If It Ain’t Broke Still Fix It: Part 2 - Security

The old broadcasting adage: ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ is no longer relevant and potentially highly dangerous, especially when we consider the security implications of not updating software and operating systems.

Standards: Part 21 - The MPEG, AES & Other Containers

Here we discuss how raw essence data needs to be serialized so it can be stored in media container files. We also describe the various media container file formats and their evolution.

NDI For Broadcast: Part 3 – Bridging The Gap

This third and for now, final part of our mini-series exploring NDI and its place in broadcast infrastructure moves on to a trio of tools released with NDI 5.0 which are all aimed at facilitating remote and collaborative workflows; NDI Audio, NDI Bridge and NDI Remote.

Designing An LED Wall Display For Virtual Production - Part 2

We conclude our discussion of how the LED wall is far more than just a backdrop for the actors on a virtual production stage - it must be calibrated to work in harmony with camera, tracking and lighting systems in an interdependent array of technology.

Broadcasters Seek Deeper Integration Between Streaming And Linear

Many broadcasters have been revising their streaming strategies with some significant differences, especially between Europe with its stronger tilt towards the internet and North America where ATSC 3.0 is designed to sustain hybrid broadcast/broadband delivery.

Microphones: Part 2 - Design Principles

Successful microphones have been built working on a number of different principles. Those ideas will be looked at here.

Expanding Display Capabilities And The Quest For HDR & WCG

Broadcast image production is intrinsically linked to consumer displays and their capacity to reproduce High Dynamic Range and a Wide Color Gamut.
