Discover how Tektronix solutions from Telestream can revolutionise your workflows;

• compare HD vs 4K, IP vs SDI or SDR vs HDR simultaneously from anywhere,

• access PRISM’s full feature set from home

• explore the SPG and ECO sync solutions for broadcasting and production environments that offer reliable sync & test signal generation for hybrid SDI and IP systems.

 

PRISM REMOTE CONNECTIVITY

Engineering and production staff increasingly need the flexibility to work remotely, without compromise. With easy to configure remote connectivity available for PRISM, users can control the same GUI that can be accessed from the front panel via noVNC, as if sitting in front of the unit, on location or at home.
Web UI provides full featured access to a variety of information and status tables

• Remotely configure and export pre-sets to other PRISMs so that teams are all working in a consistent way

• Remote capture and download captured files for further analysis

PRISM’s remote access provides users with a full feature set for monitoring and measurement applications at no additional cost, including the ability to remotely configure and export pre-sets, download the event log and use Syslog for remote analysis of events and alarms.

REVIEW HD vs 4K, IP vs SDI or SDR vs HDR SIMULTANEOUSLY, FROM ANYWHERE

PRISM offers flexible tile configurations to provide full screen, or two, three and four tile layouts giving users the ability to select which software apps are visible together.

If you need to evaluate independent parallel streams simultaneously, PRISM’s dual display function enables users to take their chosen tile layouts and view multiple HD vs 4K, IP vs SDI or SDR vs HDR at the same time.

This function allows for complete personalisation of the display set up, which can be saved as a pre-set for each user. The layout can go from two full tiles to a total of eight quarter tile display applications, and anything in between. All users are able to take advantage of dual display functionality, with the same GUI available onsite, in the machine room, on location or at home.

MAKE IT PERSONAL

 

PRISM includes a wide range of apps as standard, including waveform display providing an array of configurations, vector display to allow the user to adjust saturation and hue and IP status, providing a summary of protocol, bitrate, IP/MAC addresses, PTP domain, RTP Clock and Marker Frequency.

YOU CAN ADD PRISM APPS AS YOUR REQUIREMENTS CHANGE, SO YOUR SYSTEM CAN GROW WITH YOUR BUSINESS

Whether you need to decode the subtitles, select audio streams, review HDR filters or check problems with HDR streams, additional software options can be used within the picture display to personalise your system, to provide overlays for false colour, HDR area, gamut, light meter or closed captions/subtitles. In addition to the standard package an additional range of apps are available depending on your requirements, including IP Session providing a summary of information for the decoded stream, Dolby status, which shows the Dolby Metadata present within the Dolby signal or present within an ANC Packet as standardised in SMPTE ST 2020 and PIT Histogram which provides a graphical plot of the packet arrival times of the signal being decoded for video, audio and data.

ARE YOU MOVING TO 2110? TELESTREAM SYNC GENERATORS ALLOW YOU TO USE BOTH PTP AND MORE TRADITIONAL TIMING SO YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO CONTINUE SUPPORTING LEGACY SYSTEMS

Telestream Sync Generators provide highly accurate, stable, and reliable signals in both SDI and IP broadcast facilities. The family of SPG and ECO products are the globally trusted sync solution for broadcasting and production environments.

• Reliable sync & test signal generation for Hybrid SDI and IP Systems

• Ability to lock to GPS, PTP, NTSC/PAL black or analogue reference (Black Burst, Tri-Level, or CW)

• Changeover for main and protect configurations

• GPS Locked ST2059-2 PTP as Grandmaster or Follower

Whether it's a new network design that requires a combination of PTP and traditional analogue sync, an extension of an existing system, or a simple SDI system operating under budget constraints, the SPG and ECO family of sync generators and change over products can more than satisfy video network timing requirements.

A universal standard for AV-over-IP deployment could be the greatest gift the broadcast industry can give to its cousins in AV, says Paul Bray in this month's AV Magazine.

"NDI is a well developed protocol that can be found in both software and hardware products and it's optimised to work in typical office network environments without the need for "carrier grade" hardware that some other standards need" says Boxer's Managing Director Marc Risby, "Options like NDI offer many of the same features as SMPTE 2110 but are simpler and cheaper to implement, which appeals to AV and broadcast users alike."

"In the IP space, infrastructure is only a challenge when it comes to over reliance on hardware devices and competing, un-interoperable protocols" adds Laim Hayter of NewTek, "In a software defined IP environment, challenges of interoperability are greatly reduced, and in the case of the large ecosystem of vendors utilising NDI, we're already operating in a converged AV/Broadcast environment".

Boxer have supported Telestream customers in the UK since 1999, when Bruce Willis was the highest paid movie star and everyone was worried about Y2K.

Fast forward a couple of decades and it's fair to say it’s been an unusual year to say the least. During the pandemic many organisations have had to cope with very complicated working arrangements, many engineers have been furloughed and system checks may not have been given top priority.

Carried out by our in house team of certified engineers, trained at Telestream HQ in Nevada, the Health Check is a free service that we can run completely remotely.

How long have you worked for Boxer? Since July 2013, nearly 8 years. Where did you work/what was your role before you joined? I was at TalkTalk as a system administrator working on Linux and Windows services before I joined Boxer. TalkTalk acquired Videonetwork the video on-demand service back in the 00’s. What’s different about working at Boxer? It was a new lease of life for me joining Boxer after working in a corporate structure for 12 years.  I was able to go and meet customers, conduct meetings and training and do more travelling in a year than I had previously done in a decade. What skills and experiences do you have that enable you help Boxer’s customers? I have experience in coding so I can help customers with developing logics in their workflows, I’ve also worked with with setting up and supporting hardware across a wide range of applications.  I keep up with broadcast standards and technologies and always try to stay one step ahead of the game with new ways of working.

What does a typical work day look like? We have a short meeting in the morning with the Engineering team then it’s straight into looking at our support portal to see what queries/issues are being reported.  Some days I work with my sales colleagues on pre-sales tasks like proof of concept plans with existing and prospective customers, other days I will be training customers on how to use software and developing workflows with them.  I also spend time evaluating new products that we may be interested in representing.

What's your favourite thing about your job? The camaraderie with customers and colleagues.

What's your most prized possession? My wife (she said that).
