Going end-to-end with IPTV OUTLINED
ATX
By Anne Morris Four new product lines form part of the ATX presentation at IBC this week, including end-to-end IPTV solutions, encoding with reliable video delivery over the internet, licence-free transcoding, and an IP to PAL mini headend. VidiPlay middleware is a part of ATX’s end-to-end IPTV solution. The system can include IP set-back boxes and smart
TV clients to deliver IP video to large-format displays (TVs) as well as clients for PCs, tablets and mobile devices.VidiPlay also manages client authentication and access control, provides client UI customisation and supports advanced features such as an interactive programme guide, VoD, nPVR, digital signage and more. ATX claimed the DigiVu II multi-channel encoders are ideal for encoding locally generated content and studio feeds, as
well as for transporting video feeds between locations. These encoders provide best-in-class video quality at an affordable price and are simple to configure and use. Video inputs include HD/SD-SDI, CVBS, HDMI and Component. Outputs include MPEG-2/H.264, SD/HD and multiple output profile encoding. They feature optional integrated Zixi Feeder or VideoFlow DVP technologies for reliable video delivery over the internet. ATX said its VersAtivePro licence-free
Unwrapping KRONOS for Ultra HD Bluefish444
The range focuses on reliable video delivery and licence-free transcoding
transcoding platform provides users with the freedom to transcode what they want, when they want and how they want in a cost-effective manner. Finally, the ATX nextgeneration UCrypt IP to PAL (IP2PAL) mini headend is
designed for conversion of IP video streams to PAL in a space-efficient and cost-effective manner. This device can ingest up to 60 MPEG-2/H.264, HD/SD video streams and convert them to PAL. 14.G16
Deseo now shipping DMT
By Carolyn Giardina By Ian McMurray Bluefish444 has introduced its KRONOS range of video, audio, and data processing and I/O cards. The new line extends the feature set of its Epoch video cards, which support up to 4K 60 frame per second workflows. KRONOS is developed for additional use with Ultra HD up to 8K, high frame rates up to 120fps, high dynamic range and video over IP. With these capabilities, Bluefish444 cards are developed to support all areas of TV and feature film production, post, display and restoration, in addition to virtual reality and augmented reality. For use in theme parks, music concerts and outdoor events, the KRONOS range is also recommended for single

and multi-card support for 8K/4K/2K imagery presented across one or more screens or projectors. According to Bluefish444, KRONOS supports video processing technologies including resolution scaling, video interlace and deinterlace; hardware codec support, SDI-to-IP and IP-toSDI conversion, and continues to offer the 12-bit colour space conversion and low-latency
capabilities of Epoch. Tom Lithgow, product manager, Bluefish444, said: “With the choice of HD BNC SD/HD/3G connectivity, or SFP+ connectivity enabling greater than 3G SDI and Video over IP across 10Gbps Ethernet, the KRONOS range will suit today’s demanding requirements and cover emerging technologies as they mature.” 7.J07

The miniature, lightweight, rugged connector is easy to use and should ensure high optical performance (for high precision and data transmission rates), even in harsh environments – it is IP68 rated when mated and IP67 unmated. It is designed for easy mating, thanks to its push-pull locking system. The removable sleeve holder (monobloc mate adapter) also ensures that end faces can be cleaned easily, even in
Claiming to have an innovative response to pay-TV operators struggling to keep up with demand for 4K, DMT is highlighting its Deseo companion device. DMT said Deseo, first announced at IBC2015, can transform a pay-TV HD gateway set-top box into a secure UHD/4K gateway solution. According to DMT, many industry-leading pay-TV operators have state-of-the-art HD gateway set-top boxes that offer advanced capabilities, including time-shift, homesharing, advanced search capabilities and more. However, the company claimed, most of these set-top boxes do not have the HEVC capability that UHD/4K requires. Thus the set-top boxes of today are expected to quickly become obsolete – but developing their next-gen replacements is expensive and time-consuming.

Deseo transforms pay-TV HD gateway STBs into secure UHD/4K gateway solutions
DMT claimed that Deseo can turn these HD set-top boxes into UHD solutions with a simple software change. This would allow pay-TV operators to quickly respond to market changes, while extending the life of their current set-top boxes at a minimal cost, said the South Korean company. Deseo can also support HDR and VP9. Deseo works with pay-TV HD gateway set-top boxes for all applications, including UHD/4K broadcasted and OTT content. It also supports the Verimatrix VideoMark watermarking solution. 5.C26
