As broadcasters and content distribution services continue to look for the most cost-effective ways to create and distribute content in the cloud, equipment vendors have shown the flexibility of their respective technologies to be operated remotely, with precision and efficiency.
It’s been over 40 years since Genelec started life as a manufacturer of professional monitor loudspeakers, and I felt the urge to reflect on how much has changed in the broadcast world in that time, and yet how much the role of a good studio monitor has remained largely unchanged. After all, you’ve always used monitors to make judgements about the audio you’re working on, and to guide your actions to reach a point where you’re happy with the resulting mix – haven’t you?
Will any new digital solutions on display at IBC 2022 not have an IP address?
Streaming dominates media supply chains far more than it did even at the time of the last IBC with a physical presence in 2019.
Long-range RF transmission began when radio was born. Will broadcasters need high power transmitters and tall antennas to compete in future TV content delivery?
IP broadcast infrastructures are delivering on their promise of flexibility and scalability. But as we progress on our IP journey, we are now discovering that an integrated monitoring system is essential.
While cloud-based, decentralized infrastructures are increasingly becoming an efficient way to produce and distribute live and pre-recorded television content, it all starts with a control room, physically located somewhere that must be staffed and sources managed with the utmost care. However it’s not only broadcasters, but also corporations, churches, and various industries that now distribute video feeds from live events still rely on production control rooms in their facilities.
The concept of remote production – moving raw content generated at a site event back to the main facility for production and management – has been rapidly gaining popularity in the broadcast world.
