Spanish broadcaster has selected VSN as their partner for a new project aimed at studying the process of news generation with Cloud tools.
VSN’s MAM will manage media in the Cloud.
The aim of the project is to explore capturing content through digital devices (lightweight and cellphone cameras) that are permanently connected. VSNExplorer MAN will manage the generated media and explore the possibilities that these digital flows offer, such as metadata extraction or automatic subtitling.
The VSNExplorer Media Asset Management system has successfully met all the requirements requested by RTVE, which included, for example, the reception of files via pc or ftp, their storage, customised management and distribution in the Cloud, web access to the system, the configuration of different user profiles that could work simultaneously and collaboratively and the sending of content to news production systems or for direct publication in social networks.
Cerberus Tech updates Livelink for remote live delivery
Cerberus Tech has updated its Linelink SaaS live delivery platform to enable users to self-manage live feeds from any location.
Livelink is an IP delivery solution for transporting live linear and OTT content from point to single-point or multi-point. It allows users to self-manage their live content for delivery to any destination worldwide by utilising Cloud environments available in every region. It is Cloud agnostic and compatible with any transport protocol including Zixi, RIST, SRT, HLS and RTMP.
Chris Clarke, CEO, Cerberus, said, “The return to live sports events and the backlog of matches has meant that the existing infrastructure is struggling to keep up with demand and event concurrency. Livelink enables broadcasters and production companies to be the architects of their own environment, delivering feeds extremely cost-effectively and with very quick set-up times. With the situation changing week to week, Livelink offers a pay-as-you-go, adaptive solution that broadcasters can rely on.”

Verizon Media has partnered with 24i, an application management and user experience organisation, to make it easy for broadcasters and other content owners to prepare and deliver VoD and live content via OTT to a broad range of devices.

That solution, Smart OTT, is a turnkey, “cross-screen” video application development platform that provides media companies with the tools to develop a user interface to their liking.
Riedel introduces RSP-1216HL SmartPanel
Riedel has launched the RSP-1216HL SmartPanel, an all-new 1RU model in the company’s 1200 Series of intelligent intercom and control panels for real-time video, audio, data, and communications networks.
The company says the new technology has been driven by user demand, and is a compact version of the app-based RSP-1232HL SmartPanel user interface.
The fully IP-centric RSP-1216HL features a full-colour, high-resolution, sunlight-readable touch screen, as well as a hybrid-lever key design that combines lever- and rotary-style key styles. The new panel support for AES3 and SMPTE 2110-30 (AES67) connections together with GPIO, analogue, or AES67 4-Wire, as well as front and rear USB connectivity. It also offers a single speaker and 16 hybrid-lever keys, compared with the RSP-1232HL’s two speakers and 32 hybrid-lever keys.
“We took a quantum leap forward in workflow flexibility, power, and connectivity when we first introduced the RSP-1232HL SmartPanel at the 2018 NAB Show. Customers were instantly blown away by its multiple full-colour multitouch displays, intuitive operation, and ability to leverage apps for multifunctionality,” said Benjamin Lampert, product manager at Riedel. “In the meantime, our customers have requested a 1RU version — and now it’s here. With the RSP-1216HL, we managed to concentrate all the power of the RSP-1232HL in an even more compact form factor without sacrificing any functionality or user-friendliness.”
