Transcript:

Ashley Blankenship:

We are here at NAB Show, New York. It’s been three years since we connected with product experts, discovered alternative workflows and we’re able to get our hands on recently released products. Maximizing efficiency is the end game and there has never been a better, more intimate environment than right here in the Big Apple. Ashley within broadcast. Joining me is Jim Jachetta of VidOvation. Hello.

Jim Jachetta:

Hello. How are you Ashley?

Ashley Blankenship:

I’m good, thank you.

Jim Jachetta:

Good to see you.

Ashley Blankenship:

It’s good to see you. So hey, tell me what is your company’s position right now in the media and broadcasting industry?

Jim Jachetta:

Well, VidOvation, we’ve been doing a lot with at home production or REMI production, as some folks call it. The technology has accelerated during COVID, but we’ve been doing, promoting this type of technology for more than eight years. So not everyone knows what REMI is. REMI or at-home production is a process of eliminating the trucks on site or eliminating personnel on site. So what’s the benefit of that? Saving costs.

Ashley Blankenship:

Very good. And what trends are you noticing right now in the media and broadcasting industry as far as technology or anything like that? And how have you adapted with the trends?

Jim Jachetta:

Yeah, that’s a good follow-up question that I think broadcasters are seeing, yes, at home production or any kind of a change in your production workflow. Well, we’re used to having 50, a hundred operators on site in several trucks. They’re seeing now because of COVID we can do a show at home. We can save costs. We can save time. Where a skilled operator could do one or two shows a week, a skilled operator can do two shows a day and do it from home using at home technology.

Ashley Blankenship:

Right. And so what would you say are your latest developments and what territories would show an interest in that?

Jim Jachetta:

Yeah. VidOvation, we’re a US company. We primarily serve the US with most of our product line. We have systems that will do one channel of video, two, four or eight channels of video, all over cellular or over IP. We have integrated camera control, which is a nice differentiator. Also, where we really shine is doing at home production with multiple cameras. So why is that important? When you stream video over an unmanaged network like the internet or cellular, it’s hard to keep the cameras in sync with each other. So we’re really good at maintaining frame accurate genlock and lip sync across multiple cameras over cellular.

Ashley Blankenship:

Right. That’s important. And along with some of the things you mentioned, are there any other things that you’re currently highlighting here right now currently?

Jim Jachetta:

Yes. Actually what’s been a big hit at the show, we have a table here with five different products. It’s part of our VidOlink Reacher II family. It’s low cost, zero latency, point-to-point, wireless camera links. We have a 600 foot model that’s very economical. We have a model that includes tally and intercom, just some of the differentiators. And then we have a nice … It’s a kit that includes four small transmitters and one four channel receiver. So it’s perfect for doing like a small production, a church or a conference or an event. You could have four cameras and one receiver all in a nice Pelican case little kit. So come by booth 10 44 and have a look.

Ashley Blankenship:

There you go. And any bit about what we can expect in the near future from VidOvation?

Jim Jachetta:

In the near future, we have more developments in 4K. We have a new appliance from MVP, Mobile Viewpoint and Vislink. It’s like a production truck in a two rack unit rack. It takes multiple cameras in. It does intercom, camera control. It has microphone preamps in it. It’s an amazing little box and it can go over the network or cellular.

Ashley Blankenship:

Very good. That’s exciting stuff. So it’s always a pleasure, Jim. Thank you so much for speaking with us today.

Jim Jachetta:

Thank you, Ashley. It’s always a pleasure.
