So far in this series of articles the focus has been on the underlying requirements for successful audio over IP connectivity within a broadcast facility. The connectivity can be considered to be local; it is over a short distance, so the latency is low and it’s not a problem for the signal bandwidth to be high. In this situation the broadcaster has complete control over the network, including switch configuration and the routing of traffic over the network, so signal bandwidth and latency can be guaranteed.
Solid State Logic’s latest plug-in is a faithful emulation of one of the rarest recording consoles in the world: the SL 4000 B-Series.
In its European debut, Lawo introduced the HOME-native .edge (read: dot edge) Hyper-Density SDI/IP Conversion and Routing Platform. Each rear I/O blade provides 48 HD-BNC connectors for SD/HD/3G/UHD SDI interfacing, resulting in 192 SDI/IP conversions per 2RU.
Lithium batteries are all the rage on account of their low weight and high capacity. But how good are they really?

Modern broadcast facilities adopting video and audio over IP have found themselves working with thousands, or tens of thousands, of IP streams. Expecting humans to keep track of all these flows, monitor their quality and efficiently fault find is a virtual impossibility.
Compression is the ultimate enabling technology behind broadcasting. Without it, life would be very difficult indeed. In this new series, the whole topic will be explored at some depth.
