NAB 2023: Net Insight and Mo-Sys partner to showcase remote production innovations
Net Insight and Mo-Sys will perform a next generation remote production demo at the NAB Show together with one of Net insight’s customers. The solution demonstrates the next level in remote production allowing both production and camera crews to work remotely in a fully seamless manner, dramatically reducing cost and improving sustainability for the media industry.
Net insight and Mo-Sys have partnered to provide a solution for the media industry that enables ultra-low latency and precise synchronisation for controlling robotic camera heads in remote production. This service solution empowers broadcasters and media companies to deliver high-quality content experiences to audiences worldwide with greater efficiency and reliability than before.
The demo will be performed with a global media service provider delivering thousands of remote productions annually, showcasing the cost and sustainability benefits of full remote production workflows for sports events, allowing both production and camera crew to work remotely while maintaining full quality and control.
Net Insight’s Nimbra product family offers features that enable ultra-low latency and frame alignment, critical for applications that require precise timing and synchronisation, such as controlling robotic camera heads with Mo-Sys solutions. These capabilities are made possible using advanced networking technologies and real-time monitoring tools that ensure high-quality, reliable and secure delivery of media content across the global video connect managed media network offered by Net Insight’s customer. The Mo-Sys solution together with the real-time properties of the Nimbra system, enable a camera operator to experience the sensation of directly manipulating and moving the camera and box lens by controlling the Mo-Sys U50 robotic head, remotely over the network.
On the other end, Mo-Sys integrates the Vinten V750i as a remote pan-bar controller, which provides the operator with complete control over the weight and stiffness. As a result, the operator can replicate the familiar tactile sensation of working with a camera in an arena setting while controlling it from another location in the world.
“Our media delivery ecosystem empowers broadcasters and media companies to deliver engaging and immersive content experiences daily to audiences worldwide,” said Christer Bohm, vice president product management at Net Insight. “We continuously offer new innovations across the media and entertainment vertical with our market-leading product offerings, which are designed to meet the evolving needs of our customers.”
“The Mo-Sys U50 offers precise remote control of cameras and box lenses, allowing camera operators to replicate the feel of moving the camera directly. This maximises productivity, improves safety and comfort, and enables use with the latest AR and virtual production tools for even more creative possibilities. We’re proud to offer this innovative solution for worldwide remote production to our customers,” said Florian Gallier, strategic partnerships manager at Mo-Sys Engineering.
