PROGRAM:

Advances in Wireless VideoThe technical director of A&E’s live reality show “Live PD”

VidOvation Live PD Control Room

faced several technical issues.  One major challenge was how to cost-effectively produce a lie cop show in six cities simultaneously using up to 41 cameras.  The show is a REMI (Remote Integration Model) production, where every camera is home run from each police vehicle to A&E master control in New York.  All cameras must be in perfect genlock synchronization and have perfect audio and video lip-sync because there is no time in a live broadcast to correct synchronization issues.

In this presentation, we’ll dive into details behind the HD SDI wireless video transmission solution from VidOvation and Haivision that solved this unique technical challenge.  Learn about Haivision’s SafeStreams technology, with advanced forward error correction, that automatically re-requests dropped packets and uses bonding techniques, precise timing, and adaptive bitrate encoding over bonded cellular and the public internet.

Time permitting, we will also discuss new developments in wireless technology that

Fiber Optic Extender for AB512 Wireless Video System

facilitate broadcast-quality transmission up to 3 kilometers with only 7 milliseconds of latency.  A unique combination of adaptive modulation and a highly adaptive H.264 codec enable reduced latency and increased picture quality in wireless video transmission.
