The Kahuna, along with its modular switcher interface panel, is housed in OB-11, DB Video’s new mid-sized OB vehicle.
New agreements Many companies have made the most of this IBC to announce to the market agreements and synergies with other companies. Panasonic, for a start, presented a collaborative initiative with Vislink and Videosys to develop the first compatible wireless modules for their range of studio cameras. These modules are designed to allow more remote control of the cameras and transmit video through the HF band by using an external system with simple and direct anchorages on the battery contacts of the camera.

Many companies have made the most of this IBC to announce to the market agreements and synergies with other companies. The news of the agreement reached between Chyron-Hego and Microsoft also reached us during the show. Under the agreement, ChyronHego's TRACAB system will be used as an anchoring technology in Microsoft's Sports Performance Platform system. This cloud-based sports analysis platform provides professional sports teams, leagues and organisations with a solution to help players and teams make better decisions. TRACAB, on the other hand, uses advanced image processing and optical
tracking technologies to determine the position of all moving objects on the playing field, including players, referees and the ball. Videlio, meanwhile, announced the launch of its 4K and IP Academy in collaboration with Cisco and EVS. It will consist of a series of training programmes designed for engineers, broadcasters and media professionals. The goal is to direct organisations from SDI networks towards the next generation IP.
