Bridge Technologies is showcasing a new capability at IBC2019. The Oslo company says the Widglets API HTML5 video monitor for the company’s VB440 network probe is ‘Transformative’.
Widglets API can deliver a full-motion, colour-accurate and ultra-low latency video monitoring capability to any location or any application through a laptop and a network connection.
“There are many challenges in all-IP remote production, and applications throughout the broadcast chain that would gain enormous insight and benefit from being able to see and understand what’s going on with the picture – and this new Widglets API allows that,” said Simen K Frostad, Chairman, Bridge Technologies. “Using the new Widglets API for the VB440, video monitoring can be embedded within any HTML code – making it available to anyone connected via a web browser.”
One use-case is in international sports events where commentators can be given access to every video and audio stream – from an uncompressed source at location, with colour accuracy, in full-motion, with effectively zero latency, all essentials in remote production.
The VB440 IP probe supports interface speeds including 10, 25, 40, 50 and up to 100 Gigabit on dual interfaces, so that even the largest of media networks can be accommodated with analysis of SD, HD i and p, HD HDR, 4K and 4K HDR and above.
