Transform Communication with Sony's
AI-based Video Analytics Solution
The growing demand for professional AV solutions to accommodate new ways of working and experiencing
the	world	presents	different	and	challenging	opportunities	for	businesses	of	all	sizes...

W

ith the advent of artificial intelligence
(AI), AV solutions have evolved into
a very strategic asset where environments
are increasingly more collaborative and
productive.
Greater adoption of AI is expected to
meet the needs for more engagement and
collaboration, specifically in the education and
corporate markets.
"Unlike professional production houses
and broadcasters, video production is not
an essential skill in markets where the entire
responsibility for installing, managing and
maintaining the AV systems falls to underresourced AV and IT departments," says
Lawrence Tang, Head of Business & Industrial
Solutions Marketing Division.
"With the rising popularity of video
communications, we want to provide
our customers with a cost-effective yet
powerful solution that allows them to

create professional and engaging content
effortlessly."
Sony recently introduced the groundbreaking REA-C1000 Edge Analytics
Appliance, which creates impactful video
presentation content in real-time, without the
need for professional training, additional staff
or equipment.
Utilizing advanced AIbased video analytics
technology to analyze
the input received
from
connecting
cameras, REA-C1000
automatically extracts
the object in focus and
combines it with other
images in real-time on
a Graphics Processor
Unit.
This
unique
Sony's	BRC	camera	
technology uses motion/ together	with	REA-C1000

face detection and color/shape recognition,
effectively making it the powerful brain to any
connecting camera and AV setup, enabling
professional content to be created in a costeffective manner.
Lawrence explains that the REA-C1000
vastly improves the quality of communication
by empowering the speaker to deliver
content and to engage the audience
like never before. He reiterates Sony's
commitment to inspire its customers
and deliver solutions that are Powering
Today, Transforming Tomorrow. "The
REA-C1000 is yet another example
of Sony working together with our
AV partners to create solutions
that help solve the
real-life technology
and
budget
challenges of our
customers."

At BroadcastAsia 2019, visitors can witness
the revolutionary REA-C1000 Edge Analytics
Appliance at the Sony booth, alongside the
latest portfolio of solutions that redefines
reality. They include, Sony's Crystal LED
display system in 4K resolution, which

camera, part of the widely acclaimed HDC
Series, that furnishes media operators with
premium 4K/HD/HDR content in a powerful,
portable and highly cost-effective package
while maintaining compatibility with current
production infrastructure and workflows. With
these solutions, Sony is continuously working
collaboratively with customers to bring their
vision to life.

DataMiner Manages QVC Japan
IP-based 4K Productions

Skyline	Communications'	award-winning,	AI-powered	DataMiner	network	management	and	
orchestration	platform	has	recently	been	deployed	at	QVC	Japan...

T

he DataMiner System at QVC Japan in
Makuhari is the end-to-end management
platform across all five areas of their in-house
production infrastructure, touching all their
infrastructure elements supplied by many
different manufacturers.
The facility recently underwent a huge
transformation, both with the migration from
HD to 4K and from SDI to IP. Such an IPbased 4K facility can unlock many potential
business opportunities, but at the same time
gives rise to many new challenges. That is
why QVC Japan also needed to invest in a
new sophisticated network management
system, one that is capable to support them
both during and after these technology
innovations. DataMiner and its cutting-edge
solutions are definitely up to that task.
QVC Japan's viewers were shifting en
masse to UHD television. As a result, they had
to reshape their entire organization in order to
be able to produce 4K content. The aim was
to fully comply with the SMPTE ST 2110

DataMiner network management has been deployed at (Inset)	QVC	Japan	headquarters

standard for the delivery of uncompressed
video, audio and metadata over IP networks,
ensuring interoperability across QVC Japan's
entire ecosystem. The choice for DataMiner

was rather a logical one, since it has already
been successfully deployed at other facilities
of the QVC family.
"As a multi-vendor, AI-powered network

management and orchestration platform,
DataMiner truly orchestrates services end to
end across any technology boundaries, no
matter the protocol, vendor or technology.
That is why our solutions are a perfect fit for
QVC Japan," said Yohann Guilloux, Regional
Account Manager for the APAC region at
Skyline Communications. "On top of that,
QVC already experienced the strategic value
of DataMiner first-hand at their facilities in
the US, UK and Italy. That means QVC Japan
can also benefit from the long-standing
experience of those teams, on top of the
DataMiner training they recently received."
With the DataMiner system in place, QVC
Japan is entirely free to pick the best-of-breed
technology for their new IP environment,
providing them with an utterly flexible and
future-proof ecosystem. They are now fully
equipped to manage their entire facility
through just a single unified interface.
QVC Japan part of the global QVC
enterprise, a major shopping TV channel that
strives to take the shopping experience to a
higher level.
The operation in Japan follows the same
path of QVC US, UK and Italy, as those
facilities already successfully deployed
DataMiner.
