Aimed at live events production, version 2.0 of Tightrope Media Systems’ Zeplay instant replay server is
being demoed at EMEA Gateway’s IBC stand. Zeplay is a four-in, four-out instant replay system that continuously records four 100Mbps HD-SDI streams while simultaneously playing out any or all of the
streams. The new 2.0 release incorporates additional features such as a built-in highlight editor with push/skip capabilities, an external file import with Final Cut Pro and Avid round-trip support, cross-faded
switching on both sequence and replays, and built-in clip editing with match frame and multi-angle editing tools. Clip import was added in Zeplay 2.0 to enable sponsor promos and existing player highlights to be incorporated

Prompter, the latest addition to never.no’s social TV product line and aimed at taking social media directly to on-air talent, is making its IBC debut this week. Prompter is an app designed to give presenters, anchors, hosts, or anyone else who works on-camera the ability to use social media and interactive content on the job. An option to never.no’s Interactivity Suite, it enables on-air talent to view realtime social media comments from viewers and fans and incorporate their input into programmes. Incoming comments are pushed directly into Prompter on a presenter’s iPad. Because Prompter is powered by IS, feeds and comments are filtered (automatically or manually) so that appropriate content makes it to the presenter. Also at IBC, never.no is showing its ‘Synchronised Companion app Framework,’ a key IS component that can push/pull information or media relevant to realtime TV broadcasts to and from a second screen. 7.A06
