Story Highlights
The 2021 SVG Summit will feature something new this year: a Hot Tech Showcase on the main stage on the afternoon of Dec. 13 that will shine a spotlight five key product areas: 5G as a production tool; HDR workflows; Shallow Depth of Field camera systems; Augmented Reality Graphic Systems; and Drones and Aerial Cameras.
Fox Sports will discuss how it uses drone technology during the Hot Tech Showcase at the SVG Summit.
All five of these areas have been generating a lot of buzz among industry professionals so we decided to give them a chance to shine in a series of panel discussions that bring together key end users and key technology developers, says Ken Kerschbaumer, SVG, Co-executive Director, editorial services. It promises to be a lively and long overdue conversation designed to help attendees get a better sense of how they can make a difference in their productions, how to properly embrace them, and future trends to look out for.
Below is the complete schedule for the afternoon. To register to attend please click here:

In this session, Nestor Amaya, VP Solutions Architect at EVS, discusses Groupe TVA's ventures as they set out on a journey to build the right type of infrastructure that would suit their production needs and business ambitions. Rather than investing further in SDI technology, TVA chose to transition to an IP-based infrastructure that would lead them to evolve and scale. Nestor explains the pros and cons of managing and orchestrating IP signals, the associated challenges, and provides insights into how Groupe TVA managed to get onto a successful growth path to IP.
