The project employs the HaiVision encoding system to create a live composite image that incorporates participants from various locations. Delivered by Tokyo-based Hoei Sangyo Co, the HaiVision encoder is integrated with an HD camera (HD-SDI), a monitor, the HyperMirror unit, a chroma key mixer and a sound mixer at each site.
Peter Maag (pictured), vice president marketing & business development for HaiVision Network Video, told II: “The HaiVision codecs have been specifically designed for this type of application, delivering the highest quality video with the lowest delay to achieve advanced interactive communications. HyperMirror has encased this technology with unique video compositing to yield the most compelling collaboration environment ever.”
