xG® Technology, Inc. (“xG”) (Nasdaq: XGTI, XGTIW), whose brands are recognized as the global leaders in live video communications in the broadcast, military and government markets, announces today that IMT Vislink will be demonstrating an innovative enhancement to its HCAM and UltraReceiver wireless camera solution to provide single-frame end-to-end latency for 4K UHD transmissions at IBC 2018 (Stand 1.A69).

Vislink Technologies’ new low-latency HCAM 4K UHD transmitter and UltraReceiver (ULRX-LD) wireless camera solution offers single-frame end-to-end capabilities for broadcast sports and major entertainment event coverage applications. When used collaboratively, Vislink’s award-winning HCAM+ULRX solution provides less than one frame of latency when working with 4K content, making it the lowest latency, highest quality system on the market.

Vislink Technologies (Nasdaq:VISL) introduces its INCAM-HS integrated wireless camera transmitter, which is built into Sony’s new HDC-5500 4K multi-format live camera system. Vislink Technologies’ INCAM-HS provides full HEVC 4K UHD broadcast-quality encoding as well as 1080p, 1080i and 720p resolutions, plus built-in wireless camera control and HDR support. This solution is on display at the 2019 NAB Show (Vislink Booth C6008, Sony Electronics Booth C11001).

Snell Advanced Media (SAM) today announced that it has partnered with Los Angeles-based startup, Vista Studios, a Broadcast & Production facility located in the Westside Tech Hotspot, Playa Vista/Silicon Beach. The company has selected SAM’s technology for its 4K, state-of-the-art production studio. Vista Studios is a turnkey broadcast facility with four production stages, four production control rooms and a technology core that offers conversion services, routing, camera records, editing, business office space as well as playout origination. 

Visual Impact has ordered six of the modular 4K cameras, with four sold to leading rental company 24-7 Drama and the remaining two available for immediate supply. “This is a great 4K camera from Panasonic and offers our customers a true alternative to the current large sensor cameras we stock,“ said Tim Sparrock Director of Visual Impact.

At IBC 2012 (Hall 3 Stand B60), leading broadcast and multiscreen systems integration company Visual Unity will launch 4K Gateway, a portable device for real-time low-latency video streaming up to 3D 4K.

This weekend a worldwide premiere will arrive at screens: the first test of binocular vision in cinemas. The initiative stars Victor, the first three-dimensional optician/optometrist in history, which forms part of Viu en 3-D!, promoted by the Optician and Optometrist Association of Catalonia (COOOC), TV3 Televisió de Catalunya and the Association of Cinema Companies of Catalonia, with the approval of the School of Optometry of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia.

While virtual sets offer limitless creative options for live 2D/3D sets, the calibration and alignment of multiple cameras with the synthetic set can be a prohibitively complex and time-consuming process. But with its industry-leading Viz Virtual Studio, Vizrt took the complexity out of setting up 2D/3D interactive virtual sets by providing an intuitive user interface and compatibility with most major camera-tracking solutions.

Vizrt Ltd., a leading provider of content production tools for the digital media industry, today announced that it has formalized its strategic collaboration with Stergen Hi-Tech Ltd., as published at IBC 2010. Stergen is a developer of 2D to stereoscopic 3D video conversion software. Vizrt now offers tight integration between Stergen stereo 3D conversion software tailored to sports TV networks, sports leagues and webcasters and its own stereo 3D graphics portfolio.

Vizrt, the leading provider of production tools for the digital media industry, today announced it has teamed up with Matrox and NVIDIA to build the latest in 4K production workflows. At NABShow2015 (booth SL2417) Vizrt will demonstrate how the integration of its products can provide broadcasters with an end-to-end Ultra-HD operation.

Vizrt will introduce Viz Engine/Artist 3.3 at its booth: Hall 2, Stand B10. As a leading provider of content production tools for the digital media industry, Vizrt is committed to expanding its systems’ functionality and cost-effective workflow to maximize its customers’ creativity and investment.

On March 14th TopVision, the Berlin-based OB-Van production company, presented the first live 3D HD Bundesliga football match in Germany. Nine 3D camera rigs (18 cameras in total) provided the video and Vizrt’s software generated the graphics. The Viz Trio character generator and the dual-channel Viz Engine created and synchronized graphics for the left and right eyes, creating the 3D effect.

If you are planning to attend NAB 2010 with stereoscopic 3DTV in your sights, then Vizrt’s booth is the place to be. Not only will there be powerful, proven stereo 3D technology on display, visitors will also get a glimpse of real-time, stereoscopic 3D HD imagery. This stunning, novel stereo 3DTV experience will take place in Vizrt’s booth SL5408 at the 2010 National Association of Broadcasters show from April 10-15, 2010 in Las Vegas, NV.

While stereoscopic 3D was very intriguing to broadcasters at last year’s NAB, this year, it’s taken hold with the launch of many new 3DTV networks as well as sports and news telecasts produced in stereo 3D. With millions of 3DTV sets selling annually worldwide, 3DTV is an unmistakable trend for broadcasters. At the upcoming 2011 NAB show, Vizrt will offer a state-of-the-art stereo 3D presentation at its booth (#SL5408) during the convention to be held from April 11-14 in Las Vegas, Nev.

In the same way that sports was the “killer app” that fueled early interest in HDTV, many sports networks such as ESPN 3D and Sky 3D are betting that live sports will drive the fledgling 3DTV medium. With many sports aficionados among the early adopters of 3DTV, broadcasters are hustling to produce as much live 3DTV sports as possible, and they need stereo 3D production tools that make the job faster, easier, and more cost-effective.
