Stand: K30

The rise of the fixed rig (based

around pan, tilt, zoom – PTZ –

HD cameras) has had a huge

impact on television, with whole

evening schedules seemingly

given over to observational

documentary. The industry has

arrived at a point where the fixed

rig has matured as a production

tool and as a technology

solution. BVE visitors should

spare some time away from the

UltraHD hubbub to take a look

at this crucial development in

programme making.

Why fixed rig?

Importantly, the cost of rigs

is significantly lower than

sending out a fully-equipped

camera crew. PTZ units are

far more affordable than most

shoulder-mount broadcast

cameras, deliver great pictures

but are small enough to be

installed discretely in any

location, with no need for hotel

accommodation or coffee

breaks. In our experience,

they also deliver a new level of

naturalism to the screen.

What’s new at BVE 2015

Across the showfloor, visitors

will see the whole production

chain, from cameras and

control to capture and

storage, with a number of key

innovations launching at BVE.

Panasonic is launching PTZ

cameras at the show. The

HE40 has a full HD sensor,

30x optical zoom and, for the

first time, support for power

over Ethernet. At well under

£3,000, it’s lower priced than

its predecessor but offers far

greater flexibility. Similarly, the

HE130 with its fan-less design

is full of innovation: it features

power over Ethernet, HD

streaming over IP, night mode

and an optical image stabiliser.

Recording multiple streams of

HD video on location has always

been an issue. With production

companies focused on saving

costs and improving workflows,

the multi-channel recording

workstation has become highly

sought after. This removes

the need for a bank of VTRs,

stacks of tape and hours spent

ingesting material onto servers,

all of which are endless and

thankless tasks.

One of the hits of last year’s

show, Quadrus Ingest Machine,

has been developing strongly

over the last 12 months. We

are now able to show live AAF

and XML creation using a

video switcher for enhanced

workflows with Avid, Adobe

and Apple NLEs. It also offers

editing during capture and even

system control over IP for truly

remote production.

West End

Stand: D46

By Heather McLean

West End is showcasing its

end-to-end range of services

and production facilities,

including its Human Interactive

Project, here at BVE.

The Human Interactive

Project was created by

West End to demonstrate the

breadth of its skills and services

for a medical congress. From

concept to scripting to final

software development,

West End created a giant

interactive touchscreen

experience for congress visitors

to see and hear the stories

of patients. This innovative

concept has brought patient

perspectives to life for many

different therapy areas, West

End claimed.

The project was shot in

West End’s own studio using

a 4K Blackmagic camera,

with all post production carried

out at its high-end in-house

edit suite.

West End media director,

Mark Bird, explained: “Human

Interactive is a great example of

all West End’s media production

cogs working together; check

it out and you’ll experience the

range of possibilities it opens

up. This type of interactive

experience is applicable to a

wealth of industries and an

endless number of applications,

and West End is able to produce

whatever is required in-house,

to order.”
