theibcdaily Software encoder for OS X Mobile Viewpoint By Monica Heck
A new software-only solution for laptops and desktops was recently added to Mobile Viewpoint’s encoder family. This allows its bonding technology to be used on any computer. All available network
connections on the computer can be used for bonding, while ingesting live video is handled by BlackMagic Design Thunderbolt capture devices. The company predicts that of the major use cases will be the use of portable BGAN and KA-sat terminals for live transmissions in remote
locations
It can be monitored from the WMT VideoManager and routed to one or more HD SDI Playout devices for total flexibility and footage exchange options. It is available as of August for Mac OSX 10.9 and higher. A Windows version will be available later this year. Earlier in the year, Mobile Viewpoint added a HLS web encoder to its product portfolio which outputs streaming video compatible with any device, mobile or desktop. Support for H.265 (HVEC) and VP-9 video codecs was also integrated into the company’s new WMT Expert- 265 backpack encoder. 14.F21
Improving interoperability between
By Ian McMurray Remote control: The new encoder delivers high video quality in remote locations Breaking Bad tops UK streaming GfK By Monica Heck
New research from GfK has revealed consumption data at a title level for programmes viewed on SVoD services in the US and UK.
In the UK, Breaking Badis clear winner for the most streamed programme during the 13 week survey period, with Dexterand Prison Break taking second and third places, followed by Netflix’s original commission House of Cardscoming in fourth. In the US, the top places were more
closely fought, with House of Cardscoming in just ahead of Breaking Badand Dexter taking third place. The top five reasons for subscribing are the same in both markets. In contrast to pay TV services, it’s access to large libraries of content, coupled with the ability to
watch at any time and to watch multiple episodes at one sitting that is driving sign- up. The GfK SVoD Content Consumption study shows how these services have moved from niche to mainstream, appealing to young adults in particular. 14.F37
Performing at IBC: Immersive video
Brightcove By Ian McMurray
Designed, says the company, to serve the needs of the world’s leading video publishers, Brightcove is launching Perform at IBC. The new product is said to offer a robust set of management
APIs and performance optimisation services that enable rich, immersive video experiences. Perform, says the company, combines the speed of the Brightcove player with the Perform player management system to create the fastest player on the market today. Among Perform’s key
features are the consistent
experience it is said to offer across desktop and mobile, and its social sharing and integration. Precompiled plugins, skinned assets and thumbnails to minimise download size, optimisation to reduce network traffic and the ability to deploy changes to thousands of player embeds with batch publishing for increased time-to-market are
said to make Perform very fast. Perform enjoys a robust ecosystem of plugins and integrations, with management APIs to easily control player configurations. It is said to be easily
integrated with CMS systems and to be easily customisable with CSS and JavaScript APIs. 5.B20
Following the release of three new products designed to improve interoperability between media devices, Digital TV Labs believes this year’s IBC event is set to be its most exciting to date. The company is featuring demos of all three products which provide media delivery solutions for DVB.
This year has seen a number of trials of HEVC and UHDTV by broadcasters across numerous territories, and device manufacturers and operators need to ensure that consumers have the best experience and their receivers are interoperable with these new formats. Digital TV Labs has
launched its HEVC Test Suite to enable TV, STB and SoC manufacturers to develop HEVC devices or devices which conform to the UHD Phase 1 specifications recently announced by the DVB. The test suite contains HD and 4KUHD HEVC content with E-AC-3 and HE-AAC audio as well as a set of interoperability test streams. The Digital TV Labs HEVC for DVB test suite is claimed to be the ideal testing tool for manufacturers who are investigating or using HEVC or UHD format with the aim of gaining maximum market share. 5.A01
