SUMMIT SOLUTION The G7 Summit is a meeting of high-profile leaders from across the globe. For the 48th Summit, held in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, VuWall transformed the town’s stadium into a police command centre. The centre housed VuWall’s TRx Centralised Management Software, allowing over 18,000 officers to monitor the G7 Summit as it unfolded. With the help of integrator AVS, VuWall installed a 12x4 wall, 4x2 wall, six 65in displays, 40 encoders, 16 HDMI 2.0 AVXT extenders and two VuScape 640 controllers. TRx combined these installations into a single user interface, enabling operators to drag and drop visuals onto the video walls. After the G7 Summit, the system was deconstructed and redistributed to police stations in Bavaria.

ALL-IN-ONE INTERFACE
Chyron has released an update to its cloud-native production platform, Live. Version 1.3 features a Matchpad module that can manage dynamic motion graphics and highlight key game elements. While Live 1.3 currently focuses on football, the update provides a technological foundation for a range of other sports. Live 1.3 provides users with an all-in-one interface for sports broadcasting, which includes mixing A/V sources and live commentary, creating graphical overlays and multicam replays and enhancing streams with 3D
telestration. Matchpad allows users to upload team and player information prior to a game, which will then automatically populate visuals via a template. Plus, a control panel lets users highlight key game elements. The Live update introduces new features, like enhanced streaming capabilities, improved input/ output configuration settings and increased user control. Drag- and-drop functionality makes file upload seamless, and shortcut keys encourage users without ‘any prior graphic playout knowledge’ to adopt the platform.
