Broadcast technology and IBC 2026 previews
FOR-A To Highlight MixBoard, Viztrik AiDi Enhancement At IBC 2026 (Tvtechnology)
Summary: FOR-A will showcase MixBoard, viztrick AiDi, the FA-1616, and Hi-RDS at IBC 2026, Sept. 11-14, at the RAI Amsterdam Convention Center. MixBoard, a software-based switcher powered by ClassX, adds PTZ camera control for the first time. viztrick AiDi, an on-device AI solution developed by Nippon TV, includes GoVertical! AiDi for real-time 9:16 autocropping for social media. The FA-1616 supports up to 32 streams, bridging SDI and IP, 2K and 4K, and compressed and uncompressed formats. Hi-RDS adds a primary layer to simplify network design in software-defined environments.
Why it matters: Broadcasters and production companies face the need to deliver multiple versions of content to different formats and technical specifications, often in real time, and these tools address that challenge directly.
Context: Most installations still depend on hybrid architectures, and the FA-1616 is proving valuable as a software-defined digital video processor in that environment.

Summary: Vinten will demonstrate its latest manual and robotic camera support solutions at IBC 2026, Sept. 11-14, at the RAI Amsterdam Convention Center. The company will feature the Versine 240 fluid head, introduced at IBC 2025, which supports payloads from 0 to 55 pounds (0-25 kg) and is designed for long-lens operation in roaming OB positions, touchline coverage, and live event production. Vinten will also demonstrate VEGA Lite, a broadcast-ready PTZ control solution that provides a single control platform for a wide range of broadcast PTZ cameras and robotic devices. Additional offerings include the manual Osprey Lite pedestal adapted for direct PTZ camera mounting, the robotic Tecnopoint Starter Ceiling Track for overhead PTZ movement, and the FP-188+ full XY robotic pedestal controlled by the VEGA Control System for permanent studio facilities.
Why it matters: Vinten’s demonstration of manual and robotic support solutions addresses broadcasters’ need to deliver more content from more locations while balancing crew, space, and budget constraints, as stated in the source.
Context: The Versine 240 joins the flagship Versine 360, extending a range designed specifically for every position without a box lens at outside broadcasts.
"Vinten will demonstrate how its latest manual and robotic camera support solutions are helping broadcasters deliver more content from more locations, using a wider variety of cameras and lenses, while balancing crew, space and budget constraints during IBC 2026, Sept. 11-14, at the RAI Amsterdam Convention Center." — TVTECHNOLOGY
