theibcdaily BOSS is the stand highlight Dimetis By Ian McMurray
Claiming to manage most of the public broadcast TV Germany, Austria and Switzerland on the distribution side with over two million streaming/IPTV subscribers, Dimetis is highlighting its BOSS Platform at IBC.
The Dimetis BOSS Platform consists of software modules that are claimed to provide optimum management, monitoring and control of the components that improve
business processes in a broadcast world, lowering OPEX and CAPEX. It is designed to enable broadcasters, broadcast carriers and media companies to configure, manage, monitor and maintain equipment, facilities and networks; create, deploy, manage and maintain the services on these networks; and provide the business information necessary to ensure customer delight.
For distribution, Dimetis offers BOSS STREAM Viewer, which simultaneously decodes and graphically displays multiple transport streams; BOSS
STREAM Recorder, an SPTS/MPTS transport stream recorder for conformance recording and extended analysis of recorded content; BOSS EPG Monitor, a live SI/PSI analyser with extended analysis and display of EIT data; BOSS BROADCAST Manager, which configures, controls and monitors devices within a broadcast facility; and BOSS EPG Generator, which the company describes as an extremely flexible and full- featured playout server for SI/PSI data with an intuitive user interface and plug-in support. 1.B30
Robotics head for heavy cameras Vinten Radamec By David Fox
A robotics fluid head for larger studio cameras, that can handle payloads up to 90kg, has been introduced by Vinten Radamec. The FH-200 is based on the design of the company’s successful FH-145, but with higher capacity, to cope with box lenses, prompters, talent monitors and large viewfinders. “The FH-200 was designed as
a direct result of customer feedback, who indicated they wanted the same high quality robotic performance for their heavier studio set ups,” said Karen Walker, robotics

All-in-one IPTV NetUP By Monica Heck
A new all-in-one IPTV server is making its debut at IBC on the NetUP stand. The server, called
Visual IPTV Combine, is designed for small hotels, ships and hospitals and can provide IPTV, EPG, VoD and other services for up to 50 users. The key feature of the device is the 12-in touchscreen, which enables a user to configure and
Additional features of the FH- 200 include a new mounting cradle that is now large enough to suit the wider studio cameras. Like the FH-145, the FH-200 can also be used in both manual and robotic modes. “We have created a different pan bar mounting arrangement [from the Vinten Vector range] on the FH-200 as the big box lenses require larger pan bar mounted zoom and focus demands,” she added. “The updated motion control parameters of the head ensure smoother movement and more accurate recall of shots even with those much heavier payloads.” 11.E55
deploy the IPTV solution in no time. The device can be mounted on a wall at a hotel reception.
TV channels can be grouped into mosaic grid view for monitoring, to help ensure 24/7 availability of the IPTV services. An easy switch to the administration interface is available, should it be required to add users, change TV channel settings and so on.
Speed dating: The new X10 modules can all be matched with the core X10 CCU
Modular X10 speeds ahead I-Movix By David Fox
A new range of modular variants of I-Movix’s X10 ultra slow motion system can now match any Vision Research Phantom camera and be tailored more easily to user’s needs. It will also be simpler to upgrade, whether to match evolving production requirements or new generations of cameras.
The completely re-designed system uses various modules based around the central X10 Camera Control Unit, and allows users optimise systems for different applications, including multiple high-speed cameras, or realtime continuous shooting with non-stop super slow motion. “This fundamental re-invention of the X10 product line makes it easier for ultra-motion to become a ubiquitous resource in broadcasting and other applications,” said I-Movix CEO, Laurent Renard. “There is now almost a bespoke answer for any set of requirements a customer may have, but whatever the chosen
Visual IPTV Combine is described as replacing several IPTV devices, including the DVB to IP gateway, VoD server, IPTV middleware and billing server. The TV channels are received from DVB sources: digital satellite (DVB-S/S2), terrestrial (DVB-T/T2) and cable (DVB- C/C2) signal can be received, decrypted and sent to users’ IP STBs via the IP network using multicast (UDP) or unicast (HLS).
configuration the solution will have all the advantages of the market-leading X10 core technology.”
Every modular system
requires the rack-mount X10 CCU, and configurations include: X10 USM, for very high framerate sports applications (up to 2600fps at 1080i, or 5600fps at 720p); X10 Spine, which sits below a Phantom camera and supports the same frame rates but adds operational flexibility for additional non-broadcast use; X10 SSM, for use as a conventional HD broadcast camera with the addition of continuously-recorded super slomo at 300fps (1080i) or 600fps (720p); and the X10 UHD, which works with the Phantom Flex4K and can do up to 500/600fps in HD or 100/120fps in 4K for live use, or can do up to 2,00fps in 1080i/1080p and up to 1,000fps in 4K for ultra slow motion applications. There are RF wireless versions of each module.
For multi-camera production
there is the X10 Multi, which can be used with three camera heads (six channels). 11.E43
The device automatically transcodes uploaded movies destined for the VoD service to the required format and saves to the internal SSD. Besides IPTV features, it also provides hospitality features such as welcome messages for guest check-in, messages from reception, an information page, check-out and billing features and so on. 14.J18
