Óscar Juste (Ross): “We are at your disposal to make your creative, technical or business objectives a reality”
Senior Vice President for Global Sales at Ross VideoÓscar Juste, in this video interview within the framework of IBC 2023, addresses the main innovations that the Canadian manufacturer has demonstrated at the fair, focusing on pillars such as immersiveness, hyperconvergence and artificial intelligence.
One of the focal points of the Ross Video stand in Amsterdam was a set in which the extended reality (XR) made the most of the Artificial intelligence (AI), at robotic cameras with fine-tuned tracking and improved cloud production hyperconverged infrastructure.
The latest improvements in Ross Video software are Voyager 5.2, with technology Nanite y Lumen from Unreal Engine; Xpression Maps 3.4, which offers greater data integration and better user control; and XPression 11.5.
Regarding AI, Ross ran several demos showing how ChatGPT It is integrated into your newsroom software, Inception, and in the new Ross multimedia asset management platform: Streamline Pro. This solution provides a shared space for both the editorial and creative departments to know what content is needed, so teams can agree more quickly and easily. When the content is finalized, Streamline Pro automates the entire process of preparing it for broadcast.
Hyperconverged infrastructure
The hyperconverged platform Vengeance Ross, designed to reduce the footprint of production infrastructure with massive savings in space, wiring and energy consumption, is expanded with new additions: Ultrix-Modx-io, a modular I/O card for Ultrix, which increases I/O support, granularity and maximizes port utilization; Ultrix-IPX-IO, an IP card for Ultrix that enhances ST 2110 IP workflows with increased bandwidth capabilities and new efficiencies in distributed architectures; Ultrastream license, which makes it easy to stream multiviewer outputs directly from Ultrix via NDI, providing multiviewer accessibility even on the Ultrix FR12 Smart Door and Ultriproc license, which brings procamp, color correction and SDR/HDR processing functions to Ultrix.
It should also be noted that its new SmartCore functionality Cohesively merges control over internal Ultrix processing and connected openGear resources into a unified interface for superior control system efficiency and seamless workflows. Furthermore, it has exhibited the SFC-6901. One of the most outstanding products in the range openGear, this high-density, multi-functional, four-channel 12G SDI fiber converter is configurable to manage fiber transmission and regeneration.
Carbonite Ultra 60
Another center of attention at IBC was the new mixer Carbonite Ultra 60. Designed to tackle the most demanding productions, Ultra 60 supports up to 60x25 I/O in HD or UHD. Its 3RU modular design offers the flexibility to start with fewer inputs and outputs, allowing facilities to prepare for current and future needs.
The Carbonite Ultra 60 arrives accompanied by the latest control surfaces TouchDrive: los TD3 and TD4 panels. The largest in the TouchDrive series, they feature expanded control capabilities that enable production facilities to deliver larger, more complex live productions at a fraction of the cost.
Ross also exhibited at IBC 2023 the latest version of Ross Production Cloud, a set of live production technologies based on Ross software and deployed on AWS Cloud. This latest update is demonstrated in a demonstration that shows how to operate a complete production control room in the cloud taking advantage of the flexibility and scalability of cloud technology.
