MARKETPLACE /// FULL IP-BASED
BROADCAST WORKFLOW
In conjunction with Stagebox, and developed in part by BBC Research and Development, Adder Technology is transforming its NAB stand to demonstrate how IP technologies enhance each stage of the broadcast production chain. Live content captured in front of a green screen using cameras and Stagebox technology, will then be fed in to a virtual studio. The Stagebox transmitter sits on the back of the camera and sends the feed over IP to a receiver in the control room. Management of the virtual studio workflow takes place in the AdderLink Infinity environment, giving access for control to any allowed user on the network. The entire workflow, from ingest through to transmission, is completed over IP. Adder is also launching 4K capable KVM products at the show

DVB-S2 MODULATOR
At this year’s NAB Show, Work Microwave will show its DVB-S2 Broadcast Modulator and Video ACM System—products that optimize satellite bandwidth usage, signal quality and data transport while reducing operating expenses. The DVB-S2 Broadcast Modulator offers DVB-S2 multistream and other advanced features in a future-proof solution that supports DVB-S2 extensions. Carrier ID—which defines the modulation, channel coding, and signalling protocol for host carrier identification— allows operators to reduce or eliminate RF interference between satellite signals for higher quality service. The Video ACM System, an integrated data/video (DaVid) modem and encoding solution for enhanced video contribution, transports up to six MPEG transport streams and IP data in a DVB-S2 multistream, enabling simultaneous transport of data (network connection) and live broadcasting (video content) over a single satellite carrier.

AUTOMATED CARD CONTROL IP-BASED WORKFLOWS
At this year’s NAB, Miranda says it will unveil new products to help broadcasters navigate the path to IP-based workflows and improve routing and monitoring. For IP workflows, Miranda will show the IRG- 3401 IP Gateway, a high density, bidirectional DVB-ASI/IP gateway that facilitates multiple applications for broadcasters. The card, which fits in Miranda’s Densité 3 chassis, is the densest IP gateway available, handling up to 120 gateways in a single 3RU frame. For routing, Miranda will unveil NVISION 8500 IP Gateway cards that convert and packetize real-time, uncompressed, baseband video for Ethernet network distribution. Also new is the NVISION CR6464 compact 2RU router that combines extreme density with support for all core formats including triple rate 3Gbps/HD/SD/ASI, and AES. Miranda will also show a new version of its Kaleido-IP multiviewer, which extends monitoring support to 128 SD or 64 HD programs. Kaleido IP X310 features double the number of simultaneous audio and video decodes as the previous Kaleido IP X300 in a 1-RU unit. With 4 GigE ports, it’s ideal for high- performance applications such as high-bandwidth H.264 HD video streams.
