On a roll: Granderath demonstrates the new ProSup Tango Roller
4K and IP for production is a new reality Cinegy
By Carolyn Giardina
4K production completely in software, using IP end-to-end (apart from the camera for now) is reality today and the only flexible and affordable way to do it, contends Cinegy. The company also projects that small, mobile production setups will ultimately be just powerful laptops.
Tango Roller puts brakes on
ProSup/CaSu By David Fox
At IBC last year ProSup showed the prototype of the Tango Roller, a camera slider/track system that runs on rubber rolls, unlike most sliders that use ball bearings that make a system noisy and slightly rough to move. The rolls also allow the Tango track to be extended to whatever length is needed, as you don’t feel any transition at track joints. ProSup has now added
two brakes to safely stop the unit on a slope, something many of the first customers
(such as German TV stations WDR and NDR) have requested. Also new are magnetic end stops, “another unique feature of this dolly alternate,” claimed Florian Granderath of distributor Camera Support Granderath. “The Tango can also be operated upside down in an underslung mode with a specially developed underslung bracket.” The Tango is available as a
Pelicase Kit including two tracks of 1.2m and 1m, two Manfrotto monopods for end support when operating off a single tripod, sleepers and other useful accessories. 11.E73
At its IBC stand, Cinegy is demonstrating its vision with production systems for 4K based on video over IP using ordinary Gigabit Ethernet. The live camera signals are converted using Cinegy Encode from HDMI or 4x 3G SDI to IP and then transmitted via LAN to Cinegy Live, Cinegy's 4K software based vision mixer. The 4K IP signals can at the same time be recorded by Cinegy Capture to formats such as XAVC and multiple lower-res proxy formats (for instance XDCAM HD422, DNxHD, and various H.264 web formats) in realtime. The 4K IP signals as well as all other IP signals can be monitored using Cinegy's Multiviewer software-based monitoring product that also analyses the content and alerts in case of problems.
The new Cinegy Air playout
software can play pre-recorded 4K files or pass thru live streams with channel branding added to it. Cinegy Air itself can deliver 4K, HD and SD IP streams simultaneously as outputs. To round it up, this is running inside virtual machines on Cinegy's Private Cloud in its small IBC booth server rack. 7.A41
Peak practise: The DBUH200 accommodates 1+1 redundancy switching in 1RU of 19” rack
Block frequency converter announced
Peak Communications By Ian McMurray
A new, modular block frequency converter platform designed to accept any mix of two frequency converter modules and able to accommodate 1+1 redundancy switching in only 1RU of 19-in rack mounted space has been announced by Peak Communications. The DBUH200 features up
and down converter modules covering C, X, Ku, DBS & Ka-Bands that can be inserted/ replaced in the unit from the rear without the need to remove power or disturb the other channel, which Peak says provides flexibility in use and the ultimate in system maintainability. The design avoids the use of card-guide push type RF interconnects associated with front loaded modular systems that the company claims can suffer from performance degradation with repeated mating cycles over time and
under harsh conditions. The DBUH200 chassis units are mains powered with redundant power supplies fitted as standard. According to Peak, these are constructed from high grade components to give the ultimate stability, ripple, spurious and phase noise performance. The DBUH200 unit is
available with optional integral 1+1 redundancy switching and control for use when two identical modules are used. Units are offered with a range of optional enhancements and Peak says that it is happy to customise the units to meet specific needs. Other features include a
10MHz external reference option fitted as standard, with automatic internal reference back-up; optional variable gain, 0-30dB in 0.1dB steps at L-Band; optional chassis mute control; and full alarm monitoring. 1.C33
