The future of broadcast: Watch this space!
Facebook’s Daniel Danker said video is “exploding” onto Facebook
By David Wood Modern Times Group’s Danish CEO Kim Poder has appealed to existing broadcast networks to keep a close eye on fastchanging patterns of video consumption and adapt to the new ways in which audiences want to consume video. Speaking to a packed audience at the opening IBC Keynote session ‘Fans, Friends and the Future of Broadcasting’
01 IBC D1 2017 v2 Final.indd 1
yesterday (14 September) Poder said: “It’s important to remember there are a lot of competitors coming in, so don’t be a fat cat and sit on your hands – change your business models and adapt to new audiences.” Poder advised broadcasters to pay particular attention to millennial viewers, who are watching more on mobile and social platforms and investing less time with traditional broadcast platforms.
Social networks such as Facebook are becoming much more video-oriented and represent a new opportunity, according to Poder. Facebook product director Daniel Danker, also speaking at the opening Keynote address, reported that video is “exploding” on Facebook and now makes up 50 per cent of all the company’s mobile data traffic. “We expect it to grow to 75 per cent in the next five years,” he said. Facebook launched original video platform Watch two weeks ago in the US, enabling users to find serialised video content on the platform, and has commissioned publishers to create content for the platform. “Watch will allow publishers to create groups that connect them with their audience – enabling them to engage with their community between episodes – particularly through the comments section.” Danker said that genres such as reality TV, live sports and comedy are going to be significant on Facebook. He also listed some of the experimental new content that
Facebook is trailing on the platform, including; Humans of New York, a weekly series based on a photo-blog by Brandon Stanton; Hala Madrid, a behindthe-scenes series about Spanish football team Real Madrid; Returning the Favor – a series based on ordinary Americans who do good work; and live sports such as Major League Baseball. “Any producer can find a loyal audience on Watch,” said Danker. Danker confirmed that Facebook will expand the Watch platform to international territories allowing more broadcasters “to discover communities of passionate fans”. “It’s a new platform which allows broadcasters to make something bespoke for the Facebook audience.” MTG’s Poder said that his company was trialling over 500 hours of ESL sports content on Facebook. “For us it’s a significant new way to reach audiences. If you leave out Facebook and YouTube, you need to have a good answer as to why you are doing that.”

OUTLINED
Michael Crimp, chief executive, IBC Fifty years ago, a small group of people from the broadcast industry decided that the market deserved a world-class convention. The plan was to include a conference alongside an exhibition, with the aim of driving conversations and sharing experiences, rather than just selling kit. They called it the International Broadcasting Convention, and 50 years on, IBC is still going strong. It is, without a doubt, the one must-see event if you want to keep up to date with the latest trends in technology, creativity and business. Perhaps more important, IBC is an key enabler for
change in the industry. It is in the conversations at IBC that decisions are made, that things happen. To take just one example, last year we pulled off an incredible achievement, with our partners, in building the first IP Interoperability Zone, bringing together large numbers of different vendors to demonstrate that the next stage of the IP transition, live production, was practical. Since then, we have seen new standards like SMPTE ST 2110, initiatives like AMWA NMOS, and the widespread acceptance of the AIMS roadmap for the future. All of
this and more will be marked in this year’s IP Showcase which will include presentations and case studies in a dedicated theatre as well as the interoperability demonstrations. How are we able to facilitate progress like this? By doing exactly what the founders did 50 years ago. IBC is, and has always been, organised by the industry, for the industry. Our structure ensures we look ahead at what the key issues are going to be, addressing them appropriately whether that is through dedicated zones on the show floor or in special strands across the conference. We are, of course, celebrating
Standing the test of time
our golden anniversary. But primarily IBC is looking forward. Our role is to provide the forum at which ideas are developed and business is
done. On behalf of the whole IBC team, welcome to Amsterdam. I hope your time here is productive and successful.
Facebook is creating a ì journalistic crisisî
By George Jarrett The IBC Showcase has marched way past the endless chains of gateways that dominated last year to a look beyond IP transport to other layers of software definition. The evident advances were identified by Mike Cronk, chairman of AIMS. He said: “We had 30-plus companies last year, of which 13 were demonstrating the drafts of ST 2110. Now all 52 are showing 2110. “Apart from scale, the SMPTE standard is much further advanced and it provides an IP standard that will stand the test of time for broadcast, because it deals with the elementary streams – the holy grail the industry has wanted,” he added. Timing has significantly improved, and features like automatic lipsync come into play. And the showcase has moved on from registration discovery (AMWA ISO4). “With IP, there is the ability to automate and improve a lot of system functions, and the work of AMWA is very important here,” said Cronk. “IS05 is the connection management which will allow receivers and senders to connect in a common way.”

Facebook isn’t playing fair when it comes to news, according to the panel
By Chris Forrester
AIMS chairman Mike Cronk at the IBC Showcase
With SDI, this matched control systems and proprietary protocols. The new connectivity is a huge boost to interoperability. “We are showing real applications with a host of equipment variety – cameras, vision mixers, audio consoles, multi-viewers – practically any product that a broadcaster needs is there with a ST 2110 interface,” said Cronk.
“We have opened the door to a lot of possibilities. Real equipment is doing real work in real apps. The roadmap is very well expressed in the JT-NM: we need to get to other layers of software definition, so we can realise a dematerialised infrastructure. At AIMS, we see this as the new phase and we will collaborate.” Room E.106
There were powerful arguments from an IBC panel on ‘Fake News’ that Facebook, the outlet for many wholly false stories over the past few years, is not playing fair. Ben de Pear, editor for Channel 4 News, admitted that it had been censured by UK regulator Ofcom having wrongly identified the Westminster Bridge terror attacker in March. “We corrected our error within 20 minutes, and apologised on air then and subsequently. But Facebook and others publish dozens of deliberately fake stories each day, while sucking up huge amounts of cash, without any penalty.” Nabil Wakim, head of editorial innovation at Le Monde, told delegates that Facebook’s factchecking simply does not work. We are part of the ‘hoax busters’ initiative, and try and debunk these stupid stories. But it is depressing how well Facebook works. One hundred false stories reached more than four million
readers, and while most were on politics, there were stories on health, about dangerous cancer cures that simply do not work.” Derl McCrudden, head of news and international video at Associated Press, was even more critical, arguing that the problem was more than just Facebook. “They are an echo-chamber for false news. But simply by checking and reporting on the truth, we can end up giving a story extra life. We are facing a societal problem. A true crisis. But we are not the policeman of the internet.” C4’s de Pear admitted that the internet has democratised access to news. “But quality news is expensive, and is not a joke. Facebook doesn’t pay nearly enough for the news and reports they take from us. They are a near-monopoly and are out of control. They have three or four people working on news across Europe. We have three or four people working on a single story.”

Updating your social Stratus Grass Valley By David Fox The latest version of the GV Stratus (v6.0) production and content management system has been designed as a “social engagement engine”, according to Grass Valley’s president, Marco Lopez. As news becomes more attuned to the needs of social media, Stratus can now monitor major platforms to determine what people are viewing, to identify trends and help develop better social media content. “It’s a full social media front end,” he said. “With social media, news is constant. Our customers tell us that they need to put out social media content every few minutes,” he explained. The system can publish, monitor, track and delete stories on
Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and other platforms. The development is part of Grass Valley’s efforts to help news production become more flexible and scalable, including greater virtualisation, which “offers our customers better resource management and better collaboration with improved cost efficiency”, added Lopez. It will also make it a lot easier to ramp up news resources for a big breaking story. Grass Valley will also be previewing the latest version of its editing platform, Edius 9.0 (shipping November), which is cloud-ready (with floating licenses, which can be added to as needed, and virtualisation) and supports HDR-native editing and exporting. Editors can mix SDR and HDR material on the same project, and output results in either colour space.
Smart production highlights Ross Video By Heather McLean Today at IBC, Ross Video unveiled the company’s latest innovations, product and partner announcements to support an industry undergoing unprecedented transformation. “Transformation is the rallying cry at this year’s IBC. Never before has the industry been more engaged in the conversation about how to take the current state of the business, technology and organisation, explode old notions of how to do things and start with a fresh
04 IBC D1 2017 v3 Final.indd 1
slate,” stated Jeff Moore, EVP at Ross Video. Ross is showcasing its Frontier game changer for AR/VS graphics. Frontier utilises the power of the Unreal 4 game engine to render hyper-realistic scenes, textures and dynamic effects, including real-time shadows, reflections, particles and physical effects. At IBC, Ross is demonstrating Frontier, showing real-time data integration and realistic animated human scans from recent projects. Also, Ross is introducing its XPression Tessera and Ross Stadium/MultiScreen Workflow. It is showing the technology behind the largest stadium screen in the

Also new is Ignite v10, which adds automated production with a new customisable user interface, persistent templates allowing last-minute changes without having to go back to the newsroom computer system, and a new companion application that enables simultaneous control by up to three operators – easing the pressure of breaking news production.
Tools are turning into standards By George Jarrett The promised revisions to the Joint Task Force on Networked Media (JT-NM) Roadmap crucial to the fast evolving era of networked media open interoperability – have thrust the term ‘dematerialised aspects’ into our lingo. The roadmap now leads with aspects around cloud-fitness and non-media specific IT. The vital pathways for an industry demanding something to trust and consult required prescribed inputs from AMWA, the EBU, SMPTE and VSF. The original roadmap focused on virtualisation, but that is just one aspect of a rapidly changing media scene. The bigger trend is facility creep beyond conventional structures, towards apps running on non-media specific IT kit. Brad Gilmer, executive director of AMWA, observed: “While the partners were doing good work on our own prior to the JT-NM effort, the roadmap has helped immensely in co-ordinating the activities of the sponsors, and has served to increase end user
confidence that we are working together towards a common goal – open interoperability using IT technology. Dematerialised facilities are where people are headed in the mid-term.” From the standards aspect we have the much-lauded SMPTE ST 2110 suite of tools for professional media over managed IP networks, plus the AMWA NMOS IS-04 discovery and registration and IS-05 connection management specs. The meat includes the recently published Cloud Security for Media Companies (EBU R146), the promise of more flexible and efficient workflows, UHD support and mezzanine compression. SMPTE director of engineering and standards Howard Lukk observed: “We hope that the roadmap continues to signal the industry on the expected timeline of the standards process. One of the keys is how we work with groups to bring specifications into the standards cycle. “Tools are turning into standards, and this gives the industry confidence in the interchange points becoming stable,” he added.

In memoriam: Sam Blackman OUTLINED
By James McKeown The outpouring of emotion and support from within the industry at the tragic passing of Elemental co-founder and CEO Sam Blackman is a fitting tribute to a leader whose talents and appetite for life will be profoundly missed by so many. Sam’s influence on the people with whom he worked, and indeed the wider industry, is poignantly documented in the multitude of tributes that have been offered in his honour. IBC Council member and entrepreneur Michelle
Munson told the Daily, “Sam accomplished more in these brief 41 years than most people do in a lifetime. He was a professional and personal example of what it means to innovate technology and build a company based on the right values, and through this, he was a benchmark for leadership and entrepreneurship.” Munson added: “There are very few people that were not touched in some way by Sam or his creations. Above all, he was a passionate supporter of service to the broader
community, and he rallied the industry to apply our energy and means to support those causes he believed so much in, including equity, education and the environment. The 4K runs for charity that are the pinnacle of community spirit at NAB and IBC are two such events, and in their vitality, so we recognise the vitality and legacy of Sam’s young but extraordinary life.” The IBC Daily spoke to Laura Barber, director of field marketing and publicity at AWS Elemental, who added: “Sam was passionate about community involvement and
Leaders look to the future By Dick Hobbs The Leaders’ Summit, IBC’s behind-closed-doors conference for CEOs, had its sights set firmly on the future. Yesterday’s proceedings, chaired by broadcaster Andrew Neil, focused on the challenges for media businesses in what is becoming known as the fourth industrial revolution. The packed room was challenged by entrepreneur and technology investor Nicklas Bergman. In an amusing

loved the 4K 4Charity Fun Run and how it pushes us all to do more in support of increased diversity and inclusion while engaging in good, healthy fun. “He would have loved to see us all come together to make a bigger impact for those who are under-represented in our industry and communities.” On behalf of the IBC Daily, I’d like to offer our deepest condolences to Sam’s family, and his extended family at Elemental. One of our industry’s brightest lights, never to be dimmed. Rest in peace, Sam.
In a time when early adopters seem to drive change, he urged caution from his personal experiences. “The challenge of being an early adopter,” according to Bergman, “is that you buy stuff, it doesn’t work properly, and you have no applications for it.” The delegates debated a range of transformative technologies, acknowledging that artificial intelligence has enormous potential if we trust it to do what it can. When Google’s AI servers beat the world Go champion, no-one – programmers or players – understood what the computer was doing.
Sam Blackman
More practically, Google has applied its artificial intelligence to the management of its data centres. Within minutes, optimisation achieved power consumption savings of 40 per cent, a bonus for any business. Bergman recommended a three-step approach to developments: analyse the technology, assess the business implications and adapt to the new reality. “Don’t put your head in the sand,” he urged the delegates. “New technology will occur no matter what happen. Be curious – curiosity is the key.”
eSports comes of age By David Wood eSports is finally emerging as a major new opportunity for broadcasters to build younger audiences. So said Michiel Bakker, CEO of Ginx TV, who in a Platform Futures conference session ‘eSports: The new broadcast game?’ (Forum, 14 September) pointed out that eSports is beginning to overtake traditional sports both in terms of audiences and prize money. The global eSports market is forecast to reach nearly $700 million in 2017, with prize money rising to $100 million a year. “Prize pools are on the increase – $24
06 IBC D1 2017 v3 Final.indd 1
million was the prize offered to Team Liquid who won $2 million each – even the team who came second in League of Legends won $4 million,” said Bakker. “Prize pools for some tournaments are now on a par with some of the biggest sports such as golf.” eSports is also becoming more professional with the help of trainers and nutritionists, and the involvement of traditional sports in eSports is now giving major brands the confidence to engage. Mercedes-Benz has committed $1 million sponsorship to eSports, and the growth trajectory is big, said Bakker. “Who wouldn’t want
an exclusively millennial audience of young, global tech-savvy super-connected people?” There is a lot of evidence that established media are now sitting up and taking notice, said Bakker – who pointed out that ITV and Sky each took a 16.5 per cent stake in Ginx eSports TV in 2016. “Facebook now has a global head of eSports, while the BBC has licenced eSports content for BBC3,” said Bakker, who added all TV channels should be interested in carrying some sort of eSports programming to attract the millennial audience which are their new viewers. There are big opportunities for
Michiel Bakker: “eSports will continue to become more professionalised”
established players, but getting involved is not straightforward, warned Bakker. “You have to be credible and authentic or the eSports audience will sniff you out real fast. “Be authentic, listen to the community and respect them – they are extremely vocal – it’s their community and they are worried about how mainstream media are going to treat them. “You also need to be super-careful with ad insertion,
because eSports audiences won’t forgive you for inserting ads over a live competition. “There is development, but eSports fans are a very tribal group – still very male-dominated. “I predict that eSports will continue to become more professionalised and will occupy a greater space because millennial audiences will drive it into the mainstream.”

TV will stay forever OUTLINED
By Ann-Marie Corvin TV is here to stay forever and the naysayers who predicted its downfall are wrong, and most probably work in advertising, according to TF1’s distribution head Fabrice Mollier. Sharing a series of stats that made the case for free-to-air commercial TV’s healthy and ubiquitous future in Thursday morning’s session, ‘TV is not Going Anywhere’, Mollier argued that TV is at the very heart of video usage. According to Mollier, in France, 4.6 million people watch TV daily in catch up regardless of which screen,
while 45 million people watch live TV daily on a TV screen. Mollier added that the ad-friendly millennial demographic is not pressing TV’s off switch as quickly as analysts once predicted. Mollier took Europe’s most disruptive market – the UK – and demonstrated how TV viewing accounts for 57 per cent of all millennial digital video consumption. TV also has the lead in millennial digital video consumption in France (93 per cent), Ireland (69 per cent), Switzerland (93 per cent) and Canada (62 per cent). One of the reasons the death of TV has
Rosco buys DMG LumiË re DMG Lumière/ Rosco Laboratories By David Fox French LED lighting specialist DMG Lumière has been acquired by Rosco Laboratories in a deal concluded at IBC. “The DMG people have innovated lighting products, particularly in the LED range, which fit perfectly with our direction in film and TV, which makes it an ideal fit,” said Rosco chairman Stan Miller. “Rosco has always seen itself as a sales and marketing company, and DMG’s great strength is in creativity, innovation and manufacturing, so the fit is obvious and, for DMG, Rosco’s

worldwide distribution network will bring them coverage that they haven’t had,” explained Miller, who sees the deal as a win-win, especially as Rosco needed people with particular LED lighting experience. DMG is only three years old and has 11 staff. Its range of soft panels are mainly sold as location lights, “but as they
been so greatly exaggerated was that advertisers themselves tended to underestimate TV consumption, Mollier claimed. In a study by UK commercial broadcaster ITV, advertisers tended to underestimate the amount of TV ‘normal’ people watched per day by almost 50 minutes. He added that the truth was, despite a decade of disruption, standard TV viewing has remained resilient. Using the UK again as a case in point, where 89 per cent of households have access to the internet, TV viewing has remained static at three hours and 30 minutes per day.
are very thin and lightweight they are also being used in small studios”, including green screen use, said Nils de Montgrand, DMG’s MD. So far, 40 per cent of its sales have been in France, the rest mainly in Europe, so Rosco’s worldwide reach will make a big difference, allowing DMG to concentrate on development, he added. 12.A40/12.E45

“As 4K/UHD gains more traction, the expenses associated with encoding and streaming 4K/UHD content are still cost-prohibitive for many organisations due to the high premiums charged by encoding companies for their 4K systems. The high capex associated with establishing a 4K streaming workflow is a major barrier to market-entry,” asserted Vitec president and CEO Philippe Wetzel, adding that with MGW Vision’s price point “we’re broadening the access to Vitec’s 4K [systems] and making it more accessible for organisations
to launch broadcast-grade 4K services”. The MGW Vision is a compact 1-RU appliance featuring hardware HEVC/H.265 encoding in both 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 modes. The encoder supports streaming a single UHD or four HD HEVC channels ingested from four 3G-SDI inputs and can also store encoded content while streaming onto the network. Also at IBC, Vitec has unveiled the MGW Ace Encoder firmware v2.0. Using the new HEVC GEN2 codec, it provides up to 4:2:2 10bit HEVC encoding. 7.G23
Mollier: Advertisers tend to underestimate the amount of TV consumed by ‘normal’ people
However, whether TV would continue its resilience and defy its doom mongers is a moot point. Mollier said that TV would be around forever – but when
the IBC session audience was polled only 20 per cent of the audience agreed with him, with 80 per cent giving TV just another 10 years.

StorNext 6, a new release of the workflow storage platform, is now shipping with Quantum’s Xcellis shared storage. StorNext provides scalable storage for 4K workflows. According to the company, a new quality of service feature allows users to tune performance across client workstations, and on a machine-by-machine basis, in a shared storage environment. Users can allocate specific bandwidth to individual workstations and set parameters ensuring that less timely or demanding tasks do not consume an unnecessary amount of bandwidth. A new feature called FlexSpace allows multiple instances of StorNext – and geographically distributed
teams – to share a single storage repository. They can also create shared repositories to include both public and private cloud storage that uses the standard S3 protocol, and facilities to establish protected off-site content storage. The new FlexSync capability was added to synchronise content between multiple StorNext instances. StoreNext 6 also has new features aimed at improving file management. At IBC, Quantum’s lineup also includes FlexTier, a cloud-access feature for integration of existing public-cloud storage accounts and third-party object storage into a StorNext environment and media workflows.

theibcdaily OPINION OUTLINED
Extending media production into the cloud Jeff Rosica, president, Avid Media organisations are under immense pressure to create ever-greater volumes of high-quality content, but technology budgets are straining to keep pace. Heritage production environments aren’t as flexible or as efficient as they need to be to handle the load and fast pace. Increasing operational capacity requires expensive, often redundant staffing and capital expenditures. And production facility real estate makes it very costly to house hardware. Compounding the problem, many organisations that have over-provisioned their on-premise hardware capacity are actually under-using their systems investments. Extending media production to the cloud – in the way that
best suits an organisation’s unique operational realities – opens up the opportunity to both increase production capacity and ease the financial burdens of content creation and distribution. Media organisations gain the licensing flexibility and business agility to align their deployed technology solutions with the needs of their production environment. They can also connect and collaborate from anywhere; whether through a workstation, laptop, or mobile device – all while increasing efficiency across every facet of the media value chain. Now media organisations can grow viewership and brand affinity, connect with their audiences in new ways, and fully protect their assets by operating
in a secure environment. It’s easy to scale resources as needed to address peaks in demand, whether anticipated or not, and tap into massive economies of scale across workgroups and departments. And the flexibility and elasticity of cloud services enable media organisations to maximise the value of their assets by expanding to new outlets. They can repurpose material to exploit new revenue streams and grow brand affinity across a broader range of viewers by making content available everywhere they want to consume it, whether on TV, online, or on a mobile device. It’s no surprise that the inaugural Avid Customer Association (ACA) Vote, which gave Avid’s customer
community the unique opportunity to directly influence Avid’s future offerings, revealed that the vast majority of media professionals (71.7 per cent) are considering moving some part of their infrastructure or workflow to the cloud over the next two years – the most popular being remote access workflows (15.8 per cent). However, just 4.8 per cent are considering moving their entire infrastructure and workflow to the cloud, highlighting the important role that hybrid cloud deployment models will play in the media industry’s future. At Avid Connect 2017, we announced that the MediaCentral Platform is now cloud-enabled, giving media organisations greater efficiency, flexibility and agility
to meet today’s most pressing media production challenges. With new cloud-based client applications, media services, and infrastructure on demand, they can deploy the platform, services, and applications in more flexible ways – on premises, in a private data centre and in the public cloud. At IBC2017, Avid is unveiling cloud innovations and demonstrating how media organisations can realise the many benefits of cloud-based media production – from more efficiency and agility across the media value chain, to less complexity and lower costs. 7.J20
Seductive Sumo screen satisfies DoP Atomos By David Fox
Sumo wrestler: Rodney Charters with Atomos’ new 19-inch monitor/recorder
12 IBC D1 2017 v1JRJMcK.indd 1
Director of photography Rodney Charters ASC has been one of the first to use the latest Atomos Sumo 19-inch production monitor and recorder. Charters, best known for his work on 24, used it on a shoot with YouTube star Kaiman Wong. The DoP already had three other Atomos devices, but likes the added flexibility of the larger screen. “It is a tremendous help for reviewing on set,” he said. “I get a much bigger picture to
evaluate the finer detail in my frames.” Its HDR capabilities and the ability of its bright 1200nit screen to work in daylight are also proving useful. “We get a good sense of where the highlights lie, and where the shadows fall while we’re actually lighting,” added Charters. It allowed him to bring out the information that is in the Raw files to see exactly what has been captured in the highlights or blacks. Look-up tables (LUTs) loaded onto the Sumo’s internal memory also allowed for rapid preview of
various creative looks that could then be finalised in post. Charters also liked the simplicity of control via Sumo’s touchscreen, and its compatibility with many different cameras. On the YouTube shoot he used the Arri Alexa, but often has to use other cameras, like the VariCam, or smaller cameras like the Panasonic GH5. The Sumo can handle single-, dual-, and quad-link SDI connections, plus HDMI, and records to SSD or HDD drives that can be handed off to directors and producers. 11.D25/11.D15

theibcdaily Q&A OUTLINED
Bryce Button, director of product marketing, AJA Video Systems Has IBC come at a good time for the electronic media industry? Why? As broadcast technology and trends evolve, a growing number of professionals are embracing both high dynamic range and broadcast IP as major drivers. Although broadcast IP provides a path to more flexible production and delivery pipelines, it also poses tremendous bandwidth challenges in the sense that the weakest link in the chain can affect the whole operation. HDR can fully function within all current bandwidth needs,
meaning added aesthetic value at very little cost. IBC2017 arrives at an opportune time, as we’re likely to see these trends and 12G-SDI for traditional broadcast workflows expand as broadened data transfer technologies aim to break down the bandwidth barrier for IP needs.
What do you think are the key developments in, or threats to, your market sector at the current time? HDR is a maturing development with major market implications. With HDR delivery demand fuelled
Service assured Agama Technologies
by the success of companies like Amazon and Netflix, HDR is no longer a differentiator but a soon-to-be must-have for many broadcasters. The public simply loves it. In response, broadcasters are increasingly motivated to figure out how to more seamlessly produce and deliver HDR content. There have also been some great advancements in broadcast IP, with SMPTE ST 2110 inching closer to finalisation.
Why should delegates visit your stand at IBC? We have quite a few surprises
in store for IBC that attendees won’t want to miss, including new solutions that match the growing bandwidth, speed and distance requirements for professionals working with higher resolutions, colour depth and frame rates. We’ll also be showing our FS-HDR universal converter/ frame synchroniser for real-time HDR and WCG processing and conversion, among other solutions for editing and colour correcting, monitoring, and playing back and analysing HDR content. JPEG 2000 and SMPTE 2110 support for KONA IP will
also be available, among AJA’s other production-proven solutions for broadcast, production, post and pro AV professionals. 7.F11

IBC’s Big Screen sessions: Saturday OUTLINED
By Chris Forrester IBC’s Big Screen sessions in the main RAI Auditorium are, for many visitors, their main reason for attending the show. Making use of a state-of-the-art cinema projection and sound installation, the four-day programme examines and demonstrates the hottest topics, themes and insights surrounding the art, science and business of cinema from capture through to exhibition. Saturday 16 September sees high dynamic range (HDR) and
wider colour gamut (WCG) explained and showcased by two leading scientists in the technology supply and content creation sectors of the motion-picture industry [Auditorium, 09:30-10:45]. Chaired by Julian Pinn, the guest speakers are Dolby vice president of technology Dave Schnuelle and Pixar senior scientist Dominic Glynn. A SMPTE fellow, Schnuelle is responsible for guidance and outreach in Dolby’s digital cinema and consumer imaging areas. At Dolby he has received awards for the development of the Dolby
professional reference monitor and the Dolby 3D stereoscopic cinema system. He was previously director of technology for Lucasfilm’s THX Division. Glynn leads Pixar’s endeavours in HDR, mastering and exhibition, including the recent theatrical release of Pixar’s Cars 3 in Dolby Cinema. Later, Pinn hosts the Future Camera & Presentation Technologies session [Auditorium, 11:00-12:30] with legendary cinematographer, visual effects supervisor and author David Stump ASC and light-field
visionary, production executive and motion-picture technology innovator Jon Karafin. The duo will discuss the very latest developments in technologies that are destined to revolutionise how images are captured. After lunch, there’s HBO’s extremely popular Camera Assessment session [Auditorium, 13:30-15:00] where three HBO experts, and a 60-minute documentary, examine the ARRI Alexa 65, RED Epic Helium 8K, Panavision Millennium DXL, Canon EOS C700, Panasonic Varicam PURE and the
Blackmagic Ursa Mini. Each camera is subject to the same set of rigorous photographic scenarios, including dynamic range, mixed colour lighting, motion, wardrobe colour patterns, skin tone and available light. An Arri session follows [15:30-17:30] which leads into the evening’s Saturday Night Movie [18:30], Baby Driver, in Dolby HDR and Dolby Atmos. And don’t forget the Monday Night Movie: War for the Planet of the Apes in the Auditorium at 18:30. No doubt both will mean another packed Big Screen.
Exploring opportunities for live video streaming Yospace
By Anne Morris Consultancy MTM teamed up with Yospace to research the evolution of the linear and live
video streaming market across Europe, and the two companies are presenting some of the findings in Hall 14 this week. As on-demand video content consumption grows, broadcasters are looking to
defend audience share by strengthening their live event and appointment-to-view content offers. As broadcasters distribute this live video across a growing range of IP platforms, many industry executives see
compelling new opportunities for advanced advertising – such as dynamic ad insertion and sequential targeting. But it is a complex market, with major internet businesses and platforms competing
to own the live IP video advertising space. The research paper investigates what the optimum approaches are for broadcasters, and what it will take to succeed. 14.C18

Jacques Le Mancq, chief executive, Broadpeak OTT video is ubiquitous today, and we’re inching closer to that being true beyond just on-demand content. Live content has been streamed by IPTV and cable operators for quite some time on main screens connected to set-top boxes (STBs), and more recently by OTT video providers on tablets, smartphones, and connected TVs via adaptive bitrate (ABR) technology. There are a couple of reasons why live OTT video hasn’t reached the stage of mass deployment yet. One of the biggest issues is limited scalability for streaming video, including the inability to manage live TV peaks during popular events. Latency is also a challenge. Generally for live streaming, there is a delay of about 30 to 60 seconds compared with only a few seconds on broadcast and IPTV networks. Five years ago, Broadpeak pioneered a solution that resolves these problems: nanoCDN. The industry’s first multicast ABR solution, nanoCDN enables live streaming channels to be multicast across a broadband network and then converted to unicast sessions in the customer premise, without requiring any software changes on the end-user device.
It effectively resolves the scalability issues that once existed for live streaming, turning millions of broadband gateways, cable modems, WiFi routers and STBs into active components of an operator’s content delivery infrastructure. Leveraging home networks, operators can cost-effectively manage the consumption peaks of live multiscreen services for millions of simultaneous viewers using only a few megabits per second from their network. With the scalability issue fixed, the next step the industry faced was tackling latency. Recently, we introduced a zero latency capability for nanoCDN that brings streaming delays to the same level as that experienced with broadcast and IPTV networks.
What’s exciting is that multicast ABR technology isn’t a pipe dream. Our nanoCDN has successfully been deployed by leading operators worldwide for live multiscreen service delivery and has already been integrated with home network devices from leading manufacturers. New use cases for multicast ABR technology are being applied, including live HTTP TV service delivery via satellite. In the future, we anticipate that all pay-TV operators will transition from traditional broadcast infrastructure to all-ABR delivery approach that unifies distribution of both broadcast and OTT content. Multicast ABR technology will be crucial to making that happen, and Broadpeak is leading the charge. 5.C72

The European market is getting a look at the MAM specialist’s new Tedial Evolution Live Event Archive product, with an emphasis on the use of the product by Timeline Television, a provider of OB, post-production and studio-based services for major UK networks. Timeline recently deployed an Evolution archive solution integrated with EVS products, and company representatives are at the show discussing how the system has enhanced and extended its large sports archive. Timeline’s design has extended product features for both the MAM and the production tools in a deep, bi-directional configuration, said Tedial. The main Tedial Evolution product is also a stand focus, with a demo of an end-to-end Interoperable Master Format (IMF) workflow that applies SMPTE IMF standards to provide an on-premise SaaS cloud solution for real-world distribution applications. By connecting to Tedial’s Evolution Version Factory, Tedial said an enterprise can achieve the cost savings of an IMF plant with an end-location driven, single workflow for managing OTT, VoD and specialised media distribution.

Free travel during IBC OUTLINED
Amsterdammers, when they are not cycling, rely on buses and trams to get around; there is almost no parking in the city, so a car is not really an option. The good news is that during IBC you can travel like a local. Your IBC registration includes a free GVB travel pass, valid from today until Tuesday. It covers all the buses, trams and metros within the city limits, 24 hours a day. Conference delegates and Exhibition visitors can pick up
their pass from IBC Info Points using their badge. You do need a GVB pass to travel on these transport routes – your IBC badge is not enough. IBC is on the tram network: the regular tram 4 and the special IBC tram 11 have additional services at peak times to carry you between the RAI and the city. Both go to Centraal Station, following different routes and passing many of the major hotels. If your hotel is near Centraal Station, or on the eastern side
of the old town, then there is a quicker route: the sneltram (metro) route 51. This runs from the RAI station, just a short walk to the south, to Centraal Station in under 15 minutes, with only a couple of stops along the way. If your hotel is not close to a tram route then check out the IBC shuttle buses. Information on routes and times can be found at IBC Info Points. Finally, when the time comes to leave the city, there

At the end of the day OUTLINED
IBC is the most comprehensive, informative and inclusive event in the broadcasting and media calendar, and it takes place in Amsterdam, one of the most cosmopolitan and welcoming cities in the world. Whether you are looking for fine dining or simpler fare; calm and tranquillity or wild nightlife; high culture or the excitement of the streets, you will find it all in Amsterdam. Even better, Amsterdam is an easy city to get around, however you want to travel.
There are good restaurants within walking distance of the RAI, and the city centre has an uncountable number of places to eat and drink. All IBC visitors get a pass for free travel on buses, trams and metros within the city, 24 hours a day, Friday to Tuesday. IBC Info Points will be able to help you with route maps. If you want to do as the locals do and cycle, there are plenty of places to rent a bicycle, including at the nearby Amsterdam RAI station. The
city is home to more than 800,000 bicycles, so you will not be alone. If you need a taxi, you will have to go to a rank – hailing a cab on narrow city streets would be a recipe for chaos. There are ranks at all the popular areas, including outside Hall 14 at IBC. It goes without saying that you should always take licensed cabs, which are metered. Rates are fixed by the city, at around €3 to hire plus about €2 per kilometre
Amsterdam is one of the most welcoming cities in the world

Big data takes the big prize OUTLINED
This year’s IBC Best Conference Paper Award has been awarded to Marcelo Souza and his colleagues João Castellani, Daniel Monteiro and Carlos Octávio Quieroz from Brazilian broadcaster TV Globo. The winning paper is called ‘Big data for data journalism, enhanced business analytics and video recommendation at Globo’. All papers proposed for the Advances in Technology section of the IBC Conference are subject to vigorous peer review by the IBC Technical Papers Committee, a team of experts led by Dr Paul Entwistle. Only those that represent the most original thinking make it to the conference. From this shortlist,
the most significant and engaging is selected to win the Best Conference Paper Award. This year’s winner looks at some of the ways in which TV Globo has moved to bring data analytics into the core operations of the business, revolutionising its working practices. Using data hosting and processing in the Amazon Web Services cloud, the solutions demonstrate real operational advantages and introduce new skills into operational areas to manage the analytics. “A lot of people are talking about the potential of big data applications in the media industry, but TV Globo has actually done it, and is reaping
real benefits from it,” said Dr Entwistle. “What makes this paper particularly interesting is that the authors talk about three very different applications: public data driving the news agenda; business analytics to understand audiences; and machine learning for content recommendations.” “We were also impressed with the readiness to share extensive details of what they have done,” Entwistle added. “There is a great deal of information and experience in this paper, backed up with very extensive references – exactly what we hope for in our technical programme.” On behalf of his colleagues, Souza said: “We are very proud

Advances in Technology, via IBC’s expert partners OUTLINED
By Chris Forrester There is no better way to rapidly obtain knowledge than learning from the combined skills of IBC’s truly expert partners. IBC is devoting a complete day [Monday, 18 September] to the likes of SMPTE, IEEE, SCTE and the IABM, and a series of sessions that are dedicated to the very latest thinking from some of the best brains in the business. An early Paper Session focuses on ‘Advances in Audio Production’ [Emerald, 08:30-10:00]. Presentations will cover the EU-funded Orpheus project into object-based audio,
sound source extraction and localisation for use in next-generation sound as well as the implementation and effectiveness of large-scale automated speech recognition. The seminar will see BBC R&D principal engineer Andrew McParland present ‘Speech to Text for Broadcasters’ while Salsa Sound director Rob Oldfield is due to deliver ‘Enhanced Next Generation Audio for Live Sports Broadcast’ and b<>com research engineer Nicolas Epain is down to do ‘Automatic Sound Source Localisation for Object-Based Audio Recording’.
The IEEE’s session [Emerald 11:00-13:00] will look in detail at the important ATSC 3.0 proposals and their implementation. The IEEE promises to supply a complete review of how the ATSC 3.0 physical layer works in a session aimed at the non-scientist. The presentations will review the basic concepts used in ATSC 3.0 (OFDM, advanced signaling, LDM, etc.) and apply them to a typical ATSC 3.0 transmission system. An extensive use of analogies makes this scientifically sound paper accessible to managers and engineers.
By the time you read this, the rolling 24-hour news service from IBC TV will already be online. Go to www.ibc-tv.org to get the latest news and informed comment: the system will detect your device and ensure you get the appropriate stream. IBC TV is produced on site, from a studio and production
base in Hall 13. Crews will also be out and about around the exhibition, reporting on what’s hot on the show floor. The cameras will also be present at many of the conference sessions, including all the keynotes, which are streamed live. Conference coverage is followed by a debate with experts in the studio to talk about the issues raised and to continue the ideas. IBC TV will also cover many events, including, of course, the IBC Awards Ceremony on Sunday night.
Returning to head the coverage are last year’s presenters, Martin Sanford and Hannah Shellswell. Sanford is an award-winning journalist who loves technology. He thoroughly enjoyed reporting on the latest developments last year and is looking forward to even more fun this year. The facility in Hall 13 includes a comprehensive broadcast and streaming infrastructure, built by IBC TV and using the latest technology from key vendors. The team outputs a live linear schedule 24-hours a day until the show closes on Tuesday afternoon. The output is transcoded to multiple
28 IBC D1 2017 v1JRDLJMcK.indd 1
The SCTE takes control with its ‘Managing the Network Infrastructure of the Future’ [Emerald, 14:00-17:30], looking at the challenge of traffic management when dealing with a variety of different types of content. This session covers various aspects including content management and the impact on hardware in the networks and in the home on coax as well as fibre. The presentations will cover actual and future infrastructure issues. SMPTE will review its SMPTE ST 2110 suite [Forum 14:00-17:00]. ST 2100 standardises transport of media over IP networks and
enables the use of IP switching and routing technology to transport and switch video, audio and metadata essence within television facilities. Existing standards such as SMPTE ST 2022-6 have gained some amount of use in this application but there was a desire in the industry to switch different essence elements separately. This session will give an overview of the ST 2110 suite of standards, and describe how they can be used within an infrastructure of networked specifications to achieve agile and flexible solutions for professional media live production.

formats and resolutions to ensure optimum performance whatever device you choose to watch on. To help you start your day with IBC TV, all the official IBC hotels offer free WiFi for guests. You can log in and watch while you have breakfast and get ready.
And when IBC is over for the year, all the content is available on demand. The entire IBC TV archive is accessible online, free of charge, so you can catch up with all the stories, debates and presentations year-round.

A forum for co-operation OUTLINED
The IP Interoperability Zone at IBC2016 was a real game-changer. It was staged by a partnership of standards and trade bodies, and brought together more than 30 exhibitors. These businesses, normally competitors, co-operated to demonstrate that open interoperability was real and could be achieved. That set off a remarkable year of co-operation. Several of the SMPTE ST 2110 standards documents are nearing completion, and publication via the SMPTE digital library is tentatively slated for later this year.
AMWA has taken up the baton with its NMOS project, looking at the next challenges including discovery and registration. A year on, IP interoperability is no longer a demonstration but a reality. It is celebrated in a new venture this year, the IBC IP Showcase, which can be found in E.106 The spirit of co-operation lives on, and this year more than 40 vendors are showing how their products can be readily interconnected, giving systems architects the confidence that best-of-breed configurations are practical. Demonstrations in the

If you have registered in advance then all you need to do is take your barcode to one of the badge stations. You will have your badge printed and be on your way in seconds. If you are a conference delegate or a Gold Pass visitor, dedicated desks in the Forum are provided to get you checked in and on your way. Again, the process is very swift. Follow signs for the conference. Not yet registered for IBC2017? If you have your laptop or connected device
with you the easiest way is to go to show.ibc.org/register. You can choose the right pass for you, pay and collect your barcode instantly, and then your badge will immediately be ready for collection. If you cannot get online then there are staff to help you in the registration areas. Not sure if you have the right pass? You can upgrade your registration from exhibition only to Bronze or Silver conference passes, or go for the full VIP experience of the IBC Gold Pass. The staff in the Forum will be able to help you with your questions, and upgrade your pass.
IBC IP Showcase are presented in logical application areas, including live production, contribution and routing, and playout. Alongside it is the IBC IP Showcase Theatre. This is the stage for a series of free presentations, where you will hear about the rapidly increasing
real-world IP deployments. Broadcasters and media companies who have already embraced IP signal flows will talk about the challenges and benefits, sharing experience and knowledge. Presentations will also look at the business and creative benefits of IP. This is a unique chance to
find out what the impact will be on every part of your operation. The important point is that the IBC IP Showcase is all about co-operation. With no direct sales agenda, the presentations and demonstrations are aimed at the exchange of information and experience.
New features for RelayCaster technology GMIT By Carolyn Giardina The Rohde & Schwarz subsidiary is showing the latest version of its newly acquired RelayCaster for content contribution over public IP networks, and CodecCaster for high-density live transcoding. The company acquired this Motama technology earlier this year. The new version of RelayCaster features integrated SDI/HDMI input and encoding. RelayCaster enables distribution of content across any distance, to any place
that is reachable by internet infrastructure. It targets live content producers and aggregators as well as live content service operators and OTT operators. CodecCaster is a software-based system for real-time transcoding. It supports transcoding and transrating to multiple bitrates for adaptive streaming for MPEG-2, AVC/H.264 and HEVC/H.265. Audio passthrough and audio transcoding for AAC, MPEG audio and Dolby Digital Plus is available. GMIT is also showing a commercial web service
to supplement the R&S content monitoring and multiviewing system, R&S Prismon. The virtuWall iOS app provides users with necessary information on the state and health of all monitored services. Marcus Ruoff, product manager, GMIT, said: “Operators are no longer tied to their consoles, working in shifts in case of a very rare system failure. Instead, they can focus on more productive tasks anywhere within their broadcast facility and still receive error notifications whether they are on or off-site.” 14.K18
xG Gameplan maximises ad spot inventory Imagine Communications By Ian McMurray IBC2017 sees the first European presentation of a new approach to maximising ad spot inventory from Imagine Communications. Using the scale and power of virtualised processing and the cloud, the new xG Gameplan aims to enable media companies to generate additional revenue by meeting audience targets while consuming the minimal amount of commercial airtime.

Imagine observed that broadcasters and other advertising-funded media
organisations are looking to maximise revenues, which in turn means maximising
the value of advertising inventories. According to the company, it’s a perishable commodity – once a commercial break is gone, it’s gone – so media companies are now focusing on getting the most value from the inventory, through delivering the target audience to the advertisers with fewer spots. Sarah Foss, chief product officer of advertising management, Imagine Communications, said: “Inventory holders must use their greatest asset more efficiently, freeing up airtime to make more money. We
designed xG Gameplan to do just that, to alter the playing field so that our customers can meet the audience targets of their advertisers on quality campaigns but consume much less airtime in the process.” The software uses cloud-native processing to optimise the booking of slots, backed by extremely detailed audience measurement and demographics. The aim is to ensure that all advertising placement opportunities earn the maximum revenue, without over-delivery across a campaign. 4.A01

theibcdaily OPINION OUTLINED
SDI and IP: fighting on two fronts Olivier Atonione, head of software product development, Deltacast Since transitioning from analogue to digital broadcast production, baseband video infrastructures have relied on SDI technology. Universally adopted standards such as SMPTE 259M (SD-SDI), 292M (HD-SDI) and 424M (3G-SDI) do not have to prove their suitability and robustness anymore. These norms continue to evolve and are future-ready for ultra HD, high dynamic range (HDR) and 12G-SDI. In parallel, the necessity to reduce capital expenditure and operating costs has pushed broadcasters to progressively move away from dedicated hardware solutions and to adopt more and more IT-based equipment. The industry is now looking to replace SDI video transport with streamed video
Fifty years ago the first IBC was focused on traditional broadcasting. Today consumers expect to be able to access the content they want wherever they are, and on whatever device happens to be convenient. For some years now, Hall 14 has been IBC’s home for exhibitors who are creating new and exciting solutions to deliver that experience. This is where you will find a large number of exhibitors focused on creating, managing and delivering content to any device at any time. In the centre of Hall 14 is the IBC Content Everywhere Hub. This features a theatre running a programme of discussions and presentations that are free to all visitors. The schedule includes two hour-long panel discussions each day (from today until Monday). Alongside these are a series of short demonstrations from leading vendors who are shaping the development of OTT content consumption.

over IP networks, and ultimately at totally dematerialising the broadcast production. To achieve that, new standards such as ST 2022-6, ST 2059 and ST 2110 are emerging. While those new norms open the doors to new workflows possibilities, the first pioneers implementing them in real situations realise that they do not completely address all broadcast questions: suitability for remote production, security issues, cloud-readiness, synchronisation and time stamping issues. One understands that the adoption of these technologies will be challenging and far from straightforward. The IP transition will happen for sure. Some organisations will move faster than others. Some will have an opportunity
The two curated debates each day are at 13:00 and 15:30 – take a break from the showfloor, sit down, hear from experts and join the discussions. The programme tackles hot topics including the explosive growth of live streaming, the user experience, and meeting the challenges of fragmentation by screen size, resolution and device delivery format. It also looks at emerging issues including cyber security and the growth of machine learning. Today’s lunchtime debate sets the agenda for the whole week in IBC Content Everywhere. Panellists from Roku, Magine and Easel TV will review the state of the nation in OTT. Later, at 15:30, representatives of Adobe Primetime, Simplestream and instaDIGITAL will talk about how to design a successful OTT content service. The programme of 20-minute presentations starts at 11:00, and today includes talks by
through a new building or a relocation to switch technology, while others will make their SDI investment profitable first. The global conversion will be progressive. On the other hand, IP streaming as per ST 2022-6 or ST 2110 is only the first step in a journey leading to completely IT-centric and virtualised broadcast facilities. During what is potentially a long transition time, broadcast equipment manufacturers have to move forward on two parallel roads: on one side they must support the large majority of broadcasters continuing with SDI standards, and at the same time they must help with the IP move, to understand it, to acquire know-how, to be able to propose solutions to the early adopters, and above
all to be onboard when the IP adoption becomes widespread. Actively going forward on new IP and IT solutions development while sustaining the SDI standards evolution is a challenge for manufacturers, who must deal with this risky double investment. The broadcast industry landscape might change in the coming years, and some manufacturers will have sufficient agility to successfully handle that duality, while other ones will not make it. Deltacast always surfs the technology wave and is naturally one of those companies who takes the risk of investing in those new IP roads without sacrificing the evolution of its traditional
baseband products. Fighting on those two fronts is for Deltacast an opportunity to grow. As a hardware I/O boards manufacturer, Deltacast also commits itself to making life easier for SDI customers that are moving to IP. This is done through the unified approach of its products where the application has a very abstracted view of the transport technology it is using. Applications move frames – or even sub-frame slices – no matter if they are carried on over an SDI cable or a network fibre… or between virtualised micro services. 7. A14

CTOs unveil their roadmaps OUTLINED
By Chris Forrester IBC’s CTO Roadmap panel [Forum, 14:15-15:15] can expect some tough questions from moderator Gerry O’Sullivan, a board director at Piksel and a former Sky exec, who will push them to explain their strategic roadmap for the
next two to five years, and the opportunities and inevitable challenges around key broadcasting technologies. O’Sullivan’s panelists are drawn from the industry’s best-known names and include Liberty Global executive vice president and CTO Balan Nair, Discovery
Communications CTO and chief information officer John Honeycutt, and Latha Maripuri, global chief information security officer and deputy CTO at News Corp. Ramki Sankaranarayanan, global CEO of Prime Focus Technologies, will also appear. Indeed, while there are
plenty of other technical panels at IBC that will touch on Ultra HD, high dynamic range, VR, or simply managing to deliver programming to consumers onto multiple devices, few will match this panel of industry experts for solid advice and insight into how they see the industry evolving. An inevitable topic will be that of IP, described recently
Dynamically assessing CDN quality Broadpeak By Ian McMurray Cloud PVR can now allow subscribers to launch multiple recordings on various channels simultaneously, without any constraint in terms of bandwidth or number of tuners on their reception device, according to Broadpeak. The company said it supports all scenarios for Cloud PVR, including start-over, time-shift,
34 IBC D1 2017 v1JRDLJMcK.indd 1
and catch-up TV, as well as impulsive recording, using a shared copy or private copy model. The recorded content can be processed on the fly to be viewed on any device type. Also on show on the company’s stand is umbrellaCDN, which the company said allows content providers to choose the best content delivery networks for delivering video content. Broadpeak is also highlighting CDN Diversity, which enables content providers to
dynamically take into account the instantaneous quality of several CDNs as a service, combine their contributions and deliver the content at a quality level exceeding what would be achievable with the best CDN alone. In addition, the company is showcasing BroadCache Box, a local video caching solution for broadcasters and content aggregators that it claims dramatically reduces CDN costs while boosting subscribers’ QoE.

as ‘The Last Great Paradigm Shift’ for broadcasting, and affecting every stage of the production – and delivery – of content. These are fundamental changes and their impact on workflow is significant. One other topic almost certain to come up is cloud automation and utilisation, and the growing importance of digital distribution. umbrellaCDN: content delivery networks for video
With BroadCache Box, local caches are deployed into telecom or cable operators’ networks, and the most popular content
from a specific content provider is stored, reducing latency and network congestion. 5.C72

At IBC2017 Sullivan will explain how Fox is pioneering new ways to connect with
customers across the globe by innovating in content that speaks more powerfully and connects more directly with audiences and is delivered via traditional and digital platforms that better fit the needs of today’s consumers. Sullivan will cover how Fox is coping with the direct challenges from the OTT disruptors and looking to retain viewers in an age when those consumers have never had so much choice.
Big switch for Zhejiang TV IHSE
By Carolyn Giardina A recent large switch implementation for Zhejiang Television is being showcased by IHSE. At the Zhejiang International Film and Television Center building in Hangzhou, operational staff spread over several floors in the building need instant access to broadcast equipment and systems located several tens or hundreds of metres away in another part of the building. IHSE reported that the centre installed a 160-port IHSE Draco tera enterprise KVM switch, which connects 100 operators to more than 70 source devices via CatX or fibre cables, depending upon the actual distance involved.
The Zhejiang TV Studio at the Zhejiang International Film and Television Center
A large multi-segment videowall situated in the newsroom is also connected to the KVM switch. Terence Teng, APAC managing director, IHSE, said: “This large switch implementation in such a prestigious broadcasting

Future Reality Theatre Upping broadcast sound in a small space OUTLINED
The IBC Future Zone has long been a favourite part of the exhibition. It gives visitors the chance to see the latest work from research labs, academia and software pioneers from around the world and spot which are going to be the integral to technology development and the end user five years from now. This year IBC has again included a stage in the Future Zone, home to a series of presentations on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The programme will look at creative, business and technology opportunities, particularly around VR, AR, MXR and beyond.
Speakers in the Future Reality Theatre include game-changers from organisations as diverse as AMD and Nokia, NBCU and Adobe, Live Planet and Fraunhofer HHI. Topics range from the genres that lend themselves to these new technologies through to the opportunities to monetise them. The Future Zone and the Future Reality Theatre can be found in the Park Lobby, outside Hall 8. The exhibits are open throughout the IBC exhibition hours. The presentations in the theatre, like the demonstrations, are free to all IBC visitors.

Safety in numbers: building security through collaboration OUTLINED
Mark Harrison, managing director, Digital Production Partnership I’ve got a confession to make. I’ve never written a line of code in my life. Consequently, I haven’t the faintest idea how hacking works. So, on that basis, I’m surely the last person who could come up with a cyber security presentation. Not necessarily, because the typical cyber security presentation goes something like this: There are more threats than ever. There are those who have been hacked and those who don’t know they’ve been hacked. And your people are the weakest link. Cue some stories about password idiocy. Move on to conclude that security is very difficult, but we all have to try harder. This may sound cynical, but that isn’t the intention. All the above is true and needs saying. But its repetition sometimes feels as if it marks a more uncomfortable truth: as we look around at such conferences, the real threat sits between us. The media supply chain is as weak as its least secure company; but we are struggling to find a way to help each other become more secure. In many ways, this difficulty is hardly surprising. No one wants to admit to a vulnerability in their processes or products. Making operations or products more secure may not make them easier to work with. And,
for all that it is now digital and connected, the media industry remains a peculiar mix of the highly technical and the highly personal: if media production was reduced to a set of automated, encrypted processes, creativity would be killed stone dead. At a DPP event at IBC2016, BBC chief technology and product officer Matthew Postgate observed: “The good guys need to work together – because you can be sure the bad guys are. The banks have already learnt this lesson. It’s very important that suppliers and customers are clear and honest in sharing information. The best thing the BBC did was admit to ourselves and our supplier base where we really were on security. We all need to be explicit.” Postgate’s comments resonated with the lead already taken by the North American Broadcasters Association (NABA). They had drawn up a set of basic cyber security requirements for all suppliers working with broadcasters. The list was published at IBC2016 in partnership with the DPP. A couple of months later, NABA brought the industry together in New York for a ground breaking international cyber security symposium. That symposium surfaced the reality: that the media industry is now a
prime target for increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks, but we lack a co-ordinated means of response. We need to find a way of getting the good guys together. So earlier this year the DPP gathered subject matter experts in security from across its membership. There was unanimous agreement that the industry needed to create some common best practice. At the request of its members, the DPP took the NABA/DPP Broadcaster Cyber Security Requirements for Suppliers, and turned it into a more formal checklist against which any supplier in the broadcast and distribution chain can comply themselves. The intention is to introduce this checklist into the UK in the first instance. It is hoped that, with time, the DPP can use its international reach to spread this approach beyond the UK and that a community of like-minded broadcasters, distributors and suppliers can help cascade best practice in a way that is manageable and affordable. What’s innovative about the Broadcaster Cyber Security Requirements document is that it isn’t a simple pass/fail. It is designed to enable suppliers to document their current activity around security – even if that means acknowledging areas
where they have issues. Those issues might even be created by their broadcaster customers! The intention is to acknowledge that vulnerabilities shift on a day-by-day basis but demonstrate a commitment to security – one that shows it is front of mind, proactive and ambitious for excellence. Ultimately no one can ask for more. The DPP Broadcaster Cyber Security checklist builds on a similar one created for the production and post-production community, which also enables them and their suppliers to self-assess against a number of key security criteria – while respecting the reality that the
needs and challenges of every production vary. At IBC2017 the first companies will be announcing their adoption of the DPP checklist approach. And in a special session in the IBC conference, I will be exploring this collaborative approach to security further, with colleagues from across the whole supply chain. And that’s the paradox of security: our expert colleagues who understand hacking can fight off the bad guys; but they’ll only be effective if we give them the means to work together. IBC Conference: Safety in Numbers – Collaborating Against Cyber Attacks, 12:00-13:15 Friday 15 September
Remote production features added TVU Networks By Will Strauss VoIP support and the ability to add new channels or a VLAN tunnel have been added to the latest version of TVU Networks’ RPS (Remote Production System). Version 3.0, on show at IBC2017, can synchronise across multiple unit pairs to create the
40 IBC D1 2017 v2JRJMcK.indd 1
additional channels and allows users to introduce a VLAN tunnel that will connect any IP device between the field and studio. RPS has been devised to allow broadcasters to do remote multi-camera news or sports production from their existing control room using a public internet connection. It is said to be frame accurate and offer genlock and synchronisation. The RPS transmitter encodes up
to six synchronised SDI sources and transmits low-latency IP video from the remote location to a studio-based receiver. The receiver can output six synchronised SDI outputs. For the first time in Europe, the company is also showing its Producer software for web-based live production. Running on an existing TVU transceiver, Producer features a web interface and support for the Facebook API. It

Microservices are the key OUTLINED
“The microservices architecture is inherently scalable and extensible,” continued Vogt. “It is
immediately open for geo-dispersion, for processes to be shared across multiple machine rooms and in the
cloud. It also enshrines agility into the infrastructure, because new functionality can be dropped in as it is required
and as it becomes available, without disruption and without losing any capital investment.” 4.A01
Vogt: Microservices enshrine agility into the infrastructure
Imagine Communications By Ian McMurray According to Charlie Vogt, CEO at Imagine Communications, the key to creating a powerful, flexible software-defined architecture is to build it from microservices. The wider IT industry knows this, he claimed. “It is the only way to create truly cloud-native solutions,” said Vogt. “Microservices have been at the core of nearly every successful and disruptive business of the past decade.” Microservices are compact single-function software components carefully tuned to perform a media function with extreme efficiency and reliability. The copmany said these self-contained services are the building blocks of cloud-native applications that provide media companies with the agility, scalability and flexibility they require. Imagine claimed it was pushing the innovation envelope even further through its Open Zenium programme. This allows third parties to share source code, enabling them to develop their own microservicebased solutions quickly and securely, adding specific functionality to meet particular requirements.

OUTLINED
‘One of the greatest enablers our industry has ever seen’ Keith Wymbs, chief marketing officer, AWS Elemental, an Amazon Web Services company Our industry is on a transition boundary: the digital era of television is rapidly shifting into the internet era as distribution of television embraces the global connectivity of the internet, and the end-consumer expectations that rise with it. What’s exciting is the potential to supercharge video providers’ ability to deliver more perfect experiences with one of the greatest enablers our industry has ever seen: the cloud. Cloud-defined video provides the technology and services platform to build agile and scalable digital businesses to continually delight end viewers with fresh experiences and the most relevant content.
45
AWS Elemental, an Amazon Web Services company, combines deep video expertise with the power of the AWS cloud. We’re teaming up to help customers solve their most difficult challenges as they transition to cloud-based workflows on their terms and at their pace. We’re working to make it easier and faster for customers to gain access to the elasticity and scalability of the cloud and go all in – or help customers make a stepwise transition when they are ready with continued support for on-premises solutions. The result is new opportunities for customers
in terms of rich new services, infrastructure functionality and flexibility, and monetisation. Live 4K streaming: Together with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and AWS Elemental, a major governmental agency streamed the first ever live 4K video from space to multiscreen devices across Earth earlier this year. The agency leveraged advanced video software and cloud-enabled workflows to enhance its ability to observe, uncover and adapt new knowledge of orbital and deep space. Content monetisation: One of the world’s largest cineplex chains is using an
integrated AWS and AWS Elemental solution to support its transactional video ondemand (TVoD) service with a platform for movie delivery to customers on a full range of connected devices across Latin America. The customer is able to further monetise content beyond theatre and concession sales and to save money by minimising data centre build out. Unified headend: A major telco is using AWS Elemental video processing for its live and on-demand video services. AWS Elemental unified headends support video processing in local markets
and national channel video processing at the telco’s super headend, and help the customer stream content to consumers’ smartphones, tablets and other personal devices. VoD assets that require dynamic scaling are transcoded using AWS Elemental Cloud. The AWS Elemental Delta video delivery platform supports just-in-time packaging and just-in-time digital rights management for the telco’s TV Everywhere app. I look forward to the true potential in cloud, and how advanced cloud-centric capabilities such as machine learning, artificial intelligence and advanced analytics can be combined with cloud video processing, server-side ad insertion and personalisation to further delight end viewers. 5.C80
The case for diopters stacks up Putting QoS in Verspective Verimatrix
Leica/CW Sonderoptic By David Fox Building on the success of the original Leica Cine MacroLux +1 diopter, CW Sonderoptic is introducing two new diopters in the line, a +2 and a +0.5, all of which can be stacked together. The three optics share the same mechanical housing, making them compatible with 95mm front diameter lenses.
The MacroLux +2 offers a greater macro effect for table top and close-up work, while the +0.5 provides more options for use with wide-angle lenses. Gerhard Baier, managing director, CW Sonderoptic, said: “Close focus wide angle cinematography is a very popular trend right now, and there is no easier way to bring that look to a large number of lenses than using the Leica Cine MacroLux +0.5. Plus, the fall off characteristics give a
feeling of increased aperture to any lens, even very wide focal lengths. “Adding the Cine MacroLux +2 was a must for completing this set,” he continued. “Even though all of these diopters can be stacked and combined, our clients doing macro work needed more flexibility and the +2 gives that to them because optically speaking, combining two +1s does not exactly equal +2. It’s closer to +1.7.” 12.B75

By Ian McMurray In addition to providing fully managed, cloud-hosted alternatives for Verspective, MultiRights OTT Plus and Video Content Authority System (VCAS) solutions with the Verimatrix Secure Cloud, the company is marking its official entrance into the internet of things (IoT) space with the launch of Vtegrity. The new cloud-based platform is said to offer advanced security for connected devices and services throughout the evolving IoT lifecycle. Verspective is described by Verimatrix as an extensible suite of offerings designed from the ground up to emphasise data security and integrity as a foundation for actionable intelligence. Following its recent acquisition of MiriMON client device data collection technology from Genius Digital, Verimatrix is introducing Verspective
RT which the company says is a new approach to resolving the quality of service (QoS) challenge. Verimatrix claimed that the products being demonstrated elevate its comprehensive approach to revenue security. According to the company, it is opening new opportunities via the cloud for operators to effectively optimise revenue security and improve their business agility. Verimatrix is also illustrating how it believes flexible, software-centric security architectures can help progressive operators simplify the realities of a complex, multi-network, multi-device, multi-DRM environment. The company is highlighting the role it believes it can play in revenue enablement and protection across major industry trends, including high-integrity video analytics, premium UHD deployments, app enablement for over-the-top video and more. 5.A59

The most recent 2.0 software release supports customisable layouts, up to 80 PIPs per head, and layouts are
now recallable via hardware and software panels, as well as third-party control systems. Todd Riggs, business development manager for global infrastructure, Ross Video, said: “Ultrix’s format flexibility permits SD, HD and 3G video signals to be used seamlessly in the same system as a standard feature, but any system can be updated incrementally to add 12Gbps signals throughout when there is the need to add UHD capabilities, with no change in hardware and using only software licensing.” The same 12Gbps licensing also provides Ultrix with the ability to simultaneously interface

with both 4K single link and quad link UHD signals with no need for convertors or extra components, which simplifies designs and makes it fully ready for IP/baseband hybrid facilities, said the company. Ultrix also includes Ultriclean as a standard feature, offering completely clean video switching which scales to offer as many outputs as
needed. Ross said there was no requirement for dedicated, special hardware with complex systemisation planned in advance. Another feature of Ultrisync is that it provides
software-enabled assignable input frame sync through licensing that can be applied to every input in the chassis. 11.C10

Placing the focus on practical innovation Charlie Vogt, chief executive, Imagine Communications This year’s IBC promises to be monumental. Not only will attendees be celebrating the 50th anniversary of what has become one of the most important events in the media and entertainment industry, there is also an excellent chance that media professionals, a few years down the road, will recognise IBC2017 as a significant milestone in the evolution towards a more agile and versatile technology foundation. Seeing is believing and attendees at this year’s event will have ample opportunity to witness compelling evidence that the future of television – the standards, tools and technology needed to build out the infrastructures that will drive their businesses forward – is within their grasp.
In addition to showcasing our broad and comprehensive solution portfolios, Imagine Communications is focused more than ever on sharing our customers’ success stories, delivering proof points that the vision we unveiled a few years ago has fully progressed from the theoretical to the practical. Speaking of practical, we will also be highlighting our commitment to the pragmatic side of innovation, which has always been about more than the latest technology at Imagine Communications. While we have rightly earned a reputation for offering the industry a bold vision of the future, we have never lost sight of the practical need to escort our customers through every step of their next-generation journeys.
Coming into IBC, media companies no longer have a need to be convinced of the capabilities of new technology or its suitability for handling even their most demanding workflows. Nearly all media companies now recognise that the move to commercialoff-the-shelf (COTS) equipment and IP architectures is inevitable — and a strategic imperative. What they enter IBC2017 hungry for is an understanding of how that technology can be practically applied to their specific business needs and how it can help them realise the agility and flexibility they will require to serve the increasingly demanding consumption needs of today’s and future viewers. In a cliché: this time it’s personal. No other creative medium is as dependent on technology for
its overall success as the media and entertainment industry. Imagine Communications will be showcasing solutions and hosting thought leadership sessions at our booth that demonstrate the power of practically applied innovation to enable media companies to explore new business models and monetisation opportunities – and even elevate their positions in the media industry value chain. Attendees who visit our stand will gain insight into how cloud-native and micro servicesbased solutions are making it possible for media companies of all sizes and from all regions to deploy new services and generate new revenue across live, playout, OTT and ad management operations. The words flexibility and future-proof will be on
Protection from production to consumer Conax
By Ian McMurray
Kristiansen: “Security breaches now occur at every step in the content lifecycle”
Here at IBC, the company’s new subsidiary DVnor is joining force with Conax to demonstrate protecting premium content through the entire value chain – from production to consumer. Featured at the show this year is combined technology from Conax, DVnor and other
Kudelski Group technologies, such as watermarking, analytics and anti-piracy services, that the company claimed provides the content distribution value chain with a crucial solution. Media asset management services provider DVnor offers the DVnor Organizer, which Conax described as a highly automated all-in-one platform for metadata and digital file management, transcoding,
storage, distribution and post-production services. Combining the content workflow from the DVnor Organizer with content security from Conax Contego makes the Conax and DVnor market offering highly valuable to an enlarged set of players in the value chain, according to Conax. Tor Helge Kristiansen, EVP principle architect at Conax, said: “The threats to the content
everyone’s lips at IBC2017. Customers crave solutions they can deploy in any environment, including SDI, hybrid SDI-IP, pure-IP, on-premises and in the cloud. They also need to know that the solutions they purchase today can evolve with their businesses, and are capable of seamlessly integrating the latest technologies and standards in lockstep with market demand. Fifty years in the making, the 2017 version of IBC is going to be one to remember. 4.A01
creation and distribution value chain are in continuous evolution. Security breaches now occur at every step in the content lifecycle. We have only experienced the beginning of this, and the value lost is rapidly increasing. At Conax, and together with the other entities in the Kudelski Group, we are seeing a clear need to expand content and revenue protection to cover all parts of the chain.” 1.C81

28-camera, 34-seat vehicles are already in operation, with two identical trucks nearing completion. Milan Milenkovic, project director for NEP Australia, said: “A centralised KVM system is essential to this design.” Singapore-based Mediacorp’s new production
centre is equipped with an IHSE Draco tera KVM matrix switch system for KVM control and access of remotely located broadcast servers. The news area has a fully redundant Draco tera enterprise KVM switching system. In the studio and radio areas, a similar, smaller set up was created around
Draco tera compact switches. Qvest Media teamed up with IHSE APAC’s local system integration partner Broadcast Engineering Services to design and deliver the systems. Japanese broadcaster Chukyo TV’s new broadcast complex has recently been upgraded with a IHSE Draco
tera KVM switching system. Working with the Chukyo engineering teams, local IHSE system integrator Itochu Cable Systems supplied and installed the system. The IHSE Draco tera KVM system was also installed in Abbey Road Studios’ newest film mixing stage in London. 7.B30

Doc o’clock: The tiny new TimeLord-µNet with GPS antenna
By David Fox It’s only a matter of time before all the broadcast electronics we rely on go out of sync with each other, unless there is a time signal to lock everything to. Conveniently, atomic reference clocks such as the GPS satellite system allow us do this, and the new TimeLord-µNet GPS-locked NTP time server provides a way to lock to it. As standard, TimeLord-µNet has an external GPS antenna and can be powered via PoE (power-over-Ethernet) or with an external mains supply. Vortex claimed it offers a cost-effective way of providing an NTP time source, especially across large sites, where individual TimeLord-µNets locked to GPS can be installed in each location. Vortex also has a re-engineered version of its TimeLord-Net, which can now can lock to GPS, MSF, DCF, EBU or IRIG and can be configured as an NTP Time Server to provide network time from an external reference, or as an NTP Time Client to lock to an existing NTP Reference. The modular TimeLord-Net provides outputs to drive digital displays, including the V-400A series, analogue clocks (with hands) and serial time data, EBU or IRIG Timecode and other time reference signals. As an NTP Client it offers a low-cost, comprehensive way to convert between reference signals, said Vortex. Also regenerating is the FLX-2 Virtual Clock and Timer system, which now uses the latest Android hardware to provide graphical clocks for display on low-cost HDMI screens.

DVB-T2 and HbbTV – a match made in heaven (and Germany) OUTLINED
Peter MacAvock, senior manager of delivery and services, EBU When HbbTV started its work on a hybrid TV standard back in 2009, the main focus was on providing a credible alternative to Teletext and facilitating over-the-top (OTT) services on TV sets. Not that exciting you would think, but it was driven by public service broadcasters anxious to provide a means of making their increasingly popular catch-up TV available on TV sets. Times have changed, Netflix is challenging pay-TV and free-to-air operators alike, and viewing habits show robust linear TV viewing and an explosion in mobile consumption. Where do broadcasters position themselves in all this? One might think that a public service broadcaster’s revenue is guaranteed and stable, but this is increasingly under threat. Paradoxically, public service media is suffering a funding crisis in many markets that threatens the quality content that is the backbone of the medium. Commercial broadcasters are suffering increasing competition from targeted internet advertising and pressure on their access to eyeballs from a plethora of different media services. Innovate or die is the motto, and we have already seen this happening among the broadcasters. The move of
BBC Three to online only is an example. The format of the channel has changed, but it has met with surprising success and its increased reach and ratings are a thunderous endorsement of the move. Forced by the need to cut costs it might have been, but it was a brave move nonetheless, and consequently rare in the broadcast world. Which brings me to the meat of this article, the relaunch of DTT services in Germany based on tight integration of DVB-T2 and HbbTV. Disregarding the platform’s popularity and reach, one wonders whether it is the shape of things to come? Let’s look at this from a consumer’s perspective. With seamless integration between linear and online services through a backwards-compatible EPG, covering all the channels available across the DTT platform, the dream of the blurring between online and broadcast is now a reality. You might say that YouView pioneered this a long time ago, but it is now possible in a free-to-air market based on a combination of open standards. Add to this the brave decision to focus the service on 1080p 50 HEVC coded video – which looks very good on consumer
4K displays by the way – and you have a truly modern media experience in the living room. I might be exaggerating somewhat, of course, but we should not underestimate the strategic importance of German DTT. With seamless integration between linear and non-linear, and a network operator taking a substantial proportion of the financial risk involved, broadcasters can be more relaxed about the multi-platform
delivery approach. And what of OTT? Some broadcasters are offering their OTT services to pay-TV providers and use the service as a revenue generator, but this is not possible in all markets. If OTT is an integral part of the future of broadcasting, and media organisations would like to exploit the flexibility offered by broadband delivery over broadcast, then the seamless integration now enjoyed by German audiences becomes a

12G, as well as optional supply power from the base unit to the transmitter and camera via SMPTE hybrid cable.

The main value proposition of the VB-3800 Series revolves around its adaptability of signal type and count for both new and existing camera models. Its compact
cornerstone of a broadcaster’s future distribution strategy. In the world of pay-TV, this seamless integration is already taken for granted. It has to be. As one industry observer recently put it to me: “Our linear business is very profitable, but it’s changing. Broadband is the way it’s moving, and the margins are much tighter, but we don’t have a choice. You can’t hold back the tide, you must surf the wave.”

By Ian McMurray The large-scale media solutions provider is at IBC to demonstrate the range of its systems based on the Quadriga migration technology. These have been developed with the research and development departments of the Institut für Rundfunktechnik and the Fraunhofer Institute. Cube-Tec offers separate, highly specialised Quadriga solutions for audio, video and film-based carrier collections. The company said Quadriga•Audio is widely used throughout the world for quality controlled large-scale migration from physical audio carriers. Tom Lorenz, managing partner, Cube-Tec, said: “Quadriga•Video has inherited the same magical properties [as previous Quadriga solutions]. With constant monitoring of VTR interactive status reporting, advanced RF level surveillance and real-time AV signal analytics, an operator can supervise four VTR playback devices with a single standard PC workstation using the playback-while-recording mode. Quadriga•Video is well on course to follow in Quadriga’s successful footsteps.” According to Cube-Tec, its products are in use at leading media companies and government archives, with installations in more than 100 organisations in 22 countries. The company is a member of various European research projects and involved in international media standardisation activities at SMPTE, AMWA and the EBU. 5.C41

Eurovision Media Services: Innovating across the value chain OUTLINED
Interview with Graham Warren, chief operating officer, Eurovision Media Services For more than 60 years, Eurovision Media Services (EMS) – the business arm of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) – has been at the forefront of technological advancements when it comes to handling sports, news and entertainment content. To find out more about the media services EMS delivers – from content production and broadcast services to content distribution and permanent circuits – the IBC Daily hears from its COO, Graham Warren.
What would you say makes EMS unique? Whether it’s over satellite, fibre or IP, we deliver thousands of hours of premium live sports, news and cultural events each year. Our unique selling point is our ability to understand media organisations better than most. We have an unparalleled network – 73 Members in 56 countries in Europe and an additional 34 Associate Members in Asia, Africa and the Americas. This diversity drives us to foster a culture of innovation that leads to the development of new products and services that meet the needs of our members and clients.
What are you doing differently from last year? This year we are much more focused on platforms. Personalisation has become a key aspect of today’s programming and we see more integration than ever before between the linear and non-linear world. We’re placing more emphasis this year on helping our clients – sports federations and media organisations – to focus on their audiences and deliver additional content online and through social media in addition to their traditional channels.
What have been the highlights for EMS since IBC2016? Since IBC2016, we’ve been busy. To name just a few of
69 IBC D1 2017 v1JRJMcK.indd 1
our activities, in October we provided host broadcasting and tailor-made services to the 2016 Road World Championships in Doha. Then there was the US election of Donald J. Trump where our teams helped media organisations to deliver 24/7 programming live from key sites. Earlier this year, we also managed the global multiplatform media rights and provided a wide range of services for the International Biathlon World Cups, and this summer we were the host broadcaster for the 17th FINA World Championships in Budapest and Balatonfüred.
How is the role of a media services provider changing? The media industry is rapidly changing. As media organisations move online to offer additional on-demand services to audiences, it’s clear that data is the currency to watch. We have the technical means to make additional content and data available to our clients in the highest quality so they can then enhance their offerings to audiences online.
Are you introducing any new products this year? If so, what distinguishes this new product from others already on the market? Today, nearly anyone can send their content over the internet. However, this is not a full solution for media organisations who need to receive their content in broadcast-compliant formats that can be used on different devices. Eurovision FLEX – our latest self-managed digital transmission tool – allows a camera operator to send live and recorded content directly through their Eurovision FLEX encoder over the internet to a Eurovision FLEX receiver at their HQ or any standard broadcast receiver using our
Media Access Gateway. In addition, we have now created a Eurovision FLEX Platform so that media organisations can easily execute complex workflows and manage their own live transmissions. Stop by Stand 10.F20 for a demo.
What technology trends do you feel are doing the most to shape the media landscape? We saw a new generation of immersive media technologies come to market recently. VR, AR and 360º video gained momentum but we’re still waiting to see the impact and emergence of more content. The industry
is starting to embrace more cloud-based services and software-defined products. And the next generation of IP-based studios and broadcast facilities are starting to take shape. The challenge for media organisations is now to leverage these developments.
To what do you attribute your company’s success? Our people. We have a diverse team which is always ready to go the extra mile and is very talented and well motivated.
What are your plans for IBC2017? This year we will showcase everything Eurovision Media
Services has to offer. Drop by the stand to speak with one of our team.
What is your outlook for the next year? Full of potential. In August 2018, we will be the broadcast partner and host broadcaster for a new major multi-sport event: the European Championships. Seven European Federations, two Host Cities (Glasgow and Berlin) and the EBU are all working closely together to ensure compelling coverage for an estimated global audience of more than 1 billion viewers.

OUTLINED
The importance of converging IP-based audio and video Andreas Hilmer, director of marketing and communications, Lawo With budgets unprecedentedly tight, broadcasters are under mounting pressure to simultaneously grow audiences and raise both technical and content quality. This scenario is driving growth in cross-platform media, supported by production systems sufficiently flexible and efficient to supply content regardless of the delivery channel. Convergence of IP-based audio and video are central to achieving these aims, as are major advances in remote broadcast production. Lawo is at the forefront of developing and commoditising IP-based technologies and software virtualisation, which have been successfully applied by NEP in the Netherlands and Proximus in Belgium, and in high-profile live and sports productions including MotoGP
and The World Games. They have also been adopted by commercial, educational and state broadcasters around the globe, and incorporated into live sound installations at major venues including the Philharmonie de Paris and the Elbphilharmony in Hamburg. With broadcasters wary of proprietary technologies that may lock them into specific manufacturers’ interests and fortunes, open standards and off-the-shelf technologies are high on their agenda – including ST2110 and COTS computing platforms. Lawo’s V__matrix, which is the infrastructure solution for NEP Australia’s new facilities, is an example of combining open standards-based signal routing with software-defined processing capacities resulting in a new and efficient system design.
As today’s broadcast environment demands content production from fewer staff and in shorter cycles, equipment must be intuitive and easy to operate and feature rich, with automated functions and customisable workflows that speed content production. This applies equally across all broadcast segments – and IP-capable control systems like our VSM leverage this potential. IP has been an integral part of Lawo’s product strategy since its very early days. The company initiated the development of the Ravenna standard behind AES67, and Lawo is a founding member of MNA and AIMS, as we believe that the adoption of common and ubiquitous open standards is in the best interests of both vendors and customers.
Cy-RCP adds value to Le Mans coverage CyanView
We have been working on the convergence of IP-based audio and video systems for many years. All of our video, audio and control product lines are IP-based, bringing unprecedented opportunities for broadcasters in the integration of systems, the use of resources and the increase in production efficiency. At IBC we are discussing the industry’s migration to Broadcast 3.0, based on IP transport, software-defined processing, orchestration and seamless control of network resources, and automated workflows. Lawo’s IBC set-up demonstrates merged infrastructure for audio, video, data and control in practical applications. We are presenting additional features to the

Racing towards success with CyanView at the 24 Hours of Le Mans
David Bourgeois, founder and CEO of CyanView, said: “In a race taking place day and night, non-stop, you need to have full control of the onboard cameras, and one single operator has to follow all 17 cars. That meant we needed to overcome two important challenges. The first was to integrate with VSM, which made rapid adjustment of each individual camera very fast, and with no need to look at the RCP. The second was to integrate with AMP Visual TV’s HF system, as well as with each camera’s unique protocol.
“IBC is a great place to discuss with visitors the new opportunities that the Cy-Stem range brings, [and which] enable real innovation in OB coverage,” added Bourgeois. “For me, the 24H was especially gratifying because it demonstrated that the concepts and prototypes we have been working on, and that we are announcing here at IBC, [will] deliver outstanding results in the real world. It was, according to the operators I spoke to, life changing, making their jobs substantially easier.” 10.D31

New company CyanView is talking to visitors about its experience at the 24 Hours of Le Mans (24H) in June. For the first time, a production version of the CyanView Cy-RCP universal remote control panel, designed to enable the control of multiple cameras, was deployed. The Cy-RCP is part of the company’s Cy-Stem range that is being launched at IBC. It comprises a series of small hardware modules that address three key areas – control, image quality and content transport – for outside and live broadcasting, such as sporting events and TV game shows. IP based, it is suitable for remote production and features physical buttons, rather than a web interface. At the 24H, the Cy-RCP was used to control the AMP Visual TV cameras mounted onboard 17 cars.
V__matrix software-defined IP core routing and processing platform including a virtual multi-viewer module. Furthermore, we are showcasing our Seamless Orchestration and Unification Layer (SOUL) as an overarching orchestration service for IP-based production environments. Our flagship mc²96 Grand Production Console is also on display. This product is designed to provide optimal performance in IP video production environments through features like LiveView video thumbnails, IP-Share gain compensation and native support for SMPTE 2110, AES67, Ravenna and Dante.
Matrox reports that its Extio 3 IP KVM product line could extend a single 4Kp60 4:4:4 video signal – or four 1080p60 4:4:4 signals – along with keyboard, mouse, stereo audio and USB 2.0 over standard Gigabit Ethernet at low bitrates. Designed with collaboration in mind, Extio 3 provides a secondary H.264 proxy video stream, compatible with H.264 software and hardware decoders, enabling users to
view a selected desktop on mobile devices, record it to a network attached storage, or display it on a videowall. Also on its IBC stand, Matrox is showing its Maevex 6150 quad 4K enterprise encoder appliance, developed for quad 4K input capture and encode, supporting at least four concurrent 4K streams and recordings, simultaneously. Multiple flavours of SMPTE 2110 IP cards, including its DSX LE4 IP and X.mio3 IP cards, are also featured on the stand. 7.B29

easier and faster installation, claimed the company. They lend themselves to modular installation, either one above the other or alongside each other, for improved radiation outputs, higher antenna gain and special diagram requirements. Broadcasters benefit from a cost-effective broadband antenna solution for the transmission of digital television channels in the UHF frequency range between 470MHz and 790MHz, said Kathrein.
There are three DC output plugs for powering ancillaries, including a D-Tap advanced connector which allows you to use a low-cost charger. And there’s even a small torch built in to help you find items in the dark. Admit it, that’s all pretty clever.

D-Tap advanced charges ahead OUTLINED
IDX Technology Europe By David Fox There are eight new battery products being launched by IDX at IBC. Probably the most significant are the IPL-98 and IPL-150 Powerlink batteries. When they are stacked on a camera, power is drawn from the rear battery rather than all simultaneously and it can be exchanged when
discharged allowing shooting to take place uninterrupted. Digital data is supported and a budget IDX battery, like the Cue-D150, can be stacked on the back of an IPL. Up to eight IPLs can be stack charged on the VL-2000S two-channel charger, avoiding the need to get up during the night to swap empty for charged batteries. A lightweight low-cost charging option is also possible through
the D-Tap advanced socket. The IPLs also have USB and D-Tap and a built in V-Torch, for working in the dark. The Duo-C98 and Duo-C198 are upgrades to the existing 95 and 190 models, with increased capacity plus digital data to accurately show when a battery will need changing. Also added are a V-Torch and D-Tap advanced connector. Also new are the 48Whr SBU-50 (Sony BPU form

By Ian McMurray The first presentation of the new GPIO function live and in action is being given by G&D at IBC. The function enables users to transmit relevant Tally Light information to a remote workstation and to indicate the active ‘on air’ system. G&D Matrix systems give several users access simultaneously on the same computer, or on different computers in studios or OB vans. The company describes a situation in which the computer is ‘live’ on a programme and a producer is making undesired changes on this system. The big advantage – that the computers are externalised by
Tally switch states are transmitted from the computer via the KVM matrix
KVM and various systems can be made flexibly accessible – has until now had one disadvantage, it said. On the remote computer, there was an on-air signal, typically in the form of a Tally Light, so additional technology and much expense was required to also show this at the workplace. Thus, it was not only the distance that needed bridging, but the Tally controller also needed to know on which computer the user was situated.
G&D has developed a specially customised function for such cases to transfer the GPIO status. The GPIO changer is also said to make technical installation easier. Tally switch states are transmitted from the computer via the KVM matrix and the information is made available to the user at the console. The connected ‘ON AIR’ light informs the producer when a computer is live on a programme. 1.B10

Snapbox for a soft light on the tiles OUTLINED
DoPchoice By David Fox Snapbox is a new soft box system for flex-, tube-, mat- and light-tile-style LED fixtures. It can open and be deployed in seconds to create a smooth diffusion box that mounts over standard frames to soften the light emitted from the raw LEDs. As flexible LED panels, light tiles and tube-shaped fixtures are popular for their convenience and ability to be set up in a variety of sizes, but they can be harsh without some diffusion, and Snapbox said it offers a neat solution. The front panel is made of highly reflective ‘magic cloth’ material stretched tightly across the rectangular front for even and optimum diffusion. The sides can control spill via removable fabric panels. Each comes with two sets of
interchangeable side panels. One of ‘magic cloth’ for ambient light and the second an opaque black/metallic fabric with a reflective interior to amplify light and a black layer that cuts all spill. The Snapbox is available in three sizes. The 4x2 is 123cm long, 62cm wide and 32cm high, and weighs 2.75kg. The 3.7kg 4x4 is 123x122x32cm, while the 8kg 8x4 is 209x122x31cm. 12.D39

Dean Wales, head of marketing and PR, Screen Subtitling Systems, said: “When using the high-quality audio typical of a live broadcast television programme,

the Speechmatics system returns extremely fast and accurate transcripts that are immediately converted into subtitles and transmitted with the TV service. “In addition, the integration will allow the automated production of accurate transcripts for live TV programmes, enhancing search and archive possibilities for live TV content,” added Wales. Screen Systems is also announcing a new initiative with Institut für Rundfunktechnik to offer a subtitle file validation service through the online toolkit, created in development with fellow subtitling technology company OOONA. This is also being demonstrated on the company’s IBC stand. Initially targeted at the IMSC 1 format of subtitle content used by major content providers, the service performs a number of tests covering both standards

HTS By Mark Hallinger Smart Air is an analytical tool to help television channels study their recent broadcasting schedule and programming policy, and it is being showcased at IBC2017. It gives users access to extensive information on current
and past broadcasts. They can view almost instantaneously a recording of a programme, its history and description, ratings, and related promotional materials or graphics. This integrated knowledge makes it possible to cut back on routine operations and gives a clear picture of the quality of the programming. HTS said Smart Air was built to increase workflow efficiency
in analysis and planning the airtime schedule. To deal with this task, the company has combined the viewing of recorded media, linked with airtime schedule, and descriptive metadata for the programmes, announcements, graphics and ratings. The system allows synchronised working with descriptive metadata in both

Cyber security: it’s serious now OUTLINED
Lorenzo Zanni, research analyst, IABM Cyber attacks have become a major concern for broadcasters and media companies who are rapidly coming to terms with how exposed they are and how much is at stake. That’s why Friday’s C-Tech Forum at IBC is wholly given over to the subject, bringing together chief technology officers, chief information officers, chief information security officers and chief data officers to discuss the threat, preventative strategies and how to manage a breach in the event of an attack. You may not hear about attacks on media companies that often because the damage to reputations is at the very least highly embarrassing, but they are happening, with increasing frequency. Attacks can be politically motivated, as organisations that don’t share a particular broadcaster or media company’s view of the world try to shut down their operations and damage their infrastructures and reputations. More often financial gain is the motive – ransoming assets for example, or obtaining customer
personal and financial data for criminal exploitation. Even a grudge or grievance can be the starting point for a highly damaging cyber-attack. Recently there has been a growing number of well-publicised ransomware attacks where cyber criminals encrypt a company’s data and will only release the key to unlock it following payment of a ransom – nearly always in near-untraceable bitcoins. Out of date operating systems or security are often blamed for giving cyber criminals easy access; indeed, in response to the WannaCry ransomware attack in May this year, Microsoft quickly released a patch for its antiquated Windows XP operating system to help protect the many people and organisations around the world who were still using it. According to the IABM’s End-User Survey data, company size matters a great deal in cyber security. In fact, most organisations with fewer than 500 employees have not experienced any cyber attacks
in the past three years, while organisations with more than 500 have; for organisations with more than 10,000 employees the “yes” percentage skyrockets to 83 per cent! Moreover, most end-users (74 per cent) consider it a top strategic priority in broadcast and media technology procurement. Recognising this growing threat to its members’ businesses, the EBU published a series of recommendations on cyber security in 2016, including R143 – ‘CyberSecurity recommendations for media vendors’ systems, software & services’. You can find it at https://tech.ebu.ch/ groups/mcs. Vendors already, of course, have to conform to environmental standards, while end-user broadcasting and media companies will soon start setting their own security standards, and the EBU R143 gives a good idea of what these are likely to contain. Most intrusions come through the back office, so a new level of co-operation is required between IT-based
€900,000 ESA contract awarded Livewire Digital By Ian McMurray The European Space Agency has awarded LiveWire a €900,000 contract to accelerate the development of the company’s new RazorLink Smart Networking technology. The technology is designed to provide users, including broadcasters, with seamless access across 3G, 4G, WiFi, DSL cellular networks and satellite, delivering failover and aggregated bandwidth – all without the need to reconfigure equipment or change applications. Claimed by the company to be ‘of significant value’ to news crews reporting on breaking news stories in harsh, remote or war-torn environments, the new technology is said to

achieve the headline objective of 5G – offering a seamless, carrier-agnostic transition between terrestrial and satellite communications. The fund, which has been drawn from the Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems (ARTES) programme – ESA’s long-running, large-scale programme to support the development of advanced satcom products and services – will be used to accelerate enhancements to RazorLink’s protocols, scaling for SaaS and cloud service offerings as well as integration with backend infrastructure to facilitate deployment in telecom operators’ networks.

end users and online technology suppliers. The cyber security options for end users range from using in-house resources to relying on their cloud provider. It is perhaps counter-intuitive to use an outside resource, but cloud providers have hundreds of staff, in some cases dedicated full time, to ensuring the security of their clients’ operations; their business after all depends 100 per cent on preventing problems. Steve Reynolds, chief technology officer at Imagine Communications, agrees: “The cloud is more inherently secure than a private data centre. Thousands of people at Google, AWS, Microsoft etc. have business cards with ‘security’ in their job titles – these companies understand how central security is to their and their customers’ businesses. A broadcaster may have a full-time staff but not at the same scale.” Imagine Communications has also experienced a marked increase in customer awareness

on cyber security. “This spans our full range of customers across origination, content creation, production and distribution,” said Reynolds. “All are worried about security because their platforms are now more open and better connected – which are huge operational advantages, but also bring security-related concerns. Every broadcaster has an understandable fear of an external agent being able to take their own content live to air in the broadcaster’s name.” Don’t wait for someone else to set the rules for security compliance – work on security now to get ahead of the curve. If you don’t embrace this early on, playing catch-up will be painful. To run a facility efficiently today, you need to know where everything is and what goes with it (metadata etc.) – so the back office simply has to be connected to front office operations; this is the way in for cyber criminals. It’s become a serious problem. If you’re not already on top of it, you need to act now.
A set-top box that combines OTT services with live broadcast TV and PVR and makes the content available across multiple devices is being shown at IBC2017. The VBox UHD gPVR gateway is based on the Android operating system and integrates with quad DVB and ATSC tuners. It has a HDMI port to connect to a TV with transcoding available to support other devices and network conditions. For pay-TV content protection there are optional CI+ and
digital rights management configurations. Recording can be done to an internal SD card, USB attached storage or network storage. Amir Aharonovich, vice president of marketing, VBox, said: “Future growth in European TV will be driven by new services, as operators look to manage the proliferation of lower-cost offerings. This is an exciting time for the industry. There are multiple opportunities for growth, and the new VBox UHD gPVR will enable TV operators to support new viewing behaviours, utilising existing infrastructures.” 3.B56

Smart tech ticks Czech box for WiFi OUTLINED
SoftAtHome
By Ian McMurray The successful launch of O2 Smart Box in the Czech Republic is being highlighted at IBC by SoftAtHome. The unit brings WiFi performance of up to 250Mbps with VDSL3 and smart home services, including home security, remote control for home appliances and lights, and
fire alarm, to O2’s Czech customers. Other services will be announced soon. According to SoftAtHome, WiFi quality and performance issues are estimated to generate over 120,000 customer service requests a year in the Czech Republic. O2’s new box is designed to address this by giving customers the ability to control the quality of their network and manage their digital home
devices, including game consoles, tablets, smartphones and smart TVs. Based on the Broadcom BCM63138 chipset, the gateway displays time, weather and temperature information on its screen. As a home network router, it offers 4Gbps Ethernet connectors and dual-band WiFi with a theoretical throughput of 2.2Gbps/1740Mbps at 5GHz. To maximise coverage, a set of
integrated antennae using 4x4 MU-MIMO and beamforming technology are said to ensure a stable signal even when connecting multiple users. David Viret-Lange, CEO, SoftAtHome, said: “We are really pleased that O2 has placed its faith in our technology. This deployment illustrates how important WiFi and IoT have become for subscribers.” 5.A51

What is broadcasting today? OUTLINED
Stan Moote, chief technology officer, IABM While the word ‘broadcasting’ has come to be commonly accepted over the years as meaning ‘one-to-many via a transmitter’, a true definition of the term is ‘to cast or scatter in all directions’. This leads me to believe that delivery via the internet fits within this meaning too. So what is the resistance to calling any form of programme delivery broadcasting? It appears to come down to the concept of ‘on-demand’. Broadcasting is considered as linear programming and on-demand is, by definition, non-linear programming. These beliefs remind me of the ‘religious’ wars the telco industry had over ATM vs MPLS (Asynchronous Transfer Mode vs Multiprotocol Label Switching), or for that matter even DSL vs DOCISS. Frankly today, none of that really matters anymore – it is not about the technology, it is about suiting the needs of the end user. We don’t care if our data-carrying technique is ATM or MPLS, we care about passing data around based on assured
results. It is up to the providers to decide on the technologies used to please their customers. So why pigeonhole broadcasting? OTT has progressed to include live distribution of content. Yes, it perhaps isn’t always 100 per cent as reliable as traditional transmitters, but this is rapidly changing. Can you expect your TV to work if you have a poor antenna or cable system connected up with bad coax, or trees waving with the wind in front of your satellite dish? Certainly not, so why should you expect OTT to work over unprovisioned networks? The fact is we do expect this, and frankly, with the improvements with MPEG-DASH and caching, it is amazing how reliable Internet delivery has become. That being said, viewers still, of course, need to have a reliable service at their end, just as they need proper antennas and coaxes for OTA, cable or satellite delivery. OTT set-top boxes are rapidly taking over traditional distribution even for linear programming.
According to Leichtman Research Group, the USA’s largest cable TV providers, who represent around 95 per cent of the cable market, had 48.6 million subscribers at the end of March this year while Netflix had 50.9 million customers. Compare this to five years ago when cable had more than double the number of Netflix subscribers. Netflix stated clearly this year that it is not heading into providing live streaming. We need to get over the mindset of broadcasting versus on-demand. Most linear programming has been well prepared and stored up on a server waiting for its time-slot to be aired. Essentially the only reason it is not on-demand is purely for the purpose of paid advertising timeslots; whether I watch it from a transmitter (at the appropriate time), stream it live or see it later – it is still the same programme being ‘broadcast’. My point is, any type of programme distribution from now on should be considered as broadcasting. Even die-hard broadcasters now cater to OTT
MOM takes control of audio NTP Technology
The AX32 can be used for processing immersive audio formats such as Dolby Atmos
By Mark Hallinger The latest enhancements to the company’s DAD AX32 A/D and D/A converter are on show. The AX32 is designed for broadcast, recording or mastering applications where 8 to 48 channels of analogue inputs or outputs are needed. New features include Dante/AES67 to MADI audio-over-IP connectivity. New for the AX32 is the MOM (monitor operating module), a standalone control unit providing various adjustments for studio control room level, cut, mute, talkback and speaker reference level. Source and speaker select buttons can be configured to any Pro Mon 2 input source and speaker or monitor output.
86 IBC D1 2017 v1JRJMcK.indd 1
Two new input/output option cards for the AX32 are now available: a dual MADI module plus an eight-line AES3 (AES/ EBU) module with optional sampling-rate conversion. Eight cards can be accommodated in a single AX32, supporting up to 16 MADI channels or 64 stereo AES3 channels in addition to the built-in three MADI and eight stereo AES3 I/O. With the addition of the new cards, the AX32 can be
used for processing stereo, surround-sound or 3D immersive audio formats such as Dolby Atmos. Mikael Vest, sales director, NTP Technology, said: “Immersive audio adds hugely to the impact film producers can deliver to cinema audiences. Object-based processing allows very precise three-dimensional control of vertical as well as lateral sound positioning.” 8.B51
feeds for catch-up or mobile viewing of linear feeds. The issue at hand is no longer the technology used for programme distribution; it is strictly on the business side. And the business side is currently stressed over this concept. Traditional broadcasting costs are fixed – we understand the capex for the playout equipment, master control, transmitters and facility charges along with the electrical and staff needed to run the operation. Selling advertising alongside traffic and billing is again well understood. Ratings are always in question, however, in the business sense, the process is agreed upon. We have been doing traditional broadcasting for years and it is now increasingly being referred to as ‘managed delivery’ or ‘managed linear’ rather than just plain broadcasting. With traditional broadcasting or ‘managed linear’, the number of viewers watching is not a cost variable – it is a profit indicator. With OTT (unmanaged delivery) it is both a cost and a profit indicator; delivery costs aren’t
fixed. Estimates need to be made to calculate the number of viewers and where these viewers are, geographically. This is a complete mind-set change that chief financial officers and chief technology officers need to figure out together in conjunction with their entire operations. Just a couple of stats to put things into perspective. Thinktank IDATE forecasts that the global video on demand sector revenue for 2017 will be €34bn with €25.2bn of it being from OTT (i.e. over the internet). Big numbers! However, IDATE also forecasts that ‘managed linear’ will still account for 82.3 per cent of global TV industry revenue in 2022 regardless of the delivery path, with on demand just 17.3 per cent. Whatever you call it, managed linear is not going away any time soon – despite the continuing explosion of ondemand services and viewers. Bottom line – the fact still remains that content is king, not how it gets distributed. So why not consider calling all types programme distribution, broadcasting.
Global video distribution simplified MX1 By Ian McMurray The latest enhancements for the MX1 360 media services platform are being demonstrated on the company’s stand. The platform is designed to streamline content management and distribution by handling the entire workflow chain via a combination of cloud technology and on-premises infrastructure. MX1 is also talking to visitors about several recent customer deployments for the platform. The demonstration highlights how broadcasters and other content providers can simplify content preparation, packaging, management, validation, playout and OTT multiscreen delivery. Several new features are being shown that MX1 claimed can simplify global video distribution. Powered by hybrid
cloud and on-premise software and infrastructure, MX1 360 is claimed to enable users to reach a wider audience, better monetise media and video assets, and deliver a superior viewing experience. According to the company, the MX1 360 has been deployed by global broadcasters, TV channels, content and rights holders, TV service providers and distributors. The platform can be used as part of a fully managed service or a self-serve model, making it flexible. By implementing it, content providers can access, monitor and interact with their content from virtually anywhere in the world; functionality, the company said, was critical as content providers look to expand their brand globally and increase revenue streams. 1.B24

theibcdaily OPINION OUTLINED
Viewers do not watch TV, they consume content Broadcasting is no longer about filling linear channels with content. It’s about getting the content to the right audience throughout its lifecycle in a way that makes economic sense, argues Michel Beke, SVP of product strategy at MediaGeniX Not more than a decade ago, the pressure was on single-channel broadcasters to offer more content to smaller segments of the population. In response, multi-channel broadcasting quickly became the norm. The next revolution for linear channels was catch-up services and PVRs that gave the viewers more control over when they watched their favourite content. Nowadays, viewers increasingly turn to the internet where social media and new VOD services are prolific in offering a wide range of content,
spanning user-generated clips about cats falling into a fish tank, to quality content from broadcasters, such as news, talent shows or high-end drama. Consumer behaviour is changing drastically as they adopt new technology, prompting broadcasters to keep reinventing themselves and their business model. Understanding the viewer is key to cope or even thrive in this new world. Live shows, news, sports and premieres of popular series still draw viewers in droves to the ‘a’ screen. The volume of such must-see live
content is limited, however. To fill the rest of their viewing time consumers are turning more and more to on-demand content and watching the content that they like, when they like. So how should broadcasters offer their content to the viewers? The answer is: in as many ways as possible. Decisions will have to be made from the content’s point of view, no longer by only analysing which loyal viewers are watching their channels at what time of day. The audience has grown too diverse, too mobile,
with so many video sources at their disposal. Broadcasters will need to have a closer look at the content they can offer that fits their mission, vision and business model. What rights do they have to the content? What distribution platforms are available and through which technique can they serve their business goals best with each title? Maybe it is on a premium pay service, or on Facebook or YouTube, maybe on a linear channel or by selling the content to another company.
Big live sports events, blockbuster movies, vintage series and movies, game shows and soaps, old content or new, public service or commercial: all will require a different approach. This change will require broadcasters to reinvent their businesses. They will have to get new software and broadcast systems to efficiently run their current mix of VoD and linear business that offer the flexibility to incorporate new services and channels to meet the needs of the future consumer head on. 3.C59
Handy satellite terminal ready to travel Paradigm By Ian McMurray Claimed to be the perfect solution for broadcasters wanting to be first on the scene, Paradigm is showcasing its new Swarm45 satellite terminal. The lightweight Swarm45 packs down into a backpack or hard case, so it is small and light enough to be transported as airline hand luggage, something Paradigm said was
a unique feature for a high-throughput VSAT. Deployment is said to be fast and straightforward, with setup achievable in 90 seconds. Even an unskilled operator can then be on the air in around 240 seconds, Paradigm claimed. This, it said, was due to the PIM (Paradigm Interface Module), a terminal controller that uses what the company described as ‘innovative and intuitive audio and visual cues’. Pointing is said to be quick
and simple, with no need for external pointing tools or a laptop. According to Paradigm, the Swarm45 integrates the latest in VSAT technology and high throughput, but is as simple to use as BGAN. It is configurable for Ka, Ku and X band frequencies, and operational on a range of high-throughput satellite networks, including Global Xpress, Avanti, Intelsat Epic and Telenor’s Thor 7. 1.F49

On the show floor the UK-based firm is demoing OnPoint, a production asset management module that now includes closer integration with Avid and Adobe editing systems, as well as improved logging and approvals processes. As with other Mediaflex-UMS applications, OnPoint can be deployed on-premise, in the cloud, or in a hybrid way, and is available as software as a service (SaaS) or platform as a service (PaaS). For digital asset management, TMD is showing Chameleon, an idiot-proof module designed to allow nontechnical staff to search and clip up media content and raise work orders. Carlton Smith, the chief executive of TMD, said: “Some users need to get a solution up and running quickly; others need to carefully tailor their system’s functionality. The unique power of MediaflexUMS is that users can start small and grow their asset management incrementally, as their needs develop.” The Mediaflex-UMS includes an analytics dashboard, also on show at IBC, that maintains a full audit trail of everything it does. A workflow engine for creating and modifying workflows in-house using a drag-and-drop user interface is also available.

The IP Showcase: back by popular demand! OUTLINED
Matthew Goldman, SMPTE president and senior vice president of technology, Ericsson The media and entertainment industry’s embrace of internet protocol (IP)-based infrastructure is no longer a future possibility; it is a reality now. Even as the industry makes its way towards a unifying standard for real-time media over IP, major North American and European broadcast companies are planning and commencing real-time IP production infrastructure projects. In fact, IP infrastructure is a hot topic for media organisations both large and small. Their intense interest in IP was evident at the inaugural IP Showcase at IBC2016 and again earlier this year when visitors to the 2017 NAB Show filled the aisles to watch IP Showcase presentations and demonstrations. Each event offered a holistic view of many industry groups’ efforts to promote and enable production, contribution and distribution workflows over IP, and at the 2017 NAB Show, more than 40 manufacturers
used the final draft of SMPTE ST 2110 standards to connect their systems. Building on the success of these earlier events, the Audio Engineering Society (AES), Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS), Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA), European Broadcasting Union (EBU), IABM, Media Networking Alliance (MNA), Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) and Video Services Forum (VSF) are working together to support the return of the IP Showcase at this year’s IBC show. Dedicated to informing visitors and highlighting the business and creative benefits of IP, the IP Showcase at IBC2017 will provide a unified industry-wide view of the latest advances in IP technology and how this technology can add maximum value to the broadcast industry and the individuals and organisations that drive it. The exhibition will present a collective and expert view of the most essential and exciting
developments and applications of IP. The IP Showcase will feature engineering progress along with real-world examples of IP applications from leading networks and programme producers. The exhibition also will assist broadcast/IT engineers, chief executives, producers and others in determining how they can leverage the benefits of ST 2110 standards. The SMPTE Standards Community has been working diligently to complete and publish the ST 2110 suite of standards, which allow for separate routing of real-time media over professional IP networks to support broadcast production and playout applications. Several of the ST 2110 standards documents are nearing completion, and publication via the SMPTE Digital Library is tentatively slated for later this year. Unleashing the full potential of IP in real-time media, ST 2110 represents a seismic shift in how media can be handled,
processed and transmitted. To give visitors a real sense of how the standards work, the IP Showcase will feature an array of interoperability demonstrations, divided into logical application pods — including live production signal flows, contribution and playout signal flows — and shown under the control of familiar user interfaces. Nearly 50 vendors will work together to demonstrate real-world IP interoperability based on the common roadmap. A full schedule of free seminars and panel discussions in the IP Showcase Theatre will offer engaging content ranging from advanced technical knowledge to stimulating creative-focused case studies to commercial and strategic keynotes. Visitors will hear about the rapidly increasing number of real-world IP deployments from broadcasters that have already embraced IP signal flows, plus lessons they can apply to their operations.
These accessible expert sessions will have something of value for broadcast professionals working across every specialty and degree of corporate responsibility. The focus of the IP Showcase is on educating and energising all show visitors to help build a more flexible, more efficient and more creative broadcasting industry that’s even better able to delight audiences and create value. More information on the IP Showcase can be found at https://show.ibc. org/ibc-features--events/ipshowcase. Visitors to the IBC2017 show also can attend a SMPTE conference session on the new ST 2110 suite of standards. Scheduled for Monday, 18 September, at 14:00, the session will provide an overview of the ST 2110 suite and describe how the tools within it can be used within an infrastructure of networked specifications to achieve agile and flexible solutions for professional media live production.
Flexible IP gateway in 1RU Redcap By Ian McMurray Designed for high-quality media real-time contribution with user reconfigurable hardware and software, the new generation of Redcap Ultrascale IP gateways is on show at IBC. They are said to turn a small 1RU box into a flexible platform able to exchange a range of content (from multiple HD and UHD up to 8K) with ultra low latency. The company claimed that the Redcap box is the world´s first gateway with the ability
91 IBC D1 2017 v1JRJMcK.indd 1
to manage up to 120fps video streams via multiple 12G-SDI interfaces. A very fast engine, together with what Redcap said was an extremely efficient JPEG2000 implementation, are claimed to make it an ideal platform for managing live multicamera broadcast events, mobile content acquisition and other professional workflows via simple and cheap IP solutions, instead of expensive OB vans. Jiri Vykydal, CCO, Redcap, said: “We are proud of our advanced IP technology, which opens many affordable
ways to improve worldwide tele-collaboration via real-time video communication and moves broadcast solutions and workflows forwards. Our fruitful co-operation with Swiss, Belgian and American partners brings innovative products for progressive users.” Also on show are Redcap’s new multi-channel Ultrascale IP media gateways with microwave technology that are designed to offer advanced solutions for wireless real-time media contribution.

From multicamera production to virtual sets OUTLINED
Datavideo By Carolyn Giardina Technology for 3D virtual studio production, 4K virtual multicamera production, and a 2x2 videowall processor are part of this year’s Datavideo lineup. This includes the KMU-100, a 4K multicamera production system. For use, the output of a single 4K/UHD camera is connected to the KMU-100, which then displays up to four 16x9 user-defined windows that are sent out as four separate HD signals through
HD-SDI. These user-defined windows can be scaled, and with the RMC-185 controller, users could select a particular subject on the 4K signal. An additional 4K camera could be connected to the KMU-100 to allow up to eight defined outputs from two 4K signals. Also on stand is the TVS-2000 3D virtual studio system, which features a chromakeyer that can be used in “simple chromakey” mode or an advanced mode, said Datavideo. In a tracking mode, the movement of the camera is followed by the 3D
rendered environment (this option requires the use of up to two Datavideo PTC-150 cameras). The system includes a 3D editing tool to create 3D virtual sets. Datavideo is also exhibiting its TWP-10 4K Video Wall Processor 2x2, a real-time videowall processor for up to four flat-panel displays. The TWP-10 allows users to input HDMI video up to UHD resolution. The embedded scaler converts signals from HDMI source to match the original resolution of monitors, flat-panel displays, projectors and user-selectable
Upgrade for miniHUB Norwia By Heather McLean A set of IP conversion products for the miniHUB platform to streamline conversion between IP and SDI transport streams has been announced. The new modules include a version that enables the multiplexing of 18 IP data streams into a single fibre stream, and a module for simple conversion from IP to SDI via fibre and vice-versa. These bundled versions are available with the RCONmini interface to enable simple configuration and standardisation on SMPTE 2022-6, with upgrade paths to SMPTE 2110, including HDR, to ensure future compatibility. Tore Steen, CEO, Norwia, said: “miniHUB has proven
extremely popular with our customers as a platform for transitioning existing SDI equipment into the IP domain. With these new upgrade modules, we extend the value even further by using the same core frames with updated modules that deliver an enhanced feature set.” Also on show are new higher density dual layer frames, extended SMC camera interface
support, and an enhanced software suite. Another highlight is a new 10G electrical Ethernet-to-optical solution for the miniHUB frame. It uses Norwia’s range of 10G approved optics that include standard 1310 optics or CWDM optics for multiplexing. The converter provides a non-evasive way of handling 10G data circuits without interference of content while providing accurate optical signal level measurements. 10.C10

Holdan’s Richard Payne demonstrating the new SmallHD Focus monitor
SmallHD By David Fox The SmallHD Focus DSLR monitor is the company’s new entry-level model and its first touchscreen unit. The low cost (£435+VAT), lightweight on-camera 5-inch 1280x720 IPS display is powered by a Sony NPF (L Series) battery and can also power a camera via its USB output. This is useful for extending run times on cameras such as Sony’s A7S (power kits are also available for Canon, Panasonic and Nikon cameras). It connects to the camera via a Micro HDMI input with port protection. “It comes with a lovely articulating mount with cold shoe for a microphone adaptor,” said Richard Payne, head of technology, Holdan, which is distributing the Focus. The Tilt Arm allows the Focus to tilt 180º for easier viewing, while clips on the back of the mount should help avoid getting cables tangled. It is daylight-viewable at 800 nits, “which is a lot brighter than usual at that price”, said Payne, and offers the same menus as SmallHD’s other models, with such features as waveform, false colour, focus assist, 3D LUTs, vectorscope, peaking. It also features pixel zoom, which allows users to pinch to zoom. “It can be used with UHD HDMI input, and will keep the quality as you zoom in,” said Payne. 12.E65

IP upgrade wins prompt attention OUTLINED
Portaprompt By David Fox An efficient IP prompting workflow is now available for Portaprompt’s Premium and Quasar prompting monitor ranges, WinDigi software and controllers, based on the replacement of its standard SDI card in the monitor with a new IP card. Scrolling and control takes place in the PC/monitors, so there is no need for external scrolling boxes. The wired and wireless hand and foot controls communicate via the IP prompting display
on the camera, back to the prompter PC in the gallery over the network, and everything can interface to MOS-based newsroom systems. Prompt and control signals are routed and assigned through the IP router using Portaprompt’s WinDigi Master PC Software, so any source can be assigned to any destination. Jim Keating, technical director, Portaprompt, said: “We have been looking at the role that IP networks can play in delivering advanced prompting in broadcast TV since IBC2015, when we signed up and trialled IP workflows with the IPPG
partnership led by Suitcase TV. What we are able to do, as prompt signals are essentially a low data service, is use off-theshelf IT technology and that is what we are launching today. “We have a lot of flexibility in our system and can basically allocate any control device to any prompting display and this can provide some real benefits for customers,” continued Keating. “For example, it means that the prompt operator can be based in studio while feeding the prompt signal to the presenter on location, saving travel and location cost.”
Future-proof FM codec GatesAir By Mark Hallinger The Intraplex IP Link MPXp is making its European debut, leveraging the strengths of previous IP Link codecs, including GatesAir’s Dynamic Stream Splicing technology. This can mitigate IP packet
loss and eliminate off-air time, and takes advantage of forward error correction and a trio of network interfaces for optimal stream reliability. It also empowers broadcasters with more signal transport options from a single box at historically low bitrates, said GatesAir. The initial April release of the MPXp significantly cut bandwidth

consumption for uncompressed AES-192 digital composite signal transport. The latest release further reduces those bitrates from 1.8Mbps to 1.65Mbps. This bandwidth efficiency opens more headroom for increased packet protection, as well as additional audio and data services, said GatesAir.
The company claimed that Intraplex IP Link MPXp is the first FM MPX IP codec to support – separately or together – AES 192 digital and analogue composite signals over a secure and reliable digital IP path from a single codec.

theibcdaily OPINION OUTLINED
Important trends taking shape and evolving Dave Frederick, senior director, media and entertainment, Quantum While not exactly new, the industry’s embrace of Ultra HD and high dynamic range (HDR) is clearly one of the bigger changes affecting our industry, regardless of the size of organisation. Using Quantum’s 4K reference architectures, which include disk-based systems and all-flash arrays, along with the enhanced capabilities of our new StorNext 6 release, content creators can achieve the efficient collaborative 4K workflows critical to being competitive in today’s media marketplace. StorNext 6 delivers an unmatched combination of high performance and advanced data management, making it ideal for 4K workflows. The power and capabilities of StorNext 6 are also available to media production organisations
of all sizes with the debut of Xcellis Foundation, a new edition of the award-winning Xcellis workflow storage system for smaller facilities and workgroups. Xcellis Foundation is a streamlined, full-featured shared storage system with StorNext 6 and integrated NAS connectivity combined into a single, easy-to-order and easy-to-deploy solution. A more recent trend is the industry’s shift in focus from storage capacity to data management. As storage capacity becomes cheaper, the value of the content within that data becomes more important, but that value can only be realised if the content owners can see and understand what’s in their digital media repository. To empower our customers to monetise their content as fully as possible, we’ve partnered
with leaders in artificial intelligence (AI) processing to enable straightforward, automated analysis of content libraries. These capabilities, including transcription, object detection and facial recognition, are powered by AI engines that enable robust metadata tagging, which in turn supports enhanced contextbased search and discovery capabilities. The benefits for users are faster, more efficient post-production workflows, and the ability to provide better ROI data to sponsors. At IBC2017, we’ll feature the integration of several AI engines with our Xcellis workflow storage, particularly the new aiWARE for Xcellis, a hybrid on-premise and cloud version of Veritone’s best-in-class cloud-based AI platform. This solution is especially compelling
Official launch for IP gateways Crystal Vision By Will Strauss A clutch of gateways that combine video-over-IP hardware with software-based processing are being given their official launch this week. The Crystal Vision devices can perform various tasks including status monitoring, clean switching, synchronising (including PTP support), delays and IP traffic shaping. They initially support the SMPTE 2022-6 and 2022-7 protocols and can be reconfigured via a software upgrade to support 2110. The company said that the gateways are ‘ideal’ for integrating SDI into an IP environment. One of the gateways, the SDI6-IP-VF, squeezes baseband SDI into IP to allow the transport of uncompressed video over 10GbE IP networks. It can
98 IBC D1 2017 v1JRJMcK.indd 1
convert up to six HD or SD or three 3Gb/s SDI input connections and allows assignment of the converted flows to either of the two output 10GbE links. A second device, the IP-SDI6-VF, de-encapsulates baseband SDI from 10GbE IP networks, converting to six HD or SD or three 3Gb/s SDI output connections.
In addition, there is an IP-IP-VF IP to IP translator that features four bi-directional 10GbE IP network interfaces. It is said to be ideal for applications where network settings need to be changed in some way, such as network address, multicast to unicast and protocol translation. 2.C28
in today’s environment because it allows media companies to process their expansive on-premise content libraries without the cost and hassle of moving content to the cloud. Integration of ground and cloud workflows is, of course, another key trend shaping the industry. StorNext 6 helps our customers bridge this gap smoothly. The FlexTier cloud access feature makes it easy to integrate existing public cloud storage accounts and third-party object storage (private cloud) into familiar media workflows. Content owners enjoy the content access and visibility provided by StorNext while protecting their investments in private cloud object storage systems and public cloud storage services. To address the shift

Delivering HDRlike experiences on legacy TVs Spectral Edge By Heather McLean While HDR technology delivers greater depth of colour and more vivid pictures, uptake has been limited. Pay-TV and OTT service providers are held back by restricted bandwidth and spectrum, as well as the capabilities of legacy TVs and set-top boxes, according to Spectral Edge. Launching here at the show, Vividteq from Spectral Edge overcomes these challenges, according to the company, allowing service providers to differentiate themselves and retain customers by enabling them to deliver HDR-like experiences on existing TVs and set-top boxes. With Vividteq, live video is processed and enhanced within the broadcaster’s network in real time using Spectral Edge’s image processing technology.

Presenting its DataMiner data centre and virtualisation solutions at IBC is Skyline Communications, a specialist in multi-vendor network management and orchestration platforms. Data centre technology is at the heart of any modern media operation, said the company, whether an organisation is a content creator, an aggregator or a service provider, the need for higher flexibility and scalability is ever present. However Skyline claimed virtualisation, high-speed IP switching and routing, and onand off-premises processing bring a number of challenges for monitoring, orchestration and media workflows. To
avoid getting lost in a sea of different management tools, controllers and so on, only a true end-to-end monitoring and orchestration platform can fill the gaps, the company added. According to Skyline, 360° visibility, orchestration and automation are essential to any NMS/OSS platform for media data centres. DataMiner not only controls and monitors each individual microservice (eastwest), but also understands how the individual layers in the stack work together to deliver the media service (north-south). Continued strategic innovation on the platform in areas of advanced analytics, end-to-end orchestration and automation, and gateway functions to broadcast OSS/BSS systems mean that DataMiner is able to handle full stack management, said the company. 1.A23

The future of television production? Quick-connect using AoIP TinkerList
Vortex Communications
By Heather McLean By David Fox During years of experience as a television director, Erik Hauters, owner of TinkerList, said he observed first hand the issues and frustrations that editors, creative writers, producers and directors experience. This gave way to TinkerList, an online unified platform for creative television makers, being demonstrated at IBC. Hauters said he noticed that television teams were always working with many different types of software, and they end up with a pile-up of different files, versions and media content. This makes it difficult to keep track of who is working on what, and the latest version of each script.

ering a complete or o
or t e creation o a tele i ion
Hauters claimed TinkerList solves this issue by providing an online environment that the entire team can work in at the same time, a complete workflow for the creation of a television show. TinkerList also facilitates the transition to recording and broadcasting; via the API, content can be shared
o
with any device in a studio environment and beyond. TinkerList provides an app to push content to a tablet, held by the talkshow host, and the possibility to prepare content for a teleprompter. Any changes to the content in TinkerList are kept in sync with all of these devices. 10.F42
The newly updated VX-4901 Intercom/Pushbutton Panel can now be used in conjunction with a Comrex Access or BRIC-Link codec to produce an IP intercom station. It was developed for Formula One through its partners Beta-6 and Tata to provide a low-cost IP intercom with high-quality audio. It can sit in a 1U rack with a Comrex BricLink-II codec and has ten pushbuttons, any of which can be assigned an address to provide one-button connection. Tapping the button locks the destination and the inbuilt microphone channel is live for open talkback, while holding
the button down provides push-to-talk. The VX-4901 includes a microphone preamplifier and stereo speakers plus stereo headphone output. As the VX-4901 pushbuttons can be individually programmed, it also provides a simple quick-dial panel for IP audio codecs, which tend now not to have any front-panel controls, giving one-button connection to multiple destinations by assigning different functions to each of the buttons. It does not need to be co-located with a codec, as connection for control is over IP. The VX-4901 can also interface to a Windows or Mac computer running Unity Intercom and operate as a hardware intercom panel for the workstation. 12.G11
Complementary community showcased Image Matters By Ian McMurray The origami Ecosystem – which connects audiovisual distributors, IP-core developers, hardware providers and tool vendors – was launched by Image Matters at NAB last year, and has a new booth at IBC2017.

OPINION The future is IP-based but how do we get there? OUTLINED
Stephan Krafft, vice president of marketing and technical sales, Rohde & Schwarz In recent years, IP-based production strategies have become more important and IBC2017 will be no different. The halls will resound with companies trying to make their voice heard above the clamour for attention. This poses a difficult challenge for visitors: which technology solution provider represents the best partner to help them chart a safe course towards their IP transition? Rohde & Schwarz arrives at IBC2017 reporting strong revenue and profitability growth. A diversity of new products has fuelled this growth in every geographic region worldwide. Our success
can be attributed in part to a long track record of innovation in the broadcast space, ranging from transmission solutions to file-based production tools. Our engineering, product and R&D teams have steadily evolved over many years, and this stability is reflected in the consistent adherence to a strategy that has drilled down deep within broadcast workflows. We have invested heavily in developing an IP strategy that builds on an extensive SDI heritage. Our customers appreciate Rohde & Schwarz’s commitment to being their partner for the long haul through the transition from
baseband SDI to IP-based video workflows. At Rohde & Schwarz, we have broadcast experience that stretches over many decades: our products are developed by several thousand dedicated R&D engineers in Germany. Furthermore, we are financially very stable in the long term, so we’re not distracted from executing on what we have committed to customers. We are very relevant to our customer base, and we take that role extremely seriously. Developing strategies that encompass IP-based technologies requires real insight and sometimes it needs us to acquire new skills,
experience and intellectual property. Sometimes new products evolve within our R&D team and sometimes we look outside our company resources. Based on our own experience of acquiring companies, we know that they have to be implemented carefully and strategically. Owning a new piece of intellectual property does not mean that you understand the market it serves nor that it will integrate harmoniously within existing product portfolios. Our customers know we listen to their input as they see new products consistently coming to market that reflect their requirements. Implied in that
equation is a trust that we will be around for years to come and that investing in products from Rohde & Schwarz is a smart decision long term. Many visitors to IBC this year are actively involved in developing their IP strategy and selecting their technology partners. We welcome you to visit our stand to learn about our IP strategies. We promise that it will be time well spent. 7.E25
Riding the SIP streams Lawo By Mark Hallinger The company’s R3lay virtual radio mixer software has been upgraded with the ability to use SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) streams as on-the-air audio sources. R3lay is radio software that enables broadcasters to build ‘virtual’ broadcast studios using desktop and laptop PCs.

New additions to 2/3-inch UHD lens range OUTLINED
Fujifilm Europe By David Fox Fujinon has introduced three new 2/3-inch Ultra HD/ 4K-compatible broadcast zoom lenses to its UA series (which now includes seven lenses). The latest additions are two compact, lightweight wide-angle and ultra wide-angle zooms (the UA18x5.5 and UA14x4.5) and a 27x studio lens (UA27x6.5). The 2.04kg UA18x5.5 will be ideal as a standard lens for hand-held shooting, while the
compact UA14x4.5 measures just 238.5mm, allowing users to get closer during live sport coverage (with a minimum object distance of 0.3m) or offer productions a real sense of depth. The UA27x6.5 has a maximum aperture of f1.5 and is a useful size for news or variety shows, but also suitable for outside broadcasts, where the wide angle of 6.5mm can give a full view of a concert venue in live coverage. It also has a built-in 2x extender for distant close ups, and a 16-bit encoder, for high-resolution lens data,
including zoom and focal position information, for virtual studio or augmented reality work. All three lenses use Fujifilm’s proprietary HT-EBC (High Transmittance Electron Beam Coating) multi-layer coating to provide for a high level of transmittance and colour reproduction. In addition, new optical simulation technology has been used during the optical design process to prevent resolution degradation around the edges and control all types of aberrations, so as to achieve 4K image quality
PCIe family offers I/O flexibility Magewell By Mark Hallinger The first two models in the new Flex I/O family of PCI Express input/output cards each feature four input channels and two outputs. On both models, all inputs and outputs can be used simultaneously with independent resolutions, frame rates and processing settings, maximising flexibility. The Flex I/O SDI 4i2o features 3Gbps SDI interfaces and supports frame sizes up to 2048x1080 – including 2K digital cinema specifications and HD video formats such as 1080p60 – plus 16 channels of embedded audio in each SDI signal. Input channels, as well as the two outputs, can be paired for dual-link SDI connectivity.
Meanwhile, the Flex I/O HDMI 4i2o captures and outputs video up to 2048x1080 (2048x2160 for 3D) over HDMI 1.4 connectivity, and supports up to eight channels of embedded audio per HDMI signal. While the six independent channels already provide great I/O density, multiple cards
can coexist flawlessly in the same system for even higher channel-count uses, claimed the company. Like Magewell’s capture cards, the Flex I/O family offers 10-bit, FPGA-based video processing, providing up/down-conversion, video adjustments, graphic overlay and more while maximising CPU availability for third-party software. 8.A84

theibcdaily OPINION OUTLINED
The drive for transformation Jeff Moore, executive vice president, Ross Video Transformation is a buzzword that we are likely to hear repeatedly at IBC2017. Dictionary.com defines it as: “a thorough or dramatic change in form or appearance”. This is a pretty good description of the way many of our clients are thinking about their organisations today. Never before has this industry been more engaged in the conversation about how to take the current state of the business, technology and organisation, explode old notions of how to do things, throw out old business models, old operational models and old technology models and start with a fresh slate. It feels as though an incredible amount of energy has been unleashed over the past couple of years and is being directed towards
these opportunities. Thinking big about transformation is a definite industry trend. At Ross, we engage with a diverse range of organisations around the globe from top broadcasters to web and digital providers, to rock and roll tours, legislatures, sport venues, and beyond. Every customer segment we engage with is driving a new and more aggressive attitude towards not just improving, but transforming, what they do. As a technology and creative partner, we’re asked to contribute new ideas and challenge the status quo – helping determine how to transform a production, operational model or technical facility to deliver better results. Creatively, it’s all about audience engagement, finding new ways to enhance
productions to sustain and build audiences. This includes creating more compelling content with intelligent use of things like augmented reality, virtual sets, social media, data-driven graphics, more compelling moving camera shots and on-set screens. There are many opportunities to enhance almost any live production creatively, creating more compelling content and deeper audience engagement. From a technological perspective, there is much discussion and some deployment of IP, virtualisation and cloud technologies, the goal being resource flexibility, scalability and cost savings. Like many of our peers, Ross is an active participant in the standards bodies that are laying the foundation for IP
adoption including SMPTE, AIMS, AMWA and VSF as well as supporting NewTek’s NDI. We’re involved in the IP Showcase at IBC again this year and will be presenting papers as well as showing IP, virtualisation and cloud technologies on our stand. Operationally, the drive is for efficiency, the ability to create more efficient processes, automate routine tasks and take control over the increasingly complex process of producing, displaying and distributing video content. Efficiency is an area of increased focus, especially with European clients. In virtually every case, significant advantages can be gained by taking a serious look at production workflow processes and modernising them, freeing
up valuable resources to pursue other organisational priorities. We expect many conversations with clients this year that have transformation on their minds and are actively seeking to transform their production operations in order to make creative, technology and efficiency gains. The unifying theme for these efforts is ‘smart production’ which we have also adopted as our theme for IBC2017, helping our customers transform a production, operational model or technical facility to deliver better results. 11.C10

theibcdaily OPINION OUTLINED
The importance of being personal To reach the modern media consumer, OTT providers need to make their services personal and secure, argues Mary Kay Evans, chief marketing officer, Verizon Digital In 2017, we have reached a new era of streaming media consumption. Online video now accounts for 74 per cent of all online traffic, and 55 per cent of people watch streaming media every single day. Thanks to this enormous and growing audience, content owners and creators have more time than ever before to reach viewers. This is the modern media industry’s greatest challenge – and its greatest opportunity. As viewers spend an increasing amount of time in front of their screens, more and more industry players are competing for their attention. Companies can no longer expect to compete simply because they can make sure the media player
doesn’t crash – basics like these are no longer a perk, but something viewers expect. The state of the industry going forward will depend on what enterprise-level media streaming platforms can do to stand out. Industry players will succeed by creating a powerful platform that meets all the needs of a content owner’s workflow. From content creation to delivery to the end user, it must be rooted in innovative technology that can grow with the demands of their business and models of the future. The OTT service provider of the future won’t just offer a powerful workflow, but a secure one as well. One that takes advantage of all the internet
technologies to protect their IP and content far upstream. These solutions will need to easily adapt to and integrate with each customer’s existing infrastructure to lower the barrier of entry. They will also put all the pieces together into one seamless workflow so customers can manage services for their customers, paying it forward. Our future is going to be built on secure data collection tools that content owners should have at their fingertips. Knowing user behaviours, and knowing that information is protected, will ultimately affect the success or failure of an OTT business model. It’s up to the service providers to create tools to help
Mark up another release for TallyMan TSL Products By Heather McLean IBC sees a new release of the TallyMan broadcast control system. TallyMan is designed for real-time, user-oriented control and dynamic data display. Key functionality allows the design of virtual control panels, usually implemented on touchscreen PCs. The latest release allows engineers to define buttons to achieve multi-device, precisely time-aligned salvos of commands. The design platform now includes
a new range of sliders, rotary encoders and X-Y controls, which can be applied to anything from positioning robotic cameras, to adjusting audio levels, or for colour correction. A new addition to the TSL Products command and control range is FlashBoard, a screen-based information distribution and display system. Integrating with TallyMan, third-party control systems or capable of independent operation, FlashBoard recognises the increasing need for critical workflow information to be delivered visually at the
point of use. It drives multiple displays, each with a unique combination of data, clocks and timers, on-air and cue lights, and production details. Screens are designed quickly using the drag-and-drop functionality in the TallyMan virtual panel software for display in monitor walls or distributed wirelessly to tablets. Chris Exelby, managing director, TSL Products, said: “When we talk to customers around the world, it is clear that they want to be able to implement solutions which are carefully tailored to their specific needs, but which can be delivered quickly, cost-effectively and flexibly. Our unique independent position in the industry and our adoption of open standards means we are ideally placed to deliver the Control Systems layer that allows our customers the freedom to choose best fit, best-of-breed equipment.” 10.B41 TallyMan allows the design of virtual control panels

customers determine what type of content to create or acquire, and help them discover what content is driving engagement. The solution: personalised viewing experiences through a one-to-one connection with each viewer. The modern viewer craves an experience that fits his or her interests and viewing habits, but delivering relevant content to each customer can be difficult. We’ve developed our own technology, Smartplay, to streamline data collection and dynamic generation of personalised experiences for our customers. Smartplay is a one-toone session management technology that provides
customers with deeper insights about their content and connections to their end users. Through this tool, data is aggregated and anonymised but can still be utilised to improve viewers’ experiences. To consumers, the only difference between an ad and a valuable piece of content is relevance, and Smartplay data helps broadcasters make reliably helpful viewing recommendations on a personalised level. As our studies have shown, end users are not afraid of ads, they just dislike non-relevant ads. In today’s media environment, personalisation is the key to standing out. 7.C11

IP production and speech-to-text OUTLINED
BBC Research & Development By Monica Heck Moving production tools into the web browser and using the public internet to transport content is a focus for BBC R&D, as it extends its IP Studio technology into the cloud. The new Clarity 800 is the fastest of the new HFR range
In the Future Zone, visitors can see demonstrations of a flexible production system, powered by an implementation of AMWA’s Networked Media Open Specifications (NMOS), that scales out as required and enables multiple users to produce their own live multi-camera shoot ‘on demand’ using nothing but commodity
tools and the internet. This is of particular interest for those handling rapidly breaking news stories. Each user receives their own set of browser-based configuration and production interfaces, while the cloud handles content storage and high-quality rendering. Visitors can also view some of the many uses of speech-to-text
in the broadcasting environment, as this technology moves from the lab to the newsroom as a production-ready technology for journalists inside the BBC. Uses include helping journalists rapidly find footage in large archives, helping them quickly subtitle ‘water cooler’ content so it can be shared more widely on social media and helping them
quickly transcribe interviews. BBC R&D is explaining how broadcasters with large subtitle archives can achieve similar results as well as showcase the work the BBC has done to help steer academic research in this area towards the sort of real-world problems that broadcasters face.
High-speed camera seeking Clarity
full-function remote control panel for paint control of the camera and a positive-lock lens mount with lens control of focus, iris, and zoom motors. The company has also developed a smaller 4x speed camera (the Clarity 400 Mini) using C-mount lenses. Two of these cameras can be used live with the Clarity HFR processor in HD (or can be used to deliver UHD at up to 60p).
Camera Corps By David Fox The Clarity 800-HD camera is said to be “the world’s first miniature high-frame-rate (HFR) point-of view camera for live production”. The 340g smartphone-sized unit can work at up to 480 frames per second in 1080p.
The company said the camera was developed in response to customer demand for a high-speed PoV camera with HFR and the real-time processing needed for live sports.An Ultra HD version, the Clarity 800-4K has the ability to deliver up to 120fps. The Clarity 800 uses a 7MP Micro Four Thirds sensor with a sensitivity of f11 at 2000 lux, and
Software-based multiband audio processing Worldcast Systems By Mark Hallinger The Ecreso FM transmitter range is to benefit from a new digital multiband sound processor, with two levels of processing available. The wide-band version features a gated AGC, an improved FM limiter and an MPX power limiter, while the multiband version offers a full processing chain that also adds stereo enhancement, five-band processing, five-band limiters, HF and final limiters. The system is hosted within the direct-to-frequency digital modulator of the Ecreso FM
transmitter, which Worldcast Systems said ensures that the signal quality is of the highest standard. The signal is processed from audio to RF in a single digital step which leads to a significant increase in quality, said the company. Gregory Mercier, product manager, Ecreso, said: “Our integrated audio processor requires no additional hardware which means no additional points of failure in the transmitter system.” The audio processor is supplied with a full set of
presets for many different formats and requirements ranging from maximum transparency to high loudness and including several ‘sonic signature’ settings. Control is seamlessly integrated with the web interface of the Ecreso Transmitter. The new audio processor is available as a software feature on new units and also as an upgrade to the many compact Ecreso FM transmitters in the field. 8.C58

DataMiner undaunted Skyline Communications By Ian McMurray The latest generation of the DataMiner Advanced Analytics solution is on show. According to Skyline, this emerging technology effectively tackles the ‘daunting challenges’ broadcast and media operators face in efficiently managing and controlling the new generation of broadcast ecosystems, which Skyline said are ‘synonymous with volatility and complexity’. DataMiner, which runs end-to-end across any vendor and technology boundaries, and is off-the-shelf fully integrated with big data storage solutions, is designed
to provide a foundation for sophisticated data analytics. DataMiner Advanced Analytics is also integrated in the core of the DataMiner platform, and leverages machine learning and artificial intelligence to perform a real-time continuous analysis on all data collected across an entire operation. Skyline claimed that the solution is unique in the industry, and represents a real paradigm shift. Not only does it enable operators to manage the new generation of broadcast ecosystems more easily and more efficiently than ever before, the company said, but it also enables them to leap ahead from reactive to very powerful proactive management of their operation. 1.A23

Showing PiP at IBC Object Matrix By Carolyn Giardina Among its innovations, Object Matrix is showing its Process in Place (PiP) content-aware feature that aims to reduce the processing needed to index and access content. In addition to demonstrating PiP, Object Matrix is launching
its new management API software, which enables access to audit and monitoring information. It’s also featuring Trashcan, which works like the trashcan on a PC, meaning that when content is accidentally deleted it can be stored on the system and recovered instead of being removed entirely. Nicholas Pearce-Tomenius, sales and marketing director,
Object Matrix, said: “We are noticing the rapid increasing of file sizes and the number of platforms for content provision. The constant changing of distribution methods means that it’s more important than ever for broadcasters to be able to easily access their content and be sure that it won’t be damaged or lost.”
processing on the cards Cobalt Digital By Heather McLean The 9902-UDX-DSP-CI Channel Integrator, a 3G/ HD/SD-SDI/CVBS up/down/ cross-converter from Cobalt Digital, is being showcased. It provides the signal conversion and processing tool set required to conform analogue and digital audio and video input signals and their associated metadata to meet content and channel delivery requirements. Enhanced video processing includes broadcast-quality up/down/ cross-conversion with noise reduction and detail enhancement. Standards conversion between 50Hz and 59.94/60Hz-based video standards makes the device perfect for rentals and international signal aggregators and distributors in the OTA, cable, DBS and OTT markets, said the company. Channel Integrator audio features include analogue and AES audio embedding and de-embedding with
multiple mixers and per-channel delay. Optional Linear Acoustic upmixing, Dolby decoding and encoding (E, AC-3, E-AC-3), and Dolby Real-Time Loudness Leveling make the Channel Integrator a single point of command and control for audio processing jobs. Also on display at IBC2017 is Cobalt’s new 9971-MV-4K Series UHD multiviewers with 12G-SDI support. The 3840x2160 output is available via 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 concurrently, reportedly making them a cost-effective means of using professional and widely available consumer-grade 4K monitors. For ‘maximum flexibility in system design’, two models are available. The 9971-MV6-4K accepts six 12G-SDI inputs, with an order-time option to add four HDMI 2.0 inputs to the mix. For larger system requirements, the 9971-MV18-4K supports up to 18 12G-SDI inputs and will drive two independent UHD display outputs. 10.B44

Cartoni
By David Fox
Total Dutch is a new patent concept for enabling 360° Dutch rotation in nodal mode, adding a third axis of lateral rotation to any classic pan-and-tilt head. The new flat-base head design can be used to create virtually any Dutch angle composition, and builds on the standard set in 2000 by the Cartoni Dutch head. The Total Dutch head weighs less than 10.5kg, has continuous fluid drag and can be mounted on any existing heavy-duty pan-and-tilt head. It provides nodal settings to any camera package weighing up to 25kg. The rotation is driven by a steering wheel, which has a hole in the centre to channel cables. It
comes with a camera plate and counterweight. Also new is the Lambda 25 3rd Axis, the latest accessory for Cartoni’s Lambda 25 head. It boasts an innovative design allowing operators to perform complete 360° rotation on a third axis. Offering a nodal setting on three axes, it is ideal for shooting underslung off a jib arm, for dolly shots, or on a crane or slider. 12.E30

Football OBs helped by cabinet appointment OUTLINED
BT Media & Broadcast By David Fox British Premiership football is viewed worldwide, and broadcasters have been asking for greater capacity to supply more feeds, particularly with
overseas broadcasters wanting their own interviews, graphics and commentary. To address this, BT’s Media and Broadcast division has installed new fibre cabinets at all 20 Premier League football grounds, as well as at the national stadiums in England and Wales.
These are part of the rollout of its next-generation network, and have 60Gbps capacity (with plans to increase this to 80Gbps), allowing 28 uncompressed HD outbound channels and eight reverse feeds at once, plus capacity for additional video feeds

TV’s future is in platforms OUTLINED
CONFERENCE REPORT By Chris Forrester Bill Scott, CCO/Easel TV, who chaired the ‘Direct To Consumer’ stream said the future of TV is in platforms: “They are easier to launch, technology is affordable and they understand their audience because of increasingly sophisticated data.” Backing up his argument was Richard Broughton, research director/Ampere Analysis. He said SVOD/OTT revenues have grown rapidly for Netflix, Amazon and their local rivals, and are accelerating. Last year revenues were $16 billion. By 2021 they’ll be $44-$50 billion. “These revenues are not always
cannibalistic. In 2015 it was around 24 per cent who added an SVOD service. By Q3 this year that had grown to 40 per cent.” Netflix takes the lion’s share (47 per cent) of OTT cash. Amazon is next (19 per cent) and Hulu (in the US, about nine per cent). “Three quarters of overall revenues are taken by these three players. We know that pay-TV is losing subscribers and is on a downward trajectory. There are obvious gaps in the OTT market, in sports, in reality and comedy.” Looking to fill the reality gap is NBCUniversal via its Hayu SVOD platform, which launched in 2016. Hendrik McDermott, SVP, branded on-demand, said
Richard Broughton (left) and Bill Scott discussed the value of social media when building awareness
Hayu focuses entirely on reality TV with some 4,000 hours and another 750 episodes a year being added. “We have just added Viacom, and our content is available just 24 hours after it has aired in the US.” Hayu uses social media to build awareness and new subscribers. “Initially we promoted the service via our
Faster file encoding for HLS
DVEO
By Will Strauss A ‘faster than real-time’ file encoder for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) and VOD is being debuted at IBC. Called the Quick Segmenter: VoD Files, the device is said to be able to encode files at approximately one-fifth of the video’s actual playing time. It has been designed for telcos and multi-screen operators that
deploy IPTV and OTT services and stream content to mobile devices, content delivery networks (CDNs) and remote video devices. Laszlo Zoltan, vice president, DVEO, said: “We go straight from a master or mezzanine file to multiple encoded segment files for use by a variety of devices. The Linux-based system automatically pushes HLS playlists and segments to CDNs or any media server
for VoD distribution via HLS Webdav or with file transfer.” Quick Segmenter: VoD Files re-encodes video content folders to multiple packaged profiles and pushes them to CDNs for ABR VOD (Adaptive Bit Rate Video on Demand) distribution. Also on show is a real-time high-speed file transport offering called Faster File: Secure AFT (Accelerated File Transfer) with RIFT (Real-time Internet File Transfer). 2.A34
No stopping beam hopping SatixFy By Will Strauss Improving satellite transmissions by adopting the ‘beam hopping’ technique is a key focus for SatixFy at IBC. Beam hopping, in which a transmission channel switches between several beams, provides the ability to allocate capacity temporarily according to demand. It does this by changing the traditional
P117 IBC D1 2017 v3 Final.indd 1
forward link transmission from continuous to time-based burst. Working this way, the traditional colour separation of frequency and polarisation is replaced by time division multiplexing over a single frequency carrier. Use cases include the ability to redirect excess capacity to different customers during low demand times and dynamic capacity allocation during large events to maintain transmission quality.
To capitalise on beam hopping, SatixFy has developed the SX-3000, a software-defined radio ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) that supports DVB-S2X and features Annex E Super Frame transmission and reception. The SX-3000 is on show at IBC. A VSAT based on the SX-3000 is capable of receiving a 500Msps beam hopping transmission, according to the company said. 3.B26
site, and that generated a few thousand views. We now use Facebook and Snapchat. One video achieved 21 million users, and converted subs at a cost of just $9.48 a sub.
Another 12-second video generated 800,000 views, and gave us new subscribers at a cost of $4.66 a sub. If a promo video doesn’t work we kill it instantly.”
Putting the building blocks in place By George Jarrett The DVB Project instigated the vibrant business of digital linear TV, but for its third decade in creating technical infrastructure it has to deal with broadband and hybrid services (OTT), as well as the very real promise of VR. Of the first area Peter MacAvock, chair of the DVB steering board, and EBU head of distribution, platforms and services, said: “It used to be called TV, but now it is something else. All those different devices and networks have placed another set of technical challenges on the industry.” “What we were looking to do was make the DVB fit for purpose in order to address those demands. Have we been successful? Well, the short answer is ‘not yet’,” he added. “But we are only getting started in some new areas. The building blocks are in place, and it is now down to us to identify and resolve the technical challenges.” He had in mind areas like targeted advertising using open standards, adaptive bitrates and multicast. For VR, the commercial requirements will be defined by a DVB group led by Ludovic Noblet of b-com. “We hope to be a key provider of the technologies that facilitate

commercially successful VR and AR services,” said MacAvock. “But it remains to be seen whether the broadcast community gains a lot out of VR and AR. It has the potential to be quite a substantial niche. “The big trend at the moment is in sports rights – how to turn a live sporting event into an exciting visual experience using stuff other than linear video. That is right down the alley of VR and AR, and exploiting the potential in that space,” he added. “You will need the aptitude for turning a live event into a game, and the expertise for writing attractive apps. The DVB Project will be ready when we do identify how the broadcast community can play in that space: we are pretty much there in terms of the building blocks for the specification effort.”

The broadcasting model has changed – and it’s irreversible OUTLINED
By Chris Forrester Spencer Stephens, formerly CTO at Sony Pictures Entertainment, said he is extremely worried about the state of broadcasting today. Now running his own consultancy, he is chairing sessions (Room G102-3) on 15 September, and warns that the world’s new OTT ‘broadcasters’ are better placed than the studios to make compelling content. “We’re at a tipping
point. Netflix and Amazon are winning Emmys and Oscars; they are global with the purchasing power to match and they’re demanding exclusivity for five or 10 years.” “Hollywood’s traditional TV series would be aired by a network on a first-run basis. But then the various release windows would kick in, running for years and years. All that [income] vanishes when you are producing for Netflix or Amazon. The business model is changing completely.”
“The EU’s single digital market is not helping,” he added. “Broadcasters in some small European country will now have to buy licences to cover the whole of Europe. How can they afford this? It might suit people like Sky or possibly Canal+, but someone like Latvia? “Life is also going to have to change for the likes of Sky. Broadcasters use their relationship with their audiences that’s tied to a slice of spectrum. In my view, they
Sports tech scores for NTT NTT Group By Will Strauss An HEVC multi-channel encoder for 4K and high dynamic range (HDR) sports coverage is being showcased by NTT Electronics. Using an in-house developed application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), the HC11000 series offers 4:2:2 10-bit real-time encoding. According to
NTT, it can transmit broadcastquality video images in low bitrate, low latency with low power consumption. The HC11000 will work with resolutions from SD and HD up to 4K 60p and is said to be ideal for sport events coverage. At IBC2017, NTT is showing the device working with both multi-channel and 4K decoded images. Also on the NTT stand is a demonstration of the
company’s Smart Contribution Solution for transmitting multiple video streams from sporting venues to a broadcast centre or studio. Designed for remote live production via IP, it is based around two H.264/AVC devices, the MVE5000 encoder and the MVD5000 decoder. NTT Electronics is exhibiting jointly with NTT, NTT DATA Italia and NTT TechnoCross at IBC2017. 2.C58
Mexico’s Televisa completes upgrade
Televisa has upgraded its Vibe news production system
SAM By Carolyn Giardina Mexico-based broadcaster Televisa has updated its Snell Advanced Media Vibe news production system, investing
P119 IBC D1 2017 v3 Final.indd 1
in a range of review, rough cut edit and full production editing seats. Also included were several licences for SAM’s Go! remote timeline video editor. The broadcaster integrated its new Vibe servers to support DVCPro 100 as well as AVCi
50 and AVCi 100 formats without interrupting its current programming schedule. “As a major broadcaster with millions of viewers, we’re constantly striving to deliver top-quality news, sports and entertainment, which means
are living in cloud-cuckoo land. Everyone complains about ‘cord-cutting’ but few viewers are actually cutting the cord. But they are shifting their loyalty from a dedicated linear network or closed system via a set-top box, to OTT services. The business relationship that they had [with a broadcaster] is totally changing.” Stephens added: “The life of a creative at Netflix or Amazon is much like the ones at HBO. They get a complete series
order, they don’t get much interference. A typical linear US broadcaster might give you the go-ahead for a half-dozen episodes, or perhaps half a season at best, and then you risk being cancelled after three episodes, barely giving anyone a chance to catch it. Netflix and Amazon don’t work that way. They know if a viewer doesn’t like this or that show or movie, then they’ve got a simply massive set of other choices available.”
cineXtools expanded Cinedeck
By Neal Romanek Cinedeck is offering three new tools in its cineXtools platform for multi-codec, file-based insert editing – cineXcloud, cineXjobs and cineXapi. CineXtools is an application that allows for easy insert editing in deliverables on Windows and OSX. Where show deliverable files are stored, managed and archived, cineXtools can make changes and create alternate versions without additional rendering, QCing, uploading and downloading. The new cineXcloud feature adds functionality to cineXtools by enabling virtualisation and unlocking wider data centre deployments of the cineX insert edit technology. CineXjobs is a workflow engine for the creation of pre-defined watch folder-based processes. CineXapi provides unrestricted API access
it’s imperative that we have the proper architecture and workflow efficiencies in place to meet our objectives,” said Elias Rodriguez Perales, Televisa’s general director of technology and operations. “We are trying to push the boundaries of what is possible in live and quick-turnaround production in terms of new
to the full complement of cineXtools functions. Fixing an hour show that needs a 10-second title correction might entail changing the timeline, exporting a new master file and running it through QC. If the file is stored remotely, another upload session is required. CineXtools allows users to export only the 10-second fix, insert it into the master and QC only those 10 seconds. CineXcloud allows uploading of only the patch to make changes directly to assets stored remotely. CineXjobs and cineXapi allow easy changes to local and cloud-stored or archived assets. A simple insert/replace job is created with cineXjobs, pointed at the media assets and the assets are processed. Integrating cineXapi turns a MAM system into a file management environment by providing direct access to the full complement of cineXtools functions. 9.LP7
workflows. For us, SAM was the obvious choice.” In a statement, Hector Sanchez, regional director of LATAM at SAM, added: “We’re very happy to continue our long-standing relationship with Televisa, expanding on a sixyear-old system to preserve its infrastructure.” 9.A01

SES welcomes “Golden Age” of video
Gemini rising to lighting demands
By Chris Forrester
Litepanels
Satellite operator SES used a press event at IBC to stress its view that the world’s video demand is thriving. “We are entering the Golden Age of video,” said Deepak Mathur, SES SVP/ AsiaPac and ME. Mathur said that content consumption is exploding, with an increasing appetite for – at least – HD, and that there was plenty of untapped potential in digital markets as they converted from analogue TV. Mathur quoted a recent study by Ampere Analysis which forecast a $90 billion growth in incremental video revenues over the next five years with two-thirds of this growth coming from linear TV. He said
that the number of TV channels now available was about 42,000. This would grow to about 50,000 globally by 2024. “While video was 50 per cent of internet traffic two years ago, it will grow to some 81 per cent by 2021. And while typical video consumption of those adults over 35 years of age – overall – was about 28 hours per week, millennials were consuming much more, at about 34 hours per week, with 46 per cent of their consumption via VoD.” Today’s linear TV, by traditional free-to-air and pay-TV, accounts for 95 per cent of all video revenues, the growth will come from OTT. “But linear content is the cash cow. Monetising content
across the entire value chain is key. OTT only will not be enough.” Mathur argued that VoD via OTT content is augmenting pay-TV, not replacing it. He also said that Ampere Analysis was right with its forecasts that there will be a four-fold growth in the number of HD channels available. “In 2013 there were about 10,000 HDTV channels on air, and this is expected to more or less double again by 2025. Worldwide, especially in developing TV markets, 360 million households don’t yet own a TV!” There’s another 300 million analogue homes still awaiting digital switchover. That’s 660 million who either have no access to TV at all, or only limited choices.”
The DPP puts itself firmly in the mix By George Jarrett The Digital Production Partnership (DPP), now 300+ members strong, has set up its biggest ever presence at IBC with three major working areas plus a newly signed partnership with the EBU to drive standards and interoperability together. Explaining its ‘DPP Everywhere’ campaign, MD Mark Harrison said: “We have always worked on pieces that matter, and it feels this year that three things – cyber security, IMF for broadcast and online, and news exchange metadata – have been particularly important to people we talk to and work with.
“If you look at the range of those three pieces, there won’t be many participants at IBC who don’t have direct interest in at least one, and thats why it feels we are very firmly in the mix,” he added. On the issue of setting standards, Harrison said: “A standard that is a beautiful thing, but which sits on a virtual shelf somewhere, may be intellectually pleasing but it is not going to help to manage change and make the industry operate more effectively.” “The genuine commitment now for creating constrained versions is what’s required to actually put in place
real implementations,” he added. “For SMPTE to pilot specifications work is a new area of activity, and IMF Online is really exciting for both of us.” DPP is running a cyber security session at midday today. It chose to hold the ring for a new framework for demonstrating best practice, and nine companies had signed by this morning. “Our initiative is not about saying do this or that or you must conform to particular standards. It is all about creating a framework in which you can demonstrate you are thinking the right way about the right thing,” said Harrison.
Spectre agents of change for DMX lighting Cinelex By David Fox A new universal wireless DMX lighting control system has been introduced by Cinelex, and is being shown at IBC by TheLight/Velvet, Fiilex and BB&S, although it will work with any DMX-capable light. The Spectre system is based on the LumenRadio chipset, and the first product is the Spectre-TRX, a combined transmitter and receiver, with a

Doran shows off the new Cinelex Spectre-Desk-TX8 and Spectre-TRX
100m range. “When we spoke to rental companies, they didn’t want to have to pair one transmitter to
one receiver,” explained Spencer Doran, MD, Octica Professional, which owns Cinelex. The unit has a pass-through power system, where it and the light fixture are simultaneously powered by the same battery (V-mount or Gold Mount). It can also be used with any regular DMX desk, although Cinelex is also offering its own portable Spectre-Desk-TX8 (with built-in transmitter), which can control eight channels across 512 unique DMX IDs.

By David Fox Gemini is a new 2x1, RGB-WW soft panel that combines daylight, tungsten and red-green-blue LEDs to deliver precise colour control. Pat Grosswendt, co-founder of Litepanels, and professional gaffer, said: “Our customers have been asking for a wide, soft light source like the original [1x1 panel], but in a 2x1 form factor. Now users have the convenience of achieving their desired lighting setup without having to gang together multiple lights.” Many 2x1 panels achieve white light by mixing red, green and blue, which can create undesirable colour spikes. Gemini builds on a daylight-to-tungsten
light foundation with finely adjustable colour throughout the full 360º colour wheel. This means that users can match a broad range of ambient lighting conditions quickly and simply. There are three lighting modes: correlated colour temperature mode, for bicolour (daylight to tungsten) with +/- green adjustment; colour mode, offering hue saturation and intensity control for full colour and saturation control; and gel mode – to dial up popular gels. Other features include: smooth dimming from 100 per cent to zero without any colour shift; remote control through DMX, Wireless DMX or Bluetooth (claimed to be an industry first), and via SmartLite iOS apps. 12.E65
Moving into the new era EBU By George Jarrett A wonderful example of broadcasters doing it for themselves is the EBU PEACH project, a single sign-on and recommendation system. “We have a slight presence of ‘Personalisation for EACH’ at the show, but the guys building it are too busy to attend,” said Simon Fell, director of the EBU technology and innovation department. “We ran a co-development project that was unique, with EBU members providing the software developers. We acted as product owner and scrum master, and the PEACH software is already in use at RTS, Bayerischer Rundfunk, and RTP in Portugal,” said Fell. “By doing it with the members we have ended up spreading the load, and we have a product that is developed equally for all,” he added. “People can either host it on the open cloud, build their own private cloud, or host it with us. We have an active working recommendation that

is handling millions of events a day. Further proof of Fell’s claim is the EBU Flow project, which involves delivering content online. “The complexity is that you usually have to deliver that online content through a CDN, and usually choose one and sign a contract. Pricing has been the biggest driver, but people are getting more concerned about quality as well,” he said. “We have been switching between multiple CDNs using a platform that we are now providing to members. It gives them load balancing, quality of service measurement and the switch between networks.” 10.F20

New services flowering for Ukraine Spacecom By Ian McMurray Together with UkrKosmos, Ukraine’s State Space Agency, Spacecom, operator of the AMOS satellite fleet, is now offering satellite transponder services for content sharing to the country’s regional broadcasters. Utilising AMOS-7 at the 4°W prime orbital position, Spacecom and UkrKosmos are starting with an initial 19 regional channels on the bouquet,
comprising 13 SD and six HD, reaching throughout Ukraine. This bouquet is conveying the channels as a content sharing network via MPEG-4 DVBS-2 technology. For most of these regional broadcasters, joining the bouquet will allow them to make the first step towards creation of a digital DTH platform, and for the first time provide them with enough capacity to ensure high-quality broadcast of TV programmes. Yuri Balichev, first deputy director general, Ukrkosmos, said: “By creating this new digital broadcast platform
AMOS-7 is bringing a bouquet of 19 channels to Ukraine

Machine learning to bolster linear services Amagi By Will Strauss Augmented content services that make use of machine learning are being showcased on the Amagi stand. The services being demonstrated include content segmentation and ad-break-point suggestions for linear broadcast. In this example, large volumes of content can be analysed frame by frame in order to segment long-form content, allowing ad breaks to be suggested automatically at logical intervals as per a schedule. Another use case is automated quality control (QC) in which machine learning helps to perform QC checks to detect black frames, colour bars, clocks and slate frames.
For OTT operators, Amagi is showing a new option for automated ad detection. This technology is also powered by an intelligent machine learning-based system and can detect ads from any feed without ad markers. This enables OTT aggregators to monetise channels without any dependency on TV networks, the company said. An improved version of the Cloudport playout platform is also being exhibited. New features include the ability to automatically generate a presentation schedule by understanding EPG and ad-break patterns, and an MXF playout option, which is said to save time and space by allowing multiple interpretations of the same asset using different metadata. 2.B19
Neo 2 is a right flash hit Photographer Jason Lanier used a 3-light Neo 2 kit near Brooklyn Bridge
Rotolight By David Fox Anyone who shoots both photos and video will be interested in Rotolight’s new Neo 2, which combines a high-speed sync flash that doesn’t need any recycle time with continuous on-camera LED lighting that is 85 per cent brighter than its predecessor. The HSS flash can deliver 500 per cent of the continuous light output at 1/8000th of a second, and Rotolight has integrated Elinchrom’s Skyport 2.4Ghz HSS wireless flash receiver into Neo 2, allowing
control of off-camera lighting set-ups using up to 10 lights in four groups at up to 200m. It will work with Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Panasonic and Fuji cameras, and all other Elinchrom Skyport devices. “The Neo 2 is going to revolutionise how people use light, and eliminate the need for external flash. If you have those moments that you just cannot afford to miss, this is an incredible light for you,” said professional photographer Jason Lanier, who tested Neo 2 on a Sony A6500 at 11 frames per second. 12.G48
