ADVERTISING GETS PERSONAL Flussonic
MONETISE BY ANNE MORRIS
Flussonic’s server side ad insertion (SSAI) technology is able to place ads by partial substitution of segments within the broadcast session. Within a single segment,
groups of pictures (GOPs) from
the stream can be replaced just in time with GOPs from the commercial. Therefore, a segment can contain multiple broadcast GOPs and multiple GOPs with advertisements. The URL of the segment with the ad will remain the same for all viewers of the stream. At the same time, it is possible to show different ads to different viewers from the same URL. Available for HLS and DASH,
67
the system allows a content provider to make unique ads targeted for each user or session without transcoding.
Flussonic claims this new way of embedding ads is the fi rst step towards improving the entire monetisation module through advertising. In the near future, it plans to implement SCTE ad insertion markers, as well as build a system for preparing commercials for the insertion.
ENDURO ENDURES IDX Technology
CREATE & PRODUCE BY DAVID FOX
The new Duo-CP line adds USB power delivery in/out to the Endura Duo battery range, offering up to 60W at 20v for fast low-cost charging and an ability to power a large range of equipment, such as a MacBook Pro.
Unique to IDX is the D-Tap advanced socket. It has a conventional DC out rated at 80W, but can also permit controlled charging from the IDX VL-DT1 (a small lightweight travel charger with battery protection via the third pin on the D-Tap advanced
socket). There is also a second D-Tap 80W DC output. Digital data gives an accurate level of battery capacity; externally on LEDs in steps of 10%, or (on compatible equipment) a display of remaining run time or capacity to 1% increments.
This data output can be switched to SB mode or IB mode to make it compatible with a wide range of broadcast cameras and equipment. There is also a V-Torch for fi nding items in the dark. The Duo-C98P offers typically 100Wh capacity and weighs 640g; the Duo-C150P gives 150Wh capacity and weighs 900g; while the Duo-C198P has 199Wh capacity and weighs 1090g.

LEICA-BASED DIRECTORS VIEWFINDER SYSTEM LAUNCHED CREATE & PRODUCE
Leitz (Ernst Leitz Wetzlar)
BY DAVID FOX The new Leitz Henri Directors Viewfi nder system is based around the Leica SL2 and SL2-S full-frame cameras, plus lens mounts for PL and LPL lenses, a lightweight rod support system for accessories, and a retractable, ergonomic handle reminiscent of a Beaulieu Super 16 camera. The Henri system can also be used for fi lming at resolutions up to 5K and includes a camera start/stop button on the handle, which swings away for quick mounting on a tripod or monopod.
At the heart of Henri is the Leica SL camera’s full frame sensor, offering 47MP in the SL2 and 24MP in the SL2-S.
This high resolution allows users to accurately evaluate lens performance and punch in for critical focus at the push of a button. The cameras’ EyeRes OLED EVF is a 5.76MP display with +2/-4 diopters, which is claimed to be “one of the clearest, brightest, most colour and contrast accurate electronic viewfi nders available”. Rainer Hercher, MD, Ernst Leitz
Wetzlar, said: “Today’s directors and cinematographers have more lens choices than ever
before. The Leitz Henri and the Leica SL2 and SL2-S cameras make it easy for professionals to choose the lens that best suits their needs, regardless of format or mount. PL or LPL, full frame or Super 35, Henri will show you what the camera sees without compromise so you can make the creative choice with confi dence.” The Leitz Henri system can be bundled with an SL2 or SL2-S camera, or without the camera for existing SL owners.
SCP 2100 UPDATED Sencore
MANAGE BY MICHAEL BURNS
The latest major feature release to the SCP 2100 internet delivery encoder includes MPEG2 encoding and transcoding, as well as SCTE 104 to SCTE 35 ad insertion conversion. With the addition of these two features, Sencore claims the SCP 2100 is “an extremely versatile edge device for acquiring, compressing and backhauling content across the internet”. The SCP 2100 allows operators to have a single solution for
acquiring and transporting their content over the open internet, regardless of codec, interface or streaming protocol.
Aimed at applications such as acquiring content from off-air broadcast feeds, sporting events and public service addresses, Sencore says there is support for nearly any physical input – including MPEG/IP, HDMI, SDI, ASI, QAM and 8VSB, along with support for both H.264 and MPEG2. Once the signal has been compressed, rate-shaped, transcoded or repackaged, it is transported as Zixi or SRT across the internet or as MPEG/IP with SMPTE 2022-1 forward error correction.
The SCP 2100 can both acquire and transport content over the open internet
