foot for attaching to a tripod or Pocket cage directly eliminating strain on the camera. Two versions of the adapter for Panasonic’s GH3/GH4 cameras include a foot for attaching to the camera base directly, eliminating strain on the MFT mount – this foot can be removed for use with other MFT cameras. There is also an E- Mount to PL Adapter Pro for the Sony A7s, again with removable foot for use with other Sony E- mount cameras. 11.E71
