Fox’s Sullivan: “Disruption is natural”

Inside

By Chris Forrester Brian Sullivan, president and COO, Digital Consumer Group, Fox Networks, told IBC delegates that disruption in TV is perfectly natural. “Once, consumers had all the power. They watched three TV channels without a fee and saw great entertainment. Cable changed that paradigm, then came VHS tapes and DVD forcing another change. Then came TiVo and PVRs, which gave consumers greater control but at a cost of almost $100 a month. Then came the streamers, and consumers saw that they could get all this seemingly wonderful content at less than $10 a month. Today, in the US there are more than 200 of these content aggregators, but what’s happened to the ‘missing’ $90? “I can tell you it isn’t working for business. We, with Fox Now, have started from scratch and put the power back into the consumer’s hands. We have moved from about 17 different networks to just five. One of the problems are [TV] rights and their screening windows. There is pain for some players, and many channels will not make it because demands have

changed. There really isn’t a need for sub-genres of this or that channel, because we are showing everything in a very easy to access UI.” Sullivan is also a board director at Hulu, and moderator Kate Bulkley asked what his feelings were about Netflix, and Amazon Video. “Netflix is a spectacular service at a spectacular price. We, the studios, created it with our content. But, like the other

studios, we will review the shows they screen on a case by case basis. “As for Amazon, they are obviously important and I have little doubt that one of these days they’ll be running a global government. [Jeff] Bezos is an amazing character.” He touched on the threats from social media-based platforms, and admitted everyone was still learning. “If we knew how we could

monetise in the social world, we would. Personally, I don’t think long-form video works on social media where the average time spent watching any video is about three seconds.” Sullivan also addressed VR and the other emerging technologies, and said he had always been a fan of 3D and look what happened to that! “But, like everyone, we are learning and we are investors in the concept.”

CTOs predict big future for AI and 5G services by 2020 OUTLINED

By David Wood Heavy-hitting industry CTOs have agreed that AI will become an important new technology for media businesses. The use of machines to perform basic jobs which would ordinarily be done by a person is turning out to have a wide range of useful applications, said Liberty Global CTO Balan Nair, speaking at IBC’s CTO Roadmap Keynote panel [15 September]. “Where AI is coming in for us is with customer interactions,” revealed Nair. “There are plenty of customer management processes where no humans [other than the customer] are involved and the consumer

is none the wiser – unless the interaction is really complex. “You will see AI in almost every aspect of our operations – 15 per cent is AI now – and it will be 50 per cent in five years.” News Corp deputy CTO Latha Maripuri said that AI was “way more than a buzzword” and that

SkyPanel now bigger and brighter Arri By David Fox The new SkyPanel S360-C is Arri’s “biggest and brightest LED fixture we ever made. It is four times as bright as the standard S60”, said Markus Zeiler, general manager Arri Business Unit Lighting. Some 30,000 SkyPanels have now been sold, and the S360-C was developed to respond to user feedback. The colour tuneable 120,000 lumens S360-C offers a wide range of built-in effects, from police car lights to fire effects, which can cover a wide area. The panel comes with an intensifier that gives 50 per cent

extra output in the centre of the light. “It takes a bit from the side, but it is still smooth,” he explained. The full kit includes various diffusers, soft boxes, case and remote. It also has a carbon fibre yoke, which is half the weight of a traditional steel yoke, and more reliable. It is the first SkyPanel to have wireless LumenRadio DMX built in, and Arri is making it easy to add wireless to all the older SkyPanels, via SkyLink Receiver, a USB-powered dongle offering bi-directional communication. It links to the SkyLink Base Station offering DMX/RDM communication and direct control from a DMX control application on a tablet or

Collaborations with Microsoft, Mo-Sys ChyronHego By Carolyn Giardina ChyronHego announced a pair of collaborations as IBC got underway on Friday. Its Tracab image-based tracking system has been chosen as one of the anchor technologies in Microsoft’s Sports Performance Platform, a Microsoft Garage project. Announced earlier this year, Sports Performance Platform is a cloud-based sports analytics platform created to help professional sports teams,

leagues and organisations find a way to help both athletes and teams make better, faster and more data-driven decisions. Said Steve Fox, principal software engineer for Microsoft Corp: “ChyronHego’s Tracab not only collects and organises critical data in real time but makes it readily available for presentation so that coaches and teams can see and predict trends and patterns.” ChyronHego is also introducing integration of its Silver robotic camera head with the RoboRail straight camera rail system from Mo-Sys Engineering. The

News Corp was actively looking at how it might be incorporated. “Digital advertising is proving to be a concrete use case for AI, and we are looking at integrating more supervised machine learning.” Liberty Global’s Nair was also upbeat about the prospects for services based around high computer via WiFi. RDM allows for two-way communication with the fixture and enables the ability to change all settings on the lamphead remotely. The wireless link should achieve a range of at least 150m in poor conditions, or up to 400m with line of sight. SkyLink was developed in partnership with Innovative Dimmers. 12.F21

companies reported that, together, the products form a system for “no-delay camera tracking” of augmented reality graphics and virtual sets in news broadcasting – the latest development in ChyronHego’s Camio Universe for news workflows. Johan Apel, president and CEO of ChyronHego, said: “On a news set, the RoboRail is the perfect alternative to larger robotic dolly/ rail systems for AR applications. Our partnership with Mo-Sys is a big step forward in our efforts to deliver the industry’s most comprehensive VR/AR systems for news production.” 7.D11

capacity 5G technology. Nair admitted that the economics of 5G “don’t make sense at present”, but predicted that it would be a “true step change” in mobile. “One big benefit is its greater bitrate. It’s optimised for lots of bandwidth and you’ll be able to pack a lot more technology into 5G devices. But it needs hundreds of thousands of towers – and that’s going to be expensive. That is the challenge of 5G – lots of promise and lots of cost. “Today’s economics don’t justify it, but it’ll be rolled out for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and by 2021-22 it’ll be more normal than not.”

Cloud set to deliver fundamental change OUTLINED

By Ann-Marie Corvin Is anything possible now in the cloud? For vendors the possibilities are limitless, for broadcasters it’s only a matter of time. In the Friday morning session ‘Cloud: How far can it go’ Google Cloud’s CTO Jeff Kember said that Google has invested $30 billion in its infrastructure and hardware and software stack to make heavy-duty tasks such as rendering, simulation and compositing possible. He added that 80 per cent of Disney’s The Jungle Book was rendered in Google’s Cloud last autumn enabling VFX house MPC and teams located elsewhere in the world to carry out quick renders.

Google Cloud CTO Jeﬀ Kember unveiled new machine learning features at IBC

“You can now do shots in parallel. The scalability is there, instead of saying we have a fixed amount of compute on premises you can work on it per frame to save on artist, director and producer time,” said Kember. He also

that the company aims to take the technology beyond broadcast keying to include use for augmented reality and virtual sets/previs/visual effects production. Since the acquisition, Blackmagic also dropped Ultimatte’s pricing, with Ultimatte 12 listing for $9,995. Ultimatte 12 features new algorithms and colour science,

For broadcasters interested in creating and pushing out 360 content, Kember added that content captured on its Jump camera can be directly uploaded into the cloud where it can be scheduled, stitched and distributed to customer’s own channels, its client’s channels or directly to its video network. While the IABM revealed in its IBC end user survey that around one quarter of broadcast companies have

virtualised their businesses, fellow panellist Tom Griffiths, director of broadcast and distribution technology at ITV, said that the UK broadcaster would not be doing a whole scale uplift into the cloud. “In an ideal world there would be nothing on premises but it’s a journey and different parts of our business are at different points in that journey,” he said, explaining that there were legacy systems to be replaced and workflows that needed to be re-architected. He added that live production was further away than on-demand publishing, which is now all running on cloud.

Managing multi-vendor IP infrastructures Lawo By Mark Hallinger A big theme at the company’s stand is the idea of a ‘Broadcast 3.0’ – IP-based broadcast infrastructure for audio, video, data and control. Lawo said that while Broadcast 3.0 is under way, tomorrow’s broadcast production requirements will clearly be based on IP transport, software-defined processing, orchestration and seamless control of network resources, and automated workflows. At IBC2017, Lawo is demonstrating a unified infrastructure for audio, video, data and control in practical applications. A major part of this is vsmSOUL, Lawo’s Seamless

Orchestration & Unification Layer. Shown earlier this year and now making its European debut, vsmSOUL is an overarching service for IP-based production environments that manages the generation and routing of audio and video streams in any multi-vendor IP set-up. vsmSOUL is aware of, and handles, information from all system components, and is compatible across individual interfaces and technical solutions, said Lawo. It provides a single point of control for any network size and topology, and provides central stream routing and resource management across single-switch, spine-leaf, or mesh network infrastructures. 8.B50

By Heather McLean The Associated Press (AP) is using IBC2017 to launch an online newsgathering service that allows broadcasters to find crews to cover stories and then facilitates the delivery of their live feeds. The AP Live Community web portal, developed in conjunction with video-over-mobile technology company LiveU, includes lists of available service providers and details of current filming opportunities. All registered crews accessing the service will use LiveU transmitters to send their live footage. As the LiveU devices automatically pair through the AP Live Community platform, live broadcasts can be delivered directly into a broadcaster’s LiveU server.

AP is vetting all service providers and is handling invoicing and billing. Paul Shanley, director of business development and partnerships, AP, said the platform will “eliminate the complexity broadcasters currently face in having to source video production crews who are able to competently deliver live coverage” Thirty service providers and 20 broadcasters have

signed up to the new service so far. Ronen Artman, vice president of marketing, LiveU, added that he expects the new service to help freelancers to find additional work and grow their businesses. AP Live Community will be free to access but commission and connection fees will be applicable. 3.B62

Sencore has adopted intoPIX JPEG2000 Ultra Low Latency technology for its new line of SDI2X products. The integration of the intoPIX cores will enable Sencore to support nextgeneration broadcasting services, including the VSF TR01 standard. Overall the technology will, claimed intoPix, enable the industry to simplify remote production and live contribution using IP networks. Jean-Baptiste Lorent, director of sales and marketing at intoPix said, “When you’re outside the studio for remote production or studio-to-studio, away from SMPTE 2110, you’re faced with putting high quality content over constrained network bandwidth. It simply isn’t practical to put HD on a network always, or the cost

charged for the bandwidth by the telco operator is too high, so you need to keep things under 1Gb. “For that reason, JPEG2000 Ultra Low Latency is gaining lots of interest in the market, particularly in the US,” continued Lorent. “ESPN is using it for live sport because it offers practically all the benefits of uncompressed but with more feeds and higher frame rates.” 10.D31

IP could account for one-third of TV revenues in 10 years OUTLINED

By David Wood Industry analyst Lluis Borrell from Spanish telecoms consultancy Analysys Mason has predicted that IP is set to have a huge impact on the European TV market, with a third of revenues coming from IPTV in a decade. Speaking at a conference session on ‘Multichannel Broadcasters: Is IP really having an impact on broadcasting?’ [15 September] Borrell predicted that in a €91 billion European TV market IP services could make up a huge €30 billion in just a decade. “A 30 per cent switch to the delivery of services over

IP is a huge change. The big question is how will that impact the market?” Borrell said that there would be a big sea change in the competitive dynamics of the TV market, driven by the large number of service launches based around VoD and catch-up over OTT. He listed developments such as the launch of Molotov TV in France, YouTube TV, Amazon Channels, iFlix Live TV and Disney going direct to consumers as evidence of the diversity of the latest crop of OTT offers. Another big market trend is fragmentation, added Borrell,

who pointed out that not all consumers want the same thing from TV services and that IP is the best suited technology for delivering a wide range of services to audiences – some of whom want niche services and some who want all-youcan-eat buffets. “The market is evolving and becoming more segmented and IPTV is best suited to coping with the different tastes of consumers, who are eager for attractive new seamless TV and VoD offers. “Overall the trends for the TV market is strong with demand for video increasing. But the nature of that demand is changing.

Huawei integration announced Imagine Communications By Ian McMurray At a press conference on Thursday at IBC, Imagine Communications announced that it is working closely with Huawei to integrate Imagine’s Versio playout software with data centre compute and networking equipment from Huawei. The collaboration between Imagine and Huawei is intended to provide media companies with an expansion of options for transitioning their playout operations to softwarebased, virtualised environments running on commercial off-theshelf (COTS) hardware.

“This collaboration underscores our ongoing commitment to the evolution of the media industry to a technology foundation that injects new levels of agility, flexibility and responsiveness into traditional operations by moving them to pure software running on powerful COTS equipment,” said Charlie Vogt, CEO of Imagine Communications. “The strategic partnership unites two of the most innovative players in the broadcast and IT industries to provide media companies in the Asia-Pacific region – and around the world – with a greater palette of hardware choices for deploying origination and other playout operations in a data centre environment.”

Developed in partnership with Japanese public broadcaster and 8K powerhouse NHK, the UHC-8300 features three 1.25-inch sensors and aims to offer an 8K canvas to broadcasters which can also simultaneously output 4K and HD selections. Aimed at live broadcast, entertainment and high-end documentary, the camera supports HDR in both S-Log3 and HLG standards. It can output at 60p and capture at 120p and with its three sensors offers a much greater depth of field than Sony’s single 8K sensor cinema camera, the F65.

The 8K signal is carried via SDI but the UHC-8300 supports IP connectivity through Sony’s NMI technology. The camera comes with a 1.25-inch lens mount but can also accommodate B4 mount 4K lenses with an adaptor and is compatible with accessories from Sony’s HDC camera series. “In Japan there will be an 8K trial at the end of 2018,” said Kento Sayama of Sony Imaging. “We’re developing technology with NHK in Japan to meet that goal, but we wanted to debut the camera here at IBC. The UHC8300 can be a premium camera for 8K or a ‘cut out’ camera for broadcasters using 4K and HD.” Sony has also unveiled a minicam at the show, the RX0, and two HDR-capable camcorders, as well as showing off its new Venice cinema camera. 13.A10

DVB begins WiB study mission OUTLINED

Chris Nokes, head of distribution core technologies section, BBC R&D and chair of DVB-TM study mission on WiB

www.ikegami.eu

At IBC last year, Erik Stare, Jordi Giménez and Peter Klenner presented a paper on terrestrial broadcast network planning called ‘WIB – A new system concept for Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT)’. It went on to receive the Best Conference Paper Award. Since then, the authors have developed the ideas a little further, as presented in an EBU Technical Review article. Given the potential importance of the concepts introduced within these papers, the DVB has embarked on a mission to study the ideas. Wideband frequency re-use 1, or ‘WiB’ for short, proposes to change the approach for DTT network planning from one which uses high-order modulation to achieve high capacity per channel, to an approach using a much wider bandwidth together with a low-order modulation, to achieve similar capacity. This will inevitably mean that instead of planning transmissions from neighbouring transmitters to work on separate channels, the same (much wider) channel will need to be re-used; but the robust low-order modulation, combined with interference cancellation techniques, could mitigate the impact of the resulting network self-interference. A significant benefit from this approach is a dramatic reduction in the overall power that would be required to

operate the network (e.g., a typical reduction of around 90 per cent should be possible). The wider bandwidth may also bring advantages from increased frequency diversity, and this could be enhanced by combining WiB with frequency-hopping techniques, such as the Time-Frequency Slicing (TFS) already defined in an annex to the DVB-T2 specification. Because of the requirement to use interference-cancellation techniques in receivers, it is also possible to operate a layered modulation system. The broadcast layer would operate as normal, but in areas where the received signal strength provides a significant reception margin, receivers could decode additional information added to the main signal at reduced power – a ‘lower layer’. Since the capacity available varies with the margin, this lower layer could be most suited to the provision of additional unicast data – i.e., separate data targeted individually at each receiver. This approach could be applied with highly sectorized broadcast antennas targeting primarily roof-top receivers, or might equally be applicable to a cellular network targeting mobile receivers, where the combined provision of both a broadcast layer and additional unicast data (in effect additional mobile broadband capacity) could be potentially very attractive.

DVB has initiated two study missions, one a technical study mission, the other a commercial one, to analyse the WiB proposals in more detail. The technical study mission (TM-WiB) began its work in February, and has two broad objectives. The first is to evaluate the technical opportunities which WiB might offer in the future – in other words to assess the theoretical limits of what should be possible with WiB – as well as studying the application to practical network design to determine how close a practical implementation might come to these theoretical limits. The second objective for TM-WiB is to consider the feasibility of introducing such technology. This includes the impact both to and from conventional terrestrial TV network signals, as well as the potential impact on existing secondary users of terrestrial channels – in particular the program production community that makes use of the interleaved nature of existing planning to re-use UHF channels for equipment such as radio microphones. The commercial study mission (CM-WiB) has only just started its work, but will consider the potential business cases for the commercial implementation of WiB, as well as considering the viability of transition scenarios that could allow for its introduction.

Inevitably there will be a need for a close co-operation between CM-WiB and TM-WiB, for example to allow CM-WiB to ask TM-WiB for detailed evaluations of specific aspects of the technology. TM-WiB has started its work with some initial analysis of the potential for WiB technology, as well as by defining a variety of scenarios that could be considered for the use of WiB. These scenarios start with TV broadcasting to directional roof-top antennas using DVB-T2 as it is, with frequency reuse-1, then add

additional WiB tools (e.g., interference cancellation, channel aggregation), before considering more complex scenarios (e.g., adding mobile reception and using LDM for unicast services). TM-WiB has also started defining common approaches to network simulations to allow results from different organisations to be readily compared. Both TM-WiB and CM-WiB will produce reports on their findings for DVB Members early next year, and these reports will guide DVB in deciding upon any future work.

OPINION Cloud-based transcoding is better with acceleration When it comes to cloud infrastructures the latest video acceleration technology can make a big space, weight and power difference, argues Brian Carr, product strategist and marketing director, Advantech Video Solutions Division The movement towards virtualisation and cloud architectures, especially in the realm of OTT channel provision and the latest trend of self-broadcasting, seems to be the flavour of the moment. It is driven by new mobile and social video trends, and some predict that OTT viewing will even exceed traditional viewing consumption by 2020. This fundamental change in consumer behaviour brings great opportunities for media companies. Communication service providers (CSPs) are also looking to seize these opportunities and catch the mobile video wave. Using the cloud to deploy media services offers elasticity, speed of provisioning and scale. Cloud-based initiatives

19 IBC D2 2017 v1JRDLJMcK.indd 1

are driven by IT technologies such as virtualisation, software programmability and the economics of data centre hardware. However, software implementations on traditional data centre hardware are not well suited to video processing especially when multiple live UHD channels require realtime manipulation, and the performance differential between hardware accelerators and software for the latest video encoding techniques like HEVC is huge. For instance, while a 4Kp60 HEVC encode task would consume a high-end 600W dual socket server, the same task can be completed by a 6W encoder chip. This makes a compelling argument to use acceleration in clouds destined for video usage.

With many years of experience in embedded and industrial computing behind us, Advantech can offer commercial-off-theshelf access to this type of acceleration technology. By creating PCI Express card implementations with the unmatched performance of these video processing acceleration components, the enhanced density benefits can easily be integrated into standard data centre systems. In particular, the company’s latest VEGA-3318 PCI Express board family is the world’s first with the capacity of encoding eight channels of 4Kp60 HEVC or 32 channels of 1080p60. It’s possible to install four of these boards in a 1RU server supporting 32 channels of 4K

UHD – the highest density available in the market. OpEx savings are significant: up to a 20 times reduction in power consumption for large systems. To make it easier to deploy in cloud environments, Advantech provides a carrier platform together with software drivers that are virtualisation friendly, demonstrating the technology working within an OpenStack environment, so the risk and burden on developers is reduced. We’re also showing how similar ultra-low power acceleration technologies can provide benefits to OEMs in other areas of video processing infrastructure that feed into the new Ultra HD broadcasting landscape, including portable encoding

modules, media-over-IP cards for IP-based contribution equipment, and a new broadcast-edge server. Our encoding accelerator cards range from a single 4K card to the extremes of 8K HEVC encoding for 8K broadcast and 360º virtual reality (VR) live streaming. For the latter we show how a single low-power 1U system encodes and carries four 4K streams from a camera rig back to a cloud-based stitching and processing service. With off-the-shelf video acceleration components such as VEGA-3318, supporting the move to higher resolutions in a cloud architecture becomes economically viable. 11.C32

IBC’s C-Tech Forum: 5G OUTLINED

The broadcast, media and entertainment sector scarcely has time to catch its breath, yet there remain many questions, especially around 5G, where success requires partnering across the telco

stack, with tech leaders and with standards bodies. Like those that preceded it, the 5G-enabled Fourth Industrial Revolution will be built on disruption and opportunity.

Among the topics under discussion at today’s C-Tech Forum on 5G [09:10-16:00, Room G102-3] will be the 10Gb/s download and streaming rates, and whether this will truly lead to ‘UHD

for all’ as well as usage of the capacity for VR and AR holographic bi-directional download and upload. IBC takes a close look at the impact of 5G at this special invitation only event with C-level experts navigating a multitude of key questions that go beyond what 5G can do. With thought-provoking

#IBCShow

industry thinkers, leaders and a targeted audience of C-level professionals from across the telco and mobile and the broadcast, media and entertainment sectors, the programme will address how, when and what needs to be done to make 5G a success and how 5G will drive progress in the broadcasting industry.

Racing ahead with Sports Sunday CONFERENCE TOMORROW Sport, both traditional and electronic, plays a crucial role for broadcasters the world over, and is always well represented at IBC. This year’s IBC coverage is different in that most of the action takes place in the Forum on ‘Sports Sunday’ where fans, engineers and executives are encouraged to take their seats early, to avoid disappointment.

The day will include a fascinating panel hosted by Ken Kerschbaumer, editorial director, Sports Video Group, discussing ‘Beyond Live: New tech pushing the boundaries’ (10:30-11:15). It will cover next-generation TV formats like Ultra HD, high dynamic range (HDR) and Dolby Atmos, which are all designed to give sports fans an experience at home that beats – or equals – a seat in the stands.

The speakers are Dan Miodownik, deputy CEO and chief content officer, Host Broadcast Services, along with David Shield, senior vice president, global director of engineering and technology at IMG Media, and Sotiris Salamouris, chief technology officer at Olympic Broadcasting Services. IBC’s Sports Day continues with a panel (11:15-12:00) that looks at generating engagement with fans, and

which for many has supplanted reach as the ultimate measure of brand and campaign value. Sports, leagues, teams and platforms want to create compelling opportunities for fans, both serious and casual, to interact as often as possible, on game day and otherwise. Lewis Wiltshire, consuting partner at Seven League (and formerly Twitter UK’s first head of sport), moderates. Sports journalist and author Ross Biddiscombe will chair

‘Border Crossings: How alternative thinking is taking sports into new formats, sponsorships, audiences and countries’ (12:00-13:00) looking at the new entrants to the TV sport arena, including alternative sports – the exciting, quick and entertaining cousins to traditional competitions. Whether it’s Twenty20 cricket, rugby 7s, X-Games, MMA or the like, all of these have captured the hearts of fans and the cash of sponsors.

IBC, the Friendship Sports Centre and the Edwin van der Sar Foundation thank you enormously for all of your support.

The first IBC took place 50 years ago, in September 1967 at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, London. It attracted 550 visitors from 24 countries. There were 30 exhibitors and 40 technical papers. This year we will welcome more than 100 times that number of visitors. However, what is really important is that we are still creating a comprehensive exhibition, a visionary conference and the networking opportunities to share ideas. We are still looking forward and IBC is still the best place to meet, learn, debate and network with colleagues and peers from around the industry, and around the world. As part of our anniversary celebrations the IBC 50th Anniversary Charity Football Match takes place this evening to raise money for the Friendship Sports Centre and the Edwin van der Sar Foundation. Both charities provide support and rehabilitation, and improve the lives of children and adults faced with illness. A team of IBC Legends will take on Lucky Ajax, a team of sporting stars that will include former Ajax, Juventus, Manchester United and Netherlands goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. Kick off is at 18:30 and IBC has arranged free transfers to and from the Friendship Sports Centre. Buses will depart from Entrance C (Holland Entrance) promptly at 17:30, 18:00 and 18:30. For more information, please visit show.ibc.org/bigmatch There will be lots of opportunities for you to support these worthy causes throughout the show. Look out for donation collections at the information desks and organisers offices at the Holland and Europa Lounges or stop one of our volunteers and put a donation in their collection bucket. You can also donate online at show.ibc.org/ donate

theibcdaily Q&A OUTLINED

JP van Welsem, vice president sales and marketing, EMEA, Grass Valley Has IBC come at a good time for the electronic media industry? Why? Absolutely; it’s especially timely this year considering the impact of an increasingly and ongoing fast changing electronic media industry. The way viewers consume content today is changing, so creators and broadcasters must find ways to create, control and connect content wherever, however and whenever it is consumed.

What do you think are the key developments in, or threats to, your market sector at the current time? There are many exciting developments. Leading the way is the increasing availability of 4K Ultra HD and high dynamic range (HDR) capture in both HD and 4K, as well as advances in open standards-based IP networking. So much work is being done by the

industry and by the standards bodies, making it clear that IP is the way to go for broadcasters moving forward. With SMPTE ST 2110 on the horizon, we see a clear set of standards specifying the carriage, synchronisation and description of separate component streams over IP for the purposes of live production. The implementation of IP in broadcast is the next big step for the industry.

The Future and beyond

The focus is on multi-sensory virtual worlds and the imagery of the future

Although IBC is celebrating its 50th anniversary, it has never been an event which looks back. The exhibition is full of suggestions for the next big thing – and the IBC Future Zone is where you can see the latest ideas before they become the next big things. The IBC team scours the technology world for the latest thinking and the sharpest of cutting-edge ideas. The very best

are presented in the IBC Future Zone, which you will find in the Park Lounge, near Hall 8. This year the focus is on multi-sensory virtual worlds and the imagery of the future. How will these latest developments affect our work, our communications and our lives? Step through the ‘time tunnel’ into the domain of virtual, augmented and mixed reality (VR, AR and MXR), with

super-pixel displays, immersive experiences, holographic imagery, even – it is claimed – teleportation. Once you step into the future you can experience 3D audio, a new platform for personal interactive experiences, multi-sensory displays and haptic control of robotics. The ‘Virtual Arctic Expedition’ gives you a six-degrees-of-freedom opportunity to explore the frozen

Why should delegates visit your stand at IBC? We have several new enhancements to our live production portfolio that are comprehensively designed to handle customers’ emerging HDR, Ultra HD and IP plans while keeping them flexible and efficient.

north while staying warm, while the National Information Society Agency of South Korea will showcase plans for the 2018 Olympics in Pyongchang in Ultra HD, VR, IR, IoT and 5G. Other displays include stunning content in the sixmetre dome theatre, the latest in object-based video and audio, and video enhancement and restoration in the cloud. And that is before you pass through the ‘time tunnel’ into an area showing awe-inspiring visions. Try VR teleportation in the Holoportal facility, or the complete immersive experience using holographic telepresence images. Other displays look to take multi-device content out into the city with a new range of immersive ideas. Creative ideas include new position-mapping techniques, technologies for capturing visual parallax information for dimensional displays and tools to create and distribute cinematic VR. At the end of all this excitement is regular IBC favourite NHK from Japan with its 8K Super Hi-Vision

system, ready for public launch in time for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. This year they are focusing on the practicalities of 8K in the home, with a remarkable OLED sheet display as the centrepiece of the Living Room of the Future. Also in the Future Zone is the IBC Future Reality Theatre, which is presenting a rolling programme of demonstrations and panel discussions, today through to Monday. This morning’s programme looks at data and technology, with speakers from Madgid, NBC Universal, AMD and Technicolor setting the agenda and sparking the debates. This afternoon the talk turns to delivery of 360º immersive experiences, with debates on VR broadcasting, live streaming, and the challenges and opportunities in VR storytelling. The IBC Future Zone is open throughout the exhibition hours of IBC, until Tuesday afternoon. It is free to all visitors, as are the interesting and important sessions in the IBC Future Reality Theatre.

Today in the Content Everywhere Hub OUTLINED

Alongside more than 160 fascinating exhibitors, Hall 14 is also home to the IBC Content Everywhere Hub which hosts a free programme of presentations and debates throughout the day. The two big discussion sessions today tackle some of the key issues in our industry. At 13:00 representatives from Ooyala, Cinfo and MPP Global will talk about how IP, the cloud and artificial intelligence

are reshaping the content value chain. Through case studies and their hands-on experience, the panellists will trigger a debate on how these technologies can be harnessed to update, and often automate, established workflows to create new content propositions. This afternoon, at 15:30, panellists from Vimond, nanocosmos and EasyBroadcast will tackle the

topic of live streaming. Online platforms like Facebook, YouTube and Periscope have democratised live content, opening up opportunities for institutions, event organisers and rights owners to take control of their own content. As well as the challenges in creating content, the debate will look at the user experience and how that can be used to stand out in an increasingly crowded live streaming market.

Around these two key debates there is a full schedule of 20-minute presentations from exhibitors, starting at 10:00 today. These include some important real-world experiences which those who have fought the pioneering challenges are keen to share.

Saturday night at the movies One of the great advantages of IBC is that, having spent the day discussing the latest in sound and vision technology, you can sit back on a Saturday night and see it put to good use. Once again IBC is using all the wizardry installed in the Big Screen to showcase one of the year’s hottest movies.

Tonight, thanks to Sony Pictures Entertainment you can settle down for 112 minutes in the company of Baby Driver, director Edgar Wright’s music-driven high-tension action adventure. Baby is a young, hearing-impaired getaway driver who can make any wild move

theibcdaily OPINION OUTLINED

Understanding customer experience in OTT Many of today’s assurance solutions for OTT focus only on parts of the delivery chain and are not broad enough to understand the customer’s experience of the service delivery, according to Mikael Dahlgren, chief executive, Agama Technologies OTT technology is now a vital part of today’s video and TV distribution systems, accounting for an increasing part of the operators’ service delivery. Adaptive bitrate over IP is the obvious technology choice for VoD services, regardless if it’s for the main screen or ‘on the go’. Streaming video over various internet access technologies has added tremendously to the reach of

video services and enabled a massive increase in the amount of video we consume. As video service operators now rely on OTT technology for their services, they want to operate and manage it effectively. This includes everything from customer on-boarding to service operations and customer care. To achieve this, operators need an assurance solution that provides a 360º insight

into the service performance and usage. In spite of this, many of today’s assurance solutions for OTT focus on the distribution network performance and do not provide a holistic view of the customer’s experience of how the service is delivered. At Agama, we believe that to really understand how the customer is experiencing their service, you need an

assurance solution that covers the entire service delivery; from service creation, across the distribution network, and all the way to the performance of the player. The solution needs both passive monitoring to understand service consumption and active testing to verify service availability. Finally, and most importantly, the solution needs to offer powerful analytics capabilities that

transform the wealth of data into timely and actionable information for the operator. With our solid experience and our long-standing focus on end-to-end solutions and customer experience, we are uniquely positioned to support operators in understanding how their services are performing, regardless if they are based on OTT, legacy technologies or a mix thereof. 5.B72

Ultra HD TV: on the rise or stalling? OUTLINED

Dr Hans Hoffmann, senior manager of media production technology, EBU Although the Ultra HD baseband and distribution standards are set, Ultra HD broadcast offerings are still exceedingly rare. Consumers get Ultra HD content mostly on Ultra HD Blu-Ray, via pay-TV operators such as Sky or via OTTs such as Netflix and Amazon, who ‘own’ their ecosystem. For broadcasters, there are several factors that are slowing down broader market adoption. Even though there is now a consensus that high dynamic range (HDR) is a must-have for any new service in Ultra HD and that it adds significant value even to HD TV, broadcasters are concerned about the operational impact and unsure about what the right investment decision might be. Industry players are being short-sighted in the belief that pushing individual HDR solutions will drive market adoption more quickly and to their own benefit. But the opposite has been the case: investments and new service roll-outs have been put on hold until the industry stabilises. Great hopes were placed in two associations designed to avoid this situation: the Ultra HD Alliance, “created with the consumer in mind” and focused on Quality of Experience; and the Ultra HD Forum, which is meant to “bring together market leaders from every part of the industry – broadcasters, service providers, consumer electronics and technology vendors – to collaborate”. The EBU became a member of both associations to ensure that broadcasters’ requirements would be taken into account, but rested its membership in the Ultra HD Alliance in July 2017 following a decision of the EBU Technical Committee.

The cross-conversion, logo and metadata battlegrounds Currently there is a lot of discussion about cross-conversion between different HDR standards, support for HDR in end-user devices,

28 IBC D2 2017 v1JRJMcK.indd 1

backwards compatibility and whether to use static or dynamic metadata or no metadata at all. In similar situations in the past, forward-looking and unique logos, such as Digital Europe’s HDTV logos, have served as useful orientation points for the market. For Ultra HD, several logos are currently competing. The current Digital Europe Ultra HD Logo concentrates on resolution only and a long-awaited update is pending. The Ultra HD Alliance has created a Ultra HD Premium Logo and maintains a short list of compliant products on its website. HDR10+, issued by Samsung and Amazon, uses dynamic metadata, based on a SMPTE standard, similar to Dolby Vision. And Eurofins has defined another scheme called 4K HDR Ultra HD.

Higher frame rate TV: the next big thing? Studies conducted by the BBC, EBU, the 4Ever project and NHK have proven the perceptible value of higher frame rate (HFR) television (for HD and Ultra HD), especially for fast-motion genres. Considering the cyclical nature of feature roll-outs by the consumer electronics industry for their large screens (from 3DTV, to 4K resolution, to wider colour gamut and today HDR), it would seem that HFR could well be the next big thing. It would also seem to be an easier transition, since there are only two main choices: 100 or 120Hz (120/1.001). In reality, a number of questions are still unresolved: will CE devices apply simple or more sophisticated frame rate conversion algorithms, or will they depend on a true higher frame rate broadcast signal? And what about interfaces such as HDMI to carry HFR signals? In distribution, the bitrate increase of an HFR signal would be moderate due to entropy gain. But backwards compatibility issues with legacy standard frame rate (SFR) systems need to be solved.

On the production side, HFR-capable camera systems are available, but handling the huge uncompressed bitrates is challenging and requires costly high-bitrate IP networks for live production. HFR-suitable mezzanine compression systems are an option, but they will require standardisation and add complexity in the production chain. With all the technology options of BT.2020, ideally, the industry would aim for an adaptive TV system that chooses the appropriate resolution, dynamic range and frame rate based

on the suitability for a certain content genre.

Suggestion to the industry The industry often asks the EBU for clear signals about when public service broadcasters will be rolling out Ultra HD TV services. The EBU, however, is obliged to act in the interest of its members by jointly working towards a manageable number of open and stable standards, by providing market guidance and by developing operational best practices. The industry has created a very fragmented environment,

which made it difficult for public broadcasters to jump on the Ultra HD train. If the industry really wants to introduce large-scale innovations such as Ultra HD TV and have that followed by rapid investments from broadcasters and content providers, then a different approach is needed: an alliance between users and industry around a limited number of clearly defined standards (and logos). The opportunity is still there for the next big thing – HFR television or even an adaptive TV system.

Comux centralises transmission for TTV Making a case for fibre OUTLINED

aQ Broadcast

Bexel

By Heather McLean

By David Fox

The UK Local TV Network, operated by Comux UK, this year upgraded to a centralised transmission system supporting all twelve That’s TV (TTV) city-based studios. The new system was specifically designed by aQ Broadcast to fit the TTV workflow, and the company is discussing its work with Comux here in Amsterdam. TTV channels run 24/7 with a mix of news coverage from the local studios along with long-form shows. Production and scheduling is handled locally and all transmission originates at the Comux network operations centre (NOC) in Birmingham, UK. All playout for the TTV group runs on aQ aVS transmission servers. In the central system there are five of these video engines, each providing support for up to three parallel channels, with four machines handling

The Fibre Mini Booth Kit is a compact unit that uses audio, video, intercom and IFB equipment to connect a commentary or presentation booth with an outside broadcast unit. The OB can be connected up to about 900m away, without signal degradation, over six strands of single-mode tactical fibre-optic cabling. It gives productions the ability to send and receive signals over 12 bi-directional video paths (six each way), 16 audio paths (eight microphones, eight intercoms), and four IFB channels, and offers an optional robotic camera interface with Ethernet control over pan, tilt and zoom. The lightweight racked module (which has

Each transmission server also provides caption, graphics and branding capability for the channels it supports, based on the specific transmission schedule. A critical piece of the centralised system and the element that links the dozen local studios to the NOC is the media asset management (MAM) system from aQ Broadcast. The MAM database is based on the aQ QSIA architecture and manages all content across the central system, both on the central store and at the local site-based

servers. This topology enables users to view all media assets, whether created centrally or by any of the local studios, and to input placeholders for content still under production. The aQ MAM automatically populates the placeholders when the matching asset is available. Neil Hutchins. CEO, aQ Broadcast, said: “An important aspect of the TTV operations is that the output of each channel is closely monitored, so that in the event a live feed fails or a schedule runs short, the system auto-inserts a holding graphic until the fault is cleared.”

suitcase-style handles and wheels for easy transport) is claimed to be very user friendly and can be moved around and set up within minutes, making it useful for smaller productions with only a single on-site technical manager to set up the various fibre paths. It “offers the same rugged functionality of its larger predecessor, but is housed in a custom case less than half the size”, said Edd Bonner, Bexel VP of engineering and operations. 12.E65 Well connected: Bexel’s new, smaller, Fibre Mini Booth Kit

The last pieces of the puzzle come together Oscar Teran, head of technology and solutions, Eurovision Media Services For a number of years now, the media industry has been transforming itself and its production workflows to be more digital using IP-based technology and virtualisation. This has been done to meet increasing demands from consumers to access content on a multitude of different devices. However, this has not been an easy task and is far from perfect. Contributing to more channels means additional resources are needed and this has put pressure on traditional broadcasters to review their business plans in order to incorporate new workflows and develop their own digital platforms to showcase and manage their content within the same budgets. Today, the developments of IP production standards, such as SMPTE 2110, and the acceleration of cloud computing technologies are opening the doors to innovation and introducing systemic changes to traditional linear and non-linear production workflows. Our goal is to ensure that media organisations can also embed and process real-time data so they can provide a better user experience for any audience. Somehow, the pieces of the puzzle that were difficult to put together before (due to lack of interoperability, etc), now start to match and converge, allowing media organisations to connect traditional TV production facilities to new, software-defined platforms that push packaged content to multiple media consumption outlets. Once this is in place, big data and artificial intelligence will further spread these horizons in the future, helping media organisations to better engage with audiences and provide personalised content with more relevant advertising.

Since the last IBC, we see many new players entering the media industry, announcing disruption and promising access to all these enabling technologies. However, does the value only come in accessing technologies? Could we just say that massive OTT investments will help content owners and media organisations to gain audience engagement in a short period of time? The answer is not that easy and straightforward. Nowadays, we see that a large majority of successful companies do not reinvent the wheel. Instead, they focus their energy on understanding the needs of their clients and finding the best solutions to allow users to find what they need quickly and easily. This process has a lot of value at the moment, however, we aim to do more. By integrating and adapting technologies through software solutions, we give media organisations more than

just access and transport. In this respect, we combine virtualisation, robust network technology, operational expertise, and production functionalities to enable the delivery of fast, attractive media tools for producing, packaging and delivering content to multiple outlets. Over the last year, we have been developing a B2B service platform to support media organisations and content owners to re-purpose and personalise their content offerings. Content control is key so our new generation platforms and services (such as Eurovision FLEX or Eurovision NEX) are set up to allow media organisations to go beyond the flawless satellite, fibre, cloud or IP content distribution and gain true command of their content processing, packaging and distribution. Eurovision Media Services is proud to showcase our latest development at this year’s IBC. 10.F20

ND filters put HDR in contrast OUTLINED

Arri By David Fox Arri has released its first external filter, with its new Full Spectrum Neutral Density (FSND) filter range. Designed for the Alexa Mini and Amira, they are claimed to offer the “highest contrast and true colour transmittance for HDR capture”. The two cameras already come with an internal FSND filter that is purely colour

neutral, and Arri wanted to offer external filters of the same quality. The Arri FSND filter comes in 6.6x6.6-inch and 4x5.65-inch sizes, using Schott B270i glass polished completely flat on both sides of the filter with completely parallel surfaces. This is important when using a wide-open telephoto lens, as areas of the focal plane can become soft. There are eight filters, ranging from 0.3 to 2.4 ND. Unlike most external filters, which have

Laura Loredo

Tape storage takes a leading role in addressing growing data needs The LTO Program’s Laura Loredo (Hewlett-Packard Enterprise), Carlos Sandoval Castro (IBM), and Terry Cochran (Quantum) describe how tape storage can help address the industry’s capacity needs cameras shooting concurrently in addition to needing numerous takes and recording at a variety of locations, the amount of raw footage can compound very quickly. That’s where LTO tape technology comes in to keep costs down. Additionally, LTO technology with the Linear Tape File System (LTFS) has helped transform video storage in the media and entertainment industry. In an industry that requires access to specific files quickly, LTFS works in conjunction with LTO tape technology for ease-of-use, swift access and portability. Simply drag and drop a file from the workstation hard drive onto the tape icon for fast and

Focus on the future of the video ecosystem AWS Elemental By Ian McMurray Focusing on innovations in video production, distribution and asset management at IBC, AWS Elemental is also sharing insights into how it sees the future of the video ecosystem. The company is hosting a series of conference

sessions and on-stand technology demonstrations to help content providers take full advantage of next-generation video processing and delivery workflows. AWS Elemental is demonstrating a variety of workflows and technologies, all of which run in the cloud and on-premises. These include broadcast of HDR 10

and HLG channels using any combination of HLG, HDR 10 and SDR source content with AWS Elemental Live. The company claimed this enables broadcasters to launch HDR channels with a mix of existing SDR and HDR content, including promotions, advertisements, motion graphic overlay and program content.

Bolero and MediorNet make life simple Riedel Communications By Heather McLean The new Bolero wireless intercom system and MediorNet real-time network from Riedel Communications played a key role in crew communications for the Hillsong Conference, a spiritual gathering of more than

22,000 attendees that took place earlier this year at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney. Riedel is talking about the project at IBC. With 55 Bolero belt packs distributed to production team members throughout the arena and backstage, the Hillsong Conference marked the world’s largest Bolero deployment to date, said Riedel. In addition, 40

Up and running only five hours after the truck doors opened, the MediorNet network transported, routed and processed every live and broadcast video signal from cameras to screens, with routing capacity of more than

intuitive protection. LTFS is supported on versions of Windows, Linux and Mac OS. Lastly, with a more forward-looking view, the current LTO Ultrium roadmap has tape technology mapped out through 12 generations. This provides confidence in the storage market that tape will continue to be a cost-effective and reliable option for managing post-production and high-volume storage in the media and entertainment industry for years to come. If your project is producing massive amounts of data, think of LTO technology for an affordable and easy-to-use solution. 6.A21

Also featured is Live Channel Playout, a software-based approach to linear 24/7 broadcast channel creation designed to reduce video workflow complexity, improve resilience and lower operational costs. Additionally, AWS Elemental is demonstrating its ability to manage massive VoD libraries, spotlighting the simplified management of VoD content libraries as a 1,000Gbps over 14 multicore fibre cables. The entire backbone was centrally monitored and controlled by the Riedel team. For intercom, the team deployed more than 200 Artist digital matrix ports for Bolero beltpacks, Riedel 1100 series panels and SmartPanel control panels. Thanks to Bolero’s proprietary Advanced DECT Receiver (ADR), communications for the entire main arena were easily handled from a single antenna location.

data. That’s a lot of raw data. Many media companies are already using LTO tape drives to store their digital files. This task is not an easy feat, however, given that 4K cinema cameras, for example, produce incredible volumes of data. With an increasing amount of video productions being shot in 4K, the need for reliable digital storage continues to grow. It is important to note just how large these files can be. UHD formats require about twice the storage as the standard 1080p HD resolution. On average, it is estimated that one hour of 4K video requires about 110GB of digital storage. With most productions using multiple

Carlos Sandoval Castro

It has been predicted that between 2013 and 2018, the media and entertainment industry will see a 5.8 times increase in required digital storage capacity. With this ever-growing demand for data storage, it is vital for entertainment professionals to find an economical, reliable, durable and high-volume storage solution to preserve their content. The answer is LTO technology. Not only do LTO tapes last for up to 30 years, but LTO-7 tape cartridges can also hold 15TB* of compressed data each. To put this number into perspective, one animated film can produce up to 65 million hours of footage, the equivalent of 250TB of

The company is also unveiling updates to cloud migration and workflow support as well as new capabilities for delivering superior augmented and virtual reality experiences. 5.C80

Ricki Cook, head of audio, Hillsong, said: “Bolero has reassured my confidence in wireless comms, as no other product on the market has performed to the level that Bolero did during Hillsong Conference. Deciding to use MediorNet as the abstraction layer and backbone interface between all companies and departments involved meant any changes to routing between audio, communications and vision was quick and easy.” 10.A31

Split bets on AoIP AEQ

By Mark Hallinger A new ‘split’ version of AEQ’s Forum IP mixing console is on show. The Forum IP Split is a direct result of customer requests for greater flexibility, said AEQ. The new version offers the control surface as a separate unit from the Engine or Core. Further, the control surface has been split into modules that can be installed individually. Interconnection between the

modules and to the engine is made with standard Cat5 wiring using RJ45 connectors. They also can be embedded in to studio furniture. From a configuration and operation point of view, Forum IP Split is no different from the original, self-contained version. However, this new model supports larger configurations with up to 24 fader channels. The set-up and configuration application is still ‘the easiest to use available on the market’, claimed AEQ.

All hail the viewer! OUTLINED

Peter White, chief executive, IABM Firstly, I’d like to congratulate IBC on its 50th birthday and welcome everyone to its biggest ever show – a record amount of stand space taken, a bulging conference and a predicted record number of visitors too. However, it is not just more of the same – in fact, it’s not really the same at all anymore. For so many of those 50 years, our industry has remained a recognisable entity. We may have moved from black and white to colour, analogue to digital, SD to HD but the fundamental business model always remained the same – principally one-to-many, advertising or subscription-based. Over the last few years, we have seen growth in internet-delivered VoD, but traditional broadcasting (or ‘managed linear’ as it is now becoming known) still commanded the vast majority of revenues.

Looking back just a year, IBC2016 arguably marked the point where the whole industry accepted that change was inevitable, and was happening fast. The IP Interoperability Zone at last year’s show personified the new world order, with suppliers and end-users seen to be working together in a way never before witnessed: towards a common goal, creating flexible production and delivery systems to enable end-users to feed their hungry, flighty audiences. One year on, and we are much further down that road. IABM’s recent survey of end-users showed that multi-platform delivery is the number one technology priority for broadcast and media companies, and their top consideration in choosing technology is improved efficiency and ROI.

Many have also either moved or are moving to the cloud for playout. We now have real-world IP-based facilities such as Telemundo’s $250m all-IP SMPTE ST 2110-based facility in Miami, Florida, which will come online in 2018. The momentum is building, and when the ST 2110 suite of real-time IP signal flow standards is finally published via the SMPTE digital library (slated for late 2017), those who have been holding back due to standards uncertainty and the fear of following an expensive blind alley will join the change. Even though 4K is yet to take off as a mainstream delivery format, the industry is already provisioning for 4K in acquisition. UHD TV sets are becoming commonplace in the home and demand for content is increasing. Explaining Telemundo’s investment in an

all-IP facility, Jeff Mayzurk, the senior vice president of operations and technology for NBCU Telemundo Enterprises, said: “To get format independence [and] be able to go to 4K and higher frame rates and high dynamic range and whatever the next standard beyond UHD-1 is.” Overwhelmingly IP is the answer for UHD delivery; IP will enable 4K – it’s just a matter of time. What’s driving all this change is a power shift in the industry; thanks to the internet and the growth in 4G mobile delivery, the viewer is now in charge, deciding what content they will consume, whenever and wherever they demand it. This means that broadcasters and media companies have to be agile and responsive to chase and retain this fragmented audience, and that requires a different business model – being able to scale up and down in moments or launch new services in the blink of an eye. In consequence, they are moving from a capex to an opex business model, aided by cloud and IP technology.

#IBCShow

The result is that as the viewers fragment, the industry is necessarily moving closer together; vendors and their end-user customers sharing roadmaps and collaborating to design and implement agile solutions to meet the new challenges and take full advantage of the opportunities – always driven by moment-by-moment ROI considerations, underpinned by subscription services. IABM’s 2017 Global Market Valuation and Strategy Report shows a largely static supply industry in market size terms, while confidence levels in the end-user business have never been stronger. However, just the fact that we have a record number of exhibitors at this IBC reflects the underlying confidence in the future for vendors too. Business models are indeed changing and causing pain for some in the short to medium term, but for those companies that transform their businesses to keep pace with the monumental changes going on, the future looks bright. All hail the viewer!

Video processing to meet OTT demands

KVM for physical and virtual servers

Advantech

Black Box

By Heather McLean The Vega-3318, released earlier this year, is a media processing accelerator supporting professional grade real-time AVC and HEVC transcoding of eight 4Kp60 video streams on a PCI Express card, with a power consumption below 100W. Here at IBC, Advantech is introducing the Vega-3318 to media service providers, showing them how they can integrate it into a variety of server configurations, using Advantech’s Linux and Windows SDK for reduced time to market cloud-based video delivery solutions. Up to four Vega-3318 accelerators can be integrated in a 1U GPU server, enabling 32 UHD transcodes per RU, which Advantech claimed brings ‘unprecedented’ density to large-scale data centre deployments.

40 IBC D2 2017 v1JRJMcK.indd 1

The growing demand for OTT-delivered live content is disrupting broadcasting and mobile business models, noted Advantech. This fundamental change in consumers’ behaviour opens up new opportunities for media companies and service providers but it also outstrips the processing capabilities of their infrastructure, which they look to optimise by using agile cloud-based architectures. The company claimed that traditional data centre hardware is not well suited to video processing, especially when multiple high-definition

live channels require real-time manipulation, yet it said the Vega-3318 fills this gap by providing the acceleration required to efficiently scale video processing across a wide range of live UHD cloud applications from OTT transcoding and broadcast encoding to gaming and mobile video. Advantech’s Vega-3318 integrates eight Socionext MB86M30 SoCs, supporting UHD, HD and SD formats and HEVC, AVC and MPEG-2 codecs including 10-bit profiles and 4:2:2 chroma subsampling. 11.C32

By Mark Hallinger InvisaPC enables high-performance and scalable KVM extension and switching for both physical and virtual servers. At IBC, Black Box is showcasing the product’s new design and improved feature set. The system is now housed in an industrial enclosure and expands KVM functionality to include audio and RS232 connectivity. The product’s updated physical architecture also allows for more convenient and dense rack mounting. Beyond these new features, the new model maintains all of its predecessor’s capabilities. It provides use of on-site and remote servers, and streamlines HD video and USB connectivity with the ability to access virtualised machines with the same single-user interface as traditional systems.

Updated form factor: Up to six InvisaPCs can ﬁt on a single 1U tray

InvisaPC’s KVM-over-IP approach makes it possible to relocate computers and virtual machines from the desktop to a secure, climate-controlled equipment room or cloud environment. From the new location, the PC would be connected to an InvisaPC transmitter, supporting digital 1080p video, audio and USB peripheral extension across IP networks. Each desktop would also have its own keyboard, monitor, mouse and peripheral setup connected to an InvisaPC receiver. The result is a high-performance, real-time experience for the most demanding environments, claimed Black Box. 8.B59

great content while we take care of the complexities of an industry in transition to IP.” 10.B41

With the industry transition to software-centric, IP-based technology, the broadcast equipment manufacturer has updated a number of its control, audio monitoring and power management solutions. These aim to simplify SDI/IP workflows and streamline operations supporting customers during the transition to IP. The latest versions, including compliance with the emerging SMPTE 2110 family of standards, are being unveiled here. TSL Products’ catalogue of audio monitoring solutions provide practical functionality for various broadcast applications, from critical level metering, to integrity monitoring of surround sound for TV channels on transmission. IBC is witnessing updates to its MPA1 Dante confidence monitoring series to include support of AES-67 (and thereby further support for Ravenna and Hydra2 networks). AES-67 defines the IP audio transport layer in SMPTE 2110. TSL Products’ PAM-IP audio monitoring devices, which feature twin Ethernet ports, can also now be used either in Dante or AES-67, modes, making them ideal for use across the SDI-to-IP infrastructure transition, as the installation moves towards a unified SMPTE solution. Both ranges also now feature SNMP monitoring and control, which means they can be managed remotely by TSL Products’ TallyMan or other SNMP management systems for the first time. Existing users of the MPA1 can install the improved functionality as a free download. Chris Exelby, MD, TSL Products, said: “We are the trusted partner, providing solutions which support our customers, allowing them to concentrate on producing

The next century of SMPTE OUTLINED

Barbara Lange, executive director, SMPTE The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE), the organisation whose standards work has supported a century of advances in entertainment technology, celebrated its centennial last year and is now looking towards the next 100 years. Since its founding in 1916, SMPTE has received an Oscar and multiple technical Emmy Awards for its work in advancing moving imagery engineering across the industry. SMPTE has developed thousands of standards, recommended practices and engineering guidelines, more than 800 of which are currently in force today. These standards promote interoperability between systems and manufacturers while providing end users with a broad choice of products. An average of 50 new standards documents are generated each year focused on cinema, television, internet video, audio and associated metadata. The Society’s global membership today includes more than 7,000 individuals – approximately 15 per cent of whom are located in European SMPTE Sections including the Nordic region, Germany, Poland and the

UK – who volunteer their time and expertise to standards development and educational initiatives. A partnership with the Hollywood Professional Association (HPA) connects SMPTE and its membership with the businesses and individuals who support the creation, production and distribution of media content. As SMPTE marks the beginning of its second century, it continues to address the evolution of the media business and the tools and workflows supporting it. To this end, the Society has recently published two reports. The Time Code Summit Report presents findings on current user requirements, and the MXF Time Code Study Report facilitates a more efficient use of Time Code in Material eXchange Format (MXF). Both reports offer valuable insights into how the SMPTE Time Code standard (ST 12-1 Time and Control Code) can evolve to serve as a more useful tool in media production. The reports are now available at www.smpte.org/ committee-reports. The SMPTE Standards Community has also been working to complete and publish the SMPTE ST 2110 suite of standards, which allow for separate routing of video,

audio and ANC data flows over professional IP networks in real time to support broadcast production and playout applications. Several of the T 2110 standards documents are nearing completion, and publication via the SMPTE digital library is tentatively slated for later this year. SMPTE will host a session here at IBC2017 on Monday, 18 September, which will address the potential and practical implementation of ST 2110. Industry experts including SMPTE Fellow Thomas Edwards, vice president of engineering and development at Fox, and SMPTE president Matthew Goldman, senior vice president of technology at Ericsson, will provide an overview of the ST 2110 standards 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. To see ST 2110 in action, show delegates can also make their way to the IP Showcase, which will feature more than 40 vendors in a demonstration of interoperability based on the standards suite.

SMPTE ST 2067, or IMF, is a global standard for the file-based interchange of multiversion finished audio/ visual works. The joint pilot project will deliver a technical specification for IMF in broadcast and online applications as a breakdown of different elements — video and audio packages, composition playlists (CPLs), and output profile lists (OPLs) — with references to all relevant SMPTE standards. Once complete, this material will be made available to manufacturers so that they can design and build readers, writers and analysers. The draft and final proposal stages will move forward in conjunction with a series of plug-fests and product tests. The final publication of the IMF specification is expected to take place before the 2018 NAB Show.

Focus on IP and live production Ross Video

By Heather McLean The Canadian company is actively researching how IP can be effectively applied to live production broadcasts. The premise from Ross is that live production facilities producing content such as news will be increasingly based on data

centre technology because it promises the benefits of utilisation, automation, flexibility, scalability, resilience and even choice of business models. The systems that unlock this promise do so by distributing production content as IP video and audio, virtualising software production applications and orchestrating production workloads over their lifecycle, said Ross.

At the Ross stand here at IBC, an entire news production workflow has been virtualised, making use of Ross DashBoard. It includes inception news rundown authoring and control, OverDrive production automation, Streamline asset management and four channels of XPression motion graphics.

Its media control plane uses MOS, and AV content is OUTLINED transported as NDI. The whole system deploys onto 2RU of COTS server and uses generic switches, to demonstrate a major increase in system density. In the next phase, the orchestration will be extended to manage SDI-based systems such as logically partitioned production switchers and routers; and the IP video options will be

augmented to offer ST-2110 in addition to NDI. John Naylor, technology strategist, Ross Video, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the work done so far, we contend that hybrid solutions will be commonplace, and will include existing SDI equipment, new softwaredefined hardware and fully virtualised applications. It will require a new set of tools and open standards to deliver software-defined production.â&#x20AC;? 11.C10

T10 goes to Xtreme lengths for AR/VR Egripment By David Fox The carbon fibre telescoping Xtreme T10 crane has been designed to offer the precise and smooth operation required for augmented and virtual reality. Richard Villhaber, sales director, Egripment, explained: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rather than first building a

crane, then deciding how to make it work for this fast-growing segment of the broadcast and film industry, we engineered the Xtreme T10 directly towards AR/VR utilisation.â&#x20AC;? The new crane is equally suitable for conventional telescoping crane use. All the axes of the crane arm, dolly and telescoping column may be fully

encoded to become an integral part of any AR/VR system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Xtreme T10 Telescoping Crane is the result of a perfect combination of top quality design and advanced engineering technology,â&#x20AC;? claimed Villhaber.

Multicam has added dynamic social media moderation to Visual Radio

By David Fox A tight connection between Visual Radio and social media can help broadcasters engage online audiences, according to Multicam Systems. The company is demonstrating enhanced social media capabilities in its automated Multicam Radio system. New social media ingest and filtering features simplify social media moderation. Rather than displaying a continuous feed of all posts, operators now have full control of which tweets and Facebook comments to show. Operators can immediately filter and move approved content into the display queue, and quickly overlay graphic scenes. Beyond operational benefits for broadcasters, improved social media integration also has experiential benefits for viewers, said the company. Stan Walbert, CEO, Multicam Systems, said: “Visual Radio is all about engaging the audience in a broader way. Terrestrial radio remains a strong medium worldwide, and as broadcasters build onto their traditional audiences with strong online and mobile programming, social media is without a doubt a significant part of the visual element. Our new toolset makes it easier for broadcasters to moderate and deliver an engaging social media platform, while audience interaction is amplified through the ability to share video content and provide input across the social network.” Multicam Radio integrates with audio consoles and automation systems for video acquisition, mixing and playout, with fully automated, semi-automated and manual operation options.

Frusina: aiming to “solve connectivity and bandwidth challenges”

Dejero By David Fox Improvements to connectivity for sending video back over IP or bonded networks, particularly when on the move or having to cope with low-bitrate connections, are being shown by Dejero. Bogdan Frusina, founder, Dejero, said: “In order to speed up production workflows and overall operational efficiency, reporters and production crews need to be able to work in the field as if they were back at the broadcast facility. But for that to happen they need access to reliable and secure broadband connectivity while on location. We are showcasing an array of solutions here in Amsterdam that solve connectivity and bandwidth challenges that field personnel encounter trying to get content back to base.” This includes the Dejero Gateway in-vehicle mobile connectivity system, which allows crews working on location to send and receive large files and access newsroom or media asset management systems, or cloud services. Also represented is Dejero’s new EnGo Vehicle Mount Kit, which has an integrated signal booster, providing a mounting inside a vehicle that connects to roof-mounted high-gain antennas. This is of particular interest to crews broadcasting live while they travel to a location, and where cellular connectivity may be

theibcdaily OPINION OUTLINED

Use the flexible IP network for your HDMI signals too The benefits of transporting audio and video signals over IP are not limited to applications that are based on SDI interfaces, says Jean-Marie Cloquet, product line manager, Barco Silex HDMI is one of the most common audio and video interfaces in use, particularly in the consumer space. But it is also the primary interface for many professional audio and video systems. The broadcast market, although largely dominated by SDI connectivity, also makes use of HDMI. HDMI connectivity can be found on many high-quality audio and video sources and displays. Bringing HDMI signals over IP enables increased flexibility and scalability of your installation, in the same way as it does for SDI. Actually, this is largely due to the nature of Ethernet/ IP networks rather than the physical multimedia interface. An IP network can be used to transport all types of data, including audio and video. It only makes use of regular

switches and cables, the same as are used in the IT industry. The network is then very flexible and scalable to the specific need of the application. It doesn’t require dedicated video routers. Of course, transporting real-time audio and video over IP brings other challenges such as synchronisation, latency and bandwidth. Our Viper solution for distributing HDMI signals over IP overcomes all these challenges. The system integrator or manufacturer can simply configure the hardware boards through a web interface or API. The network acts as a full matrix, where any source can be sent to any display. It is also possible to multicast or broadcast the same content to multiple displays. The sources and displays are synchronised

thanks to the PTP (Precision Time Protocol). Barco Silex is better known for its hardware implementation of the JPEG 2000 codec and more recently the VC-2 HQ. JPEG 2000 is well known in the broadcast market and enables the best compression/quality trade-off as an intra-frame codec. VC-2 HQ, however, is known for its simplicity. It is perfectly suited for relatively low compression ratio and extremely low latency, still guaranteeing a visually lossless image. Our current Viper solution embeds the VC-2 HQ codec. It effectively reduces the network bandwidth required by the video transport without affecting the latency. The compression ratio can be adjusted to the quality requirements of an installation including visually lossless broadcast quality.

Additionally, VC-2 HQ is an open standard initially invented by BBC R&D. The network stream generated by the Viper board is therefore not proprietary. Open source software or third-party applications can be used to generate or capture the video stream of the Viper boards.

System integrators and manufacturers that need an OEM solution to efficiently interface multiple HDMI sources and displays within a cost-effective IP network, please come by our booth for a live demonstration. 10.D31

Many mics: Multiple mic management made more mellow

OUTLINED

Dan Dugan Sound Design

By Mark Hallinger The Model E-3A automatic microphone mixing controller with AES digital I/O is designed to connect to standard mixing consoles via insert points. According to the company, this makes it a versatile and useful tool for sound engineers who frequently manage multiple microphones in live venues, such as television talk shows, sportscasts, town hall meetings, or corporate events. The Model E-3A replaces the prior Model E-3. The new version incorporates a bright OLED front panel which is used for automix gain display, management of six matrix mixing busses, and other control functions. The E-3A accommodates 16 channels of AES I/O at 48kHz or 96kHz, and may be easily linked to other Dugan digital mixers for system expansion, said the company. Alternatively, users may utilise AES and ADAT I/O simultaneously for a maximum of 32 channels at 48kHz. Up to six internal matrix mixing busses may be patched to any chosen outputs. Sixteen automixed channels, 16 unprocessed AES inputs and 16 unprocessed ADAT inputs are all available for a total of 48 inputs to each matrix bus. The internal matrix busses create additional flexibility in a user’s mixing configuration. For example, a matrix bus could be used to create an automix inside the E-3A instead of using console insert points, or the busses could be used to create mix-minus outputs for commentators’ cue speakers, or to taper the gain of nearby ceiling speakers in a conference room application.

New companies, new business models: broadcast in transition OUTLINED

John Ive, director of strategic insight, IABM It’s very easy to cite the ongoing importance and persistence of broadcast as we know it; much of the available data shows stable viewing figures and revenues, with perhaps a small decline in the former but this varies across the world. For some reluctantly acknowledging the growth in other viewing options, reassurance is provided by research which indicates we are watching more video in total and a little less broadcast content. However, taking comfort from the current statistics and then extrapolating forward to make the case for broadcast as untouchable may, in hindsight, be seen as complacent and fatally flawed. Many business leaders recognise that the best time to make radical changes is when a company is operating at its peak, despite the temptation to sit back and enjoy the spoils of success. The seeds of disruption are often sown well before business performance or the viewing figures indicate radical change is happening. In fact, for many of us it runs far deeper; being in denial of the new era or innovation can

really be a threat. It’s easy to list all the weaknesses of a new enterprise in its formative days when comparing it to a mature fully developed incumbent approach. Two immediate examples come to mind and both relate to the world of IT. They are the use of IP in production and the internet.

In the studio In the case of IP, we are currently on the cusp of seeing traditional studio infrastructures replaced with IP routers and associated IT infrastructure; software, hardware and technology that until recently was declared not fit for purpose. Common defensive claims were that broadcast video runs at too high a data rate for IT systems to handle and that television requires deterministic video timing which IT systems don’t offer. A few years back that was true but with the huge investment in IT systems compared to broadcast, performance is much faster and with the help of smart (young) engineers a solution has been found to make deterministic video possible too.

So now the video production industry can take advantage of mass-produced technology, adapted for video use. Over a short period of years, chief technology officers are no longer planning to create large infrastructures based on traditional Serial Digital Interfaces (SDI). This entire part of the industry is adopting a dramatic change for the better – but one which runs much deeper than hardware products. Products are shifting from hardware to software focused, new workflows are being contemplated, and expanded use of the cloud in production is imminent. For technology suppliers, this means a significant change in products offered, skills required and business models. If plans for this were not made several years ago then it’s going to be a mad rush to transform the business and the culture of a company which has huge momentum based upon traditional business models.

Delivery to consumers Not so long ago it was easy to condemn Internet delivery as inadequate, in part because of a lack of bandwidth (or

data rates). At a time when most internet links to the home were less than 1Mb/s and penetration was poor, justifiably it could be argued that quality and reach were totally inadequate. There were two fundamental flaws in this argument; firstly, internet speeds have risen and in developed parts of the world 50 to 100Mb/s is not unusual, which is more than adequate for video delivery. The second flaw is the assumption that 100 per cent penetration is necessary for a successful business model. The obvious modern-day examples are YouTube and Netflix. Both have had a huge impact on the broadcast and media industry. The internet has several compelling benefits compared to broadcast which, with hindsight, make it the disrupter it has become. These include: easy access in the home; wireless use of mobiles; a single device for multiple applications (text, email, social media, etc); access to huge libraries of content; and commodity priced technology. There were several attempts to make dedicated portable mobile broadcast devices but when the

functionality list above is considered it becomes clear it was a lost cause. Broadcast television is now just one component in the mix of viewing options available. We are already seeing video replace what was previously communicated on paper or as audio only. With the new flexibility, video is becoming an online training tool, a two-way communication tool and much more. It has also given creatives without the resources to appear on mainstream television the opportunity to be seen and heard.

Endless possibilities The future is exciting as doors open to endless possibilities, no longer restricted by industry monopolies and expensive entry. However, taking advantage of these opportunities for enterprises with a long and successful traditional history requires radical action which is not easy to do; legacy commitments and legacy thinking are serious inhibitors. The biggest risk is assuming that today’s success will continue without radical change. By the time change becomes undeniable, it may be too late.

Ghost in the machine Calrec By Mark Hallinger Demonstrating its new features on the Calrec stand is the RP1 Remote Production Unit. The company said it addresses an increasingly prevalent requirement for high-quality content from remote events which cannot always justify the time or expense of sending dedicated resources. RP1 consists of a 2U core

56 IBC D2 2017 v1JRJMcK.indd 1

that contains an integrated FPGA-based DSP, enabling a console surface at another facility to control all mixing functionality. The RP1 core manages all of the processing for IFB routing and remote monitor mixes, and it does so locally with no latency. This level of integration and remote control makes it simple for any remote mix engineer to set up IFB mixes and eradicates any delay for remote listeners or

presenters, said Calrec. The RP1 core quickly embeds audio into existing videotransport mechanisms, while its modular I/O backbone accepts any of Calrec’s I/O cards. This versatility means the RP1 can connect via analogue, AES, MADI, SDI, and the latest AoIP solutions such as AES67, Ravenna and Dante. At IBC2017, Calrec is introducing a suite of new features on the RP1: including a 2-band filter and 4-band EQ, expander and gate facilities,

compressor and sidechain EQ facilities, direct output for all remote faders (up to 5.1

wide), and remote aux sends via Calrec Assist. 8.C61

OTT

Leveraging the latest OTT technology to deliver the greatest, most lucrative OTT content Broadcasters, studios and other content publishers are now realizing the full potential of over-the-top (OTT) content delivery, thanks to the ongoing maturation of video streaming platforms and services. Working with streaming and distribution technology partners, they can deliver programming and advertising that look, feel and act like traditional broadcast TV, but with a unique degree of personalization and the flexibility of anywhere, anytime viewing. An end-to-end platform for video streaming can give content publishers the tools needed to encode, package and deliver content to each viewer. They need to keep an eye on the full delivery infrastructure, even the “last mile”, and leverage this information in real time to offer the best possible and most personalized experience to all viewers. The aggregation and intelligent application of data on viewer habits and preferences allows publishers to go one step further and serve up timely, relevant content that’s likely to satisfy the individual viewer and extend his or her viewing sessions.

At the same time, today’s sophisticated end-to-end video streaming platforms are becoming increasingly effective and agile in supporting demanding applications and new use cases. Despite many obstacles to

IBC template.indd 1

success, live streaming at scale has become relatively straightforward, resulting in the live broadcast TV experience that media consumers expect. Unprecedented personalization, smooth live streaming and support for new formats are examples of how OTT services can transform the viewing experience. The evolution of the technologies and platforms supporting OTT delivery is also changing the very nature of content creation workflows and the publishing business itself. By incorporating a cloud-based content intelligence system into the overall online video production and distribution pipeline, today’s streaming platforms are able to automate key processes across this pipeline and provide the timely and accurate cost, performance and revenue insights, into each piece of content, essential to building a profitable OTT service. Although TV Everywhere and OTT providers are finding ever-greater success in monetizing their multiplatform media streaming services, many still lack the data needed to determine if a piece of content they produced or licensed is generating dollars. Providers are

increasingly looking for ways to maximize revenue generation and are now looking into how advanced streaming platforms are using new technologies and workflow models to offer better business insights. This, in turn, raises the efficiency and profitability of OTT content delivery, all while lowering the overall risk of creating or acquiring new content. By orchestrating and streamlining the movement of metadata and digital media assets through production, approval, distribution, monetization and eventual consumption by viewers on connected devices, today’s leading-edge OTT streaming and distribution platforms not only enable users to optimize the end-to-end pipeline, but also empower them to be agile in offering content and services that are well-aligned with viewer demand. Working with such a platform, content creators and publishers are positioned to capitalize on the latest technical innovations, workflow efficiencies and business strategies; which, together allow for smarter, more profitable, and more engaging offerings and services.

Verizon’s Deliver application puts industry-leading compliance, monitoring and OTT Delivery in a single footprint The addition of Verizon’s Slicer application, an essential software element of the Uplynk Video Streaming service, into Volicon Media Intelligence’s Deliver application combines industry-leading compliance, monitoring and over-the-top (OTT) delivery. The Slicer application gives broadcasters the ability to take the same feeds currently used for compliance and monitoring, and encode and deliver them via OTT or TV-Everywhere (TVE) services, as well as through web and social media-sharing platforms. This unique combination enables existing Volicon Media Intelligence service customers to immediately address the OTT opportunity by launching offerings quickly and efficiently The Volicon Media Intelligence service offers the ability to define unique profiles to automatically place common metadata elements (show name, original air date, etc.) into formats that are suitable for each delivery platform, greatly reducing the amount of manual data manipulation that needs to be done. When broadcasters choose to distrib-

ute OTT content to their own websites and portals, a much greater level of control becomes possible. The Uplynk Video Streaming service’s Slicer application takes a video stream, slices it into a series of content segments (a.k.a. “chunks”), which are then immediately encrypted and uploaded to a secure cloud environment. As soon as content arrives in the cloud, the Uplynk Video Streaming service goes to work creating multiple renditions of the content to cover the full range of viewing quality profiles associated with adaptive bitrate streaming (ABR) formats. OTT functionality can be accessed through the Deliver application on the Volicon Media Intelligence service dashboard. This feature provides direct access to the content management system and tools for the Uplynk Video Streaming service, all from a single user interface. With an integrated system like the Volicon Media Intelligence service, errors that occur at any point in the signal’s journey from source to destination can be brought to the

attention of the system operator for quick resolution, before they propagate downstream and are posted online. The Volicon Media Intelligence service can also be used to “close the loop” and monitor OTT signal quality at the output of a CDN to provide complete, end-to-end verification of a stream’s quality of experience (QoE). The proliferation of new delivery channels in OTT has made life more complicated for broadcasters, but this doesn’t mean that huge new investments need to be made to deliver and monitor content online. For current users of the Volicon Media Intelligence service, integrating the Slicer application couldn’t be easier. In most cases, the existing hardware is adequate or can easily be upgraded to handle the additional processing load of incorporating the Slicer.

NEED IMAGE OF OTT CONTENT (videos of myths... bigfoot...)

To succeed at a high level, content owners have to understand how to program for digital viewers. This means that the content experience must be personalized for each viewer.

Debunking the top four OTT myths There are many myths about OTT (over-the-top) that need to be debunked. Otherwise, we run the risk of misunderstanding the market and its opportunities. This goes for content producers, advertisers, those in TV business, and even consumers.

Myth #1: TV is dead Let’s start by saying that it’s not dead. Not even close. There is currently more content than ever; even Twitter has TV. The way to beat this myth is to realize that the definition of TV has changed. We no longer only watch linear TV. We stream, share and engage in a personalized model of video content. We’ve traded channel surfing for binge watching. It’s still TV. Netflix is no different to TV than HBO was to cable in 1980. They are companies that distribute and more importantly produce amazing content.

Myth #2: Content owners are ready The second myth I want to examine is the idea that organizations are ready for the shift from linear TV to OTT. Some organizations, such as the OTT natives like Netflix and Hulu,

IBC template.indd 1

are more ready than others. But for most, they are still working through how they want to prepare for the not so distant future. They know how to make their content available for digital marketplaces, but they lack the data to fully understand the “where” and “how” to present it. One of the key takeaways from April 2017’s NAB show in Las Vegas, Nevada is that legacy TV and media companies are struggling with the move to OTT. They have been at the top of the game for 65 years. To continue to succeed at a high level they have to understand how to program for a digital viewer. This means that the content experience must be personalized for each viewer.

Myth #3: Consumers don’t like ads One of the most persistent myths around is that consumers don’t want advertisements. In fact, over 50% of Generation Z (the generation younger than millennials) enjoys watching ads. The key is that they have to be engaging, relevant (personalized) and inoffensive. A related myth is that subscription fees for

services are enough to maintain a fit ecosystem. This is simply not true. They aren’t enough.

Myth #4: Advertisers are ready Programmatic ads are the future of true OTT monetization, and the market is not prepared. In traditional TV, you are selling to an entire market. It’s one ad spot that is delivered to the entirety of your audience. But, with OTT, you are serving dynamic ads for each spot as the content is highly personalized. How we buy ads has to evolve. The programmatic space has a long way to go to be well stocked with high-quality video that is brand safe. We need traditional ad buyers to stop fearing the loss of their jobs, and become pillars for programmatic so that the entire industry can succeed. We saw this resistance in the OTT space when traditional leaders from broadcasting feared the inevitable. The leaders of those businesses now are the ones that embraced the change instead of fighting it.

What’s new for IBC 2017 Personalization and insights with Smartplay by Verizon

Volicon Media Intelligence service

At IBC 2017, Verizon Digital Media Services’ smarter platform will highlight how their unique 1 to 1 session management technology, Smartplay by Verizon, offers smarter delivery, insights, advertising, programming, discovery and protection by generating dynamic manifests for each and every user. Eliminating the complex systems and poor visibility associated with reliance on loosely stitched together supply chain providers, Smartplay also eliminates additional costs and delays in preparing content for different platforms and monetization strategies. As a result, Smartplay makes it easier and more economical than ever for content providers to launch and operate successful OTT services while still maintaining exceptional quality of service.

The Volicon Media Intelligence service enables broadcasters to use industry-leading video capture, archive, compliance monitoring and automated clip-creation technology to bring high-quality content to viewers quickly via OTT-based delivery. At IBC 2017, Verizon Digital Media Services will demonstrate how this service unites digital media transformation workflows from the worlds of traditional broadcasting and OTT delivery, in turn reducing the cost and complexity of multiplatform delivery. Deployed at more than a thousand broadcast locations worldwide, the Volicon Media Intelligence service records broadcast content across interfaces, including SDI, transport stream and analog, for purposes of monitoring, compliance and review. Integra-

tion of the service with the Slicer application, part of the Uplynk Video Streaming service, puts industry-leading compliance, monitoring and OTT delivery in a single footprint within a broadcaster’s facility. Activated as quickly and easily as flipping a switch, the Slicer application gives broadcasters the ability to ingest video, encode it into multiple bit-rate profiles, encrypt it, and distribute it via OTT or video-on-demand services, as well as through web and social media sharing platforms.

theibcdaily OPINION OUTLINED

Seamless integration is the key to broadcast IT Roland Ollek, chief executive, Guntermann & Drunck It’s no longer a valid comment to say that IT is making increasing inroads into the broadcasting world. IT is now fundamental to broadcasting and the two are virtually synonymous. However, the majority of IT products and systems that have made their way into broadcasting studios and OB vans have come off-the-shelf. This means that if these production areas are to function as bespoke units, integration between both IT systems and broadcast equipment becomes the key. Happily, for broadcasters, there is such a bridge: KVM (keyboard, video and mouse). KVM systems can be optimally linked to both broadcast equipment and IT systems. KVM will support all the ‘standard’ IT signals

such as keyboard and mouse, DisplayPort, audio and USB, as well as typical broadcast signals such as SDI and MADI. Technical support is not the only benefit. KVM allows powerful computers to be moved out of the studio into purpose-built air-conditioned equipment rooms, reducing excess noise and heat in the studio. Producers have access to all their systems when they need them without even realising they are operating remotely. At Guntermann & Drunck (G&D), we have ensured that all of our interfaces for the external control of our KVM systems work with the standard broadcast control tools such as KSC or VSM. Regardless of location, each computer can be connected to the

desired projection media and/ or operating screens and be operated from there. In this perfect symbiosis between IT and the broadcast world, G&D matrix systems can also automatically follow complex application processes. The more seamless the integration, the more flexible the studio’s operations. G&D’s CrossDisplay-Switching via mouse cursor has been specifically designed for multi-monitor workstations that access multiple computers – even with different operating systems – at the same time. The mouse acts as if it was on a ‘virtual desktop’, moving across connected displays. When the cursor is moved from an active to an inactive display, the focus automatically switches to the connected computer.

This allows users to intuitively operate multiple systems at the same time with just one mouse and keyboard set. LEDs indicate the active channel so that producers and post-production operators can always see which computer they are working on. One final example of our approach to integration is when an on-air system needs to be marked as such. G&D matrix systems enable operation of different systems and allow for simultaneous access from multiple users. But what happens when one of these computers is used for a live broadcast? To inform producers and users that a computer is working on-air, we offer a tally light function. This allows on-air information to become available to the user at any time, even before switching to a ‘live’

machine because the status is available as an on-screen display and in the computer selection menu. IT is now the dominant factor in the broadcast studio. With the integration benefits of KVM, I’d like to think that this dominance is always under the complete control of the studio and all who work there. 1.B10

Alexa, help me get more listener interaction Broadcast Bionics By Mark Hallinger

Easy: With a home smart speaker, contributing to a show is through simple voice command

With the Smart Speaker Toolkit from Broadcast Bionics and a home smart speaker, radio consumers are fully enabled to reach the studio by voice command, and through the information already stored in the smart speaker, contributions will be content fit and ready to air.

For example, say “Alexa, tell the studio I like this song” or “Alexa, tell the studio the answer is …” and the message instantly appears in the studio’s message queue. Audiences reactions are fresh and immediate and become a rich source of new content and contributors, claimed Broadcast Bionics. Stations can connect the Broadcast Bionics Smart

EH Series continues to expand Switchcraft By Heather McLean The EH Series connector system from Switchcraft offers an extensive line of modular audio, video and data connectors. All EH Series connectors have XLR-style housings and fit into the same industry-standard size panel

cutout (24mm diameter), which makes creating and modifying custom I/O solutions fast and easy, said the company. The array of connector options includes the popular 9- and 15-Pin D-Sub, RJ45, LC/SC/ST fibre optic, 75-Ohm BNC, HDMI, USB, Mini DisplayPort and more. Here at IBC the latest additions,

Speaker Toolkit to Google Home, Apple HomePOD and Amazon Alexa. Broadcast Bionics said the latest research forecasts Amazon Alexa sales to hit 10 million this year, and the company said that it was keen to ensure that there’s a place for radio in the fast-changing way in which audio is consumed. 8.D71

Multi-channel audio gets down OUTLINED

Nugen By Mark Hallinger Making its European debut is Halo Downmix, designed for the precise downmixing of feature film and 5.1 mixes to stereo. Nugen said the product delivers accurate downmixes that are no longer limited to typical in-the-box coefficient-based processes. It allows for unprecedented adjustment, and provides visual controls for relative levels, timing and direct vs ambient sound balance. Dialogue level can be maintained effectively with

phantom centre ratio controls, and excess ambient sound from rear channels can be managed easily. Nugen said low frequencies can also be regulated to ensure appropriate levels in downmix, and timing artefacts in surround channels introduced by legacy upmix practices are now easy to fix, either manually or by using the Halo Downmix auto detection functionality. Halo Downmix introduces a surround-to-surround mode for adjusting existing 5.1 or 7.1 mixes for better downmix compatibility or rebalancing of the surround mix.

theibcdaily OPINION OUTLINED

The continuing need for KVM switching in the IP broadcast world Manuel Greisinger, head of sales, IHSE

The transition of broadcast infrastructure from a traditional SDI to IP-based workflow has been discussed within the industry for some time and will continue at IBC this year. In the main, broadcasters are already sold on the concept and advantages of IP and understand its intricacies and limitations. They are beginning to embrace this exciting new solution. Some broadcasters and production companies have already embraced complete IP workflows in their production centres and OB vehicles and more are being built. However, wholesale migration to IP-based infrastructures will not happen quickly. Constructing an entirely new broadcast production

centre is not a quick process, nor is refitting an established one that operates effectively on an SDI core. New ways of thinking will be required as the workflow becomes more IP-focused and content is handled in the cloud and physical interfaces are removed in favour of IP transmission and connectivity. Broadcast engineers are in the process of figuring out how to implement new IP techniques and technologies and a common approach is to introduce piecemeal solutions and integrate them into existing architectures, taking advantage of the benefits those IP solutions bring. While acquisition and production processes are

become more geographically distant from each other, thanks to the cloud, broadcasting will continue to operate from production centres that house operators, production engineers, content creators, editors and other professionals who are all essential to the process of creation and broadcast of video material. In every location there is still the need for staff to access the creative and content transmission tools that allow them to manage and manipulate content and they need, and want to, do that from their own workstations and desks. KVM (keyboard, video and mouse) switching solutions are an essential element of this infrastructure: giving each person

instant access to every computer and tool within their local facility. With just the press of a button, or a short keyboard sequence, a user can instantly flip between one machine and another, and access all devices from the workstation on their own desk. With no perceivable transmission latency or image degradation, performance is so good that users donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even realise the hardware they are accessing is hundreds of metres away Not only does this allow centralised location of broadcast equipment in secure and environmentally controlled rooms, but operators benefit greatly from a much quieter and less-cluttered working environment. They also benefit

from being able to access any device from their own workstation, without needing to move to another location or disrupt colleagues. In addition, expensive production tools and facilities can be shared among users; reducing expenditure on capital equipment and system maintenance. KVM switch systems are already used by the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading broadcast organisations. With the move towards IP infrastructure we believe that KVM will continue to be an important tool and will carry on serving the industry, making it ever-more efficient and productive. 7.B30

Button up for TV OUTLINED

Hi Tech Systems By Heather McLean The Array range of control panels from Hi Tech Systems fully integrates with its Avita production control system to provide a configurable work surface where a ‘button’ panel is required.

According to Hi Tech Systems, many people prefer the confidence of a button press rather than a mouse click when working in a pressured environment such as live television. Tom Favell, managing director, Hi Tech, commented: “The beauty of Array is that we supply a number of different panels that join via a databus for power and

data, and have a range of button numbers and styles. This allows a customer to ‘build’ a control surface specific to their workflow using single or multiple panels with only one connection for power and communications.” Hi Tech Systems is demonstrating both Array and Avita on its stand.

The company is also examining WebVR as a creation and delivery technology. Also on show is Newsbeat Explains, a mobile-first prototype aimed at younger audiences who broadcasters are typically finding harder to reach. The prototype is part of BBC R&D’s research on atomised news, which involves breaking down key aspects of a story into smaller, reusable, self-contained pieces of information loosely linked together by rich metadata. Atomising content enables non-linear and contextual content experiences. The pilot was built using existing news production systems and stories were written by BBC journalists, proving to be such a success that the atomised format was used in the BBC’s recent UK General Election coverage. The second prototype looks at ways of creating atomised-style videos in multiple lengths from existing content sources and articles not written with atomisation in mind. The concept takes headlines, dates, standfirsts and other sources of structured data and reassembles them to make adaptable video summaries so they fit a user’s preference, context or situation. 8.G10

By Heather McLean New at IBC2017 is Bluebell Opticom’s BC370, an optical converter that enables four discrete channels of 3G-SDI on a single card, eliminating the issue of fibre count. With four 3G-SDI inputs and four optical outputs, the BC370 represents the highest density of signals Bluebell has offered to date; 60 channels in a 3RU space or 24 channels in 1RU. Paul McCann, managing director, Bluebell Opticom, said: “Using fibre for 12G video transport has become a reality thanks to products like Bluebell’s new suite of 12G-SDI cards and standalone interfaces. Our BC370 highdensity optical converter makes the process even more efficient by multiplexing four discrete channels of 3G-SDI on a single card, eliminating the issue of fibre count. It’s the highest density of signals we’ve ever offered.” Also making its European debut at IBC2017 is Edgware, Bluebell Opticom’s new throw-down IP-gateway product that wraps a 3G-SDI picture into an IP-compliant format and sits on a 10G

By Mark Hallinger Updates for the company’s MOM (media operations manager) system are on display. Designed for broadcasters, cable television operations and streaming media providers, MOM delivers a comprehensive platform for organising and managing a wide array of broadcast production and integrated channel playout tasks, said Enco. MOM integrates ingest, media asset management, graphics, branding, on-the-fly multi-format transcoding and 24/7

multi-channel playout automation within its single, unified platform. New for IBC is an integrated graphics generator for live channel branding, support for Network Device Interface (NDI) connectivity, and the ability to produce a live show with live camera and NDI inputs. This extends MOM beyond standard automation-related tasks and deeper into the TV production infrastructure. Support for NDI-connected devices is especially valuable given the ability to easily share bi-directional SD, HD and 4K/UHD video over a single, ubiquitous, standard

Gigabit network. MOM’s GUI allows a single operator to handle all of the media production and playout tasks required by the end-to-end broadcast workflow. Tasks like scheduling, logging changes and live insertion control can be executed with drag-and-drop functionality. MOM also provides a path for virtualised automation when integrated with the ENCO1 virtualised server. ENCO1 allows MOM and other ENCO software solutions to run efficiently via IP-based virtualisation to reduce costs and operational overhead, as well as minimise rack space. 8.D74

The BC370 multiplexes four discrete channels of 3G-SDI on a single card

Ethernet network. Edgware serves as a bridge between current 3G-SDI-based broadcast infrastructures and those built on IP technology, making it possible to use BNC and XLR technology to transport broadcast signals over IP networks. Minimal configuration and low latency make it an ideal ingest product, claimed the company.

Scalable integrated VSAT solution Work Microwave By Ian McMurray Operators now have the option to integrate the AT-60 IP modulator and AT-80 wideband modulator with an encapsulator and IP routing system for large-scale VSAT systems. Work Microwave said the integrated solution can scale to every type of satellite network, from small networks with five remotes, up to the largest

networks encompassing tens of thousands of remotes. Work Microwave said its solution is designed with flexibility in mind, and based on a pay-as-you-grow business model. It can scale up or down to support any operator’s requirements, and is completely customisable in terms of adapting to existing infrastructures. Embedded Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) is designed to enable each remote to operate at

its most efficient coding and modulation scheme. Based on customer feedback, Work Microwave has added C and X Band support to its Compact Satellite Up- and Down-converter, which is also being demonstrated. Claimed to be ideal for satellite operators, integrators and teleports working in classical bands, the converter is operational in C, X, and IF frequency bands, allowing users to support multiple simultaneous channels

The smart add-on to ST 2110-based infrastructures Gael Rouvroy, chief executive and director of technology, intoPIX The SMPTE ST 2110 suite of standards provides the tools to enable companies to move their workflows from SDI to IP-based networks, while still preserving the SDI baseband video quality. By separating the video essence from the rest of the audio and metadata information, broadcasters can build more agile and efficient IP-based workflows. The next major step in the optimisation of the live production workflow is a reduction of bandwidth required. Reducing the bandwidth means reducing the complexity of operations, while preserving the quality of the original uncompressed SDI. File-based workflows have already adopted mezzanine compression technology to allow real-time recording

and playback, while also reducing storage cost. The same logic of adopting compression technology applies to live transmission workflows. Reducing bandwidth need implies the use of a lower-cost network infrastructure and access to more COTS equipment. This is combined with support of more video streams, higher frame rates and higher resolutions within a more user-friendly network. This transition phase is not yet fully executed in all live production workflows, but it is already bringing tremendous advantages in cost of ownership for those who have adopted this approach. Although such transition might not be needed for every video format, it is a pre-requisite for 4K and 8K

workflows, and well worth applying to HD formats. In 2015, the TICO Alliance was launched to address this challenge. Two years hence, the TICO SMPTE RDD35 has been established as the standard of choice to carry HD, 4K and 8K over IP networks in live and remote production. A multitude of products are available at IBC this year from more than 50 vendors, including Grass Valley, Panasonic, SAM, NEC, Nevion, AppearTV, Axon, Rohde & Schwarz, Blackmagic Design, Imagine Communications, Aperi, Village Island, B&M Modern Media and others. At the same time, NHK will be showcasing its 8K workflow using TICO. The next step is the ongoing effort with the ISO JPEG standards committee to

Monetising podcasts StreamGuys By Anne Morris The streaming media specialist is demonstrating how its solutions help broadcasters maximise the scope and effectiveness of their monetisation efforts, using dynamic ad insertion within on-demand content such as podcasts. Complementing the company’s dynamic pre-roll and mid-roll advertising capabilities for live streams and part of its evolving SaaS toolset, the on-demand functions use the latest advances in targeting technologies to deliver advertisements most likely to resonate with each listener, while keeping ads timely and relevant for consumers downloading ‘long-tail’ evergreen content. Less effective approaches to advertising in podcasts and other on-demand content insert ads into the downloadable media when the files are

94 IBC D2 2017 v1JRJMcK.indd 1

initially published. As a result, all listeners hear the same ads regardless of their location or interests, and someone downloading the content years later would still hear the same, now-outdated commercials. In contrast, StreamGuys’ dynamic advertising capabilities insert ads into the on-demand files only at the time the content is requested, making use of available information about the listener – from geographic location to other demographic data – to select current campaigns from advertisers or underwriters that best align with that particular subscriber or consumer.

Embedded within the company’s SGrecast system for podcast and side channel creation, StreamGuys’ AdsWizz-enabled, server-side ad-insertion tools enable publishers to deliver dynamic advertising to listeners across a wide array of playback platforms without requiring specialised client software for each target consumer device. StreamGuys’ browser-based audio editing and ad break tagging tools also improve operational workflows, avoiding the need for additional software applications while accelerating turnaround times.

establish a new profile that will be called JPEG-XS: the next generation video compression for video over IP. The publication of the standard is expected to happen during 2018. With zero latency (0.1 milliseconds), visually lossless quality with no degradation, a low consumption on CPU or GPU, and a low footprint on FPGA, the TICO technology (soon to be the JPEG-XS) enables the reduction of the operating bandwidth by a factor x4 to x6. TICO compression is highly useful, because the added cost of moving uncompressed video over baseband everywhere is just not sustainable. The adoption of the compression promoted by the TICO Alliance is expected to be one of the major business drivers

behind the adoption of IP-based workflows as it significantly lowers the cost of operating the live production over IP, while enabling transmission of multiple broadcast HD, 4K and 8K video streams over IP networks. At IBC2017, 50 companies are showcasing new products supporting the new SMPTE 2110 standards, with several of them also carrying HD, 4K or 8K video using the TICO SMPTE RDD35 compression. 10.D31

Monitoring boost for IP video Phabrix By Heather McLean For OB trucks and broadcast monitoring, the Phabrix Rx 2000 rack-mounted generator, analyser and monitoring system has been enhanced with 2KSDI support and more flexible, built-in instrument displays.

for intermittent errors plus remote access. Neil Sharpe, head of marketing at Phabrix, said: “As the broadcast market adopts IP video infrastructures, there’s a need for new types of test and measurement tools, which can quickly diagnose problems like packet congestion and jitter. There’s also a demand for instruments that allow preventative stress testing of video networks. We’re excited to highlight new SMPTE 2110 IP tools that directly address these fundamental requirements.” 10.B12

OUTLINED

Leading television’s migration to AoIP Martin Dyster, vice president of business development, TV solutions group, Telos Alliance The Telos Alliance was founded on bringing new technologies into the broadcast industry. We work every day to continue improving audio for broadcast radio and television, pioneering cutting-edge technologies to help global networks and local stations produce better programming, improve audience engagement and bolster ratings. In 2003, we invented Audio over IP (AoIP) for broadcast, and a decade later we supported the inception of the AES67 standard, establishing AoIP protocol interoperability and operational flexibility

across a wide range of technical operations. Today, more than 100 companies offer Livewire+ AES67-compatible products and countless other vendors produce interoperable AES67 solutions, enabling customers to build complete AoIP ecosystems. Radio has a long-established pattern of success with AoIP but, until now, television has been slow to embrace it. TV is finally looking at the positive impact AoIP has had on radio and realising that all the same benefits – cabling efficiency, simplified design and installation, flexible signal

routing, lower cost of ownership – translate directly to TV. Today, here at IBC, we are delivering a quantum leap forward with the debut of the next-generation AoIP solution: Telos Infinity. The first product built on this new AoIP platform is the Telos Infinity IP Intercom, an all-new, standards-based solution that challenges the notion of what an intercom should be. Livewire+ AES67 lives at the core of the system, but that alone doesn’t leverage the full power of AoIP. To do that, we realised we had to eliminate not only the physical card-based

matrix itself – the hardware – but the outdated concept of a centralised matrix. Combining traditional broadcast intercom functionality with broadcast-quality audio through distributed AoIP devices distributed across a COTS network infrastructure, Telos Infinity erases the line between traditional communications and contribution audio. This also makes Telos Infinity IP Intercom infinitely scalable and supports plug-and-play integration. It means that these products can co-exist with current systems, creating an

easy transition and expansion path. A customer can start small and integrate Telos Infinity into their current communications workflow over time if a full-scale replacement is neither practical nor feasible. For customers who are ready to overhaul an existing system, Telos Infinity IP Intercom offers a lower total cost of ownership than traditional intercom and represents a future proofed transition to IP. 8.D47

found strolling the streets of London scouting for suitable receive positions, before spending days studying filming venues and mapping routes through the capital, all while the weather did its best to spoil the show. The eventual solution to this crazy idea of Harrelson’s was an HD transmitter built into a backpack along with batteries and sound equipment, which were connected to an Arri Alexa Mini using an umbilical cable and carried by a grip. Live video was transmitted and received at a total of 14 locations throughout central London through the use of 54 receive antennas, marking the largest

Mark Houghton, technical director at Broadcast RF, said: “What was achieved in London on a cold night in January was historic. It took the passions of Woody and his cast and crew, the drive of the production teams and the determination of a technical crew to turn fantasy into history. With more receive sites than the Wimbledon Tennis and the Open Golf Championships combined, and an arsenal of RF trickery, we joined 14 locations together to produce a cinematic first.” 11.D12

OUTLINED

Protecting connected devices in the IoT age Petr Peterka, chief technology officer, Verimatrix The Internet of Things (IoT) market is generating new services and devices that need protecting against a range of existing and novel threats, as a few notable breaches and staged attacks have already shown. One aspect to IoT security that is widely misunderstood, even by some security experts, is that IoT is not really a new problem for the security industry. There is a widespread misconception that the IoT will raise new threats that can only be met by emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence methods and blockchain technology. While such technologies will indeed come to play an important part in IoT as its threat landscape evolves, the challenges we face in the immediate future can be

met by existing techniques, especially those already widely deployed and well proven in the pay-TV revenue security industry. The point here is that we have had things connected to the internet for many years now, most relevantly the set-top box (STB). While the goal was to defend the video content rather than the underlying delivery infrastructure per se, this was impossible to achieve without protecting the IP STB itself against direct attack and compromise. Without that, it would be possible for pirates to get at the content by first circumventing the box where video decoding occurred. It’s also detrimental to protect the head-end where that actual content and keys may be hosted in the cloud.

Such measures begin with hardware root of trust, secure boot and other techniques to make sure that when the system starts up it is loading known authenticated software and not some malware or Trojan invading from the internet. We have also developed technology for updating the software securely during operation. Additional solutions that may be borrowed from the pay-TV industry include mutual authentication between devices and servers based on X.509 certificates, which leads to the ability to provision keys and other secrets, create trusted communication channels, and powerful authorisation and entitlement frameworks that enable rich services making individual IoT devices so much more valuable.

Of course, some new tools and techniques will be needed to counter emerging threats, such as those already used in proactive anti-piracy techniques. But again, these are not unique to IoT. Just about all telematics sectors face the common challenge of having to monitor for threats, some of which cannot be anticipated in advance, and be able to deal with them as they arise. Based on our experience, we have rallied around four key elements for an IoT security platform, with a fundamental requirement being that it can be renewed as required, not just to keep pace with the evolving threat landscape, but to stay one step ahead. These elements are 1) device integrity, 2) secure device authentication, 3) integrity of the device

communications and 4) the integrity, security and privacy of the data collected by IoT devices and processed in the IoT service cloud. Another key IoT security element is ongoing threat monitoring to detect unusual patterns that indicate a potential hack. For example, a well-trained machine learning model should be able to identify connections or nodes where unusual activity is occurring and shut those down, while leaving others open to minimise overall impact on a service. 5.A59

OTT monitoring grows up Qligent By Mark Hallinger IBC2017 is the international debut of Vision-OTT, a new fully virtualised cloud solution from Qligent to monitor and analyse over-the-top TV services. Though Qligent already supports OTT service providers worldwide with its Vision platform, Vision-OTT better serves the unique geographical and high-density requirements of a

widely dispersed OTT service, said the company. Vision-OTT leverages proven Qligent technologies, including the company’s highly scalable Virtual Probes; and introduces new efficiencies – notably Amazon Web Services – to deploy, host and manage Qligent Virtual Probes from anywhere in the world. Vision-OTT also integrates a remote multiviewer for signal processing and monitoring; and all-in-one compliance recording,

Easing into IP Appear By Ian McMurray The company’s X10 and X20 platforms, which assist broadcasters in the transition from SDI- to IP-centric operation, are being highlighted.

Both platforms are said to allow users to adopt IP easily and in their own timeframe – they provide a programmable option with modules that alternate between SDI and IP in either the compressed or lightly compressed domain. Key features include core IP security

which eliminates the need for an external compliance component or service. Qligent’s Virtual Probes can analyse IP-based streams from anywhere in the field, and present that data on a centralised Vision dashboard in the cloud. The Vision-OTT architecture includes an aggregated server that communicates with, and collects all field data from, each probe or edge device. Merged with Amazon Web as a firewall, video monitoring, video routing and video re-multiplexing. Three new processing modules added to both platforms allow for customisation, giving users the ability to meet specific requirements: a high-speed IP card that delivers both compressed and uncompressed video; a high-density SDI card; and a scrambling card for

Services, the comprehensive Vision-OTT platform provides impressive reach and penetration, said the company. Qligent claimed, because Amazon Web Services is globally available, that Vision-OTT is an ideal solution operations that require secure content delivery. Appear’s Adaptive Bit-Rate (ABR) just-in-time packager and complete XC5000 chassis are also being shown at IBC. The ABR is an integrated software solution combining a video segmentation engine, high-performance storage

IDS ticks boxes for teachers OUTLINED

IPE By Heather McLean The Information Display System (IDS) from IPE has been deployed at Southampton Solent University in the UK. IDS, which IPE is featuring on its IBC stand, is composed of dedicated software and hardware devices that use a scalable TCP/IP backbone to provide monitoring and networked display functionality from touchscreens. The installation at Southampton Solent University is a central component of the university’s ability to monitor, analyse and, if required, rectify operational aspects of multiple studios. These are being used for the training the university provides

for its students, including live streaming, documentaries, web broadcasting, music festivals, sports events and many other projects. Jon Wills, specialist facilities team leader and technical instructor, Southampton Solent University, explained: “We were initially interested in IDS’s remote noise monitoring function. No other system would give us the ability to remotely monitor noise levels in such a neat and configurable way. There doesn’t appear to be a competitor for it. “IDS already ticks a lot of boxes for us, but its flexibility enables us to add further functions to the system, which we can pretty much plug straight into the existing network with some configuration assistance from IPE.”

Providing fixed gain or 30dB (0.1dB step) attenuation control of L Band or 70/140mHz based IF signals, the VGU010 system from Peak Communications can be used for balancing signals during commissioning to overcome differences in cross-site losses. It also provides a convenient facility for remote gain control of uplink/ downlink chains. These modular ‘field expandable’ units accept up to 10 channels and, being hot-swappable, can be inserted/replaced in the VGU010 unit from the rear without the need to remove power or disturb the other channels, enhancing maintainability. The modules can be fitted with fail-safe bypass switching options and the chassis is mains powered with dual redundant, modular, hot-swappable power supplies as standard, providing necessary system reliability/availability. Peak explained it is now able to provide an LNB powering facility from within each module, with current monitoring and user settable alarm levels for downlink applications. Adding further flexibility to the range, the company is now also able to offer splitter/combiner combinations that can be fitted into spare module slots. 1.A65

Getting a grip on remote cameras

The Starcam telescoping column equipped with a 306 remote camera head

Egripment

By David Fox A new line of remote heads designed for smaller box cameras, ENG handheld cameras or digital cinema cameras has been introduced by Egripment. The smallest head, the lightweight 205, can carry up to 10kg, and effectively replaces Egripment’s Mini Shot

and Super Shot heads. The 301 and 306 remote camera heads can both carry up to 15kg, but the 306 can cope with wider cameras. The heads are available as a standalone system for direct control of the remote head, suitable for live productions such as sports, concerts and shows. More sophisticated digital versions of each head can be used for remote broadcast applications. Based

on an IP platform they are part of a network and can be used simultaneously by multiple controllers. Presets, moves and recordings can be easily set up through Egripment’s touch panel, and are particularly useful for automated news studios. They are particularly suitable for programmable shots in combination with the G-track dolly and Starcam telescoping column. 12.A21

Analytics within the cloud Qligent By Mark Hallinger Unveiled at IBC2017, Qligent’s new delivery analytics module is intended to specifically help users better understand the end-to-end content journey. It helps gather intelligence on programme content, distribution chain service quality, consumer behaviour and other elements to gain a data-driven competitive advantage. Qligent said it is moving beyond QoS and QoE analysis and compliance

verification with its Vision monitoring platform to help customers cross-correlate performance data from origination to consumption. Ted Korte, COO, Qligent, said: “The continued migration towards servicing the consumer’s demand for a personal experience means that broadcasters and TV service providers must embrace the broader landscape of monitoring an OTT or SVoD service. “It’s a consumer’s market, and any type of provider will need to be data-driven, [thus] broadening the scope to supplement or mimic

the massive data collection capabilities of companies that specialise in one-to-one relationships, such as Facebook, Amazon and Google.” Qligent claimed to make data analytics easier by cost-effectively capturing data from streams and equipment at points along the stream path such as origination points, the IT backbone, CDNs, edge devices, ISPs, mobile providers and set-top boxes. Centralised to Qligent’s Vision dashboard, users can drill down as deep as desired to capture the required data sets around delivery analytics

Choice vs quality in the age of innovation In a marketplace where consumer choice is considered as the foundation for successful growth, the standard of content delivery should not be allowed to slide, warns Keith Bedford, managing director, EBS In the early 1980s, Howard Moskowitz was tasked with finding the perfect pasta sauce for a struggling US food brand. He conducted an experiment in which a test group tried 45 varieties of pasta sauce, and voted on the best one. The results of this experiment led to one of the most influential business innovations of the 20th century. Moskowitz discovered that the group didn’t prefer one product, but that they liked plain, chunky and spicy pasta sauces in roughly equal measure. Based on this evidence, his client released all three sauces at once, and made

$600 million in profit over the next decade. The message was clear: customers didn’t want to be told which product was ideal: they wanted to choose the product that was right for them. Over the years this idea has changed businesses and industries worldwide. Broadcast entertainment has undergone decades of rapid innovation and segmentation in the name of consumer choice. Today the number of viewing options available to end users borders on the staggering. Content can be accessed in linear, pay-per-view, on-demand, download-to-

own, streamed and catch-up formats, with a plethora of companies offering a selection of extra service options and cost packages on top of this again. But has this segmentation left us with a market that is fractured almost to the point of being inaccessible? These days it is not unfamiliar to hear of consumers struggling to understand how to access their desired content, or even to find out which platform that content sits on. With that in mind, is it time to ask if our culture of innovation is serving the end user as well as it could be? At EBS, we work with our clients to provide exceptional

It offers end-to-end orchestration ‘from a single pane of glass’, across legacy SDI and IP-based infrastructure, supports live and file-based workflows, and interacts with hardware and software products, including on-premises and off-premises resources.

Secondly, the company explained that DataMiner SRM is natively designed for maximum agility and a dev-ops style of operation, with exclusive features that cater for continuous incremental evolutions in an ongoing operation. This, claimed Skyline, enables operators to continuously increase operational excellence, to integrate new technology on the fly, and to evolve their service portfolio along with market demands.

can also perform the reverse in down-converter mode and has two HDMI 2.0 outputs for cost efficient monitoring. Cobalt has also announced plans to introduce options for HDR, as well as ST 2022-6 and 2110 uncompressed audio and video over IP. Also being introduced to the European market is the BBG-DA-12G-1X6 brick form-factor UHD distribution amplifier. With its cable-length performance of 100m over Belden 1694 cable at

12G-SDI, the unit is a problem-solving tool. Additionally, Cobalt has developed new features for its line of MPEG encoders and decoders, including the +RTP/ ARQ licence option that enables automatic repeat request (ARQ). Unlike SMPTE Forward Error Correction (FEC), the +RTP/ ARQ technology requests only actual unreceived packets to be resent, which keeps the stream bit rate as economical as possible, said the company. 10.B44

The NXT 910 offers four independent frame synchronisers. Each supports

automatic input format detection and conversion to the desired output format. A user can adjust video and chroma gains with a built-in proc amp, or adjust levels and swap/mix channels in the unit’s embedded audio. Even embedded surround sound (Dolby, AC-3) is synchronised from input to output. 8.B91

Smarter transmission monitoring Kathrein-Werke By Mark Hallinger A new Smart Monitoring system uses sensors to record all-important operating parameters in transmitter components. It does this in real time for comparison with target values from regular operation. All deviations are consistently logged to provide an early indication of a potential disturbance.

Transmitter operators can view the measurements via network access. If there are any critical changes in status or if threshold values are exceeded, an alarm is triggered and signalled via app, SMS message or email. The Kathrein Smart Monitoring system can be employed with new antenna system installations and it can also be integrated into existing systems. 8.C24

theibcdaily Q&A OUTLINED

Junichiro Ohno, representative director and president, Canare Electric Has IBC come at a good time for the electronic media industry? Why? For many years IBC has been the place where the broadcast world meets. It was always the best place to learn about new products and trends. Nowadays, IBC is also more of social event for Canare. We would like to maintain and develop

good relationships with our customers as this is the most important way to increase our sales.

What do you think are the key developments in, or threats to, your market sector at the current time? Canare, like many other cable manufacturers, is looking

carefully at the development of IP TV in the studio and OB vans. This trend can be treated as a threat to the traditional audio and video cables and connectors market. Canare is also one of the market leaders in video patchbays. Our R&D team is working on IP development in order to follow this market trend.

Enhancements for compact sports server slomo.tv By Mark Hallinger First introduced at IBC last year, slomo.tv’s Simple RII compact production server has already attracted attention from sports broadcasters worldwide thanks to its advanced functionality and affordable price, according to the company. Here at IBC2017, the company is debuting an enhanced version, complete with extended 3G SDI support, six recording channels, search

capabilities on all six channels and two playback channels with transition effects. In addition, slomo.tv is to offer a new 8-channel 3G video refereeing option. Simple RII is a universal platform that enables remote upgrades to any configuration. Features include: SSD storage

capacity to 266 hours (of 100Mbps HD video); three graphics outputs for connecting three different interfaces at the same time; the possibility of obtaining a single-use licence for higher configuration; and two SD/HD video outputs in basic 332 configuration. 8.B40

Smartphone shooters land Rover Rover is a new professional camera cage for smartphones that has been designed to provide a comfortable ergonomic position, so that hands and arms stay relaxed and the camera movement remains smooth and steady. Integrated dual handles connect to unique Perfect Friction mounts that can instantly adjust to any point of 360º rotation without additional tension adjustment or locks. This allows the handles to become a natural extension of the body, and they double as easel arms for low angle shooting, tabletop viewing or editing.

Why should delegates visit your stand at IBC?

By Ian McMurray According to TW Electronics, there is a rapid change taking place in how consumers are controlling their media equipment. The company observed that, until recently in Europe, infrared remote control technology has been the accepted norm for controlling the majority of AV devices. However, with the rapid increase in content availability, the need for quick and accurate searching via the remote control is vital. TW Electronics believes that voice control in a complex content environment gives a better user experience. Ease of access is critical, the company claimed, and a fast but accurate method is

required – and proposed a vocal searching solution. A simple key press and a spoken description of what the user is looking for will offer up not only stored content, but with the addition of internet access, a host of other content, said the company. This will allow set-top box manufacturers and operators to build new, innovative features into their offerings and ultimately increase the revenues generated through wider content access, claimed TW Electronics. Infrared is no longer adequate for today’s users, the company added, noting that it is now developing new voice-enabled remote controls based on Bluetooth Low Energy chipsets, and it is demonstrating these on its IBC stand. 5.B43 Voice is the best way of navigating content complexity

For flexibility, the $299 Rover has 16 points of freedom, which are industrystandard ¼-20 screw mounts for customising and accessorising the rig. Combined with MSE’s MicroGrip hardware it can be mounted almost anywhere (rails, windows, trees, cars, etc). It has an adjustable cold shoe mount for microphones and lights. 12.G71

The benefits of Ancora for IP connectivity are being demonstrated here at IBC. Ancora is a system to integrate the control, management and monitoring of multiple devices in an OB truck or facility and provides a unified operator interface for clarity and consistency. Ancora provides a bridge between legacy equipment and new generation hardware and software with a system that is configurable, easily modified or expanded by the customer without Hi Tech’s intervention, said the company. Tom Favell, managing director, Hi Tech, said: “Our Ancora Designer application

is used to build GUIs and hardware panel layouts and the latter can be from our Array range or existing panels from other manufacturers; router control panels, for example. We’ve invested a lot of time making the Designer clear and easy to use and have adopted the latest technology behind the scenes to achieve this.” “We also have a wide range of device drivers in our database and are adding more by the day,” Favell continued. “We have local or remote databases that are replicated or clustered and are ideally placed to supply large or small systems working with best-of-breed products, as we don’t make any of the equipment being controlled.”

microphones or guitars at the same time. The interface also features three types of input to accommodate any set-up: two XLR mic inputs, two quarter-inch (6.35mm) guitar inputs, and two eighth-inch (3.5mm) jack inputs for connecting any instrument or microphone. It provides 48V phantom power for microphones, and

to deliver multiple UDP unicast and multicast services. Also on show is Artel’s FiberLink 3500 Series, which transmits 4K/UHD video at up to 60fps one way and which the company says supports nearly every type of video, audio and data signal. 5.A65

includes a 3.5mm headphone output for real-time sound monitoring. The two gain control thumbwheels make it easy to set precise levels, said the company. A user can toggle between mono and stereo output modes as necessary. It is powered by one 9V battery.

By David Fox The MRMC Whisper Head robotic pan/tilt/zoom unit is claimed to be not only completely silent, but also very fast, with pinpoint accuracy. The weatherproof (IP67 sealed) unit also offers full camera integration (zoom, focus, aperture, ISO, and so on), in a relatively lightweight and small package, controlled by an easy-to-use interface. It can accommodate camera payloads of up to 4kg.

Its pan and tilt manual control speed is 0.05° to 180° per second on both axis, with zero latency, and the system offers 360º continuous rotation panning, plus -170º to +170º tilt movement. Using MRMC’s control software (MHC) via Ethernet, the Whisper Head lends itself to live broadcasts and events that require fast operation of camera positions. With a touchscreen device (Surface Pro, iPad, etc) or traditional joystick console, the user has ample options to control, set and save preset positions. 12.F11

Easing the IP migration theibcdaily

OUTLINED

Digigram By Mark Hallinger The audio infrastructure company has just announced the release of Audioway Bridge, the first in its Audioway range of IP studio solutions. Serving as a gateway between legacy and IP audio equipment in the studio, or in multiple studios connected by a managed network, Audioway Bridge allows users to input MADI,

Audioway Bridge serves as a gateway between legacy and IP audio

AES67, Ravenna, Dante/ AES67, Livewire+, or AES/EBU and route audio to output in any one of these formats. By facilitating use of familiar legacy audio equipment alongside newer IP-based systems in both on-air broadcasting and production, Audioway Bridge reduces

the cost and complexity of migrating to IP, according to Digigram. Pascal Malgouyard, head of marketing at Digigram, said: “Audioway Bridge offers the smart studio interfaces that allow for a seamless IP migration. This first product in the Audioway range

demonstrates our depth of experience in designing mission-critical equipment for audio-over-IP applications.” As a complete single-box system, Audioway Bridge can replace more complicated gateways that can be too specialised to facilitate broadcasters’ migration

schemes, said the company. Occupying 1RU, the all-in-one gateway not only bridges audio-over-IP (AoIP) streams and legacy signals, but also ensures clock synchronisation between the two systems. The Audioway Bridge will be available in the fourth quarter. 8.C51

Modular: The receiver’s design enables ﬂexible conﬁguration for various applications

Receiving its public launch at IBC is Network ID from NexGuard, in a technology partnership with Ericsson. NexGuard’s Network ID inserts what is described as a unique invisible and robust forensic watermark in primary distribution feeds for linear TV. The watermark is designed to provide clear evidence of the distribution path to determine the source of illegally distributed signals (for example, for live sports broadcasts). This allows content owners to focus their anti-piracy efforts on the sources of significant piracy. The Network ID watermark also serves as proof of ownership to enable the take down of pirated streams (such as from social media). Network ID has already been integrated with Ericsson’s RX8200 Advanced Modular Receiver for satellite distribution applications. Harrie Tholen, managing director, NexGuard, said: “Tracing illicit content activity is a necessary and critical first step in fighting today’s greatest piracy challenges,

Tholen: “Rights holders can focus their anti-piracy eﬀorts where it matters”

such as the illegal re-distribution of live sports. NexGuard is honoured to be working with Ericsson to provide a solution that is pre-integrated with today’s TV and media industry workflows. Network ID offers a clear indication of the sources of piracy, so that rights holders can focus their anti-piracy efforts where it matters.” 1.C81

Multi-purpose encoding OUTLINED

Expanded API offers integrated video production Multicam Systems By David Fox

The MM08E features a range of system settings for managing multiple network interfaces

2wcom Systems By Mark Hallinger The new MM08E offers an extended application spectrum and is designed for contribution, distribution, in-house streaming as well as studio-to-transmitter links. 2wcom said the encoder features a complex range of system settings for managing multiple network interfaces,

yet it is simple to configure via web interface or jog wheel. The device supports all known audio coding algorithms (Enhanced apt-X, AAC, MPEG I/II Layer 2/3, PCM) and offers various control possibilities (HTTP, Telnet, NMS and SNMP) as well as a high standard monitoring and alarm concept. One unit can generate multiple streams independently, and transmission of ancillary

data and switching contact information (GPIO) is possible via integrated default interfaces. It features hot swappable slide-in power supply units. 2wcom said technicians can fall back on reliable and well-constructed redundancy opportunities (like Pro-MPEG FEC or dual streaming), and the activation of additional channels is possible by software update. 8.E78

BlueLine Transcoder Series launched WISI By Ian McMurray

#IBCShow

Easier integration with third-party tools is the promise for Multicam’s all-in-one production systems thanks to a new, expanded Application Programming Interface (API). It will also enable customers to create their own alternative interfaces to control Multicam systems and customise their workflows. The enhanced API supports all Multicam broadcast and professional AV solutions. It is based on the Representational State Transfer (REST) protocol, and allows every aspect of the systems – including configuring PTZ camera pre-sets, switching, recording, streaming and applying different scenes and titles – to be controlled remotely across a network.

Many third-party systems – from automation and playout systems to dedicated control surfaces – are already compatible with the REST-based API, enabling Multicam products to be easily integrated into existing workflows with only minor configuration or programming effort on the controlling devices. “The expanded Multicam API enables tight interoperability” with third-party products or with users own existing custom applications and management systems “while giving users the flexibility to control our systems from a variety of connected devices such as phones, tablets, automation systems and dedicated hardware controllers,” said Stan Walbert, CEO of Multicam Systems. 12.E56

The WISI BlueLine Transcoder Series features MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC IP transcoding

The BlueLine Transcoder Series (BLT) IP video transcoding platform is being launched by WISI at IBC. Developed and built by WISI’s transcoding team in Canada, Inca Networks, the WISI BlueLine Transcoder Series features MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC IP transcoding in a 1RU slot, with density options for up to 24 channels. Validated against thousands of broadcast streams worldwide, the BLT offers a variety of models

Toolkit: A loudness meter, true peak limiter and a loudness correction tool are included

to transcode, transrate or downscale HD and SD sources. Supported features include multilingual DVB subtitle burn-in and optional high-density audio transcoding. Third-party video and audio technologies have been certified with all WISI transcoders and the appropriate licenses are properly protected. The BLT is said to be compatible with other WISI video delivery platforms such as Tangram and Chameleon for a full end-to-end headend

solution. Configuration and troubleshooting are claimed to be simple with its web-based management interface as well as automated handling and recovery of ‘challenging’ video sources. With the BLT series, WISI says that operators can affordably launch new HD and SD programmes in cable or IPTV headends, and reduce business risk by replacing end-of-life transcoder products. 5.B50

Using the BBC’s IP Studio platform, BBC R&D is developing the tools, formats and protocols required to produce and deliver object-based content. On show at IBC is The Mermaid’s Tears, the company’s interactive audio drama where visitors can follow any one of three characters through the story and which was produced using the BBC R&D

system. It was broadcast live, making it the first live interactive object-based broadcast. To produce this experience, BBC R&D developed a novel audio control interface to generate the ADM metadata that describes the mix for each character. ORPHEUS, a European collaborative project that aims to create an end-to-end object-based audio broadcast system, has a major presence at IBC on the BBC R&D stand, as well as on the stands of B<>com (8.G14), Fraunhofer IIS (8.B80) and the EBU (10.F20).

In addition, visitors can see BBC R&D technology within collaborations across the show floor, including the Opera TV stand (14.A20), where the company is showing what HbbTV 2 media synchronisation and companion screen features make possible. On the EBU stand, BBC R&D is using clips from the BBC’s award-winning Planet Earth II series, to demonstrate the set of video conversions required in a complete high dynamic range television ecosystem. 8.G10

Better: The beneﬁt when increasing from 8 to 10 bits is signiﬁcant

Back in place for IP production Bluebell Opticom By Heather McLean The BCX-760 Series 10G Ethernet point-to-point fibre link is being showcased. This camera-back interface allows easy connection and signal transport between a camera and an OB truck or a base station. Visitors to the Hall 10 stand can see new features and powering options, along with audio, Ethernet and control-data enhancements. In a first for the industry, according to Bluebell Opticom, BCX-760 interfaces map all signals presented at the back of any broadcast camera onto a 10G Ethernet point-to-point link, ensuring safe, robust, interference immune and high-quality transport over much longer distances than have been possible before.

Paul McCann, managing director, Bluebell Opticom, said: “Our point-to-point fibre links and related gear accommodate just about any application and make customers’ lives easier, especially as 4K and IP production workflows become more prevalent.”

The content delivery network and streaming media provider is showcasing a new service that offers custom Alexa ‘skills’ creation for broadcasters using any streaming host or CDN. Amazon’s Alexa voice service lets consumers use spoken commands to trigger actions on devices such as Amazon Echo, Echo Dot and Echo Tap smart home speakers. Much like adding functionality to smartphones by installing apps, StreamGuys’ custom Alexa skills add capabilities to Alexa-enabled devices that

allow listeners to access live and on-demand content on radio stations through intuitive voice instructions. Alexa skills allow broadcasters to choose the words that users speak to launch the station’s programming, as well as defining the interactive experience surrounding their content. In addition to live streams, the skills can provide verbal access to podcasts and on-demand archives, with easy voice navigation between episodes. Listeners can access their favourite station’s voice-prompted menu by saying instructions like “Alexa, open WWOZ”, or go directly to desired content with commands

such as “Alexa, tell WWOZ to play traditional jazz”. Like web domain names, Alexa invocation names – the words users speak to open a custom skill – must be unique, making it important for broadcasters to act swiftly to secure their preferred Alexa identity. Jonathan Speaker, COO, StreamGuys, said: “It can be hard for users to find a station if it’s listed only by call letters, or if multiple stations use the same marketing brand. By affordably offering custom Alexa skills creation, we’re enabling them to quickly establish their presence on this important platform.” 14.L23

theibcdaily OPINION OUTLINED

Making sense of data Jon Folland, founder and chief executive, OnFrame Video is the fastest growing type of data in the world. This comes as no surprise as there is an explosion in commodity video cameras, sensors, mobile devices and IP connectivity. The Internet of Things market is set to generate $1tn of value by 2020 with 50 billion devices online. Commercial applications for drones are growing and this market will balloon to $127bn by 2020. These trends are leading to the creation of trillions of frames of potentially actionable video data. The value lies not only in being able to see what is happening at any given second, but also in extracting valuable metadata, analysing multiple trends over time, combining multiple feeds and repurposing

dynamically. Not to mention the huge value in personalising and augmenting such video in real time to create ad inventory and a more personalised broadcast experience. So how do you capitalise on the vast amounts of video data being produced when it cannot all be manually processed by humans? We launched OnFrame, a new company created by the founders of Nativ, as we believe there is an increasing need for automated live video processing to make sense of all this data and enable valuable business insights and personalised video experiences. With cheaper hardware and connectivity and recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI) and

cloud-based GPU and FPGA, now is the time to solve this problem. Many existing solutions on the market are ‘black box’ monoliths, offering silos of functionality. Some are file-based and others are live and stream-based. Some offer transcoding, some offer QC and others graphics. Most are not cloud-native and cannot scale to meet demand. Although advances in AI offer benefits to the video industries, most solutions do not offer an open approach to accessing all present and future AI-based services. It is rare for existing solutions to provide a software developers kit (SDK) so that anyone can develop or integrate AI or video processing algorithms of their own.

Upping the quality of guest interviews Comrex By Mark Hallinger Scheduled for release this autumn, Comrex Opal provides quality interviews with simple set-up over common web browsers. With Opal, a remote guest doesn’t install a thing, they just open up a link, click a button, and go live. The system works by activating the Opus encoder built into commonly used browsers. All a remote guest needs to transmit audio is a browser and a microphone, said Comrex.

Pay-TV rivals vie to become the ‘omni-channel’ of the future OUTLINED

By David Wood Pay-TV operators are facing some tough short- and long-term challenges. That was the conclusion of a panel of pay-TV experts speaking at a Platform Futures conference session at the Forum on Thursday (14 September). Jeff Hunter, chief architect at on-demand and cloud-based TV service YouView, told delegates: “Unfortunately not everyone can be the world’s biggest pay-TV provider. Those that are destined to be successful will need to be simple, relevant, seamless and indispensable. The key is to understand the user and personalise their experience. You also need to get smarter – driving insights from the data you collect.”

Hunter added: “For pay-TV operators the battle is on to develop deeper insights into the interests of customers – giving touch points for the provision of a much wider range of services. To, in effect, become an ‘omni-channel’. The battle is on for such companies to make themselves ever-present and indispensable to the consumer – so no wonder there is so much competition.” Companies such as Amazon and Netflix, which have deep pockets for investment in original content and a lot of data at their fingertips about customer preferences would be in a strong position, said Hunter. Justin Hewelt, global director of brand product and marketing at PayMedia Consulting, said that OTT propositions are

evolving and converging in the current marketplace. “Now we are seeing the emergence of more linear OTT propositions, and propositions targeted at different market segments, such as YouTube TV, aimed at millennials, or Sling, which targets non-traditional segments and cord cutters, and Hulu, focused on changing the OTT model with new, personalised relationships.” Hewelt added: “We have entered a landscape where consumers expect to access lots of different content from service providers. For the pay platform operators there is a real challenge to work out who your partners are, when to differentiate and when to collaborate. Pay-TV ops have been working hard

Partnership on HD studio-quality video contribution solution V-Nova By Heather McLean

By George Jarrett Yesterday’s IABM breakfast session was dominated by the word consolidation, and quirky research contradictions. Giving his traditional industry report, CEO Peter White started with media company performance that indicated nine per cent growth but a seven per cent decline in profits. Thankfully, 93 per cent of companies polled are profitable. The split between traditional and non-traditional broadcast operations stands at 41 per cent to 59 per cent, but traditional will slide further to 36 per cent within two years. On the buying side the big risers are IP infrastructure, social media broadcasting and cyber security. White suggested UHD is in the slow lane compared to AI and VR, but asked how VR will be monetised. The big stats were around the transition to IP – interoperability being vital to 98 per cent of users, 72 per cent of whom also want best of breed. “The quirk is the rise of internal development to 35 per cent. Maybe we are going back to bespoke inhouse development,” said White. “Profit margins are

Consolidation and contradictions punctuate IABM session

not there for the new media methodologies, so we will see considerable consolidation,” he added. Avid Technology president Jeff Rosica highlighted opposing views in the report. He said: “On the one hand it was all about efficiency and cost reductions, but on the other it was best of breed and interoperability, but this is hard for technology companies who can’t get agreement on IP and HDR standards. That just makes it more expensive for us. “Our customer base is struggling with 1,800 vendors in a relatively small industry. $50 billion is just a Monday at Microsoft,” he added. Charlie Vogt, CEO at Imagine, said: “Our industry is getting ready to go through

a bit of a revolution. We have been trying to figure out how we consolidate around a customer base that is consolidating around us.” A hundred key customers have become 20, which has put a lot of strain on suppliers. Chris Wagner, executive VP, market strategy with Neulion, said: “I did not see much in the report about what’s actually driving all this – the smartphone. That has the ability to deliver high-quality video, and you add into that the consumer’s preferences for personalising experiences. “That is driving a lot of multi-screen and the repackaging of content, and it is driving a lot of choice for consumers to pick and buy the things they prefer.”

newer landscape is all about building deeper relationships – in a world in which the use of apps and the popularity of no contract services means that users can come and go much more easily.”

Eutelsat Communications and V-Nova have unveiled a new satellite-delivered studio-quality HD contribution solution that offers broadcasters and video service providers an alternative or back-up to fibre in terms of quality and bandwidth efficiency. The solution uses V-Nova’s Perseus Pro technology to replicate typical fibrebased video contribution links, including full colour resolution and individual frame compression, and combines them with satellite delivery that adds the benefits of ubiquity and flexibility. This allows broadcasters to contribute studio-quality feeds, essential to maintain quality and to benefit from editing capabilities from

any location. These features are combined with compression that enables 80Mbps of HD 4:2:2 10-bit video feeds to be uplinked by off-the-shelf flyaway antennas and routed through a standard 36mHz transponder on Eutelsat’s global satellite fleet. Using recognised broadcast industry metrics and with independent third-party support, Eutelsat and V-Nova have completed a quality assessment of Perseus Pro via Eutelsat satellite capacity versus reference compression standards normally used via fibre. The assessment validated the superior quality of Perseus versus legacy contribution codecs at rates typical of satellite delivery, completing previous assessments which had demonstrated an average 30 per cent bandwidth gain of Perseus Pro versus JPEG2000. 11.B30u

Entertainment broadcasters embrace social OUTLINED

By Ann-Marie Corvin In entertainment at least, broadcasters and social media networks are more friends than foes as they harness social media to innovate new content and increase ratings. In Thursday afternoon’s session on the relationships between broadcasters and social networks, Joanna Wells, VP of Comedy Central, said that embracing social media and putting it at the heart of Viacom’s strategy has allowed it to achieve a social reach of ‘unsurpassed levels’. She said that Viacom now boasts over 1.6 billion fans, followers and subscribers worldwide across all social media platforms and websites. The broadcaster also boasts six

billion video views a month – a yearly increase of 61 per cent. Central to Viacom’s strategy, said Wells, has been an investment in mobile and short-form content. “Content is still king but the definition of content has shifted. It’s as much about a Snap or a GIF as it is about long-form TV shows.” Original shows for social include dating show Single AF, which puts the romantic fate of seven single celebrities in the hands of its MTV Facebook followers. The show, which will also be a 10-episode series due to TX in late October, has to date enjoyed 100 million views on MTV’s digital platforms and social accounts. And while many traditional news organisations have criticised social media

Facebook’s Daniel Danker states the case for the social networks

platforms for their handling of news content, MTV is embracing it and this year replaced its long-form journalism with short-form video pieces – a move that Wells said has led to over 150 million video views per month. Fellow panellist Nick Dandy from Australian pay-TV broadcaster Foxtel also took a

social-centric view to help build momentum for series five of its internationally popular prison drama series Wentworth. Key features included launching an integration room on Facebook Live, which allows fans to ask a different character questions each week after the show had aired. Foxtel also added a Facebook messenger chatbot

which is updated with three story arcs each week. Dandy adds that discoverability is the key advantage to using platforms such as Facebook, but he adds that this comes with a caveat if the social networks want to remain ‘friends’: “We want to keep our content in our environment,” he said.

LivePanel launches IRT presents NewTek By Carolyn Giardina Launching at IBC is the NewTek LivePanel, a customisable browser-based control system that is now included with NewTek IP Series multicamera production systems and optionally available for TriCaster TC1.

LivePanel ships with panels designed to control various aspects of the workflow including switching, audio, media playback, scoreboards and macro triggering. 7.K11

Laying foundations for digital future dB Broadcast By Heather McLean UK systems integrator dB Broadcast has just completed a key part of a connectivity transition project that transforms the way the BBC provides and manages its core technology. In this time of unprecedented technical change, the overall project involved upgrading to an IP infrastructure on a network that has more than 4,000 circuits

123 IBC D2 2017 v2 Final.indd 1

interconnecting over 90 sites. And the company is talking about the project here at IBC. dB Broadcast worked with BT to survey the major sites throughout the UK, install new bays and over 150km of cross-site cabling, in readiness for installation and migration of new equipment, including routers and conversion equipment. The project included significant upgrades to the BBC infrastructure at all key London sites, with larger SAM and Lawo routers at Broadcasting House.

The work allowed the BBC to start using the state-of-the-art broadcast network in March in a phased migration. The network paves the way for future digital innovation, as well as delivering considerable cost savings. The new network links all UK sites, including 21 broadcasting centres and local radio stations, as well as connecting to the main overseas bureaux and partners for playout of BBC TV channels. 10.A28

enticing demo By George Jarrett One of the sharpest stand demos, designed and provided by IRT, is the DVB look at targeted advertising as an application of hybrid broadband broadcast specs. It is built on a combination of DVB and HbbTV technology. “It opens a business case, especially for the free-toair operators because they now have a standardised solution in place for improved monetisation,” said DVB project director Peter Siebert. “We provide the forward channel and the necessary signalling, and HbbTV provides the requisite protocols to synchronise the two streams very tightly. That is the critical element,” he added. “The consumer should not see a glitch when the TV switches from normal broadcast mode and stitches in the targeted advertising content, which comes from the internet.” Entry and exit are the critical factors, so the demo highlights

DVB’s Peter Siebert looks to address market demands

one normal broadcast with targeted commercial content, and the no glitch option. Given that HbbTV 2.01 is just emerging but is crucial to this implementation, the demo counts as an enticing prospect. “With HbbTV we have created a study mission group to look into targeted advertising, to see if the solution as seen addresses all the relevant demands of the market. If more specs are required we will produce them,” said Siebert. 1.D81

4K video with TICO Deltacast

By Carolyn Giardina Deltacast’s TICO-supported products include its TICO IP video capture card, which is on its IBC stand. It is also in use at the TICO Alliance stand – part of a demo with the Grass Valley Densité IP Gateway (IPG-3901), from which it receives 4K/UHD

video over a 10GbE connection, to be visualised on a 4K screen. “With the visually lossless 4:1 TICO compression technology, broadcasters are able to move 4K signals across their existing SDI networks, making it easier for them to implement their IP transitions at a time that makes sense for them,” said Daniel Collin, product manager, interfaces, Grass Valley. “In

the IBC demonstration with Deltacast, we are showing how this technology is impacting hybrid workflows.” Deltacast CEO Christian Dutilleux said, “We are in a transition period between SDI and IP and it is not obvious to determine how long this will take. TICO is a very interesting opportunity in this context.” 7.A14

Industry must ‘Rise’ to the challenge of bolstering female leadership roles By Ann-Marie Corvin The majority of people in the industry believe that working practices need to be improved in the broadcast manufacturing and services sector if it is to retain and increase the number of women working in senior leadership positions, according to a new survey. To celebrate its relaunch as Rise, the gender diversity organisation formerly known as Females in Broadcast has published the results of its survey at IBC, examining the paucity of women in senior management roles in the industry. Of the 100 broadcast industry professionals of all genders who were quizzed by Rise, 70 per cent said that their company’s working practices could be improved for women, with the

main issues including career path progression, childcare provision and flexible working. The survey exposes the lack of women in senior management roles, with just 15 per cent reporting that their senior management team featured 50 per cent or more women; 60 per cent had a minority of women in senior roles and in most cases no women at all on their senior management team. “Gender inequality is a serious issue for our industry that needs to be better recognised, particularly at the top of organisations,” said Rise founder Sadie Groom, who added that there were good economic reasons for companies to increase their gender diversity. “What does it say to women with aspirations to

climb the corporate ladder, when fewer than two per cent of CEOs in our sector are female? We need to work with manufacturers to promote the female developers and users of their equipment. It sounds almost petty, but if young women don’t see ‘people like them’ providing technical support, designing products or leading a team, they are less likely to consider these kinds of roles.” Rise aims to hold quarterly networking events, seminars and a mentoring scheme aimed at opening more opportunities for female broadcast professionals. It will also look to collaborate with similar groups in adjacent sectors and around the world to share ideas and success stories. For more info visit www.risewib.com

ISO5 provides excellent support OUTLINED

AMWA By George Jarrett The principal enabler around IBC is SMPTE ST 2110, but every lead dancer needs excellent support. This has come with the emergence of AMWA’s ISO5. “ISO4 provided a rudimentary point-to-point connectivity as part of discovery and registration, but modern TV facilities need to replicate what routing systems did. You need to take multiple sources and multiple destinations, and you need to be able to do salvo connections where you configure a whole control room all at once,” said AMWA executive director Brad Gilmer. “ISO5 takes us past the door and down the corridor to the facility where you can make many connections between many sources and many receivers,” he added. “The revised JT-NM is on a timeline, and the move to dematerialisation is something some people are experiencing now.”

In the main, dematerialisation will come further down the IP road. But what is the status of ISO5? “We had an ‘interop’ event prior to IBC and over 20 companies successfully interoperated with ISO5. We learned a few things and they have been incorporated in a revision of the document,” said Gilmer. “After the show we will be calling for an AMWA board vote to publish it. “The most pressing things evolve around that area of dematerialisation. The EBU has done some studies, and we have the AMWA Labs,” he added. “We are looking at how to address security built in as a subset of any kind of new media facility.” A set of pointers to help people move into the realm of dematerialisation may look at best practices in security, virtualisation and architectural design. “There are two components to that, one being running just on generic IT infrastructure, and then to be cloud fit, which is another step up,” said Gilmer. 6.A07

Connect, convert, scale, sync, split – repeat Atomos By David Fox Atomos had a reasonable success with its handful of Connect converters a few years ago, until the chipset was discontinued, but was never seen as a serious player. However, having developed extensive conversion technology for its recorder/ monitor products, it has decided to give broadcasters and systems integrators what they want: the full range.

125 IBC D2 2017 v2 Final.indd 1

It is now launching a colourful new family of 15 units, which are software controllable (using a subset of its AtomOS operating system) over USB, as well as via dip switch control. Some of the models can also overlay timecode, waveforms and up to eight channels of audio. The range includes connectors (from analogue to digital and interlace to progressive), converters (SDI, HDMI and fibre), scalers (4K, HD, SD), sync (genlock and timecode), SDI splitters (which

can be used for multiviewers), and SDI repeaters. They will ship soon after IBC. “We’ve been working on them for a year and a half, but didn’t want to release them piecemeal,” said Atomos CEO, Jeromy Young. “We think this is a great chance to get a foothold in this market.” The boxes come with removable mounting ears, lockable HDMI and DC power ports, and dual AC/USB power, and cost from €95 to €398. 11.D25/11.D15

Igloo Vision’s domes are portable and provide 360° 8K video

OUTLINED

Igloo Vision By Neal Romanek Igloo Vision, UK makers of immersive and 360° screen technology, are offering what they say is the world’s first 360° 8K monitoring system. In the IBC Future Zone, Igloo is projecting the 8K video inside one of its signature projection domes (or igloos). The projection allows content creators to view and work with 360° content without having to wear VR headsets.

The wrap around screen also gives production teams the opportunity to work collaboratively on immersive content, just as a team would on any dubbing stage or screening room. The dome is also being shown with a 5.1 surround system. At its booth, Igloo is live-streaming 360° 8K content from a miniEYE 360° camera rig. NewTek’s NDI plug-in for Adobe Creative Cloud is being used for the sending of full-resolution, real-time video across the network.

Israel’s Channel 2 News goes for major studio upgrade

“People need to work on content collaboratively,” said Igloo Vision MD and founder Colin Yellowley. “We’re showing how this can work within a VR production. In the booth we’ve got an edit suite and can edit on the monitor. With 360° and VR filming, you can’t have anyone on set, because once you have the camera up, everyone’s in shot, so it’s also a great remote monitor solution. “The dome can also be used for viewing dailies and rushes.

The system will be supplied and installed by Clear-Com’s channel partner Onset Systems Engineering. Channel 2 News is a long-standing user of Clear-Com systems but the studio refit presented an ideal opportunity to upgrade to the latest technology, and Clear-Com is discussing

the implementation here in Amsterdam. Rami Daniel, CTO, Channel 2 News, said: “We selected to work with Clear-Com again because we have been very pleased with our current communications system. The new Eclipse HX system is able to respond and deal with the requirements of complex TV broadcasts in a synchronised way.” The system installed at Channel 2 News comprises the Eclipse HX digital matrix intercom; Production Maestro; MADI and IVC cards; LQ-R and the new 32 Key Lever panels.
