latency extender or matrix that offers flexible application and ease of use for A / V professionals in all industry sectors , maintaining control whether from one facility or from multiple locations .
The Adder- Link Infinity , on the other hand , is an IP-based KVM solution designed to improve workflows and allow a flexible architecture through its ability to scale in response to user needs . Redundant network operation capabilities offer failover assurance while “ pixel perfect ” technology allows users to work on resolutions beyond HD .
TMD adds new modules to Mediaflex-UMS architecture
Three new components — Media- Packages , MediaMiSR and Media- Lines — have been added to TransMedia Dynamics ’ ( TMD ) Mediaflex-Unified Media Services ( UMS ) architecture .
To enable the creation and delivery of packages to non-linear and over-the-top ( OTT ) platforms , Media Packages can be deployed alongside the OnPoint post-production management solution to facilitate the delivery of non-linear packages directly from post production . The module can also be added to the Paragon + content management solution to provide operators with a complete workflow management for non-linear delivery .
Designed to be integrated with third-party scheduling systems , MediaMiSR allows users to automatically raise workflows based on those schedules , report on missing content while managing cache storage for transmissionready content for playout systems . Operators can also deploy Media- MiSR with Paragon + to drive workflow management from their programme schedules .

Other highlights at booth N6227 include the Mediaflex- UMS Analytics media logistics application . Designed for users to manage their production supply chain from commissioning and ordering to programme delivery , the Mediaflex-UMS Analytics features workflow-data dashboard with “ real-time ” analytics to monitor operational efficiency .
Imagine Communications focuses on ‘ how to ’ phase of technology transition
Imagine Communications is highlighting a range of product and solution innovations aimed at helping broadcasters and other media companies advance to , or accelerate the adoption phase of the modernisation of their production , playout and distribution facilities .
For live production , a number of hybrid SDI / IP routing and multiviewer solutions at booth SL1516 demonstrate how media companies can transform sports , in-venue and other live production operations by leveraging IT equipment , without squandering investments in traditional broadcast technology or sacrificing performance , says Imagine Communications .
Brainstorm ’ s InfinitySet virtual set solution is now equipped with enhanced graphics features , including integration with the company ’ s Aston 3D graphics solution .
Users can now edit , manage and create any kind of 2D / 3D motion graphics and CG from scratch , says Brainstorm . The Trackfree technology and the TeleTransporter feature further allow InfinitySet to interchangeably use real , live or prerecorded footage as the background set for the chroma-keyed talent . This functionality allows a remote talent to become a virtual
Domo Broadcast , the subdivision of Domo Tactical Communications ( DTC ), is welcoming Marylandbased 3G Wireless to share the latter ’ s deployment of Domo ’ s SOLO7 OBTX transmitters and wireless receivers , which were installed on a range of on-board camera systems during the International Motor Sports Association ( IMSA ) Rolex 24 , held at Daytona Beach , Florida , USA , in January this year .
Representatives from 3G Wireless are present at booth C7137 to discuss the design and deployment of their Domo-based systems , as well as the requirements for

Brainstorm is also debuting VideoCave , a mixed reality application using monitors in a real set performing as a “ cave ” multiple window , with virtual elements
sports coverage . Alongside SOLO7 , Domo Broadcast is also exhibiting the Broadcast Nano HD transmitter . Equipped with a control panel as well as Bluetooth connectivity , Domo is confident that the Nano HD transmitter is capable of delivering “ real-time configuration as seamless as possible ” for its operators .
Completing Domo Broadcast ’ s showcase is the PRORXD eightway Diversity radio frequency ( RF ) wireless receiver platform . The multi-way diversity coded orthogonal frequency domain multiplex
supported by advanced dynamic ad insertion ( DAI ) capabilities .
Highlighting the deployment flexibility and versatility of its recent innovations , the company will also be showcasing many of its solutions as cloud services available through Microsoft Azure . Similarly , Zenium , a microservices-based platform for building smarter applications and services for virtualised environments , will also be on display .

Another highlight at booth SL4616 is SmartSet , a templatebased playout solution designed for smaller and local TV stations . It provides advanced virtual set and augmented reality applications , without the need to create the sets themselves .
Brainstorm ’ s template solutions play out content to air , and have been created using pre-defined or purpose-built templates designed on Brainstorm applications . Depending on the complexity , sophistication and flexibility of the template , this in turn dictates how ‘ smart ’ the set can be .
Domo Broadcasting is offering its Broadcast Nano HD transmitter , which features a control panel and
Bluetooth connectivity .
( COFDM ) receiver features less than two frames delay , according to the company , while combining RF inputs to ensure that the video is recovered “ free from distortion ”.
Designed for wide area event coverage , the PRORXD receiver can be connected to other receivers via asynchronous serial interface ( ASI ) packet diversity over coax cable or IP .
Suitcase TV eases requirements for production on-the-fly
To simplify the equipment and manpower required for production on-the-fly , Suitcase TV is presenting its Iphrame Flyaway IPbased production system , which is capable of connecting to a broadcast centre via a standard IP link .
Iphrame is a software-based remote architecture framework which combines IP , ASI and SDI signals while managing all video , audio and graphics on standard IT hardware or virtual machines . Deploying such an IP-based solution , says Suitcase TV , means operators can be stationed remotely while making real-time switching decisions using proxy versions via the cloud , thereby reducing the number of staff required on-site .
Incorporated with the company ’ s Time- Lock functionality , Iphrame Flyaway employs precision time protocol ( PTP ) reference clocks to ensure that all sources and processes are “ accurately ” time-stamped at event site .
During the UEFA Euro 2016 football tournament held in Paris last June , Iphrame enjoyed a successful trial in parallel with the BBC ’ s coverage of the tournament . The Iphrame system provided video and audio switching / mixing of remote sources in Paris controlled by operators located back at the BBC Sport production centre at Media- CityUK in Salford .
