Broadcast Tech & Engineering News – Victoria-based MXZN joins Paralympic Media Consortium

With access to athletes limited and a smaller media presence in Tokyo, MXZN stations will be placed in multiple venues to act as remote digital content capture hubs.  (CNW Group/Canadian Paralympic Committee)

MXZN has joined the Canadian Paralympic Media Consortium as an official partner, alongside CBC, Radio-Canada, AMI, Sportsnet, and digital partners Twitter and Facebook. With access to athletes limited and a smaller media presence in Tokyo, MXZN stations will be placed in multiple venues to act as remote digital content capture hubs. The easy-to-use tech features an interactive touchscreen, high quality camera, external microphone, lighting, and an adjustable height, with athletes able to speak directly into the camera following their competition. The resulting video can then easily be shared on a variety of social media platforms or with broadcast and media outlets. 

LISTEN: With the pandemic accelerating remote production, Shawn Snider, Ross Video’s Vice-President of Production Workflow and Cloud Services, is our guest on this sponsored episode of Broadcast Dialogue – The Podcast. Snider speaks with Stuart Russell on the advantages of cloud-based solutions, the future of the live production industry, and challenges to be overcome. Listen on your favourite podcast app or here:

Vevo has launched a new contextual ad targeting product, called Vevo Rewind. Through Vevo’s data-backed content recommendations, Vevo Rewind allows brands to place their campaign alongside the top Vevo music videos of a particular decade, from the 1970s through the 2010s, in addition to targeting a specific genre or country. Vevo Rewind follows the success of ‘Moods’ launched earlier this year, a contextual ad targeting product, which groups music videos by specific sentiment for more emotional congruence between a campaign and its surrounding content. Vevo Rewind is available within the Vevo network, including on-demand and linear TV channels (like Vevo 80s), in Australia, Canada, Mexico, the UK, and the U.S.

Telos Alliance has introduced the Telos iPort High Density multiple-codec gateway, which allows broadcasters to license up to 64 codecs in one rack unit. The new, more powerful iPort High Density transports multiple channels of stereo, mono and dual-mono audio across IP networks, including private WANs, IP-radio links and over good quality public internet connections. The new multi-codec is suited for large-scale distribution of audio to single or multiple locations, supporting 24 to 320 kbps for MPEG codecs, standard fixed rates for Enhanced aptX and 24-bit PCM at 48kHz, mono or stereo.
