Broadcast Standards 2026 – Audio Coding Audio is central to the whole broadcast experience. While video can show us what’s going on, it is audio that tells us how to feel about it. If only it wasn’t all so complicated.
Production–Delivery Convergence: Part 7 - The Economics Of Ambition Streaming has introduced multiple viewer innovations and benefits, but there is always a hidden cost. Content providers must find a way to innovate within a financial model that can sustain their creative ambitions.
Network Traffic Engineering: Why MPEG-TS Is Still The Standard MPEG transport stream (MPEG TS) was designed in the 1990s to deliver continuous video and audio over unreliable, one-way networks, such as satellite, terrestrial RF, and cable, where packet loss and corruption are expected. But it is still prevalent in modern broadcast facilities, especially those using IP.
Practical AI For Broadcast Workflows: What It Means In Practice There are many ways that Artificial Intelligence is claiming to transform broadcast workflows, but they all have one thing in common: they all have to work seamlessly inside existing workflows. Telestream’s Alan Dabul examines practical AI and where it delivers real value across preparation, localization, QC, and distribution without replacing… Content by:
Standards: Video - High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) Designed to halve the bitrate of AVC while supporting resolutions up to 16K, HEVC represents a significant leap in video coding efficiency. This guide explores its profiles, tiers and levels, and examines whether it can overcome the challenges of entrenched AVC adoption.
Discoverability And Findability: Part 1 – Services Of General Interest In The Streaming Age In this first of two parts on content discoverability and findability we discuss the underlying issues and challenges facing broadcasters as they strive to stay relevant in an era of mass streaming and AI-based search. The second part will then drill down into the relevant technologies and how these can…
Production–Delivery Convergence: Part 6 - Designing Experiences That Viewers Trust Performance reliability is an invisible contract between a streaming service and its customer, and it is fundamental to guaranteeing viewer retention. The problem is that performance isn’t just about delivery. Here we identify where to look and why it’s critical to take a much wider view of the whole signal…
SMPTE Education Launches Summer 2026 Lineup Of IP And ST 2110 Courses Boasting two standalone courses, an intensive boot camp, and a hands-on practical lab, SMPTE Education has launched its summer 2026 Lineup of IP and ST 2110 Courses.
Virtual Production For Broadcast: Principles, Terminology & Technology The technology and techniques of virtual production, from the camera back through the video wall, processors, and rendering servers.
Standards: Video - Advanced Video Coding (AVC) AVC remains one of the most widely deployed video codecs in the world, but navigating its profiles, levels and signaling mechanisms is far from straightforward.
