Hi human interface reduces the complexity of productions

The intuitive control solution for broadcast and live events infrastructures hi human interface, developed by systems integrator Broadcast Solutions, will show the advantages of its cross-platform capabilities at IBC 2024 (September 13-16 in Amsterdam, stand 10.C43).

Today, in the production of live programs or events, the multimedia environment is inevitably complex, with processing from multiple providers, large numbers of sources and destinations, multiple formats and resolutions, and high quality expectations. To obtain a perfect result at all times you need a total and secure control, and that is where hi human interface stands out

It brings together all the elements (video, audio, data, baseband, SMPTE ST2110, Dante audio, NDI...) and puts everything under one simple and common control. Much more than routing, hi can control all functionality of connected systems: cueing, switching and tuning. It is ideal for fixed or mobile installations, at one location or in multiple studios, mobile units or other venues.

User interfaces can be as simple as a 1U panel with buttons and rotary encoders for pagination and parameter control, or workflow-specific control views can be created for iPads. In large scale productions, hi can be interconnected acting as a single system. The Power Widgets They add specific functions, such as controlling PTZ cameras or servers, to create complex workflows with multiple interactions that are activated with a single click.

To ensure security in multi-vendor IP environments, hi es now compatible with Microsoft Entra ID, formerly known as Azure Active Directory. This allows for the management of user identities, access authorization and permissions control.

Everything under control

Petrus Palola, global sales director at hi human interface, states that "we all know the direction of travel in broadcast and live event production: our creative spirit pulls more media, adds more processes and delivers them to more screens and outputs. We accept and encourage it, and with our powerful platform we give users the confidence to create at their best."

"With hi, you can visualize the entire production environment, regardless of the underlying technology. Then, when the pressure is on, operation is simple, safe and accurate. By freeing the user to focus on production, hi is transformative," he adds.

Finally, it is worth noting that hi is completely vendor agnostic. Incorporates automatic detection of NMOS, NDI, Dante, VideoIPath and GV AMPP devices, so all you have to do is connect the device to the network for hi to identify it and add it to the workflow map. Configurations are stored in hi, so they can be instantly recalled when the same production is covered again.
