Vimeo Enterprise | Top 3 Features You’ll Want to Know

Exertis Broadcast Engineers’ Top 3 Features Countdown:

FEATURE # 3 | REVIEW TOOLS
Vimeo livestream to facebook

Feature 3 is about the prep work that goes into creating content using the “Review Tools”. Vimeo Enterprise is not just about the live content. Training videos, HR announcements, new product releases – anything and everything can be communicated through video. But before it gets released, you need a way to make sure the video is hitting the mark. Review tools allows the content creator to get feedback on the content before sharing to the audience. Click on any spot in the video and leave a note or comment for the creative team. That message is relayed back so the changes can be made. No emailing videos files or uploading to other platforms. When the final changes are approved, your content is already in its final destination.

FEATURE # 2 | AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT

Feature 2 is about audience engagement. With Vimeo Enterprise, you get tools that allow your content to engage with the audience while not in Vimeo. 1st engagement tool is embed codes. Content that is hosted in Vimeo can be embedded in other sites and application. Say, for instance, you all are using MS Sharepoint for daily communications. A video showcasing the next product release can be embedded in a Sharepoint page for everyone to see when they login in the morning. A teaser trailer can also be embedded in your public website and Vimeo will track and deliver analytics on usage.

For social media, there are tools for making GIFs, thumbnails, and trimming out clips that can be used to in social platforms, emails, or even your website. This way, if something amazing happens in a live event, you can quickly and easily create a GIF of that moment for all to see.

I want to give an Honorable Mention to a feature I can safely say YouTube doesn’t, and probably won’t ever, have: REPLACE. We’ve all been there. A mistake in the script that you don’t catch until after the fact – a typo, an error in the render – it can all lead to having to dump your video, your analytics, and most importantly, the URL associated with it. By using “Replace Video”, you can upload your video as many times as you want, and not have to worry about the headache of replacing the URL as well.

FEATURE # 1 | SHOWCASE PAGES
NDI Bridge explained

Feature number one is “Showcases”. Often, with webinar and event platforms, you only get a link to the event and that link only works while the event is live. There’s no way to get your audience engaged prior to the event. With Showcases in Vimeo Enterprise, the show starts the moment you create the showcase page for the event. You can upload teaser trailers for the event, and post video content that is related to the event topic. It might be interviews with the presenters talking about the importance of the event. No matter how you use it, the Showcase is a landing page that attendees can use to start their experience way before the actual event. The actual live event will be housed there as well, making it easy for attendees to know where to go for the live event. And all of it can be made public or private, so you have total control over your message and event.

Vimeo’s enterprise tools give you the power to effortlessly and securely share an all-hands, updates, learnings, and more, in real time, anywhere.

Canon’s 4K NDI PTZ Camera is On the Bench

Canon’s 4K NDI PTZ Camera is On the Bench

The Exertis Broadcast team put Canon’s CR-N500 (4K NDI) PTZ camera On the Bench and here’s what they found inside…

CR-N500

Canon has over 80 years of experience in optics and image capture, and that experience shows in their latest innovation: The CR-N500.

The CR-N500 produces incredible 4K and HD image quality with the combination of a 1” CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV 6 image processor. These core components provide the image-processing power and speed that enables 4K UHD video acquisition, image stabilization and precise Dual Pixel CMOS AF. On-air pan and tilt movement is possible thanks to the smooth and responsive pan and tilt mechanism equipped with the CR-N500.

Highlighted specs:
  • 1 inch, 4K CMOS sensor
  • 15x optical 20x digital zoom
  • 3 Built-in Neutral Density filters
  • Focal length of 8.3 – 124.5 mm (a 25.5 to 382.5mm 35mm equivalent)
  •  2.8 – 4.5 Aperture, enough for a creamy Bokeh in certain applications
  • 73 Degree Field of Horizontal view, 45 Degrees vertical
  • Dual XLR with phantom power
  • Power over PoE
  • 3G SDI, and 4k HDMI
  • and IT’S NDI HX READY!

Things we thought were most amazing.

Razor Sharp, Fast Focusing on near and far subjects. Fast movements followed by ultra-fast focus. Awesome Low-light performance and amazing color rendering.

We found even more awesome features in the Canon Web UI. LUT support, raw imaging modes, and all the image controls someone who has used a cinema camera or a Canon DSLR would be looking for. This is extremely rare for a PTZ camera. What’s even crazier? It’s priced lower than any other 1” sensor PTZ camera out there. This is what happens when canon takes years of experience and brings it to a PTZ camera.

If you are wondering if Canon has a dedicated controller for this camera, the answer is: Yes – of course they do. It’s what I’ve been using this whole time to control the camera itself. It’s a very responsive and easy-to-use touch screen controller makes tweaking the camera orientation very simple and lets you tap into one of my favorite features easily. That feature is called “trace”. Now, this and most other PTZ cameras have positional presets. Meaning, I push a button in the UI or on a controller that moves my camera to exactly where I want it to be. Trace allows you to record a complex camera movement and then allow you to replay it via a preset. If I want to record a slow pan and zoom across, I can record that movement. Then, move the camera somewhere else, and recall that movement I recorded whenever I want.

Canon-standard components, and a robust feature set aimed at creators who are used to cinematography, make CR-N500 the ultimate choice in PTZ camera. Houses of Worship, theater companies, sports venues, and concert venues could all benefit from the raw power and high fidelity image quality. Plus, camera operators and content creators looking for PTZ functionality with the same quality they’ve come to expect from Canon, need look no further than the Canon CRN-500.

How to Successfully Configure Your Port Forwarding

NDI® greatly simplifies sending high quality, low–latency video across your network. In more complex cases, though, another factor may need your attention.

To extend beyond the local network, applications (such as NDI Bridge) use network communication ports. Connecting to a local application from an external network requires targeting the correct port, and that your network router is set up to accept traffic at that port.

This is much like an office with one main telephone number, but many extensions. On a wide area network (WAN) like the Internet, the ‘public IP number’ corresponds to the main telephone number. Your firm provides a list of extension numbers, each matching one phone. Likewise, your network router exposes certain ports for external access. If the network router doesn’t expose a port, no-one can connect to it.

The NDI Bridge Host finds your public IP address automatically, and listens for traffic arriving at the port you specify in its configuration app. It cannot, however, automatically configure the router to allow traffic from the WAN to reach that port. (By default, routers expose a limited set of common ports, and are manually configured to use other ports for specific purposes.)

Port Forwarding

Exposing a port (or a range of ports) so an external network can communicate with the port used by internal application is called “port forwarding.”

To configure port forwarding, you just need to know…
