Abe Abt (AJA): “Estrenamos emocionantes actualizaciones en muchas de nuestras soluciones”

Abe Abt, Senior Product Consultant en AJA Video Systems, plantea en esta videoentrevista en NAB 2024 cómo el fabricante ha acudido a Las Vegas con el objetivo de ayudar a los profesionales a seguir el ritmo de la evolución de los estándares, formatos, protocolos y códecs, y agilizar sus flujos de trabajo.

Entre las novedades destacan las últimas actualizaciones de ColorBox, FS-HDR, Bridge Live, Desktop, FS4, HELO Plus y Diskover Media Edition.

As to ColorBox v2.1 introduce varias nuevas funciones y mejoras inspiradas en los comentarios de los clientes que apoyan los flujos de trabajo emergentes, desde la conversión descendente 4K/UltraHD y el recorte 4K/2K hasta la nueva compatibilidad con ACES Metadata File (AMF), la compatibilidad con ARRI Wireless Video Optimized LogC4 (WVO) y mucho más. En el marco de NAB 2024, AJA también ha anunciado que ColorBox y Livegrade de Pomfort han recibido la certificación de la Academy Color Encoding System (ACES).

with firmware FS-HDR v4.3, AJA's real-time HDR/WCG converter and frame synchronizer includes the latest BBC HLG LUTs v1.7, as well as a new motion-adaptive deinterlacer and channel-to-channel HFR sync controls. The new BBC HLG LUTs v1.7 update LUT 9 to improve the reproduction of bright saturated colors and LUT 21, which offers SDR output with a wider color gamut. A new motion adaptive deinterlacing control improves performance with some interlaced videos containing fast motion by adjusting the amount of motion adaptive used. AJA has also updated the channel-to-channel HFR sync control to be user-configurable so it can be easily turned on or off based on production needs. FS-HDR v4.3 will be available in Q2 2024 as a free update.

En lo que respecta al transcodificador multicanal de flujo de trabajo de vídeo IP Bridge Live, empleado habitualmente para facilitar la producción remota, las entrevistas bidireccionales, la transmisión de eventos en directo y el backhaul multicámara síncrono con HDR, la nueva versión 1.16 incorpora bonding con SRT, codificación/decodificación AAC-HE v2 o el passthrough Dolby E de 20 bits.

The release also adds support for Thunderbolt on Linux.

Regarding frame synchronizer and up/down/cross converter FS4, Update 3.1 debuts motion-adaptive deinterlacing control and improved, user-configurable channel-to-channel HFR sync control. Regarding H.264 streaming and recording device HELO Plus, the version 2.1 brings a new SRT Stream ID parameter to Caller mode, the addition of SRT Listener mode as a user selection, a view of each encoder's B-frame settings on the status page, and much more. Both versions will arrive for free in the second quarter of 2024.

Finally, AJA Diskover Media Edition v2.2.3 will offer a rich catalog of metadata through a new arrival date attribute, a plug-in for Autodesk's popular Flow Production Tracking creative project management software (formerly ShotGrid), and a host of useful new navigation, host-aware file action, task pane, and analytics enhancements designed to streamline workflows. With no confirmed release date, users will also be able to set up a trial version of the software in minutes via an OVA (Open Virtual Device).
