At the 2012 NAB Show, Fast Forward Video (FFV) will unveil sideKick HD, a multiformat, straight-to-edit, camera-mountable DVR.

Designed to ease production workflows and satisfy the demands of both producers and post-production editors, the sideKick HD enables users to get the most out of their camcorders without compromising on quality.

The new sideKick HD offers high-quality image recording in a camera-mountable solution. While most camcorders are capable of delivering a data stream of 30Mb/s at 50:1 compression, the sideKick HD is able to record at 220Mb/s at 7:1 compression. more

At the 2012 NAB Show, NVerzion will introduce Component Level Automation System Solutions (CLASS), a flexible, scalable automation solution that integrates a broadcaster’s existing hardware and software systems into one platform.

Rather than replace existing equipment, CLASS uses software systems and controls to integrate a broadcaster’s legacy hardware and software systems into a unified platform. Well-suited for stations with four or more channels, the solution can be scaled up easily to accommodate hundreds of channels. more

At the 2012 NAB Show, Sencore will debut its MRD 5800 receiver/decoder, which supports high-quality contribution video feeds and provides full H.264, 4:2:2 and 10-bit decoding.

In addition, support for up to eight audio PIDs gives operators the flexibility to tackle all of their multi-language, multichannel and multiformat delivery challenges. The MRD 5800 will also decode and output full HD 1080p60 video, ensuring compatibility with popular video formats in use today and the future. more

At the 2012 NAB Show, NETIA will launch a new version of its Content Management System (CMS) that allows users to manage all processes within the global production environment — from editing through post and distribution.

The DVM-2443 MPEG video monitor incorporates four 4.3in 16:9 aspect ratio LED backlit displays for flexible at-a-glance monitoring of program content from MPEG-2/4 ASI streams, as well as PID table metadata, waveform and vectorscope overlays and audio-level meters. The new monitor also accepts two 3G/HD/SD-SDI loop-through inputs, as well as composite video, component video, DVI-I and analog audio stereo inputs. more

At the 2012 NAB Show, Front Porch Digital will feature LYNX, an integrated, cloud-based environment for managing assets on a global scale from any device and any location.

LYNX applications are tightly integrated with the company’s DIVA technology. They are designed to fit the needs of media organizations facing not only the traditional pressures involved in managing mission-critical assets securely and with flexibility, but also the many additional challenges of successful operation in today’s industry. more

At the 2012 NAB Show, Cobalt Digital will show its LMNTS multichannel loudness processing over IP solution. Ideal for MVPDs and MSOs where a large number of diverse programming sources must be simultaneously controlled, LMNTS performs automatic loudness processing across many transport streams.

Features include ASI and IP inputs, audio packet demux, audio decode, loudness management, audio re-encode, and audio packet remux. The system can operate with diverse audio codecs, extracting the packets from program streams, performing AEROMAX loudness management in the PCM domain, and then re-encoding and re-packeting the audio with its stream. All data connection to LMNTS is via GigE IP interfaces over an industry-standard IT hardware platform, with no intermediary breakouts. more

At the 2012 NAB Show, Triveni Digital will introduce the new StreamScope MT-40 4.7 with mobile DTV analysis capabilities.

This release of the company’s real-time DTV transport stream analysis and verification solution gives users the ability to monitor multiple terrestrial and mobile transport streams in real time from any location across the network using a single integrated product.

Because the StreamScope MT-40 4.7 provides the same level of analysis for mobile transport streams as it does for terrestrial DTV, broadcasters cannot only view EPG and ESG data sets and program guides, but also verify ATSC, MPEG, A-78, SCTE, DVB-SI, ISDB and ATSC M/H standards and protocols.

The software enables users to monitor mobile video frame timing and structure, parade and ensemble usage, required SCC tables, ESG data and more from one GUI. Ongoing MT-40 software updates from Triveni Digital ensure that users remain equipped to work with the latest DTV technologies.

The OperatorCDN’s wholesale feature offers operators a way to control the quality of content and increase revenue by managing their own content delivery network (CDN) rather than working with a third-party CDN service provider. more

Jünger Audio will unveil two new additions to its *AP family of loudness control processors. These units are specifically designed to help U.S. broadcasters stay within the parameters of the newly enacted CALM Act.

The *AP family incorporates Version II of Jünger Audio’s LEVEL MAGIC adaptive loudness algorithm, which is compliant with all current broadcast audio loudness recommendations including ITU 1770 (versions 1 and 2), ATSC A/85, ARIB TR-B32 and EBU R128. Based on a Multi-Loop dynamic range control principle where slow changes (AGC), fast changes (transient processing) and Look Ahead peak limiting are handled simultaneously, LEVEL MAGIC offers level management with high audio quality and without coloration, pumping, breathing, distortion or modulation effects. more
