Speedier evolution required


SGT-Vivesta By Heather McLean


SGT-Vivesta has stated that broadcasters and media companies need to evolve faster to keep up with the changing requirements of this marketplace. IT-based technologies and multi platform broadcast and VoD services will continue to


grow at a fast pace, stated Thijs Vanderhallen, SGT Vivesta marketing manager. He said broadcasters and media companies need to respond faster to changing requirements. Vanderhallen commented:


“The broadcast and media industry is evolving from a niche market dealing with broadcast specific technologies towards an IT


The AB-HDRF system is a collaboration between Anton/Bauer and Vitec Group sister company Integrated Microwave Technologies. The system includes the 600g AB- HDTX transmitter and 1.1kg AB-HDRX dual-diversity receiver. It can also be used with IMT’s DirectVu 9.1-inch handheld confidence monitor/receiver. Initial users find the


transmitter “is compact, fits on the end of their camera and can


industry dealing with common technologies, such as web services API compared to RS- 422 VTR control. In addition, the complexity has grown significantly with the introduction of multiplatform broadcast and on-demand services resulting in an increase in manual effort and risk. Simplifying complexity and reducing operational cost is top priority amongst many broadcasters and media companies.”


He added: “The need for


be powered with their existing Anton/Bauer batteries, without adding much extra weight,” said Shin Minowa, Anton/Bauer’s VP of marketing and business development. As it only draws about 15 watts, Anton/Bauer batteries, including the Dionic 90, HC and HCX, can be used with it to offer reliable power for extended periods of time. The system has an RF output of 100mW and is capable of accepting a wide range of HD/SD video formats along with


multiplatform rights management is increasing and we see this as an essential element in multiplatform content delivery. With the introduction of multiplatform video on demand services, the amount of contract and rights metadata to keep track of is often outstripping the capabilities of existing traditional broadcast systems.” Vanderhallen said that many broadcasters are using Excel


embedded audio from the HD- SDI output on the camera. The use of MPEG-4 compression allows the signal to travel about 800m in line-of-site


applications, and it has a choice of 12 different channels. “This also allows multiple


different cameras to transmit to one central receive site,” added Minowa. “In this application, a director can conveniently monitor different shots and make adjustments in realtime.” 11.E55


for managing their contracts and rights metadata, however in the end he claimed that Excel becomes a bottleneck itself as it requires extensive manual operation. “With constantly changing metadata the risk of mistakes and scheduling the wrong content when using Excel is very high. In addition, the lack of visibility on available rights can result in under or over exploitation of rights and thus in loss of revenue or breaching contracts.” 2.A46
