Contemporary Research is pleased to announce the release of the QIP-D IPTV Decoder/Controller, an integration-friendly IPTV decoder with incorporated display control and video output scaling up to 4K. Designed to function like the 232-ATSC 4K HDTV Tuner, the new QIP-D IPTV Decoder/Controller was designed specifically for commercial AV integration. It can be used in any market application where the need exists to decode IPTV channels distributed over an Ethernet network with the ability to also control televisions or displays.

The QIP-D IPTV Decoder/Controller will accept MPEG2 or H.264 single or multiple program transport streams and is compatible with UDP and RTP unicast or multicast IPTV streams. The QIP-D features HDMI output and video scaling from 480i to 4K and decodes MP12, AAC, and AC-3 Audio. Users can select channels, volume, and power from the front panel controls, handheld IR remote, or external control system via IP or RS-232. A channel list of programs can be uploaded from a PC running CR Toolbox software, a free universal application designed to connect and update CR products.

The integrated display controller can control power and source selection of the connected display device via RS-232 when used in conjunction with Contemporary Research’s ICE-HE-DXL Display Control Center with Display Express Lite, Display Express Software, or a third-party control system.

The QIP-D IPTV Decoder/Controller is made and supported in the U.S. by a technical support staff of AV Integrators. It is easy to set-up, maintain, and update. The QIP-D IPTV Decoder/Controller is robust and tolerant of changes in input resolutions and network instability. Contemporary Research’s ICE-HE-DXL Display Control Center, Display Express Control Software and QIP Encoders can be incorporated with the QIP-D to create a complete IPTV video distribution and display control system. The QIP-D IPTV Decoder/Controller is now shipping. For more information about the QIP-D IPTV Decoder Controller visit the Product Page. or the Venue Venue IPTV Video Distribution Solution Page.

Transcoding moves to the cloud. Intercom, tally and shading stay at the venue

Transcoding moves to the cloud. Intercom, tally and shading stay at the venue

Vendors draw the same line: transcoding and graphics move to the cloud, while intercom, tally and camera shading stay on site. Riedel says the connection back to on-site talent, cameras, tally and IFB can still undermine the production or the business case. Hybrid looks like where things settle.

  • 01Dillon’s analysis suggests hybrid cloud-plus-venue production is where things settle, making on-site hardware for latency-bound work a long-term facility plan item.
  • 02Interoperability standards such as SMPTE ST 2110 and NMOS handle the plumbing. The question to put to vendors now is how their systems provision, configure, tear down and monitor services alongside other vendors' gear.

Vindral shares an Emmy honour for frame-accurate browser monitoring

Vindral shares an Emmy honour for frame-accurate browser monitoring

Vindral shares an Emmy honour in a category described as web-based, frame-accurate, remote and distributed. Vindral shares the category with NBCUniversal, Disney, Amazon, CBS Sports, Grass Valley, Game Creek and SipRadius. The award recognises tools that keep production teams in separate locations frame-accurate in a browser, without specialised hardware.

  • 01The Emmy-recognised technical bar is that everyone on a distributed production sees the exact same frame at the exact same moment in an ordinary browser, with no specialised hardware.
  • 02Eight organizations share the award, and the release says the work being honored dates to the pandemic. The announcement doesn’t rank the honourees or include latency figures a buyer could benchmark.
