Producing instant replay of live televised sporting events is always a fast-paced and demanding endeavor. Reliability, instant responsiveness, superior image quality and interoperability within the production workflow are critical requirements.
Mira INSTANT REPLAY takes on these tasks and more—since this model of Mira is optimized to handle the very high bandwidth demands of non-stop recording from multiple cameras, with simultaneous instant replay on one or two output video channels.
Mira has LIVE INSTANT REPLAY Covered
A multitude of features are tailored to provide comprehensive, fast and efficient instant replay operations:
Active Instant Replay into recorded live video streams provides quick and simple instant replay without the need to "clip off" anything.
Live Input Camera Switching on the active replay channel allows instant live switching between recorded camera angles during live replay or during clip playback, which streamlines replay operations.
Flexible “Clipping” Operations with four methods of clipping off content provided, including one in which IN and OUT points can be auto-marked and the clip saved with just one button press.
List Play provides the ability to stack up clips in the order defined, and to play them out with cuts or dissolves between clips.
Highlights Melt with high-speed media file export gets highlights clip content from any number of play lists into self-contained media files with MOV & MXF file wrappers. File encoding uses popular video codecs that are widely adopted throughout the television industry.
FLEXIBLE OPERATIONS for Live Instant Replay
The video hardware in Mira can be instantly configured by the user to fit the live instant replay needs of the day:
Two to Six Cameras can be continuously recorded without interruption, with one or two replay video channels. Both cut and dissolve transitions between two replay channels are supported.
Stereoscopic 3D is a standard feature in every Mira INSTANT REPLAY server. With just a click of a mouse, you’ll be operating Mira in 3D.
PVW/PGM or PGM/PGM Operation is crucial; some replay operators prefer “PVW/PGM” output with cuts and dissolves in the replay server; others want “PGM/PGM” output with cuts and dissolves taking place in the downstream vision mixer. Mira INSTANT REPLAY handles both styles of replay operation.
Super Slow Motion Cameras are recorded with optional software in the Mira INSTANT REPLAY server. Both “2X” and “3X” super slow motion cameras are supported. In the 8-channel server, two 3X cameras with two replay channels with dissolves is possible.
