Villrich Broadcast, will be at this year's IBC Show in Hall 12 Stand A22, were we will demonstrate several solutions that can be combined with a PTZ workflow. One of the systems that will be displayed is that of Canon and Seervision. This set up exists out of a Canon CR-N500 PTZ and the Seervision Suite. The Seervision Suite integrates directly with a wide variety of Pan/Tilt Heads and PTZ cameras, and their API allows you to keep using all your existing systems while continuing the workflow of your video production.

GBLabs today announcesthat sports production specialist, Aurora Media Worldwide, has built live production workflows for three flagship motorsport events around its storage solution. Aurora deployed GB Labs FastNAS platform for the 2021 Goodwood Festival of Speed and is using the system for the inaugural Extreme E season which kicked off in April 2021. In addition, the GB Labs SPACE intelligent storage has been central to the production workflow for the 2020/2021 season Formula E. These projects see the continuation of a long-established partnership between Aurora, ccktech and GB Labs.

Seervision,  founded in 2016, has its roots in multi-camera control research at the Automatic Control Laboratory of ETH Zurich. Pulling together their expertise in real-time optimization, computer vision and predictive motion models, they ventured out to create a camera system that can film a moving object while mimicking the movements of a professional camera operator. A first demo of our prototype in a lecture recording setting delivered on the promise: the viewers could not distinguish if the camera movements were controlled by an algorithm or an experienced camera operator. Seervision was born!

Indiana’s Jeffersonville High School is in a league of its own when it comes to broadcast production for WJHI Radio and TV, rivaling even collegiate-level programs offered by universities around the US. Over the last five years the school has worked up to its elite status, constructing a production studio from the ground up, a new football stadium complete with a press box and broadcast booth, as well as the most recent addition of a sprinter van.  The goal of these extensive upgrades is to provide students access to industry-standard technology in preparation for careers in broadcast post-graduation, and Clear-Com®’s Encore® Analog Partyline with IFB was included in this goal from the outset.

MBC was looking for a way to ingest live feeds of the 2019 Indian Ocean Island Games (IOIG) in Mauritius and approached Jasco to recommend and install a solution that could record material live from up to eight HD-SDI feeds. With MBC being a user of Avid products for over 10 years, including Avid NEXIS network storage and Avid Media Composer, the recording solution needed to integrate easily into their Avid-centric workflow.

Having integrated Bluefish444 products in the past, Jasco suggested MBC install Bluefish’s IngeSTore Server for their requirements.

“The Bluefish IngeSTore Server is an amazing piece of technology, so it was a simple choice to make when we had to propose an ingest solution,” said Jonathan Smith, Technical Manager of Jasco. “The ease when installing and integrating the server into existing infrastructure, and robust recording ability is what made all the difference. When you have no file corruption and no dropped frames on recordings, and no ingest fail during the whole IOIG event, the product speaks for itself. Definitely not the last Bluefish IngeSTore Server we will be installing.”
