Newly released by Aviwest, PRO3-5G and AIR-5G Series solutions are 5G versions of the company’s bonded cellular transmitters. Aviwest is aiming to enhance its efficiency of live news, multicamera sports and events coverage delivery. “The 5G networks are expected to improve the current bonded cellular transmission scenario,” says Aviwest CTO, Ronan Poullaouec. “Gigabit speeds and reduced transmission latencies are the initial advantages broadcasters can realise from 5G. Beyond the new capacities and services, our Aviwest field units help maintain a consistent quality of service and make the best use of 5G network performance.” The provider has been involved in multiple field tests of 4K/ UHD and full HD/HEVC video delivery over 5G since 2017. Teaming up with some major international broadcasters and telcos has enabled it to test the real-world impact and performance enhancements of 5G on live broadcast video production, using the PRO3-5G, AIR-5G and HE Series. The company has recently demonstrated this at a major tennis championship at Roland-Garros in France and as part of the IBC Accelerator Programme in Amsterdam. THINKING ABOUT 5G

RESET WITH VESET
Veset’s Stratus SaaS application is now available in the AWS Marketplace. A web app, Veset Stratus was designed for modern content owners, with the aim of simplifying the creation and management of 24/7 pop-up linear channels. Users can combine live and pre-recorded (e.g. VOD) content, add broadcast graphics and SCTE-35 markers for ad insertion, and generate an EPG to create high- quality IP streams ready for distribution.
Stratus also enables creation and management of frame-accurate playlists, and template schedules to simplify daily planning. Interoperability with AWS
Media Services can ultimately make it faster for Stratus users to produce, process and deliver those linear channels to multiple platforms.
