Modular camera gets an upgrade
Pure class: The modular 2D/3D sinaCAM by PURE4C
PURE4C By Monica Heck
PURE4C is presenting updates to its 2D/3D sinaCAM. The
company describes the sinaCAM as an outstanding modular camera with an excellent image quality and a huge field of application. Running a 2/3-in CCD single chip sensor, the sinaCAM offers a dynamic range of 13 F-Stops, a true global shutter, pixel synchronous 3D images, 4:2:2 10-bit HD-SDI video signal up to 60 fps. It has been updated with Sony RCP 750 and 1500 support, 1080p and downscale to 720p.
The sinaCAM was used as a 3D close-up camera last year on the 3D presentation video of the BMW S1000 RR motorbike. 9.A55
Viewer Dolby 5.1 compliant Dimetis
By Ian McMurray
Boss Stream Viewer, a software-based
multiviewer for monitoring and analysis of video streams from Dimetis, has been extended to deliver what the company says are crucial additional functions, namely the processing of multi- channel audio in line with the requirements of Dolby Digital 5.1.
The display of six audio channels in total can happen as a down mix; the customer defines the down mix mode in advance (LTRT or LoRo), which will be created in the Web-GUI. To guarantee quality standards, the intelligent software decodes, analyses and controls the audio files not only during the production process, but also at its return, to deliver a proper fault analysis. 4.B77
Sunday 09.09.2012 85 The right attitude to design
Products need to be agile in design if they are to fit today’s workflows, argues Christian Dutilleux, CEO,
Deltacast.TV
Convergence between broadcast TV and IT is a major technological trend that goes on growing. To give some examples, today most broadcast applications rely on embedded computers and IT networks are commonly used in the TV broadcast industry because they provide more flexibility and more connectivity for a lower cost. Formats standards go on evolving (HD, 3G, 4K…), increasing the diversity and the performances for products, while targeting lower cost for use. New workflows appear, which are more and more specific, but have to be integrated in a global vision. Solution designers have to
present products in line with those new workflows, which requires a lot of agility: they have to cope with the growing number of formats, to take profit from the convergence with IT, to address new formats and standards coming from IT (HDMI, Thunderbolt…). Their challenge is to build new components and solutions that will be used in various ways, in order to be integrated in very different workflows. Moreover, in such moving environments, time-to-market is more important than ever. And, last but not least, compatibility issues still stay a key issue,
Christian Dutilleux:
‘Time-to-market is more important than ever’
Opinion
because the market is not following the technological evolutions at a uniform speed. So solutions have to be more and more complex and will be applied to various needs and use cases. One important point is that, in this changing world, TV broadcast applications and products have to respect key traditional issues that are specific to it: reliability, monitoring, quality of service have never to be neglected. For OEM companies, the challenge is very important, but all this also means that there are a lot of opportunities: a good
understanding of new market requirements, in terms of performance, functionality and workflow is mandatory, as well as to be at the edge of technology.
The right attitude to have today is no more to design full in-house products and solutions but rather to rely on a network of technological partners, mastering specific elements perfectly and having a significant experience in the TV broadcast market.
Most of those partners have a booth at IBC, which is thus the best place for opening our minds and finding a set of key components that will take part in the building of new exciting products for the TV broadcast market. 10D10
ViaLive XL on show Not just a video uplink encoder Anevia By Ian McMurray
Housed in a 4RU casing, the ViaLive XL IPTV Streamer, which can accommodate up to 40 card- form sized modules, is being
showcased by Anevia. Anevia
offers different
types of DVB gateway modules for the unit, including DVB-S2 for satellite feeds, DVB-T for digital terrestrial channels, and DVB- C for cable television inputs. In addition, the ViaLive XL also supports DVB-CI modules for use with major third party CAS/DRM systems for descrambling pay TV content.
Your flexible friend: ViaLive XL
ViaLive XL is designed to be fully scalable and flexible to meet the system growth requirements of IPTV operators. As each input module includes two DVB tuners or 80 in total, a single ViaLive XL unit can support up to 400 channels from muxed input frequencies. Greater
levels of scalability and system redundancy can be reached by combining several ViaLive XL units along with software-based ViaLive solutions including ViaLive Server Gateway, ViaLive Sniffer for optimising QoS, and ViaManager Monitor for system-wide management. 4.B66
Prodys By Ian McMurray
Ikusnet is not just a backpack video uplink encoder, according to its manufacturer. Exhibitor Prodys says that it is a highly versatile HD/SD MPEG4 AVC/H.264 bidirectional portable IP video and audio codec allowing live broadcast from anywhere, at any time. It supports ad-hoc bandwidth aggregation of up to 10 links (3G/4G/Dual-Ethernet) with a statistical realtime load- balancing algorithm that assures best possible network utilisation, reducing jitter, latency and packet losses.
Ikusnet has two FastEthernet ports that either allows control and video streaming to be separated or to aggregate both lines to increase the bandwidth available for transmission. It is
Any time, anywhere
also possible to include the bonded 3G/4G connections with hardwired Ethernet connections giving 10 links for ultimate resiliency and bandwidth. With two monitor screens, Ikusnet allows the user to monitor the switchable video inputs, the video feedback (cue
programme from studio) and the quality of locally encoded video. This is, according to Prodys, not the only thing that makes Ikusnet unique; it also supports a separate bidirectional audio talkback channel as a coordination line to the studio and an ASI interface for satellite communications. 1.A74
