Architects of virtualized media production
Within the broadcast industry, we have been seeing a progressive shift from baseband to IP and now, particularly within live production.

Right now, the most common approach to configuring virtualisation for media functions is to use specialised hardware platforms, optimised for performance, explains Nevion’s Olviier Suard. However, products with a larger proportion of their specialised functionality owed to software have recently become available, and systems based on commercial off the shelf […]
The adoption of IP technology across the whole broadcast workflow is now well underway. When adopting new technology, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking too much about products – and not enough about other elements such as infrastructure and control. This is certainly the case when it […]
