Discover the Revolutionary Cloud-Based Video Production System 'mashup' at Inter BEE 2025!

The Evolution of Video Production with 'mashup'

The realm of video production is undergoing a significant transformation with the introduction of the latest version of 'mashup', a cloud-based captioning system developed by TV Asahi Create. Set to be showcased at the upcoming Inter BEE 2025 event from November 19 to 21 at Makuhari Messe, this innovative system promises to redefine the workflows in video production by enabling seamless collaboration among diverse systems.

What is 'mashup'?

'mashup' is designed to change the traditional methods of captioning production within broadcasting stations. Under the expert supervision of professionals who have been creating captions for television for years, this Japanese-developed system embraces a web-based architecture, eliminating the dependency on specialized equipment and on-premise environments for caption operations. Now, simply using a laptop and an internet browser, users can manage video captions with ease.

Redefining Caption Operations

With 'mashup', the conventional wisdom surrounding caption operations is being challenged. Previously confined to specialized hardware, captioning now becomes accessible for a wide range of broadcasting and live event contexts. The flexibility of this cloud-based system allows it to integrate with numerous external systems, unlocking unprecedented possibilities in both video direction and workflow.

Collaboration with Grass Valley's AMPP

One of the standout features of 'mashup' is its collaboration with Grass Valley's cloud production platform, AMPP. This partnership integrates 'mashup' into a global cloud production platform, enabling real-time editing and distribution from anywhere. Whether covering live events, news, or sports, the cloud's capabilities provide unmatched flexibility and efficiency, significantly enhancing video production quality.

Enhancing AI-driven Live Captioning with J-TAC Pro

Furthermore, 'mashup' has formed a partnership with the AI-based real-time captioning system J-TAC Pro. This collaboration allows for highly accurate real-time transcription using AI voice recognition. The generated text can be quickly turned into captions, making it suitable for a variety of settings, from on-site live captioning to online broadcasts. Attendees at the exhibition booth will have the opportunity to observe the operational capabilities of this integrated system firsthand.

Streamlined Node Collaboration with LiveUI

An impressive update also comes from LiveUI, a real-time caption creation tool. This user-friendly interface, optimized for intuitive operations, allows anyone to easily connect text data and images, facilitating the creation of diverse captioning styles without extensive development time. This system is designed under the cloud paradigm to maximize scalability, supporting various essential features like NDI/SDI output and web layer performance, even extending to multi-aspect ratio outputs for vertical screens similar to smartphones.
