EVS CONTRIBUTIONS FROM INGEST TO PLAYOUT

Introduction

Appointed as the Host Broadcaster for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ in South Africa, HBS has

decided to renew its successful collaboration with EVS for the supply of instant tapeless

technology and support services during the production of this world class event.

[email protected]

EVS technologies will be employed at different levels of the host

broadcast production, including the live production of the 64

matches in the OB facilities, where EVS systems will be used for

the live slow, super slow and ultra slow motion replays, as well

as the compilation of the best clips and highlights creation.

EVS is also providing a full HD multiple feed ingest and media

exchange solution on a Media Server, based on an advanced XT[2] network infrastructure,

offering instant access to any content recorded during the competition with enhanced search

and low resolution browsing systems. This allows broadcasters to easily interchange media

content. The media recorded and logged into the media server includes 9 different feeds from

the pitch, plus ENG files from 40 reporting crews.

In order to maximize the remote access to the content, HBS has decided to introduce the

web-based server system already operated by HBS for the Ligue1® Football production in

France. The system (known as the EVS XT[2]Web) will enable broadcasters to access,

browse, and review the ENG edited sequences produced by the HBS ENG team at the

different venues on a web-based solution for download in SD or HD.

Xedio, EVS‟ editing solution, will be operated by HBS editing teams

for the production of 24/7 news programs, and provide remote access

to file based ENG via advanced web production systems.

Moreover EVS, via HBS, will be providing different broadcasters

(known in the FIFA jargon as “Media Rights Licensees”) with browsing

tools to access, review, clip, and import material for their own

production crews.

Last but not least, EVS systems will manage the ingest of dedicated mobile feeds with live

streaming onto Apple XSAN and FCP editor for instant delivery onto mobile network services.

OB Live Production and Graphics

While traditional league matches are shot with an average

of 12 to 18 cameras, a 2010 FIFA World Cup™ match will

be tracked with no less than 29 to 32 cameras depending

on the match. In addition to standard cameras, HBS will be

operating a series of Super and Ultra Motion cameras. In

order to insure the production of live replays, slow-motion

action replays, highlights, and closers during a live football

match, all cameras will be recorded on EVS video

production servers installed in the Outside Broadcast

facilities (OB Vans) located in the broadcast compound, at

the venue, during the event.

The following technologies from EVS will be placed in the OB

vans for the live productions of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ in

South Africa:

Multiscreen monitoring in MER

About 130 XT[2] servers will be deployed in the fleet of OB trucks working at the different

venues in South Africa. These advanced digital video recorders manage the acquisition of all

cameras surrounding the playing field. They are based on a loop recording process, so that

not a single shot is ever missed. Their live oriented architecture (high level of redundancy

and fault-tolerance, insuring that no failure can interrupt the workflow) guarantee a maximum

level of control for instant replays, highlights editing, compilations of best clips, and graphic

overlays managed by the OB production team during the matches. Each server can

simultaneously ingest and control multiple feeds (up to six feeds per server).

During the production of a match all the XT servers installed in the OBs are linked together

allowing operators and production teams to share content and control media recorded on this

XT[2] network. The XT[2]s are ganged together through a dual media sharing network (on the

one hand, the XNET[2] network based on high bandwidth SDTI, and on the other, the

standard Gigabit Ethernet network). Any feed recorded on one server can be reviewed,

clipped, and played out from any other server. This allows operators to exchange clips and

highlights with other operators, gathering all the best sequences and actions that will then be

transferred to the International Broadcast Centre in Johannesburg.

During the production of the matches in the OB trucks, the large number of In & Out XT

channels will be controlled by multiple systems, such as:

1. The MulticamLSM remote controller for all live slow, super, and ultra motion replays,

as well as multi-camera actions clipping, highlight creations, and closers. In addition, EVS

LSM controllers will be operated by HBS production teams to point offside positions of the

players through the insert of a virtual offside line graphic overlay recently integrated onto the

Photo: UltraMotion camera used for replay actions with LSM

[email protected]

system. In total, more than 150

LSM controllers will be operated by highly skilled LSM operators selected by HBS production

for the live „slomo‟ and related live replay operations.

2. The IPDirector for the multi-camera ingest and XT[2] network control, browsing, and

logging operations. In addition, a timeline editing module of IPDirector, IPEdit will be operated

by HBS for the creation of highlights and clip compilations. With IPEdit, HBS editors will

benefit from instant access and control over the XT[2] recording channels, with no need for

media transfer, encoding and decoding processes. The IPDirector is also used to manage the

transfer of clips and sequences onto third-party post-production systems used by HBS.

Live editing operations

A total of 150 MulticamLSM systems will be used at the different venues for all live replay

operations, including slow motion, super motion (3 phases cameras) and ultra motion camera

replays (EVS is used for all replay actions of Ultra Motion camera sequences managing up to

1000 frames per second). In addition, HBS LSM operators will be using the system for the

creation of on-the-fly highlights and closers played during slack periods or to illustrate

interesting actions happening during the game (e.g. goal, tackle, public emotion).

Best clip compilation and near-live timeline editing

HBS production will be in charge of compiling all the best sequences and replays at the

venues during the matches. These sequences compiled as one single feed (known in the

FIFA jargon as “Clip Compilation”), will be transferred to the IBC and ingested to the media

server to be available to all HBS and MRL production teams. The creation and gathering of

clips by the HBS teams in the OB vans at each venue will be managed with EVS

MulticamLSM and IPDirector clipping and playlist management tools. The clip compilation will

gather the best actions recorded on the XT[2] servers during the match, such as multi-

camera angles of goals, public reactions, super motion and ultra motion sequences.

[email protected]

In order to facilitate the compilation of the best

actions, replays, and clips, HBS teams working in

the OBs with IPDirector software will have access

in real-time to all logs created by HBS teams using

the logging interface of IPDirector at the IBC in

Johannesburg. EVS IPEdit (the new timeline editor

of the IPDirector) will be managed by the OB team

for the production of highlights and pre-game

sequences with transition effects based on full timeline editing solutions. Due to its direct

integration and control of the XT[2] servers, editors will be able to access multi-camera feeds

instantly and to add sequences and clips on their timeline with simple drag and drop

operations. IPEdit will be operated for short form editing, such as highlight and closer

creations. Because IPEdit also allows access to multiple channels across the entire media

network (up to two simultaneous timelines can be created per XT[2] server), HBS gains

speed and efficiency.

Live virtual offside line creation

For the first time ever, HBS will introduce the creation of virtual

offside line graphics to the international feed. The offside line

graphic overlay creation will be managed using the EVS Epsio

system. This new solution will allow LSM operators (using standard

EVS LSM Remote Controllers) to instantly generate a virtual

graphic overlay with automatic recognition of the playing field‟s limits. The operator has

simply to manually trigger the offside line with the jog wheel of the LSM remote to adjust it

properly. Due to a one-time-per-event calibration wizard, where each camera sends images

of the playing field with pre-defined angles into the system, Epsio is able to instantly and

automatically recognize the playing field during actions and virtually draw the offside line

along the borders of the playing field. This one-second operation is selectable with just one

button. The special preview of the graphic overlay will guarantee the availability of the offside

line effects when the director decides to replay the action.

Remote browsing and transfer from/to IBC

In order to increase the availability of multi-camera angles to the

production teams located in the IBC, additional IPDirector

browsing stations (IPBrowser) have been added to allow

browsing and reviewing of unseen camera angles right after

each match. The IPBrowser located in the IBC will be

connected to the IPDirector database located in the OB truck at

the venues via an Ethernet line. Operators in the IBC will be able the review each clip, as

well as their related (unseen) camera angles. The operator will be able to transfer the Hi-Res

clip back to the IBC for the preparation of news cuts and edits.

FIFA MAX & LOGGING

The media server: FIFA MAX (Media Asset

EXchange)

In order to expand broadcasters‟ creative

capabilities during major sporting events, HBS

introduced the EVS Media Server in 2006,

offering the HBS production team and

broadcasters 24/7 access to all of the recorded

media, including the director‟s cut, multiple

camera angles, ISO camera, and compilations of

best clips. Moreover, ENG footage was made instantly available for

production and post-production operations.

The Media Server is a fully integrated cluster of EVS production

servers. Built on EVS Instant Tapeless Technology, the media

server combines optimized hardware (XT[2] servers) and software

solutions to manage the exchange and distribution of media with

the maximum guarantee of speed and security, including indexing

(based on intelligent logging systems) of incoming feeds and

content, media backup and archiving.

For the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ in South Africa, the EVS media server, known as the FIFA

MAX (Media Asset Exchange) will manage the ingest and the exchange of no less than 3,000

hours of content in HD.

The production of 2 simultaneous matches at the beginning of the competition means that the

system has had to be optimized to support the ingest of 2 x 9 feeds simultaneously.

Logging operations

The content recorded on the EVS media server will be logged by HBS teams using EVS

IPDirector systems.

In total 8 logging stations will be used to add descriptive tags (logs) to the audio/video feeds

recorded on the FIFA MAX media server. Two loggers will be dedicated to the CSF logging

and to the clip compilation per match (in the case of 2 simultaneous matches 4 in total).

Three stations will be dedicated to the logging of ENG material and the MRL content

contribution imported onto the system. One additional station will be used for supervision.

ENG Crews Operations and Web Browsing

HBS will be totalling 40 ENG crews organized as follows:

32 crews following each playing team

8 crews spread throughout the host country gathering FWC related features, such as

match and fan related content, South African culture, sights, and on-site events.

All crews working with Panasonic P2 camcorders will send their rough cut edits and rushes to

the International Broadcast Centre on a daily basis, immediately logged and made available

on the media server for HBS production teams and MRLs to browse and download locally.

The rough cut operations will be managed with EVS‟ Xedio Dispatcher system, so as to

select, group, clip, log, and export P2 files - in the appropriate format - onto the Media Server

in Johannesburg. In total, about 20 to 25 hours of content will be produced and shared every

day.

In order to increase the availability of ENG cuts to MRLs, HBS developed a new web-based

solution offering web browsing and downloading capabilities for broadcasters. The so-called

“TV MRLs” and “Radio MRLs” are brand new customers who will be using new services

developed with EVS‟ XT[2]Web platform. This platform combines broadcast technology with a

web-server system and is currently being used by clubs, referees, and disciplinary

commissions of the Ligue1® in France.

The XT[2]Web system will offer remote video and/or audio web browsing and downloading of

ENG edits to broadcasters that have opted for either the TV MRLs or Radio MRLs services.

Once ingested onto the media server, ENG edits and their associated metadata (logs) are

14




[email protected]

automatically sent onto a secured web-server in proxy format

(MPEG4 H264). MRLs that are abroad can browse hours of

ENG edited content using keywords and descriptive metadata

to facilitate their search. Once they have found and selected

the media (audio/video or audio only) and dropped it into their

baskets, MRLs then have the possibility to order the Hi-Res file

either in SD or HD. The transfer operation will be automatically

managed using the SmartJog system linked to the EVS database and media server. Hi-Res

audio files can simply be imported locally via the XT[2]Web solution.

Mobile Highlights Production

HBS will be managing the production of a mobile feed delivered to FIFA mobile subscribers

via Telco networks. In order to offer high quality footage, HBS will be providing a fully

dedicated mobile feed. A dedicated production team will be working on the mobile feed

production. A special mobile production will be substituting the main camera feed with a

dedicated camera - also filming from the main platform - in order to provide closer shots and

action that offer better visibility on mobile devices.

The HBS mobile production will include:

• A clean feed produced at the venue

– Via a specific mobile camera mixed with other angles

– With an angle that suits small mobile screens

• A Feed sent to IBC

– A Clean feed used for the dedicated production of mobile packages

– A Dirty version produced for distribution

• With Mobile-specific graphics

• For dedicated distribution

Chart: Examples of dedicated Mobile feed compared to the international feed (source HBS)

The dedicated mobile feed produced at the venue will be ingested into the media server with

live streaming on the Apple XSAN server, allowing an FCP editor working on the Mobile

Content production (voice-over, editing, and specific team presentation) to work on the edit

during the live production.

Media Rights Licensees Browsing and Exchange Operations

In order to fully benefit from the exchange

capabilities of the FIFA Max media server,

MRLs have the ability to choose from different

browsing sources and to import set-up options,

including EVS IPDirector for low resolution

browsing on the Media Server, clipping, and import of Hi-Res HD clips (DVCPRO HD) locally.

Depending on the option, a dedicated HD XT[2] server will be installed in the facilities of the

MRLs (in the IBC) with an extra IPDirector for Hi-Res browsing and clipping.

Live 3D Production

EVS servers will be used as the central technology to the workflow for HBS‟ 3D live

production of the tournament. The server will be operated for all 3D camera feed ingest and

instant replay actions.

In South Africa both outside broadcast vehicles equipped to service the 3D production will

house XT[2] servers which enables dual feeds to be recorded and played back instantly in full

timecode synchronization.

The combination of hardware and software (XT[2]+ and MulticamLSM) renders all existing

capabilities of MulticamLSM available for live 3D productions including instant replay, loop

recording, live clipping, playlist management, live slow motion, cuing and highlight editing.

Recording on EVS servers will be managed in DVCProHD in the OB as well as at the IBC

where one extra server will be operated for ingest and archive management of the 3D

matches.

In total, the following EVS systems will be used for 3D operations:

1. Six XT[2] servers for each match produced in 3D (12 servers in total dedicated to 3D)

under control of an LSM remote controller

2. An extra XT[2] controlled by IPDirector and 1 XF[2] (removable storage) will be

operated at the IBC for 3D ingest and archive.
