Main exhibit of JVCKENWOOD at IBC 2016

1. Studio Solution booth area providing new IP solutions

We will exhibit a PTZ remote-type IP streaming camera controller, the first of its kind by JVCKENWOOD, and display, for reference, a 4K camera module that can be incorporated into various systems.

Main new products for exhibition

1) New product: HD remote camera KY-PZ100BE/WE and remote control unit RM-LP100E

KY-PZ100BE/WE            RM-LP100E

JVCKENWOOD will highlight, as new products, HD remote camera KY-PZ100BE/WE, which is installable in a distant location and a spot where shooting is difficult, coupled with dedicated remote control unit RM-LP100E. In addition to having ordinary remote camera functions, KY-PZ100BE/WE enables wired and wireless live streaming. Being able to provide 3G-SDI, HDMI and IP streaming simultaneously, this product can transmit video signals optimal for a given system. To address various kinds of video shooting and operation situations required to be handled by a remote camera, KY-PZ100BE/WE taps into a direct drive system characterized by superior location accuracy and low-noise features—features realized due to JVCKENWOOD’s proprietary mechanical technologies. By employing the remote control unit RM-LP100E accompanying the camera, the user can maneuver it and specify settings from a spot far from the camera.

2) Reference exhibition: 4K camera module GW-MD100

GW-MD100

Also to be shown at the exhibition will be GW-MD100, a 4K camera module that is made compatible with 4K/50p and 60p outputs by using four types of output for 3G-SDI targeting video production users. This Super35mm CMOS-based camera module is an uncomplicated single-body camera that can be built into various systems such as a drone and PTZ by using a dedicated command function (to be released shortly). It also caters to various production situations, including studio recording and sports event shooting, with the aim of assisting next-generation 4K video production.

2. Booth area for IP streaming-based camera shooting system “Go Live! & Camera Shooting”

“Go Live! OB Van”

Outside Broadcast (OB) Van,” an IP-based demonstration car serving as a concept exhibit, and outline the low-priced outdoor live shooting system utilizing Internet lines. Designed to deal with shooting situations for which JVCKENWOOD’s IP streaming camera is used, the above-mentioned shooting system has all its necessary devices in a single small car. It enables the user to flexibly handle projects for which live broadcasting was previously highly challenging due to location or budget reasons.
