Appear, the global leader in live production technology, is stepping up its pace of innovation with two major new initiatives at IBC. The first of these is the launch of a flexible, open software platform providing high-performance media processing for live production. The second is a solution ecosystem comprising Appear’s own capabilities alongside other industry-leading solutions, enabling ‘best of breed’ workflows.

“2024 is Appear’s most innovative year in its 20-year history,” said Thomas Bostrøm Jørgensen, CEO at Appear. “Our first wave of innovation provided the media industry with the most flexible, powerful, and functionally versatile hardware-based live production solutions. At IBC2024, we will complete the live media jigsaw with a software platform that allows media organizations to operate at the highest quality and robustness levels, regardless of their choice between hardware, on-premise software, or the cloud. The launch of our new solution proposition alongside this will provide further technical, operational and commercial flexibility. ”

In addition to these launches, Appear will also unveil important features and functionalities for its award-winning X Platform, the industry leading flexible and highly dense hardware solution. These include:

• 100G IP Gateway Switch

The newly launched 100G IP Gateway Switch module for the X Platform drives cost efficiencies and sustainability by increasing density and significantly increasing media flow throughput.

• Reduced Latency for temporal compression

Latency is critical in live event content production. Appear has further optimized the latency of the AVC and HEVC functions of the X Platform, now delivering end-to-end contribution below 100ms.

• JPEG XS

The new market-leading double density JPEG XS module enables Appear to deliver 8 full HD channels per module, enabling a possible 96 JPEG XS full HD channels across a single 2RU chassis.

• New Compression Module

The new HEVC/AVC X Platform module delivers a significant processing performance increase, combining encoding and decoding, delivering new levels of audio with Dolby Atmos support and HDR / SDR Conversion.

“For much of Appear’s lifetime, private circuit connectivity has been pretty much the only choice for operators connecting the world’s most prestigious live events, initially over satellite and leased lines, but this is changing fast,” said Andy Rayner, CTO, Appear. “Thanks to the increased accessibility of high availability ISP infrastructure and our own 2023 launch of hardware accelerated SRT delivery over higher quality Internet connections. At IBC this year, we are introducing the next generation of Appear by initiating an all-tiers live production software platform and enabling operators to take advantage of our new solutions portfolio.  Individually, both are important, but together we believe that we are building the live production workflows of the future.”

arkona – Stand 9.C01

Astera, a leading developer of innovative light solutions for film, event and TV markets, will be using their attendance at IBC to showcase their extensive – and ever-growing – portfolio of LED-based lights. Front-and-centre will be the presentation of their recently awarded LunaBulb, an innovative new product which externally replicates the appearance of a conventional lightbulb, but internally is driven by Astera’s TitanLED engine, thus providing fine full-colour and wireless control across a range of creative and practical applications.

Being the only LED-based bulb with inbuilt CRMX, together with Astera’s NYXBulb, the brand-new LunaBulb is available with an E26, E27 and B22 fitting and, like a conventional bulb, screws directly into an AC-wired bulb socket. A spring-loaded clip allows the light to be converted from a slimline shape to a conventional bulb, granting it both aesthetic and practical value on sets both indoors and outdoors (since the bulbs maintain the same weatherproofness of an IP44 socket). With fully adjustable white levels (1,750 – 20,000K) and extensive colour mixing (RGB, Mint and Amber, with RGB, HIS, XY and Filter Gel colour selection options), the LunaBulb provides beautiful, flicker free lighting in a variety of settings, and because of its underpinning TitanLED engine, can be coordinated seamlessly with the wider Astera ecosystem using Astera’s intuitive app, their series of White and FX remotes, BTB link or wireless CRMX. Configuration is achieved using either the Astera battery-powered PrepCase or PrepInlay for LunaBulb, which hold up to eight bulbs and allow for quick and efficient configuration, blue mode activation and DMX address assignment on the move.

The LunaBulb – which has received significant praise from a number of cinematographers, gaffers and rental owners due to its practical design and exceptional skin tones – joins Astera’s wider range of innovative slighting solutions, which include the battery-powered PlutoFresnel and LeoFresnel: versatile and portable LED lights that can work both as a high-quality 15º to 60º Fresnel or an accurate Profile Spotlight with 16º to 36º zoom, gobo projection and individually-controllable blades. Drawing just 80W and 250W respectively, PlutoFresnel and LeoFresnel are equivalent to traditional 300W and 1000W tungsten-based Fresnels, but with all the advantages of wireless operation, CRMX and RGBMA color mixing.

The flexible LeoFresnel and PlutoFresnel and their precise projection optics join Astera’s established selection of 100% wireless LED luminaires such as LightDrop, PixelPAR, PowerPAR, PixelBar, the well-known family of Helios, Titan and Hyperion tube lights, and HydraPanel. The latter – a compact and also battery-powered 1300 lumen light that fits in the palm of your hand – is one of Astera’s core offerings: watertight, easy to use and weighing just 600g, the HydraPanel can be mounted anywhere and is especially useful to emulate streetlight for nighttime scenes or to generate accents in the background. With six magnetic light modifiers, up to four HydraPanels can be combined together with a DoPchoice’s Snapbag.

The whole Astera light portfolio – alongside accessories such as the RuntimeExtender battery plate – is designed to operate as a holistic ecosystem, providing lighting professionals their full lighting need. Regardless of the desired application, Astera’s range offers lower power draw, higher output strength, precise colour control, lightweight profile and full installation/application flexibility – whilst still providing lighting crews and rentals with the specific creative qualities associated of both traditional and innovative lighting fixtures.

Speaking of their attendance, Ben Díaz, Head of Product Management for Astera, said: “Our attendance at IBC goes from strength to strength each year, and this year’s booth is set to be a must-visit for broadcast lighting engineers, particularly in light of the reception the LunaBulb has received so far; at trade shows, in the press and in testimonials from some of the industry’s leading filmmakers and event providers. We’ll be able to talk with potential customers at IBC about the broad range of ways Astera lighting – and now, the LunaBulb – has been used in film and television, on some of the biggest motion-picture films and TV shows in the last ten years. We have some exciting broadcast case studies to share”.

He continued: “LunaBulb is getting a lot of attention and excellent reviews but it is only part of the picture. Our focus will be on demonstrating to visitors how Astera luminaires can be combined to make the life of fast-paced broadcasting and film crews much easier, since we manufacture lighting tools to streamline their setup times while granting precision, colour excellence and unrivalled wireless controls. We understand how important these qualities are on broadcast sets, where margins are often razor thin, both in terms of time and resources”.

######

BCNEXXT – Stand 3.B23

BCNEXXT will showcase the future of playout operations at IBC 2024 with a new version of cloud-native solution, Vipe. The company is introducing Vipe RT, which delivers the same impressive cost efficiency to live sports and events that BCNEXXT has already deployed in hundreds of entertainment channels around the world.

Offering unparalleled flexibility, market-leading reliability, full customization, and remote operations, Vipe disrupts traditional playout operation by consolidating Linear, Fast, VoD, and Streaming silos onto a common platform with a single point of technical and financial management. Specifically designed for sports and live events, Vipe RT is a new, separate engine that deploys real-time processing upstream from Vipe’s playout engine. As an optional upgrade, Vipe RT can be added to an existing Premium Vipe playout channel to handle live sports and events.

“Vipe RT provides previously unseen levels of automation and unmatched reliability to sports and live events,” states Graham Sharp, CEO of BCNEXXT, USA. “A new Live Operator panel provides real-time control over functionality, such as real-time switching, graphics selection, emergency slates, and audio mapping. All with the added security of a low-latency Web RTC confidence monitor.”

The goal is to achieve maximum resource and personnel efficiency, cut capital expenses, and provide agility and flexibility to create (and shut down) services for broadcasters, sports and live events. The latest Vipe release has increased the number of Quality Control (QC) checks to 80+ while the enhanced, easy-to-use GUI’s automates repetitive tasks and reduces on-screen operator errors. A new playbook, “Transform Your Media Business”, highlights BCNEXXT’s benchmark model for content playout and distribution, outlining how companies can take the first step towards more streamlined media operations.

Vipe takes full advantage of cloud dynamics to scale resources to content’s processing needs. Vipe differentiates content’s complexity to assign resources accordingly, provisioning and releasing resources for the duration of complex live events. Dynamic resource management keeps costs to an absolute minimum by increasing resources only for the duration of any live content. This reduces operational costs by as much as an impressive 60% for file-based channels and potentially more for live sports and news, especially when running occasional live events. Since QC is done ahead of time, Vipe drives 99.9999% reliability, in a lights-out-operation mode for thematic channels.

Vipe drastically simplifies media supply chains and reduces operator-to-channel ratio. Organizations can quickly deploy new channels without upfront costs or jeopardizing on-air playout, using a convenient pay-as-you-go model.

At IBC 2024, BCNEXXT will showcase new capabilities to this transformative distribution platform including:

• Break Containers to quickly adapt to changing break playout requirements. This matches the dynamic course of complex games without fixed break times, such as baseball or cricket.

• Vipe’s new Swimlane View lets a single operator manage nested channel variants. This feature targets multichannel playout where channels follow the same break pattern, often around a single sports event, but have their own regional content and ads during breaks.

• For live events and late arriving file-based content, a low-latency output now lets operators add live subtitling to the regular playout pipeline.

• CPU-only rendering and playout provides even more deployment flexibility.

Schedules and manifests are used to create the versions required for all distribution channels, which are stored in the compressed TS format. Vipe can be deployed across public and private cloud platforms as well as on-premises. With highly optimized compute usage, Vipe’s lower-energy consumption leads to more sustainable operations.

Blue Lucy – Stand 6.C39a

Blue Lucy has announced plans to launch BOLT at IBC 2024.  Described as an asset portal, BOLT provides effortless access to content, allowing media executives to receive, review and share content without navigating complex UIs or waiting for technical teams to deliver files. The Blue Lucy team will also demonstrate extensive integrations and a powerful AI assistant in BLAM, Blue Lucy’s proven tool for asset management, workflow orchestration and integration, at the show.

BOLT is designed to reconnect commercial media teams with their content through three core functions:

Receive: BOLT provides an intelligent upload function that ensures content is received with the metadata your business needs. Rather than waiting for content to arrive and then adding metadata to it, with BOLT the content request is delivered along with set parameters and metadata requirements so it’s immediately searchable and can be set to trigger workflows on arrival.  So, your media hits the ground running.

Review: BOLT puts your entire content library at your team’s fingertips – regardless of their technical capabilities. The portal’s stunningly simple operation and focussed functionality means sales teams can search and view content from any web browser without having to request access or learn how to use advanced toolsets.

Share: BOLT provides a simple system for content owners to showcase and monetise their content catalogue. Now, sharing content with potential customers is as easy as adding items to a shopping cart and secure links to viewing copies are automatically created and delivered to your prospects.

BOLT will be shown working as both a standalone product and in conjunction with BLAM on the Blue Lucy stand at IBC 2024.

The Blue Lucy team will also demonstrate the power of BLAM’s extensive integration capabilities at the show and introduce visitors to its new AI assistant “Lucia.”

BLAM’s unique approach to integrations: With nearly 500 existing connectors and an almost limitless ability to quickly add new integrations due to the platform’s microservice architecture, BLAM allows media teams to connect disparate systems in their media supply chain. IBC 2024 attendees can expect to see demonstrations of BLAM’s integration with products including Adobe Premiere Pro, Amazon S3, Monday.com and Rascular on stand 6.C29a. The team will also highlight the company’s open-access approach to integration that sees their customers maintain control of the commercial relationship with each vendor to maximise business value.

Meet BLAM’s multitasking AI assistant: Visitors to Blue Lucy’s stand will be the first to meet Lucia, BLAM’s new AI assistant. Lucia takes the grunt work out of media management and workflow orchestration in BLAM and is especially useful when multi-step, bulk actions need to be performed. For example: users can type (or even dictate) instructions in plain English to set up complex workflows like automatically generating placeholders, removing bars and tone and creating a folder for a batch of incoming content.

Julian Wright, CEO of Blue Lucy said, “Blue Lucy is known for helping media companies manage their media, orchestrate workflows and integrate technologies. At IBC 2024 we’re expanding the reach of these benefits by putting content in the hands of commercial teams and leveraging integrations and AI to make media supply chains even more efficient. We’re looking forward to showing IBC visitors what our products can do!”

Bridge Technologies – Stand 1.A71

In anticipation of the upcoming IBC2024 Show, Bridge Technologies has announced the release of the VB258, an upgrade module for their existing VB120 and VB220 monitoring probe lines, both of which constitute cost-effective and powerful monitoring solutions that accommodate a range of network standards, including IP unicasts and multicasts, OTT/ABR streams, and a whole range of RF formats, as well as SRT and ASI. The new VB258 addition will allow monitoring of up to four independent RF inputs, supporting DVB-T/T2, ATSC1.0/ATSC 3.0, DVB-C, QAM-B and ISDB-T formats. This makes it ideal for networks that incorporate terrestrial or cable delivery elements.

The addition of these standards to the VB120 and VB220’s existing monitoring capabilities represents Bridge Technologies’ commitment to increasing the range, flexibility, functionality, versatility and capacity of their core monitoring solutions, providing for broadcasters who maintain complex, hybrid and evolving networks. The addition of ISDB-T format monitoring ensures that these capabilities are also extended to those in the Japanese and South American markets.

Whilst each individual VB258 maintains capacity for four independent inputs (one of which is activated by default, and the other three by license key), the monitoring capacity can be doubled by placing two VB258 modules within a single chassis. Furthermore, each input is further capable of round-robin operation to allow for monitoring of a full frequency raster, as typically found in DVB-C/QAM-B cable networks.

In terms of functionality, the VB258 complements the VB120 and VB220, offering key monitoring features such as TR 101 290 analysis, IP multicast monitoring, HLS/M-DASH monitoring, TS recording, RF analysis and SRT relay operations. SRT (Secure Reliability Transport) is of particular interest, because it allows for received RF streams to be converted into an IP/UDP stream, which is then made available via the SRT standard. This framework makes it possible to gain central access to streams that would otherwise be hard to access, thus giving engineers greater insight, diagnostic capability and control over their network.

In relation to ATSC 3.0-based terrestrial systems, the VB258 facilitates monitoring of RF parameters such as MER, constellation diagram and Channel Impulse diagram. As with all of Bridge Technologies’ probes, the probe delivers data as usable information, providing clear, intuitive and at-a-glance metrics that can inform in-the-moment decision making, along with longer term, strategic planning, both in terms of network engineering and business development.

Crucially, the speed of the VB258 has also been enhanced, and is now capable of providing updates to the controller card (either a VB120 or VB220) every second, thus providing for increased accuracy. The firmware of the module has also been made field upgradable, thus futureproofing it to accommodate subsequent probe developments.

Speaking of this most recent addition, Chairman Simen K. Frostad said: “Whilst our role as IP evangelists has been what has defined us within the broadcast space, we recognise that not all broadcasters are ready or able to make a full transition to IP architectures. And we believe wholeheartedly that effective monitoring should constitute the backbone of any network delivery solution, especially those who are taking legacy components and beginning to hybridise them with IP-based standards.We will be looking forward to demonstrating this entire range of Bridge monitoring solutions at IBC2024, with a particular focus on the way that our full range of monitoring probes can be combined to meet the unique needs of individual customer systems architectures, all accessible through a single, intuitive interface”.

######
