Exploring 5G and virtualization in broadcast production

Autumn 2021 innovation update

As the EU H2020-funded project moves into its final 3rd phase of work, we present an exciting update on the achievements to-date and all that is still to come.

Hosted by Nevion’s Chief Technologist Andy Rayner and featuring Logic Media’s Haci Cengiz and Sony Europe’s Norbert Paquet, we explore the key elements of the Virtuosa project and how it is helping shape the way forward for IP and 5G broadcast production.

Following the first phase of facility-based IP production testing, the project has been moving to Wide-Area connected fibre and 5G connected distributed production evaluation.

There are key technologies being explored in the media data plane and the media control plane, all focussing on optimising the way broadcast production is done in the future.
