OPERATING AT EASE CP Communications has made its CamStream2 and CamStream2B fully available for rent or purchase. The second generation of the company’s Red House Steaming (RHS) all-in-one live production system, both systems support content acquisition, on- board recording and livestreaming in integrated turnkey packages. Both of the systems are also configurable to serve cloud streaming and user-hosted playout workflows. “These systems will allow content providers to shoot and stream broadcast-quality video direct to Facebook, YouTube, a CDN and/or studio-based playout servers with

virtually no advance labour or local production expenses,” said Kurt Heitmann, CEO of CP Communications. Once shooting commences, the Agile Airlink device streamlines connectivity by bonding Wi-Fi, Ethernet and mobile data paths into a single stream. The CP Communications team pick up the production from their network operations centres (NOCs) in New York, Florida or Nova Scotia, with remote control and management supported through Mobile Viewpoint’s LinkMatrix system. “Anyone that can remove a TV from a box, set it on a tabletop stand and plug in a power cord can operate either system,” concluded Heitmann.

JPEG XS ADDITIONS Appear TV has added JPEG XS compression to its X Platform. This means operators can now make use of the low-latency capabilities of the platform. The Appear X Platform is codec agnostic and serves as a flexible and low-latency broadcast network. Designed to allow customers to execute a panoply of applications, it is capable of contribution, remote production, video networking and distribution, too. With a backplane latency of less than 1ms, the X Platform supports the implementation of both current and future IP video standards, such as SMPTE 2022-6 and SMPTE 2110. In addition to the new JPEG XS, the platform can also receive compressed or uncompressed video from 12G SDI and 40G IP, and offer support for a spectrum of codecs. This includes AVC (H.264), HEVC (H.265), TICO and JPEG 2000. APPEAR TV appeartv.com/product-overview
