AVIWEST Simplifies Live Video Contribution At IBC

AVIWEST, a provider of live video contribution solutions, will launch its new products and demonstrate the latest enhancements to its live video contribution and distribution systems at IBC 2021 in Amsterdam, Dec. 3-6. AVIWEST’s advanced video contribution platform enables broadcasters to capture and deliver live 4K, multi-HD, HD, and SD video over multiple unmanaged IP networks, including bonded 5G/4G cellular, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and satellite links.

Among the showcased products are:

PRO460 On-the-Move 4K UHD Bonded 5G Cellular Transmitters — Designed for remote and at-home video production, the PRO460 supports 4K UHD and multicamera workflows for up to four high-resolution, fully frame-synced feeds, delivering outstanding-quality video and high performance.

The PRO460 offers a high-definition video return (up to 1080p50/60) and is available for confidence monitoring or teleprompting. The solution also supports full-duplex intercoms to optimize communication between field crews and studio operators, and innovative data bridging for remote camera control, tally light management, or control of any IP connected device during a live event.

Housing six globally compliant 5G modems and incorporating patented, high-efficiency custom antennas to ensure high-speed transmission, the PRO460 provides robust, error-free transmission over any network (i.e., cellular, satellite, IP leased line, or the public internet), ensuring low end-to-end latency, down to 0.5 seconds, thanks to AVIWEST’s two-time Emmy Award-winning SST (Safe Stream Transport) technology.

All-New RACK400 Premium 4K UHD and Multi-HD Encoder — Designed in compact half 1U form factor, the RACK400 supports 4K UHD and multicamera workflows, with up to four high-resolution, fully frame-synced feeds.

The RACK400 provides robust, error-free transmission over any network (cellular, satellite, IP leased line or the public internet) at low latency, down to 0.5 seconds, thanks to AVIWEST’s double Emmy® Award-winning SST technology.

As a remote production encoding solution, the RACK400 offers all of the features needed to ensure maximum efficiency from a central facility. The encoder enables perfect video sync between multiple cameras for seamless camera switching in the studio, video return to the field for confidence monitoring, full duplex intercom between field crews and studio operators, and data bridging for remote control of cameras, tally light, or any other IP device during a live event.

Ultimate Live Video Calls Solution — This allows professional broadcasters to enrich their content coverage with live remote interviews in an easy and reliable way.

Broadcasters will be able to create engaging and innovative content, which is key to keeping audiences engaged. This new AVIWEST solution will enable broadcasters to quickly and easily invite guests to join a video call that can be fully integrated into their live production system, making conducting live remote interviews simpler than ever.

More details about this new solution will be announced later this month.
