INALA Broadcast’s stand (C23) at Mediatech Africa will showcase the latest technology from its principals, introducing these new innovations to the African market for the first time. Products and solutions on display will include:
Riedel Communications
- Bolero
Bolero, a game-changing new wireless intercom solution, is an expandable, full-roaming, DECT-based intercom system in the license-free 1.9GHz frequency range. Fully integrated into Riedel’s Artist digital matrix intercom platform, Bolero offers a rich set of features and connectivity that can be applied three ways: as an exceptional wireless beltpack, as a wireless keypanel, and as a walkie-talkie radio. - MediorNet MultiViewer
MediorNet MultiViewer is a virtual multiviewer app based on MediorNet MicroN high-density media distribution hardware and designed to work within the MediorNet network.Each single MediorNet MultiViewer engine can access any MediorNet input signal and process up to 18 signals. These signals can be placed flexibly onto four physical screens or routed to any destination within the MediorNet system and output at alternative locations. The MultiViewer device provides local signal inputs and outputs to offer further connectivity options, such as playing out the virtual MultiViewer screens locally on the device.
AVIWEST

AVIWEST’s HE4000 4K Ultra HD HEVC live encoder is ideal for real-time delivery of UHD or HD content over unmanaged IP networks. The compact, half 1-RU encoder combines 10-bit and 4:2:2 HEVC encoding with the latest generation of SafeStreams® technology for delivery of live video content over IP at low latencies and bitrates. - New uplink system revolutionises live video remote production
The AIR320 is a high-end, powerful, and ultra-lightweight video uplink system that integrates best-in-class H.265/HEVC and H.264/AVC hardware encoders to enable flawless HD and SD encoding and exceptional video quality delivery.Featuring up to four cellular connections, an internal Wi-Fi modem, internal battery, and AVIWEST’s SafeStreams technology, it allows broadcasters to seamlessly stream live interviews and store and forward recorded content even during unpredictable and unmanaged network conditions. - Advanced cloud-based live video contribution
AVIWEST’s live IP contribution system is mainly composed of the StreamHub transceiver and the Manager. The system operates in virtualised mode to deliver all the economic benefits of the cloud without compromising the performance required by today’s media environments.The extended capabilities of AVIWEST’s cloud solution will be showcased at Mediatech 2017. By supporting both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint distribution scenarios, the platform offers broadcasters the flexibility they need to stream live video content to any CDN and streaming platform such as Facebook Live or YouTube. - DSP-2312 Desktop SmartPanel
The newest member of the SmartPanel family of intelligent user interfaces is the DSP-2312 Desktop SmartPanel. The world’s first keypanel designed as a powerful multifunctional user interface, the app-driven SmartPanel is designed to enrich the user experience and change the way users communicate. The all-new desktop edition offers all the power and flexibility of the SmartPanel in a small, elegant, ergonomic, and low-profile device.
Tektronix
- PRISM
PRISM, a real time monitoring and analysis platform capable of IP and SDI measurements, is designed to meet the high standards of broadcast engineers and IT network engineers alike. Available in 3RU half-rack with built-in display or 1RU form factor, its software-based architecture enables easy upgrade in the field when new standards are rolled out during the IP transition, or when your application needs change. - WFM8300
The go-to tool for mobile and studio production, post-production, and facility operations, the 8000 Series waveform monitor and rasterizer is ideal for camera setup, color grading and correction and quality control of content, from HD to 4K/UHD with HDR. Available in 3RU half-rack with built-in display or 1RU rasterizer, it helps optimise quality and ensure signal integrity and regulatory compliance. - WVR5200
The industry standard for monitoring content quality at an affordable price, WFM/WVR5000 models are ideal for production and post with basic video and audio monitoring needs. The 5000 series offers uncompromised quality, HD/SD support, a range of software options, and the capability to handle 3G-SDI (WFM/WVR5200) and HDMI (WFM/WVR5250). - SPG8000A
The SPG8000A is a precision multi-format master sync and master clock generator and is suitable for hybrid sync generator and PTP (IEEE 1588) grandmaster clock reference generator applications. It addresses the emerging needs of customers who plan to migrate, in stages, from SDI-based to IP-based video infrastructure (including live production).
Embrionix
- emVIEW series
Embrionix families of conversion products allow signals to be monitored on standard displays with SDI or HDMI inputs. The emVIEW series is a small converter that can be mounted at the back of your monitor with connection via HDMI. Receiving over fibre ST-2022-6/7 and ST-2110 IP signals the small standalone emVIEW will convert the signal to SDI or HDMI. Also, using the same form factor, the emFUSION series does it the other way around by taking base band signals (SDI or HDMI) and encapsulating them into IP, so they can be incorporated into your media network.
- IP Gateway…The Embrionix way
Embrionix leads in the industry when it comes to IP Gateway. Bringing SDI signals (2) into an Embrionix SFP that fits directly into a Top Of Rack (TOR) COTS IP switch is not only clever but it is also unique. All other gateway solutions must go to a dedicated proprietary frame. The Embrionix way reduces footprint, cabling, power, weight and cost of ownership. It is an exceptionally efficient way to bridge the SDI world into an IT infrastructure.
Harmonic
Harmonic will showcase its latest innovations for video delivery — including cloud playout on VOS Cloud and VOS 360 offerings.
- Speeding up the launch of services with cloud-native technology
Migrating to the cloud is an important trend occurring in the industry today, as it provides increased infrastructure flexibility, elasticity and agility to launch services in a matter of hours, not months. Harmonic’s award-winning VOS™ Cloud media processing and VOS 360 software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions enable operators to manage video processing and delivery, all the way from ingest to delivery, over public or private clouds. - Easing the transition to all-IP workflows through trusted media server and playout solutions
As operators in the region continue transitioning to all-IP workflows, they need a simple and reliable migration path. Harmonic’s Spectrum™ X advanced media server and Spectrum XE playout solutions ease the transition to an all-IP infrastructure, supporting SD and HD channels for increased monetisation.
FileCatalyst
FileCatalyst Direct is a suite of client and server applications that enable point to point accelerated file transfers at speeds of up to 10 Gbps. Utilising the FileCatalyst UDP-based file transfer technology, FileCatalyst Direct is immune to the effects of packet loss and latency on a network. It can quickly deliver files of any size or format between cities, countries, and even continents.
FileCatalyst Workflow is a web portal that combines three powerful web-based managed file transfer workflows: submission, distribution, and online folders for file sharing. It simplifies file exchange and boosts productivity by integrating directly into your corporate infrastructure. FileCatalyst Workflow makes receiving files easy by acting as an online file submission inbox for anyone outside of your network submitting files into your organisational workflows.
FileCatalyst Central is a web application used to monitor and manage an organisation’s entire FileCatalyst deployment. Central allows administrators to view ongoing transfers in real time, dig into transaction histories, manage or monitor alarms, manage nodes and initiate node-to-server transfers.
