Snell Advanced Media, will be hauling one of its key projects inside for this year's IBC in Amsterdam. A large 32 camera 4K Outside Broadcast production truck is exhibited and demonstrated inside at its stand, or Hall 9 at the Rai Convention center in Amsterdam for the IBC 2017 show September 15-19.
Completed last year hall nine is one of the extensions to the Rai that has been reconstructing and expanding for years. We haven't seen such large OB truck inside since there was room following the 9/11 attacks. SAM occupies more or less the complete hall, just like Sony occupies a similar corridor Hall, Hall 13.
"We're really excited to have Timeline's award winning UHD2 truck on our stand at IBC as it's a tremendous showcase for our technology and testament to our close partnership with Timeline in delivering true market innovation. The truck offers a great opportunity for visitors to IBC to experience how IP is being used today in a real life scenario", said Robert Szabó-Rowe, EVP and General Manager, Live Production and Infrastructure, SAM.
According to SAM Timeline Television's UHD2 is "the first IP 4K HDR truck in Europe". The truck, seamlessly handles fully uncompressed 4K/UHD, IP and HDR. A state-of-the-art, triple expanding OB truck, UHD2 is home to a range of SAM technology including two Kahuna IP production switchers, IP Multiviewers and with SAM's IP infrastructure technology providing the backbone. Also in the truck for IBC, SAM's LiveTouch 4K/UHD replay and highlights system will be used for demonstrations.
Timeline's UHD2 is designed to support 32 Sony 4K cameras. Its two Kahunas enable SDR and HDR to be run simultaneously along with down converted HD outputs, as IP technology removes traditional SDI matrix limits. Using a 100G switch the set-up allows production teams to work in VSF TR03 (SMPTE ST 2110 draft) – the first time this has been done in an OB truck – enabling Timeline to work with video and audio as separate essence flows within an IP workflow.
"We worked closely with SAM to design a workflow based on the latest IP infrastructure and HDR technology available, providing customers with a highly scalable solution that can meet complex production requirements without the need to add additional OB support. Given the increased number of 4K cameras and replay positions that we wanted to support, IP made perfect sense and SAM's technology even more so as it afforded us the maximum flexibility and scalability", Daniel McDonnell, Managing Director at Timeline Television explained his choice for the SAM IP equipment.
IP based production infrasture, replacing or complementing traditional dedicated SDI distribution with all its coaxial cable, is one of the key topics at IBC, so the IP showcase where over 50 vendors work together to show 'IP is no longer a “future”, it is here and now'. A visit to the IP Showcase at IBC2017 is said to confirm that real-time IP for production, playout and contribution is a practical, flexible, efficient reality that is rapidly taking hold in mainstream broadcast operations. Daniel McDonnell, Managing Director at Timeline Television will be presenting a detailed, but brief case study on his UHD2 truck in the IBC IP Showcase theatre, Room E106/107 on September 15 from 14:50 to 15:10.
