Exclusive Interviews

Amimon is excited to exhibit at IBC again this year. It is a perfect venue to showcase our latest innovative technology for the professional video production and broadcast markets. The highlight of the Amimon booth will be CONNEX, our revolutionary zero-latency full HD wireless video link specifically designed for use on aerial drones. CONNEX has been recently enhanced with significant software updates that greatly expand compatibility and also strengthen the fail-safe functions. For example, CONNEX now supports PPM gimbals and remotes, offers additional flight controller telemetry, and has improved co-existence with other radio transmitters. CONNEX will also be featured in live demos at the Yes Fly Zone, as well as those in the drone flying cage at our booth #11.C75.

Storage solutions form the backbone of projects in video centric environments, so no matter whether you are from one of the world’s largest media corporations or a small post production house, it’s incredibly important you are using storage solutions you can rely on.  Using the right storage solution in your workflow will not only backup and preserve your work, but it can save time and help increase efficiency. IBC is great because it brings all the companies from the media and entertainment industry together so visitors can not only get a look at the latest storage solutions, but they can join hands-on demos that show how these solutions work together seamlessly with the top software and hardware in the industry.

This year is very exciting for Quantum and our users. We will show a complete workflow-optimized storage solution, based our StorNext 5 intelligent collaboration platform, that is designed to enhance the efficiency of every stage of a production workflow from ingest to archive. With higher-resolution workflows and OTT demands growing, most facilities cannot afford to make IT-centric generic storage “fit” their media creation needs. We have a better way and will be demonstrating it at IBC2015. We will also show Artico, a new class of archive product that brings sought-after StorNext 5 archive capabilities to non-StorNext and production NAS workflows. Artico enables seamless archive to Quantum’s Q-Cloud public cloud service, Quantum Lattus object storage, and Scalar LTO tape libraries. Artico is fully compatible with the extensive StorNext partner ecosystem and integrates with all popular MAM, PAM and production automation systems to make archive simple and cost-effective. Last, but certainly not least, we will have StorNext Pro Solutions in our booth. Since their introduction last year, StorNext Pro Solutions have provided an easy way for facilities to realize a complete storage workflow, regardless of business size or workload. For companies from small post houses to large broadcaster facilities working with high-resolution workflows, StorNext Pro Solutions have become the go-to collaborative workflow solution.

Teradek will be featuring the latest in wireless HD video transmission solutions at IBC 2015. In addition to the highly anticipated VidiU Pro, the most recent addition to Teradek’s line-up of simplified streaming appliances, there will be special announcements at the show.

It is important to us to get as much feedback as possible from other production entities in the world - beyond just our core U.S. customers. There are valuable production concepts and workflows that have evolved over the years that are subtly different than those here in the U.S. We always strive to build our tools from the bottom up, based on the way people actually use new technology. We are showcasing the latest updates to our MAM system, notably our newest Location intelligence feature. Location Intelligence is a first of its kind feature that enables a user to determine at a glance whether the content required is available immediately or needs to be transferred. This ensures the most efficient use of bandwidth and storage resources.

We have two new exciting products at IBC this year, the Cineline 2090 system, which consists of the new 2110 Heavy duty flatbase tripod and 2130 heavy duty ground spreader to pair with our Cineline 70 fluid head. The second new product is the Compass 23 fluid head. This new head is a streamlined product at an affordable price, designed for users who require the stability and reliability that a 100 mm ball levelling system delivers. This new head will be offered with four tripod variations in four systems or can be purchased separately.

Timecode Systems will launch their B:LINK network that augments their wirelessly shared timecode system. The proprietary B:LINK RF network keeps the same incredibly accurate wireless sync over the robust sub GHz ISM bands, but adds enhanced two-way multiplexed status/control and metadata. This allows for complete monitoring and control of all connected “B:LINK-enabled” Timecode Systems’ devices and is built to allow for long-range remote control and status of any connected third-party accessories.

On the Video Devices side, we are showcasing the PIX-E line of recording monitors. We started shipping the PIX-E5 in July and it has been a big hit. As well as being a phenomenal 5-inch full 1080p monitor, it also records using the ProRes codec. The highly anticipated PIX-E7 and PIX-LR audio interface will also be shown, along with our latest firmware upgrades, which add significant features. On the Sound Devices side, we are showcasing our complete line of 6-Series mixer/recorders, including the 688 12-track portable mixer/recorder with the new SL-6 powering and wireless system.

At booth 7.H20 Blackmagic Design will be showcasing a complete range of products for broadcast, post production and live events, including the newly announced Blackmagic URSA Mini, Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera, Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K, ATEM 2 M/E Broadcast Studio 4K, DeckLink 4K Pro, DaVinci Resolve 12, Fusion 8 and more. The Blackmagic Design team will be available to answer questions, give technical advice and provide ‘hands on’ product demonstrations of 12G-SDI, high frame rate and Ultra HD products and workflows.

Oh, the answer(s) is simple. To meet people that just might change your life. To meet people who are smarter than you and can help you solve your problems. To meet people who just might inspire you. And to just plain meet people, to get out and be yourself and socialize. Our Amsterdam SuperMeet will be jam packed with some of the brightest minds in the industry. SuperMeets are first and foremost networking events. In just one night you will not only get a chance to meet and greet new people, but learn something as well — all for the price of a ticket and the will to get out of the house.
