Florida television station selects Avid NewsCutter
NBC's WTVJ Channel 6 will use the Avid NewsCutter Effects nonlinear editing system to edit news stories in its Miami news bureau. All stories edited in the bureau will be networked to WTVJ's master control, which resides in the station's main facilities in Miramar, Florida.
The installation at WTVJ is part of the broadcaster's conversion from analog to digital operations, which began more than a year ago. The new bureau will include four networked NewsCutter Effects and a DS3 link. Each NewsCutter system can create stories in conjunction with the Avid iNews system and independently move completed stories to a NewsCutter Effects system remotely located in the Miramar main operations system.
Once the installation is complete, the NewsCutter system in central control will interface with Grass Valley Profile PDR400 servers, collecting and moving completed stories and segments directly to the Profile servers for play to air.

TV stations slowly migrate to HDTV
Television stations are migrating to HDTV over fiber at a slower pace, a study conducted by SCRI said.
According to the 2001 - 2006 DTV Migration Trends survey of U.S. television stations, only 12.2 percent of stations are expected to use HDTV over fiber by the end of 2002. The numbers are expected to slowly increase in the next few years. By 2003 at least 17.6 percent, by 2004 at least 23 percent and by 2005 just under three in ten stations (28.4 percent) are expected to use HDTV over fiber.
SCRI said the plus side to using fiber is its ability to accommodate extremely high bit rates, irrespective of content. The bandwidth required for HDTV is significantly greater than that required for SDTV. Bandwidth capacity is the key factor in any medium of transport — fiber, cable, or over the air.
The National Association of Broadcasters said as of January 9, there are 229 DTV stations operating in digital. DTV signals are also now being transmitted in 80 markets, which includes 73.7 percent of U.S. television households.
ND Technology distributes YEM products in the U.S.
ND Technology is now the exclusive U.S. distributor of YEM video products.
YEM designs and manufacturers video scan converters, high-definition signal processing, and interfacing and image scaling products. In 2001, YEM recieved an Emmy for the development of a digital HD upconverter from 525-line NTSC to HDTV for DTV.

NBC selects Evertz’s 7700-Series Systems
Evertz Microsystems, a leading provider of innovative technology for the television creation and distribution community, is pleased to announce that NBC has purchased Evertz 7700-Series Modular Video/Audio Systems for its “Son of Skypath” Digital Network Distribution project.
Comprised of more than 2,000 7700-Series items, these systems are part of integrated packages being deployed at 189 NBC owned and affiliated stations to provide high-quality digital to analog conversion and processing of video and audio for multiple digital NBC Network broadcast feeds. The systems utilize the newly introduced Evertz 7735AVC-LB Composite Video Encoder and Digital-to-Analog Audio Converter, with additional modules providing system reference generation and signal distribution.
The 7735AVC-LB Composite Encoder is a broadcast quality, 10-bit component SDI to composite analog converter with audio demultiplexers and audio DACs. It also features a line synchronizing buffer used for re-timing output video up to one video line. The 7735AVC-LB incorporates Evertz’s unique patent pending “SoftSwitch” technology, assuring that audio glitches, present as “pops” and caused by hot-switching serial digital signals with embedded audio at different levels or with differing embedding phase, are minimized to provide ‘broadcast’ signal quality.
In addition, remote monitoring, control and configuration of the 7735AVC-LB is available via SNMP or through proprietary communication protocols via an RS-232 port interface. This multiple control capability provides maximum flexibility in system design and control.
According to Evertz’s President, Romolo Magarelli, “NBC needed cost-effective systems with rapid delivery and Evertz was able to meet this challenge. We were also able to quickly develop the “SoftSwitch” solution without impacting NBC’s project schedule.”
Evertz designs, manufactures and markets high quality video, audio and film equipment required by professional production and post-production facilities and television broadcasters worldwide.
Fox selects Panasonic's HD Cinema camera
Panansonic's AJ-HDC27V HD Cinema camera is being used for special-effects sequences on several episodes of the Fox series, "Titus." And users say the camera offers a wide range of filming possibilities.
Fox Television is using Panasonic's new AJ-HDC27V HD Cinema camera for special-effects sequences on several episodes of its show,"Titus." The flexible digital camera provides cinematographers with a wide range of opportunities, including its 24 frame per second capture for acquisition of film-like images.
The camera's variable-speed capabilities allows digital cinematographers to capture film-like 24-frame high-definition progressive scanned images.
The AJ-HDC27V offers users 24 frame per second capture for acquisition of film-like images. With its variable-frame selectivity, cinematographers can choose from a range of other frame rates - including 4 to 33-fps (in one frame increments) 36-fps, 40-fps and 60-fps providing the ability to "overcrank" or "undercrank" the camera to achieve fast or slow-motion effects.
AJ-HDC27V's progressive images can be converted to film avoiding frame rate conversions. It can also create "motion-blur" and "warp-speed" special effects in real-time by shooting at very low frame rates without shutter. The camera's shutter speeds automatically track frame rate changes, ensuring consistency throughout the shoot.
The AJ-HDC27V is capable of shooting in a wide range of light-level conditions and its programmable gain preamplifier can be set to optimize signal levels.
The Cinema camera records for 46 minutes in standard 720/60p format on DVCPro large-size cassettes and has an equivalent ASA speed rating of 1000--F13@2000 lux. Capable of shooting in a wide range of light-level conditions as well, the AJ-HDC27V's programmable gain preamplifier can be set to optimize signal levels - operators can choose from -6 dB + 36 dB in 12 steps. It's advanced color correction scheme utilizes a 12-pole color matrix that allows very specific colors to be adjusted without affecting the overall color imagery. The camera offers a total of 12 separate scene files, which are saved internally and on a removable card.
The camera lineup also includes the AJ-HDC20A 1080i60 camera and the AJ-HDC27A 720p60 camera.

Quantel's iQ integrates with Panasonic
Quantel's iQ now supports the Panasonic AJ-HDC27v variable frame rate high-definition camcorder. Panasonic's variable frame rate camcorder brings film's under- or over-crank flexibility to video acquisition and now iQ adds the same flexibility into post production.
Panasonic and iQ's integration is designed to give post users a chance to work with tapes from the variable frame rate camera with the flexibility of iQ.
Tapes from the variable frame rate HD camcorder are loaded into iQ to produce slow or fast motion 24 fps clips. iQ makes full use of the information from the camcorder and speed changes are handled automatically. iQ's resolution co-existence allows the 720p clips from the camcorder to be used in HD or SD projects without any pre-processing.
iQ's purpose-built, open-programmable hardware and software architecture allowed the necessary changes to the video processing to be made in software without hardware modifications.
Variable frame rate camcorder support is standard with every iQ system. It is available now.
SCRI asks stations about H/DTV conversion
SCRI recently asked television stations across the country when they expected to complete their conversion to H/DTV.
The following graph and chart shows almost three in ten stations have already converted their master control suites to DTV, and by 2002, about two out of three (65.3 percent) would have done so.
The graph and chart listed below shows a slight contrast. SCRI's survey showed only 7.1 percent of stations have already converted to HDTV. By 2002, just over four in ten stations (42.9 percent) would have converted MC to HDTV, with the two-thirds installed base expected by 2002.
