Good vibe: The ViBE VS7000 multiscreen and HEVC encoder powers UHD playout
Goldenear seeks out coverage gaps Flavours of video delivery
Thomson Video Networks
By Monica Heck
A UHD playout solution powered by HEVC compression is on display at the Thomson Video Networks stand.
The company says major global satellite providers have already deployed this playout system, powered by the ViBE VS7000 HEVC encoder and the Sapphire MPEG stream server, to provide UHDTV images at up to 60fps and in 10-bit colour. Also on display is premium HEVC UHD content protection using watermarking technology as mandated by the MovieLabs consortium. The company’s DVB-T2 technology, which enables a comprehensive channel lineup even within bandwidth- constrained terrestrial
networks with support for HEVC, is also on show. Thomson Video Networks is also showcasing a broadcast solution for multiplex generation, regionalisation and distribution, as well as the company’s newest terrestrial offering offering support for broadband services in hybrid HbbTV 1.5 headends. A new cloud-friendly platform for clean
transmissions over the internet as well as in ground-to-ground contribution can also be seen, as well as a demonstration of improved HEVC video quality in live operation with MPEG- Dash and HbbTV using the ViBE VS7000 video system. At the show, the company is also unveiling its new strategy to deliver both premium and high-density multi-channel content in a single architecture combining cloud, virtual and in-house resources. 14.A10
WorldCast Systems By Michael Burns
The Audemat FM MC5 test & measurement platform has had its European launch at IBC. The 5kg FM MC5 offers both mobile RF coverage measurement and extensive modulation analysis; WorldCast described it as essentially a complete laboratory-grade test platform in a highly portable box. The FM MC5 was designed to measure the performance of RF broadcasts in the field or at the transmitter site, as well helping those developing, producing and testing products for the FM market. It offers RF scanning, mobile RF analysis and RDS Decoding, MPX/Audio analysis, signal generation (RF MPX and audio) and a multitude of
other test and analysis capabilities (frequency meter, distortion meter, spectrum analyser and oscilloscope). With its dedicated antenna,
the Audemat FM MC5 is suited to in-car use during drive tests to check FM station coverage and occupation of the FM band across a wide coverage area. Highly accurate RF and RDS measurements are linked to a GPS location and can be presented in a highly detailed display featuring map-based representations of signal strength as well as in-depth graphs and data. WorldCast has announced at IBC that the FM MC5 can also be supplied with Goldenear software which
enables in-
depth analysis of the FM signal quality reception gathered through a mobile measurement campaign. Goldenear provides a detailed and graphical display of RF coverage data and combines this with accurate modulation analysis to provide a comprehensive map-based overview of reception quality. The company said this data
can reveal black spots or weaknesses in the coverage which were not forecast. It can also be used to provide an independent analysis of a station’s strength to impress existing or potential advertisers, or financial backers. The unit’s configuration
wizards and usability have also been upgraded. 8.B60
