Tamga serves up JVC cameras, IDX
batteries and first-class mobile encoder
For distribution house Tamga, BroadcastAsia
is a yearly event to look forward to. The
company has participated in the digital
multimedia and entertainment technology
show for the past seven years.
“It is important and rewarding for us to be
present. BroadcastAsia is a relevant platform
that offers exposure for our new products
to an international buying audience, and
provides networking opportunities with the
right professionals,” says Micky Seow, sales
executive at Tamga.
“Technology in the broadcast industry
changes very fast, so we have new products
to showcase every year. Our products are
always well received by broadcasters, video

producers and video rental houses.
“In particular, we find that Vietnam and
Myanmar are good emerging markets.”
At booth 6G4-01, Tamga has put the
spotlight on JVC cameras and IDX camera
batteries. It is showcasing the GY-HM200
handheld camcorder and GY-LS300 cam-
corder from camera specialist JVC.
The GY-HM200 is a live stream-capable
4K compact handheld camcorder with inte-
grated 12X zoom lens. The GY-LS300 is a 4K
Super 35 professional camcorder that offers
filmmakers the flexibility to use high-end
cinema lenses or affordable glass to capture
2K/4K footage.
From IDX comes a premier range of
lithium-ion batteries and accessories for
the professional broadcast, digital cinema,
audio and video industries. The DUO-C95
is the world’s “most compact high-capacity
IATA-friendly” (<100Wh) Li-ion professional
battery with multiple power outputs — per-
fect for handheld gimbal and aerial set-ups.
It also comes equipped with two built-in
D-Taps and a single built-in USB output to
power ancillary accessories.
This year, Tamga is also introducing
Soliton’s Zao live streaming solution which
uses H.265 video compression standard.
The next-generation H.265/HEVC video
compression standard improves encoding
and compression by about 50%, compared
to the H.264.
The Zao-S is promoted as the world’s
smallest H.265 mobile encoder. With Zao-S,
high-quality mobile HD live streaming is
possible even in low 3G or 4G bandwidth en-
vironments. This makes it a first-class product
for encoding on the move and streaming live
broadcast-quality content reliably.
Go Live with Conax solutions
Conax is featuring solutions for live
TV streaming services, with dem-
onstrations of the GO Live com-
plete live-TV streaming platform;
and Contego-as-a-Service flexible
cloud-based content protection.
“The Conax solution provides
pay-TV operators with proven low
risk and record time-to-market for
deploying a host of live-TV services
with market-differentiating fea-
tures critical to gaining competitive
edge in the regional landscape,”
says Hans Kwaaitaal, senior vice-
president APAC & Strategic Partner
Management at Conax.
Marketed as a low-risk entry
for operators to advance over-the-
top (OTT) services, the Conax GO
Live completes live TV streaming
platforms for iOS and Android de-
vices. It is an end-to-end solution
that helps reduce the complexity
of time-to-market barriers for an
operator launching an OTT service.
On the other hand, the Conax
Contego-as-a-Service cloud-based
security platform supports DVB,
IPTV and OTT content delivery and
all major digital rights manage-
ment (DRM) technologies.
This platform is also aimed at
providing pay-TV operators with a
sustainable growth model through
low Capex, reduced operational
complexity (with operational secu-
rity managed by Conax), as well as
fast time-to-market for launching
new features, says the company.
Other products found at booth
1J2-01 at CommunicAsia2017 in-
clude the next-generation Conax
Connected Access IPTV platform,
where the platform’s security client
eliminates the complexity of secur-
ing IPTV and hybrid set-top boxes
(STBs), and enables management
of both conditional access and
the DRM security through a single
backend.
“The worldwide market share
of IPTV is very low, less than 10%,”
says Kwaaitaal.
“But this is growing. We see
more and more cable operators
use fibre-to-the-home for network
expansion.”
The Contego platform can
serve not only traditional cable
service, but IPTV as well, he adds.
There will be Asian-based ope-
rators deploying IPTV service using
the Contego platform this year,

Kwaaitaal reveals.
He also shares that Conax
recently sealed a deal with Shang-
hai-based chipset manufacturer
Montage, where Conax CAS tech-
nology will be integrated into the
chipsets.
“This would be very good news
for the low-cost STB markets, espe-
cially those in Asia-Pacific,” he says.
