During its NAB Show press conference, Mo Goyal, senior director, international business development, live production for Evertz, emphasized how its technology helps media companies create, deliver and capitalize on their content.
“It’s about enhancing elements that help [broadcasters] not only create the stories, but move the stories around the facility, help them finalize that story and then deliver that story to the end users,” he said.
New products launched at the show included the FRCX-2000 Real Time Live Frame Rate Conversion, which can move content between 50 Hz and 59.94 Hz.
“This helps us bridge the gap between North America and Europe and Asia, and be able to move content very quickly and do it in a live form,” Goyal said.
“With our FRCX-2000, we can now handle not only SDI but 12G SDI and UHD, as well as doing conversion for IP facilities, both in the uncompressed world of SMPTE ST 2110 as well as the compressed world of HEVC or H.264,” he added.
Goyal also discussed the development of the JPEG XS codec and how it is becoming critical for live sports production.
“We see JPEG XS as a very critical part of remote production, moving signals from point A to point B,” he explained. “There are a number of advantages to taking that approach.
JPEG XS is a very versatile codec, meaning that it can be deployed in both a hardware application or hardware solution, as well as software, and we still don’t give up the quality or the latency,” he said.
