Video Clarity Teams Up To Demo IP Delivery

Video Clarity has announced that it will demonstrate 4K-over-IP contribution-level delivery with a full video and audio testing system, alongside companies Macnica Technology and PacketStorm Communications, at IBC2016, Stand 2.C57.

The companies will provide two demonstrations; one will highlight how manufacturers and program service providers can deliver 4K video inside networks built for HD with TICO, while the second will show new standards for IP network transport, emulation, and quality testing for uncompressed video.

The demonstrations will focus specifically on video and audio quality in the uncompressed domain, and on the mezzanine-level, visually lossless compression solutions being deployed for live-contribution video today.

IP transmission will come courtesy of Macnica Technology, who will show how a system could replace SDI-based architectures for delivering multiple types of high-quality, contribution-level content. The 4K portion of the demo will rely on TICO compression. PacketStorm Communications will provide the IP network emulation for both WAN and PTP to simulate actual network conditions and standards-based stress conditions. Video Clarity's ClearView 4K Player will provide the video source feed, and Video Clarity's RTM 4K real-time monitor will test the source against the network output. The RTM system measures audio and video quality continuously and applies a user-set threshold for error events that are captured automatically for playback in a side-by-side comparison of the source and downstream network output.

Adam Schadle, vice president of Video Clarity, said: "Today the trend is to deliver all media-over-IP infrastructures. One of the last areas to adopt IP infrastructure is the network core of a large video facility, where a high volume of uncompressed or potentially lightly compressed streams are required. By applying TICO in conjunction with 10-Gigabit IP transport technology, as well as new uncompressed IP transmission standards, we will demonstrate an emulated IP network and an end-to-end delivery test."
