Until recently, a viewer had
to use a personal computer or laptop to watch online services such as catch-up
TV or movies on demand. Now, with Connected TV, it is possible to access
content from the comfort of your sofa and watch your favourite shows on television.
The last few years have seen
an increase in media industry activities around Connected TV due to its growing
demand among audiences. Content owners, broadcasters and technology providers
are working together to find business models that will make Connected TV
commercially viable and change the way we consume radio and television content.
The ABU Digital Broadcasting
Symposium 2016 aims to stimulate thinking among delegates on the business and
technology strategies that will safeguard and grow radio and television
services in the highly competitive connected era and discuss the roadmap for
providing effective integrated services to audiences.
The three-day event will
address the multiplatform delivery of radio and TV in the future, the
software defined platforms, networks and services, the transformation in the
broadcasting field, the immersive audio and television experiences, the
emergence of OTT as a pay and FTA service and on how should the broadcasters
embrace the ‘digital-first’ mind-set of younger audiences.
Ideal Systems will be
exhibiting a double booth (#49 & 50)
at ABU DBS 2016 at Hotel Istana, Kuala Lumpur.

Overview of
Ideal Systems Exhibition
ABU DBS 2016 will see Ideal Systems showcase
their new live video acquisition equipment rental service launched late 2015,
Ideal-Live, a one-stop service enabling live video capture and real-time
transmission for travelling crew members within the Asia Pacific region. The
service removes the logistical complications and reduces the risk and cost
associated with live video capture across regions within Asia Pacific. Be it
major sporting events or live breaking news, Ideal Live is positioned to
streamline and support video professionals all at a moment’s notice offering
“ready-to-go” solutions for their live video capturing needs. Canadian
manufacturer, Dejero, will be joining Ideal to discuss their suite of
award-winning products including the Live+ Platform and bonded cellular
technology in use within the Ideal Live rental service.
Ideal will feature iBroadcast, a flexible,
comprehensive, scalable, end-to-end, multi-vendor Network Management System
(NMS) that is capable of monitoring and controlling your entire broadcast
platform. iBroadcast offers real-time control of your entire broadcast
operation and is deployed in many of the world’s leading broadcasters as their
primary hypervision system. With instant notification system alerts and
powerful root cause analysis, iBroadcast will provide valuable insights into
issues that may affect uptime and quality of service to customers.
Phabrix returns to ABU DBS with the official
debut of their award-winning Qx for 4K/8K UHDTV in Asia Pacific. The Qx has
already made headway in Europe and the US winning several “Best of Show” and
“Game Changer” awards at both NAB and IBC and features the very latest in FPGA
technology. Along with real-time eye display and a new intuitive user
interface, the key differentiator is its ability to provide generation and
analysis tools on signals with up to 48Gbps payloads offering video and
audio support.
Additionally, digital workflow experts,
Emotion Systems, will join Ideal’s booth to showcase their suite of audio tools
for broadcast. Emotion provides scalable and automated file-based signal
processing solutions to meet global compliance standards. The Emotion toolset
is integrated into many of the world’s leading broadcast facilities and can
adapt to changing requirements whilst running at speeds faster than real-time
ensuring maximum operational efficiency.
Ideal-Live
will make its debut at ABU DBS 2016. Before the
Ideal Live service, crews travelling to and within the region had to pack their
mobile transmitters, lose precious carry-on space to cables and extra
batteries, and hope everything would get through customs. Then they would deal
with multiple local cellular providers to get SIM cards. And then they'd have
to install, activate, and test the cards before they could go live.
Ideal-Live rental enables live video
acquisition solutions for travelling crewmembers within the Asia Pacific region
removing the logistical complications of setting up each time. Canadian
manufacturer, Dejero, will be joining Ideal to discuss their suite of
award-winning products including the Live+ Platform and bonded cellular
technology in use within the Ideal Live rental service. The LIVE+ platform
intelligently enables users to Capture, Transmit, Manage and Distribute live
video feeds in real time with reliability and resiliency.
The Ideal Live service offers compact and
modular LIVE+ EnGo or ruggedized GoBox transmitters, with 6 SIM cards from
multiple local mobile operators. The ability to bond up to eight network connections
(including Wi-Fi and portable satellite) and select the desired latency ensures
that you’ll get the reliable, broadcast-quality HD video that you’ve come to
expect from Dejero.
To make life even easier, rentals include
the use of LIVE+ Broadcast Servers or Cloud Servers, and the ability to
configure and manage everything through the web using LIVE+ Control. With a few
clicks, you can see exactly where your transmitters and crews are located,
monitor performance, and remotely control the transmitters.

For
the first time in Asia, the new Qx UHDTV 4K/8K makes its debut with Ideal
Systems. Designed as a complete solution for
testing the new UHDTV formats, the PHABRIX Qx features the very latest
technology in a new ‘future-proof’ platform targeted at broadcasters and
manufacturers looking for a comprehensive test and measurement solution. The
key differentiator of this new instrument is its ability to provide simultaneous
generation and analysis tools on signals with up to 48Gbps payloads offering
both video and audio instrumentation.
Incorporating PHABRIX ‘real-time eye’
technology RTETM the 12G-SDI capable physical layer analysis tool-set enables
comprehensive testing of both UHDTV1/4K and UHDTV2/8K infrastructures.
Importantly the PHABRIX Qx can present automatic measurements for both
overshoot and undershoot along with eye height, rise time and fall time -
compulsory when verifying SMPTE compliance and a key differentiator with Qx
technology. With an analogue front end bandwidth in excess of 30 GHz, the Qx is
perfect for 12G-SDI eye and jitter testing.
The PHABRIX Qx supports both generation and
analysis of UHDTV signals simultaneously - a must have for closed loop testing
and a standard feature on the Qx. The low noise floor of the Qx generator sets
a benchmark standard for quality testing of the new standards.
