The IP Showcase is a highly anticipated event at the NAB Show in April that annually brings together a myriad of companies with complementary IP technology that spotlights “real world” applications using third-party products. Attendees like it because they get a hands-on look at how IP infrastructure can be set up and managed.
There’s a terrible tendency in cinematography to concentrate too much on the technology, overlooking creative skills that often make a huge contribution. In the last two pieces of this series we’ve gone into some detail on the historical background to current camera technology. In this last piece on the art and science of sensors and lenses, we’re going to consider what difference all this makes in the real world.
As a long-standing systems architect and ICT integrator with 13 international offices that has designed and worked on some of the most high-profile broadcast facilities and live productions, Qvest Media is used to reshaping its business strategy to fit the current trends. Today, as the industry continues to migrate to cloud-based architectures and workflows that take advantage of IT-centric infrastructures, so too has the company’s service offerings.
Microservices enable broadcasters to find new ways to adopt, engineer, operate and maintain the value of their solutions. For vendors, microservices provides opportunities to offer what could essentially be a self-serve menu for clients rather than building bespoke workflows internally. The impact on the service that will be delivered by broadcasters five to 10 years from now could be dramatic. BroadcastBridge reports.
In Part 2 we looked at solutions to keep AoIP systems simple and discussed the compromise and efficiency vendor specific network systems provide. In Part 3, we look further into system management and network security.
Video compression, bonded cellular technology and cellular networks have evolved to the level that giant planned events like the Super Bowl no longer challenge cellular service adequacy.
Error correction is fascinating not least because it involves concepts that are not much used elsewhere, along with some idiomatic terminology that needs careful definition.
Computer systems continue to dominate the landscape for broadcast innovation and the introduction of microservices is having a major impact on the way we think about software. This not only delivers improved productivity through more efficient workflow solutions for broadcasters, but also helps vendors to work more effectively to further improve the broadcaster experience.
