This daily rundown provides snippets of big announcements and what is on display at in hundreds of stands at the RAI this year. Here is the Day 3 (17 September) SportTechBuzz roundup, featuring news from Sony, Videlio, Verizon Digital Media Services, Wowza, TVU Networks, Convergent Design, Canare, Riedel, Aperi, Blackmagic Design, Avid, EVS, the Telos Alliance Group, NeuLion, Vizrt, Media Links, and Snell Advanced Media (SAM).
Proxies make multicam remote a live reality Sony's (Hall 13) new Low Bandwidth Remote Production tool, developed with Suitcase TV, uses proxies to enable remote multicam production using low bandwidth connections.
Bandwidth is a key element in determining the number of cameras that can be used on a remote production. By delivering lower quality proxy streams it is possible to work with five camera using just 1GB of bandwidth and with minimal latency, says Nicolas Moreau, Sony Product Marketing Manager.
Typically this application enables remote production for sports. It makes it affordable to do live coverage for second league or the less popular sports.
IP and 4K courses launching with Videlio Videlio (10.A16) is developing two training Academies, one for 4K and one for IP, to help bring engineers, broadcasters and media professionals up to speed on the realities and practicalities of these technologies.
On the IP side, Operations Director Malcolm Robinson says that there will be a 1-day course covering technology and the business benefits and implications of IP. The 3-day course will be more technically based.
For the 3-day course we are looking at the level of technical knowledge needed for us to fully engage with them. Plans are in place to grow this course into a formal 8-10 day Cisco IP training accreditation.
Verizon expands Latin America OTT strategy Verizon Digital Media Services (7.C11) is showing off its Smartplay technology that is a one-to-one session-management system and its Volicon Media Intelligence service, which records and stores broadcast content across multiple interfaces and which now features the proprietary Slicer application that allows for delivery, monitoring, and clipping of live OTT content.
SVG got the chance to speak with Verizon Digital Media Services regarding its burgeoning OTT strategy in Latin America were the company says 65% of adults now have connectivity to the Internet and that streaming services are seeing tremendous growth.
The Mexican movie theater company Cin polis offers a streaming service called Cin polis KLIC that's a VOD subscription offering for at-home streaming. Recently they began exploring the sports business, striking a deal with the popular Liga MX soccer club Chivas of Guadalajara. Verizon Digital Media Services turned around a high-end pay-per-view streaming service for the company in less than two weeks.
What we are seeing in the region, said Jossi Fresco, who is Regional Director of Latin America for Verizon Digital Media Services, is that sports soccer in particular are so popular that many of the clubs and customers that before found engaging with their customers to provide live good quality streaming experiences beyond their means, now can deliver that because our platform is end-to-end.
Wowza breaks into hardware with Clearcaster Wowza Media Systems (14.C08) is making company history at this year's IBC Show with the debut of its first piece of hardware: Clearcaster. The appliance is a purpose-built 1RU encoder for quick and easy direct publishing to Facebook Live in 1080p30 and even up to 4K UHD, when supported. It's not designed from entry-level broadcasting (its very much for major broadcasters and mid-to-high-level productions) but it should certain help greatly improve the quality of publishers' pushing live content to the social platform.
It was a lot of fun, Barry Owen, VP, Engineering for Wowza said of working on a solution with the Facebook team. We have really interesting interface where we use an IoT-like model where the device with a service at Wowza.com and all of the messages between Wowza, the box, and Facebook go through this service. So you don't really ever need direct access to the box. It's all this indirectional way to do it that's really cool.
Clearcaster includes features like the ability to see live reactions and to incorporate comments from viewers on screen for the host to acknowledge. It includes inputs for SDI and HDMI.
TVU tackles multi-cam and multi-destination TVY Producer Among the many solutions available at its IBC Show booth, TVU Networks (2.B28) has brought TVU Producer to make its debut at a major trade show. The solution is a web-based application for producing and streaming live content to social media platforms. Publishers can push multi-camera productions to multiple destinations simultaneously, including Facebook Live, Periscope, YouTube Live, Akamai, UStream, and Livestream).
The will be a tremendous value for sports, especially, said TVU Networks CEO Paul Shen. This helps enable games that normally would never be produced. The sports industry is moving so far and this platform enabled a lot of content to be produced cost effectively.
TVU Producer also features a n AI-based closed captioning system and offers API integration with the Associated Press ENPS news production management system. On the
