MERGING TECHNOLOGIES ANEMAN

ANEMAN is a groundbreaking new technology for audio and broadcast allowing users to patch audio, remotely V ÌÀ `iÛ ViÃ > ` iÛi V w }ÕÀi iÌÜ À switches more easily than ever. ANEMAN isn’t limited to RAVENNA, Dante or AES67. If you write a plugin, then prodducts can be controlled and routed using ANEMAN. The basic costs for use and implementation are completely free. Most engineers patche network audio but it’s a tiresome task, fraught with incompatibilities. Setting up streams with RAVENNA is time-consuming. Dante ties you to a single programme with only one function, you still

need other software for device and switch V w }ÕÀ>Ì > ` i } iiÀÃ V ÃÌ> Ì Þ switch between apps and web pages. ANEMAN removes this complexity and offers a platform for further features. No other technology combines patching of >Õ` ] `iÛ ViÃ V ÌÀ > ` V w }ÕÀ>Ì v the network. ANEMAN is shipping now and was adopted by eight manufacturers in as many weeks after launch. More features are coming soon including pre-amp gain control, AES70 (OCA) support, infrastructure monitoring and improved security. ANEMAN software is free. Manufacturers

can also incorporate it into their own software, to save programme switching. An ANEMAN plugin makes your product visible and controllable, becoming part of the ecosystem. Archwave wrote theirs in only 15 days. ANEMAN has an enlightened development model. It will always be free for manufacturers and end-users. A paid enterprise version offers additional features and support to sustain the project. An increasing number of plugins expand ANEMAN’s scope. Development is ‘partially open’, ensuring that it is open but also agile to adapt to changing industry needs. www.merging.com

HANDMIC DIGITAL

Handheld microphones for iOS or Mac/PC use are still very rare, and the HANDMIC Digital has been designed to fill this gap. A professional tool delivering professional audio quality for mobile journalism, the HANDMIC Digital offers unique field usability. Like all benchmark reporter’s microphones, it works on the rugged dynamic principle, features an all-metal body and offers extremely low handling noise due to its shock-mounted capsule.

The HANDMIC Digital is insensitive to the EMI emitted by mobile phones, and its cardioid pick-up pattern ensures that the mic can cut easily through high ambient noise levels. The HANDMIC Digital features Apogee’s award-winning A/D converter and pre-amp technologies for direct connection to A-type USB or Lightning ports. A convenient status LED indicates when the microphone is streaming audio. Via Apogee’s MetaRecorder app,

for example, the user can conveniently control the microphone gain and activate functions such as a rumble reducer, overload eliminator or hiss reducer. The HANDMIC Digital microphone is supplied complete with two connection cables (2m, Micro USB to Lightning, and Micro USB to USB), a microphone clamp, solid table stand, pouch and quick guide –ready for field use, podcasts and voice-over. www.sennheiser.com

SONIFEX LTD

SONIFEX AVN-PXH12 2 X 12 CHANNEL MIXER MONITOR

Over the last year, Sonifex has been working with a major UK TV broadcaster to solve a problem that they and many other broadcasters are facing. With audio moving to the network infrastructure allowing hundreds of audio sources to be available, how do you easily monitor them in a product which is simple to use? With a thousand audio sources on their network, distributed through a large router/mixer, they wanted a device at each position in their main Production Gallery/Control Room to monitor multiple audio sources either individually or as a mix. Sonifex created the AVN-PXH12 at just 1U in size, which can monitor up to 24 audio feeds from the network.

Sources are mainly AES67 networked audio but there is also provision for a few local analogue inputs. The AVN-PXH12 solves the problem of how to check and monitor so many AoIP audio sources easily. It is a world first – it can simply and effectively simultaneously monitor and mix up to 24 AES67 AoIP sources in a compact 1U rack to a speaker/headphone combination quickly and intuitively. Features Full RAVENNA and AES67 compatibility and can be used in SMPTE ST2110 compatible projects. It can receive AES67 compliant Dante audio streams, when set up with SAP.Mute and solo button to

audition single or multiple channels. Instantaneous ‘Normal’ and ‘Alternate’ input switching (<1msec accuracy) for direct comparison. User benefits Extremely easy to use. Confidence display on each channel for ‘at-aglance’ monitoring. Headphone outputs, physical outputs and built in speaker with separate volume control. Summary Whilst the end-product is simple to use, it hides enormous complexity, giving users the ability to easily monitor networked audio signals. www.sonifex.co.uk

WORLDCAST SYSTEMS WORLDCAST MANAGER

WorldCast Manager is a unified NMS software solution designed specifically for the broadcast, satellite and telco industries. It provides a centralised web interface (also accessible from desktop and mobile devices) enabling the monitoring and management of broadcast networks of all sizes. This new generation of network monitoring can link a wide network of SNMP-enabled devices across multiple locations and provides the user with a clean, modern and integrated interface for control. WorldCast Manager has been designed to connect and communicate with any SNMP-connected device from any manufacturer. All units across the network are detected and automatically added to the monitoring pool thanks to the WorldCast Manager’s automated network discovery and autoconfiguration engine. Alarms (based on readings and/or specific events) are set based on the equipment drivers and can be customised at will to notify the appropriate users via email, SMS, voice call or in-application alerts. WorldCast Connect provides its entire library of drivers to customers as part of any deployment – and also offers a complimentary driver creation service with any valid support contract. The WorldCast Manager’s dashboard provides a centralised view (using maps,

floor plans or flow charts) of the status of the user’s entire operation from a single screen. The Dashboard also displays some high-level information about ongoing events and provide fast access to the entire equipment tree across all sites. In addition to showing real-time performance metrics, the WorldCast Manager also captures and stores

readings and events to provide the user with detailed historical data. The entire dataset can be mined using the timelinebased analytics module or the statistical reporting panel. Both provide interactive data visualisation features tailored to provide insights on events and facilitate operational support and decision-making at all levels of the organisation. www.worldcastconnect.com

AMINO COMMUNICATIONS AMINO ENABLE

Amino ENABLE is a virtual set-top box (STB) software platform for new and legacy hardware, allowing operators to provide a consistent user experience across their customer base regardless of device. It does this by transforming their legacy STBs so that they can run the same advanced user interface on both existing and new customer premise equipment. By ‘upcycling’ existing STBs through virtualisation, thus eliminating installation and new device costs, ENABLE saves operators millions of dollars in capital expenditure and helps them keep pace with consumer demands. ENABLE is deployed as an interoperable Ã vÌÜ>Ài `iw i` >LÃÌÀ>VÌ >ÞiÀ] } devices into the middleware and backend systems of a service delivery platform. With an open API and modular design, ENABLE allows seamless integration with CAS, DRM, STM management and HTML5 browsers. Tried and tested as the software core for Amino VIEW, the world’s most deployed IP STB, ENABLE is now available to be deployed on third-party STB hardware platforms, so that all operators can futureproof their offerings and deliver innovative, higher value services across all devices. These include OTT TV, SVoD, multiscreen user experience, and UHD video – along Ü Ì > Õ«`>Ìi` > ` Õ w i` ÕÃiÀ ÌiÀv>Vi across each customer base. iÞ Ƃ Li iw ÌÃ `i ÃÌÀ>Ìi` through initial deployments with Cincinnati Bell and PCCW Media include: • Combat churn and grow subscribers

– boosting both retention and acquisition, with operators showing more than 200 per cent subscriber growth • Increase return on capital – eliminating need to replace legacy STBs and saving millions of dollars on device and installation costs, cutting as much as 80 per cent off upgrading expense

• Rapid time to market – upgrading STBs with software, rather than simply replacing them, means deployment of new services and capabilities takes a quarter of the time, so a hardware swap-out that would normally take a year is cut to just three months www.aminocom.com

PAYWIZARD

PAYWIZARD AGILE AND MASSIVE AXIS

Visitors to IBC2017 were introduced to the brand-new strategic partnership between Paywizard and Massive Interactive; showcasing a data-driven solution that helps OTT operators to create personalised user experiences to maximise acquisition, grow ARPU and reduce churn. The customer centric solution uses rich data insight and predictive analytics to deliver a more targeted user experience and optimise engagement with an OTT service at each of the eight key ‘Decision Moments’ in the customer journey: Find, Join, Consume, Upgrade, Downgrade, Bill, Leave and Win Back. The customer experience element of a provider-subscriber relationship has become the most critical consideration for OTT services today. Global research published by Paywizard reveals that failure to understand a customer – and to provide a consistently positive customer experience as a result – can have a fatal impact on a subscriber relationship. Together, the two companies have combined the power of both the Paywizard Agile and Massive AXIS platforms to enable providers to deliver the right content, offers and assistance at the perfect time – engaging their subscribers with a service that is most relevant to them. Through the Decision Moments dashboard within Paywizard Agile, an OTT operator can leverage data analytics to track each subscriber interactions and segment their subscriber base, then trigger a change in the front-end UI via Massive AXIS depending on a customer’s stage in their journey. Under ‘Leave’ for example,

*>ÞÜ â>À`½Ã «Ài` VÌ Ûi > > ÞÃ Ã `i Ì w iÃ customers indicating a high propensity to churn and recommends package options relevant to that individual. Massive then takes that insight and tailors the front end to display personalised package options, which reduces the likelihood that the subscriber will churn.

This detailed, data-driven personalisation from Paywizard’s combined solution strengthens the subscriber’s engagement with the service – and therefore delivers an exceptional customer experience – allowing any operator to achieve optimum commercialisation. www.paywizard.com

DOPCHOICE SNAPBOX

Flexible LED panels, light tiles and tube-shaped fixtures have become economical LED lighting sources. While these fixtures supply plenty of light output, they lack the softer quality of a professional modelling light. Ultimate upgrade: To solve this, DoPchoice, makers of light shaping tools, intro’s the first no hassle softbox just for these fixtures. Utilising DoPchoice’s patented self-tightening Snap Technology, Snapbox quickly unfolds and instantly deploys into a rectangular shape creating a smooth diffusion box that mounts over standard frames to soften and control light emitted from raw LEDs. No hassle: Front and sides feature quick hook’n loop attachment of diffusion fabrics. The front diffusion panel is made of popular Magic Cloth stretched across the rectangular front for even, optimum diffusion. No spill: The sides control spill via self-attaching fabric panels. Each comes with two sets of interchangeable side panels. One, made of Magic Cloth, controls ambient light and the second is an opaque black/metallic fabric with a reflective layer on the inside, to amplify light, and a black layer that cuts spill.

Easy mounting: Snapbox simply attaches to any given light. Its corner eyelets are handy for flying it overhead on safety cables. Alternatively, the corner elastic straps can be stretched over a standard Frost Frame/ flag, and mount with standard grip equipment. Instant diffusion trio: The Snapbox is available to fit a variety of brands including: LiteGear, Alladdin, BB&S, Cineroid, Fomex, etc. Available in three sizes, the Snapbox 4x2 measures 123cm long, 62cm wide and 32cm high, and weighs just 2.75kg/6lbs. The 4x4 is 123cm long by 122cm wide by 32cm high and weighs 3.7kg/8.1lbs. The ample 8x4 reaches 209cm long, 122cm wide, and 31cm high, yet weighs barely 8kg/17.6lbs. All are a very slim 30cm/11.8in deep. Snap on grids: DoPchoice Snapgrids snap up and hook‘n loop on to direct light and control spill. www.dopchoice.com

NET INSIGHT

STCC LIVE APP WITH SYE

Prior to the STCC (Scandinavian Touring Car Championship) race on 17th June, Net Insight announced that STCC would use its live OTT Sye technology for live content, a new STCC Live App, planned to optimise the fan experience during the race. The STCC Live App offered viewers on iOS devices a complimentary and unique, immersive experience, getting access to driver cams, driver information, the produced feed, and guest speakers, all in one application. Sye’s ability to deliver synchronised video feeds over OTT, with ultralow fixed delay and low bandwidth requirement, was key in creating the STCC Live App. With Net Insight’s Sye solving sync and delay, the first and second screens can become integrated, enabling second screens to serve as extensions of the viewing experience on the first screen. This further enables new monetisation for STCC as content owner. The STCC enhanced second screen app uses product placement for all driver cams and branded sponsor channels in the STCC app to further monetise its content in addition to normal broadcast revenue. Sye also opens up significant business potential via enhanced viewer engagement and new advertisement models, adding value-added

applications on top: such as real-time social media commentary, interactive gaming, in-game betting, voting and polling – all within a real-time TV viewing experience. As a result of using the Sye technology, the STCC Live app enhanced viewer engagement. It was the first time

where the audience was able to follow a race in real-time over OTT. Viewers had access to exclusive, value-added extras which allowed them to follow their favourite driver, join the crew in the pit-stop and listen to exciting guest speakers and influencers. netinsight.net

NDI version 3 supports multicast with forward error correction, a } ivw V i VÞ `i ÃÕ Ì>L i v À Ü Ài iÃÃ or long-distance transmission, and PTZ camera control along with tally and improved encoding performance.

Ü>Ã w ÀÃÌ ÌÀ `ÕVi` LÞ iÜ/i at IBC2015, and since then, millions of NDI-enabled applications, devices and systems have been developed. It has therefore become the de facto industry standard for sharing IP video over a standard Ethernet network and has quickly become the common language connecting other IP video standards. Version 3 of NDI represents the largest incremental change to the NDI SDK since its launch two years ago. For instance, converting HDMI and SDI signals easily and cost-effectively into IP signals has been a major challenge for the industry and NDI version 3 creates a movement to removes this roadblock for users. It is available to download as an easy-to-use SDK which can be integrated into any application such as standardising video, audio, tally and camera control to provide V Ûi i Ì */< V ÌÀ V w }ÕÀ>Ì ° NDI version 3 also brings a new high ivw V i VÞ `i Ü Ì vÕ ÀiÃ ÕÌ

capabilities and full frame-rate video, which is suitable for wireless, remote and large-scale networks. A single NDI source can now serve any number of destinations, limited only by network infrastructure which means multicast now supplements unicast support, in addition to improved encoding performance. NewTek NDI partner Panasonic adds:

“Integrating built-in NDI in Panasonic’s line-up of PTZ cameras, we are furthering our IP video leadership. NDI version 3 has a bright future as a game-changing technology that moves IP based video production to a new level with camera acquisition technology that can fall right into an NDI network.” www.newtek.com

PAYWIZARD & OSTMODERN VENUE

Paywizard and Ostmodern have come together to create Venue, an end-to-end solution that provides a revolutionary approach to PPV services by treating viewers as long-term customers. Launched at IBC2017, the software and services solution, built on nearly 20 years combined experience of delivering and supporting PPV events, is driven by the relationship between the operator and customer – optimising the individual content journey each viewer takes throughout the PPV customer journey. Venue focuses on building lasting relationships with customers long-term, so that operators don’t just monetise a single event, but create predictable and growing revenue streams.

Traditionally, PPV events have been dealt Ü Ì Ã >Ì Æ Ü iÌ iÀ «iÀ>Ì ÀÃ >Ài w ÀÃÌ venturing into PPV or are well–established in the market, most tend to focus on the delivery of the event and short-term monetisation opportunities. Venue is different and provides the ‘Decision Moments’ framework – the eight critical points in the PPV customer journey: Find, Join, Consume, Upgrade, Downgrade, Bill, Leave and Win Back. Operators can now offer personalised engagement at each key stage by proactively using customer data insight and predictive analytics to leverage a dynamic content management system that feeds captivating content to consumer devices.

With 80 per cent of PPV registrations happening in the hour before an event, operators must have a scalable solution, but keeping customers engaged before and after an event is the major PPV challenge. Venue helps drive loyalty and growth during all stages; including the ability to create targeted marketing campaigns, offer further premium extras such as VR content and merchandise or even introduce SVoD subscriptions for regular customers. Venue is designed to change the way PPV events are managed today and in the future – the result being a long-standing, loyal customer base. www.paywizard.com www.ostmodern.co.uk
