Cloud-based automation to benefit TV news
Aveco
By Will Strauss
Broadcast automation specialist Aveco is highlighting its studio, news
production and master control offerings at IBC, including support for cloud-based automation.
“The ability to have an automation system that is not tied to physical locations provides media organisations with a great number of options to optimise their operations,” said Aveco managing director Pavel Potuzak (pictured). “It also facilitates growth and integrating the latest technology, as we support any combination of cloud, integrated, and rack solutions so as you upgrade your technology, you can move from a rack of equipment to integrated ‘in-a-box’ solutions, or to a cloud architecture over time.” Aveco cloud-based multichannel playout uses a client/server networked approach to allow for regional ad insertion, regional newscasts, central casting and other distributed models such as ingest and playout from different locations. Also at IBC is Aveco’s ASTRA, a system for TV news that combines Master Control and Production Control in a single tool, running on the same hardware and
connecting to both NRCS and traffic systems. Potuzak said: “We combine our PCR and MCR automation systems into one so that cues between both are automated and tighter, media management is smoother, the on-air look is better, you can do remote news production along with MCR
centralcasting, and handle both news and advertising. There is less hardware, less staff, and huge cost savings.” Aveco’s Redwood Studio News Studio-in-a-Box, which supports both local and cloud-based playout, is also on show. Designed for regional news bureaus, it can also be used in multi-studio complexes alongside traditionally equipped larger studios. 3.B67
theibcdaily 99 Visualisation in TV studios eyevis By Heather McLean
eyevis is presenting its ideas for demanding visualisation challenges for TV studios, direction rooms, post production and digital signage applications. Created specifically to fit the requirements of the broadcast sector are eyevis’ new 85 inch Ultra HD displays at 60Hz, SLIM-Cubes with a depth of only 455 mm, improved DLP- Cubes in the new EC-1004 series, high quality LED modules at 1.5mm, 2mm and 2.5mm pixel pitch, the latest generation of eyevis preview monitors, plus
its successful omniSHAPES. A key product is eyevis’ highest resolution, large surface representation for behind and in front of the camera; the new 85 inch 60Hz 3840x2160 Ultra HD- LC display. Specific to the requirements of TV studios, the Genlock-compatible display with an image frequency of 60Hz can be adjusted to conventional studio frequencies. Due to the high brightness level of 500cd/m² and one hundred percent NTSC, the display also offers some of the best image characteristics for digital signage applications in bright ambient light conditions.
Additionally the display, through an OPS-compatible slot
for an eyeProcessing-Unit (EPU), can be equipped with an EPU scaler. The scaler offers a 3G HD-SDI interface. Extended operational potential of the 85- inch display for broadcast and digital signage applications is added through an optional touch system on infrared basis. Also here at IBC eyevis is demonstrating the features of its new Slim rear projection cubes for professional usage in control rooms and TV studios. With a depth of only than 455mm, the new Slim-Cubes can be used in areas that were, due to space requirements, not suitable for rear projection cubes before.

X10 UHD slows advance of 4K I-Movix By David Fox
The new X10 UHD from I-Movix is claimed to be the industry’s most powerful 4K ultra slow motion system, and the first to support both continuous super slow motion and ultra slow motion at frame rates of up to 1000 frames per second. It combines the core of
I-Movix’s X10 ultra-motion technology (including standard EVS workflow) with Vision Research’s Phantom Flex4K camera, and supports operation in a range of modes to meet differing production requirements. It can be instantly re-configured for alternative 4K or HD shooting scenarios. It now has increased dynamic range, to improve its performance when lighting is poor, and supports higher
frame rates in SSM mode (continuous mode) of up to 120fps at 4Kp60. When operating in HD resolutions (1080p or 1080i) it can do up to 600fps in SSM mode, or up to 2,000fps in USM Live and Replay mode. It can also perform as a conventional live camera. It can also be specified in an RF version. IBC is the first European
showing for the 4K system, “which has had an amazing market response since its
Going live: The I-Movix X10 UHD system is based on the Phantom Flex4K camera
launch earlier this year. With its extraordinary specification X10 UHD easily outstrips the competition,” claimed I-Movix CEO, Laurent Renard. 11.E43
