JUST-IN-TIME CLOUD DEPLOYMENT The new Dynamic Event pipeline has been created by Vualto to enable dynamic provisioning of cloud
Spinning up resources like encoders only when required can result in cost savings. The Dynamic Event pipeline solution allows live events to be scheduled and the resources required to be spun up in the cloud prior to the event starting. After the event, it deprovisions the infrastructure that is no longer necessary. The VCH contains the provisioning schedule and infrastructure profiles and the schedule is used to start/terminate the servers, while the infrastructure profile governs the size of the CPU, RAM and disk size.
infrastructure. Aimed especially at ‘pop- up’ channels and companies needing to respond quickly to events, the new feature is part of the Vualto Control Hub (VCH) orchestration tool. It is designed for clients who wish to optimise cloud-based events and pop-up channel streaming.
TROLLEY LIVE Responding to customer requests, manufacturers of mobile and AI solutions for live video productions, Mobile Viewpoint, has released the Trolley Live solution. Designed to be a self-contained camera unit, the solution has all the functionality required to present a professional live stream from any remote location. The Trolley Live is a new concept, where camera and encoder are self- contained in a mobile unit that is very easy to operate. It comes with a screen that can be used for return video or an autocue presentation. Including an IFB feature for audio return from a remote director, an off-the-shelf microphone can also be supplied. Managing director, Michael Bais, said: “The Trolley Live is the result of a collaboration between our broadcast and media customers who wanted a self-contained live streaming unit for remote workers, especially as many of them are now confined to home.” With the ability to livestream either directly as a web cast, or with a decoder unit installed in the broadcast centre, it is possible to support live broadcast workflows where HD-SDI is required at the receiving end. The inbuilt H.265 encoder can livestream from the camera either via a direct wired LAN connection, Wi-Fi and there is an option to support multiple 4G networks via built-in modems.

FACING 5G As 5G communication becomes more prominent, we are seeing many companies rolling out new software suited to the 5G network. Cambridge-based Velocix is one such example, and it recently introduced mobile- optimised content delivery network (CDN) software for 5G video streaming applications. “5G video viewership is expected to surge a hundredfold over the next few years, placing unprecedented scaling demands on wireless network operators,” explained Jim Brickmeier, who is the chief product and marketing officer at Velocix. The company revealed multi-tier CDN delivery and inter-cache communications technology that can reduce traffic demands over mobile backhaul networks by as much as 30%. The latest software is also compatible with multi-access VELOCIX info.velocix.com/5g-streaming
edge computing (MEC) systems, allowing elastically scaleable caches to be deployed closer to consumers at the periphery of 5G radio access networks (RANs). Brickmeier explained the advantages of this: “Our mobile-optimised CDN technology more efficiently routes and delivers video traffic over IP and wireless networks. This results in less network congestion, improved video quality and a reduced need for costly infrastructure upgrades to support the rising tide of 5G viewing devices.” For more information, please visit the Velocix website.
