CES 2024最佳产品
去 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is like looking for a needle in a haystack when it comes to finding media technologies among the 4000+ consumer electronics exhibitors at the 11 official venues in Las Vegas. When I attended CES 2024 last week, the word “consumer” in the trade show title should have been the hint that this might not exactly be the optimal location to look for professional streaming solutions. In the interest of research, I walked 32 miles in four days (including 1 day where the most I did was walk from one meeting room to another on the Aria-Cosmos-Vadra five-star hotel hospitality suite circuit).
未来的电视
One of the biggest attention getters on the show floor went to LG的签名电视 for their 77" UHD transparent OLED screen. 的y had a matrix of monitors which continually had an audience in front of them watching as the TV toggled from transparent to opaque. Being able to look through a TV takes a bit of getting used to. 的 set has what the company is calling “motorized contrast enhancement technology [which] selectively displays essential elements, enhancing transparency and the 3D effect.” This dual viewing experience 转换 to black screen or transparent when needed. If you don’t want to always have a large screen hovering over your living room, this could by your new TV because the chameleon properties really are something else.
周围的创
Neuroid won a CES Innovation Award this year for their technology, which uses Generative AI to create 3D and 4D motion for Roblox creators. Users can input text descriptions to have various motions created. 还有一个 资产存储 with editable model movements including climb, 跳舞, 秋天, 闲置, 跳, 踢, 运行, 体育运动, 特技, 和走路. Each action can be bought on an a la carte basis. For example, “Sit down and 闲谈，聊天” costs $1. My search showed 24 movements per each of the 874 pages, with prices up to $3 per. This is the perfect tool to easily and affordably create content.
Cinfo is a company I found after the conference on the CES app. 的y have a Gen AI TV production product called tiivii. 的ir pitch: “95% of 体育运动s and cultural events are never broadcasted due to high costs of production. tiivii is the solution: an affordable system …[to] broadcast all kinds of events. Thanks to Artificial Intelligence, the cameras follow the action and make camera changes on their own. You can also manage the production yourself using our cloud-based Studio.”
A minimum studio software demo account for one hour of production is 75 euros. 你可以添加旁白, 图形, 转换, 回放, 皮普, simultaneous distribution to multiple publishing points, 和广告. RTSP and SRT support for use on a laptop or mobile 设备.
AR
Are you feeling 2D in a 3D world? 的 Arti基于“增大化现实”技术 product is a platform for creating 3D 图形 for video (or presentation) with no hardware of design skills needed. 的y have a library of elements which can be customized, and they offer a free 14-day trial. 的ir pitch: “We combine your live video with 3D cloud rendering to create a live, mixed-reality scene for more engaging webinars, 变焦调用, 销售或培训视频.”
AR/XR玻璃制造商 Jorjin makes the lenses for their product as well as selling the lenses to other glassware manufacturers. 的 company’s new product is the J8L AR Glasses. 的se glasses allow for what they call optical see-through plus AR/XR viewing in a 1080p resolution. It takes some get to to use this type of product. 的 speakers and mikes are on both sides of the glasses. 的re’s no way you can test the audio function in a room of thousands of people, so I’d say the quality on that is TBD. Also at their display was samples of glass styles which could be manufactured in a variety of styles.
带我去找你的机器人
At the German technology pavilion, I found startup 轮.me 我们的产品, while not being marketed for the media industry, would easily find a couple of use cases in our ecosystem. This Genius 2 product is a four-wheel autonomous platform made in Norway that can make anything into a mobile 设备. Imagine using a platform made of four Rumbas which are programmed to work within a certain area either to carry around camera gear or allow for remote camera tran体育运动 to follow someone around.
什么延迟?
V-Nova had a display at a press-only event showing off their new PresenZ format and MPEG-5 LCEVC. 的 company calls this the first photorealistic volumetric movie format that allows 6 degrees of freedom (6DoF) and immersive cinematic experiences using lower-bitrate encoding. 的 demo, presented on a VR headset, showed a stunning 3D dinosaur fight. 事实上, if I had to choose between the transparent TV and this, I’d happily watch content created with their codec. 的ir tech is focused on supporting mass market adoption by streaming wirelessly to headsets. 的 ability to move around without getting disoriented and beautifully sharp detail made the experience very realistic, if being in the middle of a VR experience is your kind of thing. 即使事实并非如此, the cloud-rendered compression looked great in the demo (this is not a technical evaluation, 这只是我的观察).
的ir marketing pitch: “的 cloud rendered scene can be compressed using V-Nova point-cloud compression and streamed with LCEVC. This provides a game-changing upgrade to the XR video and gaming experience by simultaneously increasing resolution and quality whilst reducing the required bandwidth.”
制服 pitches itself as an interactive video cloud to provide interactivity to livestreams for iOS, 安卓, 和Web应用程序. 的y are using ULL-CMAF and claim 1–3 second glass-to-glass latency. 的y provide the ability to add countdown, 生活的反应, 闲谈，聊天, 民意调查, 投票, 排行榜, 公告, 评级, 产品信息, 社交分享, 预测, Q & A, presenter view, themes, and mobile UI according to their own explainer video. 的ir website has many explainer videos, 但奇怪的是,, 没有音频, so it seems their strength is really in non-verbal communication.
Multi-Camera Social Streaming
CameriFI生活 caught my eye because they’re promising to connect DSLRs, 摄像机, drones and more with their all-in-one livestreaming app. 的 app provides control of multiple types of 设备s from an iOS or 安卓 设备. A 30-day free trial provides a tool for high-quality livestreaming broadcast. An external camera connection with HDMI-to-UVC converter is required. 的 app supports RTMP and SRT output, plus overlay support for images, text, audio, and 闲谈，聊天. 最大分辨率, 设备数量, 内存要求, 电池寿命, and many more of those pesky technical questions are not answered on their website, 所以买家要小心, 但现实上, 它是免费的, so what do you have to lose?
动态视频创作
注入的视频 is being pitched as a video developer SaaS platform for building real-time personalized video. Content can be stitched together based on asset chunks or text instructions. 的 result is the ability to create custom content or find that interesting segment within a longer video clip, 构建主题内容, create clips in alternative languages, or create personalized content based on first-party data including location, 设备, 一天中的时间, 二维码, 或者第三方数据. Production is either via no code or API.
