Architects of virtualized media production
The broadcast industry is understandably focusing on the infrastructure of the future, and without doubt this will be based on IP. That said, broadcasters have invested heavily in baseband (SDI) technology for many years. They have studios and control rooms full of excellent (and expensive) equipment, from cameras and monitors […]
Historically, dedicated hardware has been the only way to achieve professional-grade, real-time media transport, processing and monitoring functionality. However, that is beginning to change with the emergence of products with an increasing proportion of their functionality provided by software on the market. Talk is now turning to moving to the […]
The Holy Grail of increased productivity leads many broadcasters towards IP technology. Its attractions include lower costs than broadcast-specific baseband, and its ability to handle any video and audio technology. Too often, however, broadcasters initially opt for a like-for-like network replacement, which denies them the cost-savings and increased flexibility of […]
Broadcasters must design their network using a true distributed model and control it using SDN routing. It is the most effective way to take advantage of the full potential of IP technology. Read the full article (in Spanish) here. Read the full article (in English through Google Translate) here.
In recent years, we have seen more broadcasters moving to IP-based production. This was initially driven by the anticipated cost savings deriving from using enterprise equipment, but IP solutions are now increasingly being used to transform workflows – sharing more efficient resources like studios, control rooms, equipment and indeed production […]
Meet Nevion at the stand 39 at ABU to find out why leading broadcasters, service providers and government agencies across the world rely on Nevion technology for their IP-based network and broadcast infrastructure solutions in the facilities, in contribution, and for remote production. At the show, Nevion will present the […]
When Germany-based content solution provider PLAZAMEDIA decided to move to new 800m2 premises, it quickly established that IP technology was the only option to deliver the scalable and future-proof media network the company needed in its facilities. Background In its drive to constantly improve the services it offers to its […]
Virtualized software is the inevitable destination of most broadcast production processing between the camera and the end consumer display. The only questions are how quickly the different parts of this process are made soft, and what physical technology and new ‘soft’ standards are needed to enable a full interoperable end […]
For a long time, professional-grade real-time media transport, processing and monitoring functionality was provided by dedicated hardware. Recently however, products have started to appear on the market with an increasing proportion of their functionality provided by software. This brings a lot more flexibility as the same unit can be used […]
When it comes to IP LANs, a lot of the current thinking is very much locked into the idea of a like-for-like replacement, i.e. building an SDI-like network using IP technology. This however, is missing possibly the most important point about IP: the network technology is now consistent across local […]
