We do a lot with at-home production.Some people call it REMI. Basically, it's live production done in the field. But even before COVID, we wanted to minimize personnel in the field, minimize having a truck or a van in the field or 50 employees in the field which are needed for bigger events.We do it at home. We bring the video feeds back home or to the cloud so we can have fewer personnel or personnel operating from home. So during COVID, at-home production, before COVID,
VidOvation at the 2024 NAB Show Celona Private 5G and VidOvation Bonded CellularAs part of NAB’s BEIT Conference, VidOvation Chief Technology Officer Jim Jachetta will present a paper on private 5G networks on Tuesday, April 16 at 12:10 p.m. Private 5G networks are filling a void in situations where standard Wi-Fi isn’t available or where Wi-Fi and public 5G get too congested to work as needed — especially in outdoor areas and large, open-air environments such as sports stadiums, concert venues, and locations of major news events.VidOvation will demonstrate the Celona private 5G solution in its booth (W2230), combining VidOvation’s bonded cellular technology with Celona’s 5G LAN system using shared cellular spectrum. The demonstration will show how Celona technology integrates with Haivision’s Pro and Air mobile encoders to deliver more reliable video transport and video transmission over private 5G. Attendees will see how public 5G and private 5G can work together using bonded cellular. In addition to the Celona technology, components of the solution include:Haivision Pro460, the most reliable 4K UHD and four-channel HD bonded cellular and IP encoder and transmitter for remote production and REMI.Haivision Air320 field HEVC encoder for on-the-go live streaming.

Correct lens distortion in live video in real-time. Maximize the impact and value of your media assets. Watch and learn from MC Patel about the top four use cases in which real-time correction of lens distortion can transform live video into a valuable addition to your live production. Small broadcast-quality HD cameras with wide-angle or fisheye lenses are both a practical and cost-effective solution for live sports and reality TV broadcasts, as well as a host of other applications including medical, forensics/security, concerts and other live events, covert wildlife image capture, electronic newsgathering, and more. Due to their compact size and lower cost, such cameras can be deployed with much greater flexibility than larger broadcast cameras to bring viewers new or unusual perspectives. Unfortunately, the wide field-of-view lenses typically used with such “micro-cameras” give rise to lens distortion and curvilinear perspective image artifacts resulting from camera positioning. To incorporate live video from HD micro-cameras into high-quality applications, broadcasters and production companies must be able to correct for these distortions in real-time. Highlights:
- Removal of Curvilinear Artifacts
- Adjustment of Rotation
- Virtual Camera Off-set
- Optimization of Zoom
Geometry plays a big role in the world in which we live. Straight lines and the shapes they create are included in much of what we see before us. Geometric optical lens distortion changes the way lines appear on the screen. This is a problem facing many modern videographers as the use of fisheye and wide-angle live HD cameras become more fluent in the mainstream recording. While wide-angle cameras provide an added level of depth which standard lenses don’t capture, it does pose some problems in terms of rectilinear projection. The lines which were once straight beginning to curve and distort around the edges of the shot. This optical aberration makes it difficult for viewers to determine what they’re looking at in the moment. For videographers with the time to correct these issues during the editing process, it’s not a problem. However, live broadcasters recording sports games, local news, research for the medical industry, or even corporate AV, are unable to rectify the distortion before the image reaches viewers. This is where VidOvation’s AlphaEye becomes an asset. Transcript: Jim Jachetta (00:00): Good morning everyone. I’m Jim Jachetta, CTO and co founder of VidOvation. Today we have a very special guest, my good friend MC Patel. He is the CEO of Alpha Image, and today he’s going to talk about a very innovative product he has called the Alpha Eye. Now all of us people in the television industry and the video industry, we’ve all seen distortion or artifacts in video with fisheye lens, wide angle lenses. Jim Jachetta (00:49): So I’ll give you an example. It’s not uncommon to have a wide angle shot above a basketball basket on...
The Internet Video Problem:
The Internet was never designed for Video
"Best-Effort” Transport Only
No Prioritization
Routers Drop Packets to Alleve Congestion
Dynamic Load Balancing Reorders Packets
Traffic is either UDP or TCP
UDP Transport is Real-Time, but Lossy
No Inherent Packet Recovery
No Guarantees on Packet Order
TCP Uses Positive Acknowledgement Packet Recovery
Not Real-time: Pauses for Unrecoverable Packets
Max Bitrate Limited by Distance & Node Hops
The Internet Video Solution: ARQ - Automatic Repeat Request
Automatic Repeat reQuest
Feedback Requests Resending Lost Packets
Receiver Delay to Allow Time for Recovery
Add Receiver Buffer to Create Delay
More Resilience → Larger Buffer
Lower Latency → Smaller Buffer
Capable of 100% Recovery
Capable of Full Recovery with Large Loss %
Zero Overhead on a Clean (Lossless) Network

Our foremost experts in broadcast, sports, and news production are going to walk through exciting portfolio enhancements initially planned to be showcased at NAB by AVIWEST. It will include an update on our 5G transmitters, the new rack-mount encoder RACK200 and RACK300, and much more. What I want to start with is this Emmy Award story. So over the last two years, we have been very delighted to be awarded at NAB with an Emmy award for our bonding technology. So it's the second year in a row we are getting this award. Unfortunately, we missed the ceremonies this year, but still we got that Emmy. This Emmy Award is about our bonded cellular technology, which is called SST. SST is our proprietary IP protocol being used in all of AVIWEST products, providing a very reliable and robust transmission paths over unmanaged IP networks. Unmanaged IP at first of course can be cellular, but it can be public wifi, public long-range internet, or best report satellite services.
