Live Sports & Monetization: Part 3 - The Rise Of Niche Sports Channels Across almost every meaningful metric, niche sports are growing faster than their mainstream cousins. Broadcasters are keeping pace by building business models to match.
The Changing Face Of Live Sports: Part 1 - The Rise Of Nimble Production Live sports broadcasting has always been the preserve of big leagues and big broadcasters with the infrastructure, the clout and the resources to match. But it is no longer the only game in town.
Virtual Production For Broadcast: The Magic Of Subframe Technology Subframe technology solves a fundamental challenge in virtual production, enabling LED video walls to display different images to multiple cameras at the same time. This allows each camera in a multi-camera setup to see its own perspective-correct background on a single LED wall.
Standards: Audio - High Efficiency Audio Codecs (HE-AAC) HE-AAC builds on the foundations of AAC to deliver near CD-quality audio at bitrates as low as 32 kbps, making it the codec of choice for mobile TV, digital radio and low-bandwidth streaming. This guide unpacks the key technologies behind its efficiency gains.
IP Security For Broadcasters 2026 – The Psychology Of Security As engineers and technologists, it’s easy to become bogged down in the technical solutions that maintain high levels of computer security. But as the boundaries between traditional broadcast engineering and IT continue to dissolve, the first port of call in designing any secure system should be to consider the user.
Standards: Audio - Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) AAC succeeded MP3 by delivering better quality at lower bitrates. This guide examines how it works, compares the leading encoder implementations, and explains where it sits within the broader MPEG audio standards landscape.
Broadcast Standards - The Science Of AI: New Foundations We begin this series with the foundational building blocks of AI. Basic principles, the technology stack and the types of AI based upon it, and how to apply them effectively in a broadcasting enterprise.
IP Security For Broadcasters - The Book 2026 Security is everyone’s problem. It is not just about having the right policies in place or knowing where the vulnerabilities in your network are; it’s about understanding how the network is accessed and by whom, and how to strike a balance between ease of operation and durability.
Virtual Production For Broadcast: Video Wall Configuration How video walls for VP are built in detail. We discuss the fundamentals of the underlying technology as well as techniques to ensure proper color rendering and avoid flicker while maximizing frame rate and dynamic range.
Standards: Audio - MPEG Layer 3 Audio Coding (MP3) Launched in 1995, MP3 remains one of the most ubiquitous audio formats in the world. This guide explains how psychoacoustic compression works, explains the differences between MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 implementations, and finds out where MP3 works – and where it doesn’t.
