AI CAPTIONING AND LOCALISATION
KMOV-TV, a CBS affiliate in St Louis, successfully used Clear-Com’s Gen- IC Virtual Intercom, a cloud-based intercom solution, to enhance communication during the live broadcast of America’s Birthday Parade on 4 July. This marked a significant technical achievement for the station, overcoming the challenges of a
particularly complicated production and stringent IT security policies. Faced with the need to manage real-time communication across a geographically distributed production team, KMOV- TV turned to Gen-IC to bypass traditional IT constraints, such as external port forwarding rules on their firewall.
The cloud-based solution allowed the station to connect LQ Series IP Interfaces at its production truck on-site and at its studio located 30 miles away, using Clear-Com’s Virtual Intercom matrix hosted on Google’s secure infrastructure. This enabled seamless communication for robust live broadcasting.

Huddle up!
Radical is a developer of AI-powered motion capture and real-time 3D-creation tools and it recently revealed the world’s first single-camera real-time markerless performance-capture solution. “Giving our users the ability to capture in 3D, and in real time, the motion of their hands, fingers, face and upper body elevates and truly democratises motion capture. This includes those with mobility restrictions, who previously had limited ability to enjoy performance capture due to its conventional requirements for full- body calibration,” explains Matteo Giuberti, Radical CTO and co-founder. “Our goal is to democratise the motion-capture industry – and this means for everyone.” This release, currently in public beta, enables finger tracking and a new upper- body mode that will exist together with the company’s full-body solution. Making moves in motion capture
Avid recently launched Avid Huddle, a new SaaS solution that allows post-production teams the ability to collaborate and accelerate content review and approvals. Avid Huddle removes the time- consuming process of sending content to multiple stakeholders and compiling their input separately. Simulating an in-person content-review process, editing teams can significantly accelerate project delivery, saving time and money. “Collaborating to review video content during post-production is challenging when the creative team is distributed across multiple locations. Avid Huddle helps teams jump this barrier and truly embrace distributed working,” says Tanya O’Connor, VP of market solutions at Avid. Avid Huddle will be available as a flexible monthly or annual subscription, so users can scale up or down as required. Only the host needs to have Avid Huddle; participants join through Microsoft Teams.
