Equipping for the 3D Revolution in Content Production

The 2010 Australian Broadcast Exhibition, to be held August 3-5 at the Manly Pacific Hotel in Sydney, will offer attendees a hands-on look at many of the latest 3D and high-definition production and distribution products from Grass Valley™. Grass Valley representatives will also be delivering a number of highly focused technical papers as part of the bi-annual show’s agenda, which has become the region’s pre-eminent television broadcast technology exhibition and conference in association with Free TV Australia.

Attendees to the Grass Valley exhibit (Booth #5) will see working presentations of the various products and systems and how they all work together to facilitate a seamless workflow that can be used to produce content faster and distribute it more efficiently. Show attendees will also see several 3D workflows in abstract and learn how Grass Valley is helping producers create compelling 3D content for many of today’s major entertainment and sporting events.

On the exhibit stand will be working models of the LDK 8300 Super SloMo HD camera system, Kayenne™ Video Production Center, the growing family of K2 systems, including the K2 Dyno™ replay controller, K2 Dyno Production Assistant (PA)™, and K2 Summit™ and K2 Solo™ servers. Additionally, a compression demonstration featuring Grass Valley’s Mustang signal processing chip that will show how far Grass Valley’s R&D has come in delivering new levels of quality in a very small amount of bandwidth.

Among the tools on display, the Grass Valley K2 Dyno HD replay system is composed of Grass Valley's next-generation K2 Dyno controller coupled with the K2 Summit™ production client. The system is designed to help production professionals capture live events in crystal-clear HD resolutions and instantly play them out at variable speeds for critical analysis during fast-paced events. It is ideally suited for HD mobile production trucks and shared storage production facilities.
