Grass Valley Helps MediaHub
Address New Market Dynamics
Australia's leading broadcast services provider, MediaHub Australia, has turned to long-time
collaborator Grass Valley to help optimize its operations...

he solutions will help MediaHub Australia
to easily deliver highly adaptive services
and transition to a bespoke business model.
Building on an existing SLA agreement,
Grass Valley has created a bespoke package,
delivering support for all MediaHub Australia's
equipment on a per-channel basis. The new
deal moves from support based on capital
purchases, to one based on channel count.
Thanks to this new framework, MediaHub
Australia can deliver a more flexible service
offering to its customers - from adding a
new streaming service or a linear channel to
on-demand or mobile app-based access to
content.
"Our close working relationship over
many years has given Grass Valley an
in-depth knowledge of how our operation
works. This valuable insight, together with
its market leading solutions, is why Grass
Valley is strongly positioned to help prime

our business to meet any
challenge the market throws
at us," says Alan Sweeney,
CEO at MediaHub. "We pride
ourselves in leading the way
when it comes to broadcast
service provision and always
strive to keep our operation
at the cutting edge. Thanks
to Grass Valley, we have
cemented our position as the
market leaders with a radical
new approach that keeps us
and our customers one step
ahead of the ever-shifting
topography of the media industry."
Grass Valley custom designed workflows
to meet MediaHub Australia's unique needs.
All the channels handled by MediaHub
Australia's facility are controlled by Grass
Valley's Morpheus Automation and server

The deal builds on an existing SLA agreement

playout system. "With consumers firmly
taking charge of their content engagement,
broadcasters, media organizations and
service providers need the agility to quickly
respond to what audiences demand,"

says Ward Hansford, Vice
President Sales, Oceania at
Grass Valley. "This project
with
MediaHub
Australia
perfectly illustrates how we
can help service providers reshape their business to stay
ahead in today's fast shifting
mediascape. The agreement
delivers the increased flexibility,
scalability and agility needed
for MediaHub Australia to
transition to a per channel
count model. MediaHub sets
the high watermark for cutting
edge broadcast service provision and we are
incredibly proud that the company has once
again turned to Grass Valley at this critical
period in its evolution."

Egripment Support Systems Unveils
New PanBar Remote System
Egripment Support Systems is introducing a new PanBar Remote System
for its remote heads...

anBar Remote System and
encoded pan & tilt head:
Egripment Support Equipment and
Miller Tripods have teamed up and
put their minds together to create
a product that could serve several
areas of the broadcast and film
industry.
The standard way to control
a camera has now been
updated. The combination uses
Egripment's Electronics Control
306D XL
Unit and Remote Technology with remote head
Miller's excellent fluid pan and tilt
head capabilities.
Miller re-designed their current line of
Arrow Fluid heads by upgrading it with a TTL
encoder giving an encoder resolution that
can be used for tracking data when doing
Augmented Reality, but at the same time also
can be used by Egripment to control all of its
remote heads.

The combination gives the camera
operator the traditional feeling of
operating a normal camera while
operating a remote head instead.
Egripment's PanBar control can
now operate any of Egripment
remote heads such as the latest
306 head or even the classic
HotHead. It is possible to change/
reduce the gear ratio using a freely
adjustable control corresponding to a
ratio of 1 to 4.
With the additional
EDS
(fluid)
function, adjustable for
each axis independently, even
long focal range shoots can be
accomplished with the highest
precision, without any lack of 205 remote head
haptic feedback.
Thanks to the high-resolution
encoders at the fluid head, the

new PanBar delivers both, high speed and
instant response as well as ultra-slow speed
movements in an unmatched precision and
accuracy.
For repositioning a reset button has been
added, which can be activated on the
Electronic Control Unit (ECU) or via the Zoom
Handle from Canon or Fujinon.
A manufacturer of high-end camera support
systems and remote broadcast solutions for
the film and broadcast industries, Egripment
has a long reputation of manufacturing a wide
range of camera support and remote
broadcast solutions, for sale
or rental, to TV productions,
concerts and sporting events
across the globe.
With a product line that
includes cranes, remote
heads, dollies, and tracking
systems for cinema, modernsize/small cameras and ENG/

Egripment PanBar
System for its remote heads

broadcast cameras, Egripment claims to be
the only manufacturer that can offer adequate
supply and service for events requiring
large quantities of special camera support
equipment.
