JVC is Bringing a Robotic PTZ Video-Over-IP Camera to NAB

Information, , ,

KY-PZ100W cameraVideo-production systems are becoming equally as compact as they are sophisticated. That’s great news for producers, as it gives them new opportunities to extend their abilities. JVC is helping to further the process with a new camera it’ll be showing off during this year’s NAB Show in Las Vegas. The camera is compact, powerful, and can be controlled remotely.

JVC’s new KY-PZ100 is the company’s first-ever robotic camera. Here’s a list of important features:

  • Ideal for studio or field applications
  • 3G-SDI and HDMI outputs
  • Features JVC’s unique IP-based communications engine that provides streaming HD video at a variety of bit rates with minimal latency
  • Streams up to 1080p/60 video with two-channel audio using SMPTE 2022 forward error correction
  • Integrated Zixi technology delivers reliable streaming performance with forward error correction and automatic repeat request

One of the KY-PZ100’s coolest features is its ability to be controlled remotely using JVC’s new RM-IP100 remote control panel, a web browser, or a variety of remote units that support VISCA protocol. JVC’s RM-IP100 controller can memorize more than 100 preset settings and positions. For installation versatility, the camera is available in black (KY-PZ100B) or white (KY-PZ100W) housings and can be mounted upside-down, if necessary.

JVC will have demo units of this camera at Booth C4314 during the NAB Show. The KY-PZ100 is expected to retail for $3995.00.

Telestream Bringing New Apps, Cloud Service to NAB 2016

Information, ,

telestream-logoVideo products and services provider Telestream will be bringing several new products to this year’s NAB Show in Las Vegas. Lightspeed Live Stream and Lightspeed Live Capture are two new applications that deliver real-time, enterprise-class streaming and capture for media creators. Telestream Cloud is a video encoding SaaS (software as a service) designed to meet the needs of video production and post-production professionals.

Lightspeed Live Stream solves the problem of preparing real-time content for adaptive bitrate live streaming while Lightspeed Live Capture can independently record multiple channels of SD, HD, or a single channel of UHD video. Both applications can operate stand-alone on Telestream’s Lightspeed Live server but the greatest benefits are realized when coupled with Telestream’s Vantage platform for complete workflow orchestration. Users can concurrently stream, capture and process live content for consumption on a wide variety of platforms.

Telestream’s Cloud service offers high quality video transcoding for all formats and codecs, and dynamically scales in response to customer needs. The service utilizes an easy yet powerful API to automate and integrate workflows. File transfer and encoding times can be optimized from any location since Telestream Cloud uses multiple cloud service providers including Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services and Rackspace.

Telestream Cloud features certified ProRes presets to deliver high-quality video files that conform to Apple standards and ensures trouble free post-production on Apple’s Final Cut Pro platform, as well as other popular editing software packages.

Telestream will be demonstrating all of its new products and services at booth SL 4525 during NAB 2016.

ATSC 3.0 Will Be Featured at NAB 2016

Information,

ATSC LogoThe Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0 protocol will be on display at this year’s National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show in Las Vegas. ATSC 3.0 is the newest version of this protocol that covers both broadcast and internet-based transmissions. ATSC 3.0 is important because it allows for both 4K and high dynamic range (HDR) video.

Live transmissions using the ATSC 3.0 protocol will be on display at the Broadcast Pavilion and Consumer Experience sections of the NAB show. These transmissions will originate on the NAB floor and sent to prototype receivers. There will also be plenty of ATSC 3.0-ready equipment on display, including encoders, signal analyzers, multiplexers, and more.

The committee responsible for creating ATSC 3.0 approved it as the new standard just last week:

The Advanced Television Systems Committee(ATSC) developing the Next Generation Broadcast Transmission Standard (ATSC 3.0) has voted to approve as a Full Standard the key element of the Physical Layer, the so-called “Bootstrap” or the Discovery and Signaling feature of the standard. The Bootstrap includes the designs developed by ONE Media and supported by other broadcasters and equipment manufacturers, including notably the Pearl TV consortium of broadcast companies and the largest global television manufacturer, Samsung. With this approval, the first essential piece of the new paradigm in broadcasting is set.
