What's New For IBC - Part II
NewTek 3play
4800 sports
production system

encoders/modulators and integrated
receiver/decoders. It can also be used
to power, control and monitor opticalfibre transceivers.
Ikegami's Unicam UHD 4K-native
3-CMOS 2/3-inch camera provides
the deep focus required for
broadcast operation. Ergonomic and
operational features are the same as
a conventional Ikegami Unicam HD
camera. A 2/3-inch B4-mount allows
direct docking with conventional
lenses plus a focus-assist function. The
Unicam UHD camera is designed for
easy integration into 4K studio and 4K
field/OB truck systems. Uncompressed
RGB 4:4:4 baseband is delivered
from the camera head to the control
unit to ensure the highest possible
transmission quality. This year also
sees the demonstration of Ikegami's
fourth generation 8K camera, the SHK810, which employs a single 33 millionpixel Super 35 CMOS sensor, achieving
4,000TVL horizontal and vertical
resolution. The sensor allows the
tight depth of focus often chosen for
high-impact drama programmes. The
camera provides 8K, 4K and 2K output,
all in native quality. It can be used in
a fully 8K production environment
or alongside 4K and/or 2K cameras.
Regular PL-mount lenses can be used.
The SHK-810 will be demonstrated
at IBC2015 in conjunction with an 8K
monitor.
Matrox will show its new Monarch
HDX broadcast streamer. This is a
dual-channel H.264 encoder with
3G-SDI and HDMI inputs including
frame synchronisation to compensate
for unstable sources. Two independent
H.264 encoders provide redundancy
or can be set to stream and/or
record at individual settings. Another
dedicated H.264 encoder provides
remote preview of the input. Also on
demonstration will be VS4Recorder
Pro multi-camera recording software.

Multidyne will exhibit its SilverBack
series of camera-mounted HD and 4K
optical fibre camera links. The new
4K5 allows users to convert any quadlink camera into a live production
camera with full intercom and camera
control directly to or from a local or
remote panel.
The SilverBack 4K5 provides a fullbandwidth link between any quad-link
or dual-link 4K camera and the control
area. Also new at IBC is the low-cost
MultiDyneAV line, supporting HD-SDIto-HDMI and HDMI-to-SDI conversion.
Nautel Limited will demonstrate
Nautel HD Multiplex which allows
placement of up to 15 audio streams
or stations within 600 kHz of signal
bandwidth, or up to nine audio streams
in 400 kHz of signal bandwidth.

Shotoku's Free-d2 tracking system
does not require physical encoder
devices attached to the camera
support's moving axes. The system,
based on work by BBC Research &
Development, uses ceiling markers
to determine the exact position and
orientation of the studio camera. The
system computes its exact location
and orientation in all eight axes.
Position tracking data never drifts, no
matter how many complex moves or
hours of operation the camera has. A
Free-d2 sensing camera is attached
directly to the camera. Any type of
camera support can be used, including
Steadicam or even handheld cameras.
The markers are made of simple
reflective material and can be placed
anywhere within the studio lighting
grid or ceiling area.
System-On-Chip (SOC) Technologies will exhibit its range of video and
audio compression/decompression IP,
including cores for 4K video, for FPGA
and ASIC applications in H.265, H.264,
MPEG-2 standards. SOC also offers system-on-module products for hardware
applications.

NewTek will demonstrate 3Play
4800 turnkey sports production
system. Features include slow motion,
instant replay, multi-angle preview,
in-game highlights and social media
publishing.
Octopus Newsroom has announced
version 8 of its newsroom computer
system. This features story-centric
workflow designed to help different
teams within TV, radio and online
portals working collaboratively on
current affairs programmes and news
items.
Ross Video will demonstrate
SmartShell 4, a unified control system
for the company's CamBot and Furio
remote camera pedestals, lifts, and
heads. It comes with a new USBbased joystick panel to trigger robotic
movements. SmartShell 4 now allows
CamBots and Furios to be controlled
from a common interface. Studios can
combine dollies on tracks, manual
and free-roaming pedestals, and
standalone pan/tilt heads into a single
robotic system.

Steadicam inventor Garrett Brown
with the Steadicam M1

Tiffen will demonstrate the M-1
Steadicam portable camera mount.
The new M-1 camera stage is built
around centre drives for high rigidity
and can be supplied with optional
vernier
fingertip-tilt
adjustment.
The G-70x Elastic Arm can handle 70
pounds lifting capacity and has a 29
inch boom range.

Shotoku's Free-d2 tracking system

Timecode Systems will demonstrate
an audio-focused timecode and
genlock generator with an integrated
wireless transceiver. Called ':wave',
it has dual ISM band and Wi-Fi
interfaces. It is designed for use
with the Timecode Systems B:LINK
network and Sound Devices field audio
mixer-recorders.
Variosystems will show its new
Osprey 827e capture card which
features both a 3G HD-SDI input,
ingesting up to true 3G input (SMPTE
424), and an integrated digital video
interface (DVI-I) channel for ingesting
SD or HD analogue video as well as
VGA and HDMI. The card also includes
embedded SDI audio, digital stereo
audio inputs as well as balanced and
unbalanced analogue stereo audio
inputs.
Yamaha's MonitorMix app for the
company's TF Series audio mixers
allows individual wireless mixing from
up to 10 iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
devices simultaneously. Performers
can have individual control over the
aux buses assigned to them. They can
also create combined settings such
as all levels on just one fader. Up to
three devices running TF Editor or
StageMix and up to 10 devices running
MonitorMix can be connected at the
same time.
