WTVision は、幅広い AJA 機器を使用してターンキー システムを構築します

Several アジャ solutions, including products such as the Corvid 88, Corvid 44 12G or Kona I/O cards, are part of the wTVision turnkey systems, used in all kinds of contexts within the broadcast environment.

Founded in 2001, wTVision is part of メディアプログループ. The Lisbon-based company, with more than 350 employees, develops solutions for broadcast graphics; automation and playout; data and sports; augmented reality (AR); virtual studios; and media asset management (MAM) that are used by broadcasters, sports networks, entertainment channels and production companies in more than 120 countries. The company’s technology and equipment run more than 15,000 broadcast operations a year, supporting sports productions, election coverage, production control room (PCR) and master control room (MCR) operations, broadcast automation, broadcast design and post-production.

Many of wTVision’s turnkey systems include a combination of AJA Corvid 88, Corvid 44 12G and/or Kona I/O boards, which help “guarantee” “reliable and high quality” live video capture and playout; in this regard, the AJA Developer SDK (software development kit) makes it easy for wTVision to incorporate the technologies into bespoke solutions. Its graphics servers, for example, include AJA I/O cards to enable the output of synchronised key and fill signals up to UltraHD (2SI or SQD).

According to wTVision’s director of innovation and pre-sales, Daniel Gonçalves, the stability of each card allows wTVision and its customers to deliver “consistent, high-quality video at an affordable price.”. “Tons” of AJA’s Mini-Converters have also been integrated into wTVision’s production kits to support a wide range of conversion, sync generation and distribution amplification needs.

AJA’s solutions are extensively integrated into wTVision’s headquarters, which houses a data centre that hosts several client TV channels, an MCR operations centre and a studio with a chroma key set for clients to produce and record live programmes. This infrastructure includes products such as openGear solutions and Ki Pro recorders. In addition, AJA is present in wTVision’s R&D lab, which houses an HDR Image Analyzer 12G for HDR-related developments and certifications.

More recently, the wTVision team has started using the Bridge NDI 3G for remote HD and UltraHD productions。 Gonçalves said: “Bridge NDI 3G is revolutionizing our operational efficiency while also allowing us to advance our sustainability efforts. It allows our 3D graphics engine (R3 Space Engine) to output NDI or NDI HX from cloud environments and deliver synchronized key and fill feeds directly from a venue. With it, we can minimize the volume of equipment and personnel traveling between venues to achieve more operational efficiency and flexibility while also reducing our carbon footprint and logistical costs.”

“Across the board, AJA’s exceptional engineering quality ensures that our solutions and production kits remain durable and reliable, even in the most demanding environments, which is critical for maintaining consistent performance and minimizing downtime. Its gear can withstand the physical stresses of frequent setup, teardown, and transit, whether we’re working in the scorching heat or the freezing cold. Not only does the gear perform seamlessly, but it’s also highly compliant with industry standards for intuitive integration with other equipment in our systems and workflow. With AJA in our back pocket, we’re able to maintain a high level of quality and consistency and reduce technical issues, which means we get to focus more on developing standout systems and top-notch content for our clients,” concludes the wTVision head.
