seeking is the ability
support
channels up and down quickly
specific
to spin
to
events. Project
planning conversations have also
moved in the direction of reduced
footprint, less hardware and more
software-defined infrastructure. IT/IP
solutions are in growing demand for
their ability to support any style and
size of workflow.
The NDI protocol makes IP live
production more cost-effective
and
versatile than ever.
Virtual
studio technology has also become
increasingly compact and flexible,
combining latest-generation studio
robotics
and
graphic
rendering
systems. The transition from HD to
UHD continues with HDR progressing
from aspirational to routine.
Among recent projects that have
helped
our customers
overcome
some of these hurdles is the upgrade
of Studio 5 at Al
Jazeera's Doha
headquarters. The timeline was tight
but we had worked with AJ in the
past so knew that we could meet
the challenge. The project embraced
the complete rebuild of the AJ Arabic
channel main studio with a fully
redundant SDI/IP hybrid system as
the first step in a migration to full
SMPTE 2110.
Datos
Media, another Danmon
Group company, recently completed
a cloud software platform allowing
Xarxa Audiovisual
Local
content between local
to share
televisions
in Catalunya. Datos Media led the
project, designing the platform and
managing the development of the
solution. Fully deployed in Azure,
the platform has been programmed
from first principles by local software
company Ebantic, integrating with
market solutions such as File Catalyst
transfer acceleration software and
Hiscale transcoding.
BeckTV Integrates New Broadcast Facility for KWTV
W
hen KWTV in Oklahoma City
decided
to move from its
existing broadcast facility to a new
one in the Century Center building
located in the heart of downtown,
the station turned to its broadcast
systems integration partner of over
30 years, BeckTV, to assist.
KWTV
selected new broadcast
systems including Evertz routing with
an integrated enterprise multiviewer
and TDM audio router; Evertz master
control switcher and airpath; ClearCom
intercom, G&D KVM, Avid video
production servers, Ross
Calrec
camera
robotics, Sony production switcher
and
ELC automation systems; a
Audio console; Imagine
Communications
master control
playout and automation systems;
and custom BeckTV consoles.
Going live from a new facility
while an existing one is on the air
is complicated and involves hours
of strategic planning, coordination,
installation, testing, training, and
show rehearsals. To ensure a smooth
transition, BeckTV maintained
a
crew of two engineers and six
technicians on site to install,
commission, and support all
new and repurposed systems.
" Ongoing, productive,
focused communications are
key to executing a successful
project, especially on such a
massive scale, " said Brendan
Cline, Director of Engineering
for BeckTV. " With this project
at KWTV, we continue our track record
of being one of the best broadcast
integrators in the country
BeckTV's integration for KWTV in downtown Oklahoma City
executing successfully on launching
greenfield
and
facility projects. "
kvm-tec Scalableline
Free scalable KVM - the Road to a flexible KVM system architecture
Again kvm-tec is a step and
offers the first free scalable
KVM system with nearly
no latency, where up to 16
sources in 4K and Full HD can
be freely scaled, displayed on
a 4K monitor, and operated
with just one mouse and
keyboard. But
that's
not
all - with many other flexible
features, the kvm-tec ScalableLine
takes you into a new dimension in
the KVM world.
The
new
kvm-tec
ScalableLine
with its now orange turbo boxes, not
only brings fresh color into the rack
but also takes the KVM user into a
completely new KVM dimension.
With this
freely
scalable
KVM
system, 4K and Full HD sources can
be combined and up to 16 sources
can be displayed and freely scaled
on a 4K monitor. To control these
16 sources, the user only needs
one mouse and one keyboard. The
Scalableline is a Displayport 1.2
Extender over IP, which is available
as a fiber version with a range of
300m and a resolution of 4096x2160
@ 60Hz (5K 5120x1440) with a perfect
color coding of 4: 4: 4 @ 8 bit per
color.
The kvm-tec Scalableline enables
video wall functions at an excellent
price. The orange turbo boxes bring
even more highlights and make for
a flexible KVM system architecture
possible: " Cut it out " , " Picture in
Picture " , " Move " , " Zoom & Work " and
the option of combining 4 monitors
to
is included and enables comfortable
management and intuitive operation
of the KVM extenders in the switching
system.
Full HD & 4K ScalableLine
For Full HD sources, MAXflex
dual
Unit
local with
Scalable Remote
becomes an ultra-flexible
ScalableLine and for 4K applications,
Scalable Local
is
combined with
a video wall. The intelligent
software kvm-tec Switching Manager
Scalable Remote. Flexible - more
flexible - most flexible, Full HD and
4K can be freely combined with each
other in the ScalableLine system.
