LAS VEGAS—TVU Networks is set to premiere the TVU One TM1000G—a new model of its TVU One IP newsgathering transmitter—at the 2018 NAB Show. Weighing just 2.2 pounds, the TVU One TM1000G features an embedded global modem that makes it easier for broadcasters to transmit live coverage of important events, like elections, natural disasters and sporting events, from virtually anywhere in the world.

With the global modem, broadcasters need only insert local SIMs wherever they are into the transmitter and they’re ready to go live. Compared to TVU Networks’ standard model, the TVU One TM1000 IP, the new TM1000G offers increased flexibility, robust functions and hassle-free operation, without sacrificing performance or picture quality.

Previously, depending where in the world the user wanted to broadcast from, the standard model required that a specific set of modems be installed to ensure compatibility with a particular region’s SIMs. This meant that modems had to be swapped out if a broadcaster planned to use it in a country that required a different modem configuration.

The TVU One TM1000G transmitter is available with HEVC video compression and TVU’s patented Inverse Statmux Plus (IS+) transmission algorithm to transmit full HD quality video with a half-second of latency at 3Mbps. And it can transmit simultaneously over multiple connections, including cellular, microwave, WiFi, Ethernet, BGAN and satellite.

The 2018 NAB Show takes place in Las Vegas, April 9-12. TVU Networks will be in booth C1707. For more information, visit www.nabshow.com.

LAS VEGAS—At the 2018 NAB Show, ZOO Digital will demonstrate a new security feature that employs machine learning and facial recognition to automatically obscure all areas of a video stream except for the actors’ faces or mouths, or any other areas necessary for accurate lip-syncing, subtitling and dubbing.

By deliberately spoiling the video, TV and movie assets used for localization would no longer have entertainment value, thereby reducing their value for piracy. The security feature obscures portions of each frame using a process similar to rotoscoping, a visual effects technique used to create a matte for a live action sequence for compositing purposes.

While using rotoscoping to spoil proxies has been around for a while, this manual technique is expensive and time-consuming. By automating the process, the facial recognition feature could be used on all kinds of high-value content, not just major Hollywood releases, for greater content security, without impeding the subtitling and dubbing process. The company also offers encryption, two-factor authentication and individual watermarking solutions.

The 2018 NAB Show takes place in Las Vegas, April 9-12. ZOO Digital will be in booth SL5724. For more information, visit www.nabshow.com.

LAS VEGAS—At the 2018 NAB Show, Comrex will unveil EarShot, which delivers telephone-based IFB and live studio program audio to field-based remote broadcasts. As a simple hardware solution, EarShot helps TV stations reduce remote IFB costs, while providing greater flexibility.

While most other phone technology has moved to voice-over-IP (VoIP), remote IFB has largely relied on a legacy approach involving banks of telephone auto-couplers connected to expensive analog phone lines. This has left broadcasters paying for a dozen or more POTS lines to provide remote IFB functionality. EarShot pays for itself by eliminating the need for these phone services.

Up to 30 users can listen to program or IFB feeds by calling into EarShot with a mobile phone. It can handle up to four program feeds or two IFB feeds, but for higher fidelity, smartphone apps can be used to pull the audio in studio quality. EarShot, which will be available in mid-2018, can be connected to a low-cost cloud-based VoIP service, or tied to a station's VoIP PBX.

The 2018 NAB Show takes place in Las Vegas, April 9-12. Comrex will be in booth C2330. For more information, visit www.nabshow.com.

LAS VEGAS—At the 2018 NAB Show, Dielectric has chosen to spotlight its spectrum repack UHF/VHF compatible antennas engineered for the next-generation ATSC 3.0 broadcast standard. The antennas meet safety margins that withstand the higher peak to average power ratios (PAPR) of the new standard.

Since ATSC 3.0 uses OFDM modulation rather than ATSC 1.0’s 8-VSB, the PAPR is 2 to 3db higher. Dielectric’s ATSC 3.0-compatible repack antennas and filters meet these higher peak power demands and band-tunable filters are tuned to ATSC 3.0 before they ship to customers. Once installed, this equipment would not need to be re-tuned should the customer decide to switch to ATSC 3.0.

The antennas also include FutureFill, which increases power density by 7 to 9dB close to the tower, and reduces the main lobe gain by 1.2 to 1.4dB. The broadcaster can, if additional transmitter power is available, increase the TPO to overcome the main lobe gain reduction, or use Single Frequency Network (SFN) technology to enhance reception at the periphery of the service area.

This allows an existing ATSC 1.0 antenna to be adjusted so that its performance is boosted for ATSC 3.0, without having to be taken down from the tower or replaced.

The 2018 NAB Show takes place in Las Vegas, April 9-12. Dielectric will be in booth C2613. For more information, visit www.nabshow.com.

LAS VEGAS—At the 2018 NAB Show, Tektronix will put the spotlight on hybrid IP/SDI media analysis solutions, as well as 4K/UHD with HDR video monitoring and quality assurance solutions for virtual or cloud environments. As the SDI to IP transition accelerates, there is a need for tools that identify, isolate and remedy SDI/IP workflow issues.

Tektronix Prism

With its broad range of measurements, trend graphs and session displays, the Tektronix Prism offers connectivity, monitoring and analysis for ST 2022-6, ST 2022-7 and ST 2110, and helps identify intermittent loss of video, audio or data content, and other network issues. Prism performs IP and SDI (12G/3G/HD/SD) measurements.

Tektronix also extended its Precision Time Protocol (PTP) timing analysis to include ST2022-7 timing for system setup and maintenance to synchronize facilities in a mixed packet, frame-accurate environment. The Tektronix SPG8000A master sync and PTP grandmaster clock generator offers PTP support for hybrid IP and SDI infrastructures.

Tektronix will also show solutions that capture and produce stunning content utilizing 4K/Ultra High Definition, High Dynamic Range, and Wide Color Gamut. The Prism platform helps setup cameras for live HDR using a proprietary STOP waveform and automated conversion support for various camera log curves adopted by top camera manufacturers and supports SMPTE ST 2084 standard and Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) as per the ARIB ST B-67 standard.

Tektronix’s WFM8000 series waveform monitors support 4K and WCG, while WFM5200 series waveform monitors support those working with HD-HDR. Both support a wide range of camera log curves and HDR gammas. Customers who purchased a valid software option key license for Option PROD can field-upgrade their existing instruments free-of-charge with new firmware that can be downloaded from tek.com/downloads.

As content providers increasingly produce, encode and stream content in virtual or cloud environments, the underlying technology can be complex and introduce errors. The problem is exacerbated by the lack of visibility on the actual quality of delivered content, which can negatively impact brands and increase churn.

Tektronix Aurora file-based QC tools and Sentry scalable monitoring tools provide quality measurements of virtual and cloud programs so content providers can take corrective action before it detracts from the Quality of Experience (QoE).

The 2018 NAB Show takes place in Las Vegas, April 9-12. Tektronixwill be in boothSU5006. For more information, visit www.nabshow.com.
