NAB2022PREVIEW
>BRAINSTORM
Motion graphics are so intensely integrated in sports that most can believe that such events are impossible to digest without graphics. The ability to include stats or in-context rich information that enhances the audience’s perception makes it almost impossible to conceive a sport event broadcasted in TV just with the speakers’ voice. Brainstorm is specialized in creating 3D real-time data-driven graphics, virtual sets, and AR/VR/XR applications. This means that our graphics products can integrate with sport data providers to include real-time stats, but at the same time the StormLogic management for graphics interaction are also applicable to realtime AR/VR graphics, allowing for excellent in-context management of the storytelling. Many broadcasters are taking advantage of AR/VR in-context graphics for sports and entertainment shows, and even go one step beyond to include such graphics within virtual sets, creating impressive IMR (Immersive Mixed Reality) productions. Some, like the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) use AR to improve the branding of their performers, adding visual impact to the broadcasted events. Others like the BBC use IMR applications to overcome current social distancing limitations, as they did in the Wimbledon onsite coverage or the remote coverage of the Tokyo Olympics, in which they were able to create practically a 24-hour coverage of the event using a virtual set and AR graphics from the UK while practically resembling being in Tokyo.

>G&D NORTH AMERICA
Sometimes less is more: KVM manufacturer G&D’s new high-end extender product series Vision XS comes with a small housing and big performance. Following the motto “smaller, more compact, more powerful”, G&D developed a new compact multi-purpose KVM tool with a bandwidth of 10G and video transmission for resolutions up to 4K. Users can expect the best video quality and an even better performance. With a bandwidth of up to 10 Gbit/s, VisionXS opens up a new dimension of possibilities. Especially fast videos and frequently changing image content now require significantly less compression thus improving the user experience. VisionXS products can either be operated in pairs as an extender line or they can also be integrated into matrix installations. Universal compatibility with G&D’s IP KVM matrix systems thus enables a high degree of flexibility. This makes it even easier to plan and expand KVM installations, even at a later date.

These apps may unlock features ranging from advanced intercom to control, automation, or monitoring system functionalities. And since Riedel is constantly developing new apps, the SmartPanel’s capabilities continue to evolve with industry demands. Of course, Riedel will also be showcasing innovations and new features for their wired and wireless intercom product lines, Artist and Bolero, as well as a new addition to their headset range.
