At the beginning of 2017, EMG launched a program called OBjective
2020, aimed at designing a new concept for future media production
solutions. "What we wanted to achieve was a triple-A solution to
produce content Anywhere, Anyhow, Any size. Our goal was to cover
both remote production and on site production and to be able to do
anything between a small HD production and the biggest UHD show one
can think of," says Ronald Meyvisch, CTO of the Euro Media Group.

In order to achieve this, the concept needed to be modular and
scalable and therefore IP based. Following a data-centre approach,
applications can be deployed in a flexible way, according to needs,
on an FPGA based platform connected via an extensive network. On this
network, quality of service, bandwidth control and full control of
the routing are guaranteed.

"In Axon, we found the partner who could provide us both the
state-of-the-art and future-proof control system (Axon's Cerebrum
control and monitoring solution) as well as a very powerful IP-based
video/audio processing platform that will deliver the necessary
processing power and gateways to support this distributed media
infrastructure we had in mind," says Meyvisch.

As the system can be used in OB trucks, fixed installations as
well as flight packs, the first solutions being built following the
OBjective 2020 philosophy will be operational at the beginning of
2018 in UHD. Later in the year, EMG plans the roll out of several OB
trucks, as well as the renewal of the Italian sports media remote
production centre of 3Zero2 - all based on the same technology and
concept.

As Patrick van den Berg, CFO of EMG puts it: "Thanks to IP, we are
now able to harmonise the core technology used in EMG for media
production, thus allowing us to share the hardware and exchange the
people between our different entities in order to increase our
operational efficiency. This is of strategic importance for our group
in order to stay ahead of the competition and respond to the market
demand for cost effective and flexible solutions."

Jan Eveleens, CEO of Axon concludes by stating that: "We are
delighted to be working so closely with EMG as strategic technology
partner over the coming years, supporting their organisation as it
revolutionises media production and leads the way in the successful
deployment of IP infrastructure in live broadcast. This partnership
also confirms Axon's strategic vision as the requirements of EMG for
their OBjective 2020 were a direct match with Axon's on-going product
development program and roadmap."
