Part 4 in our series of videos from ‘Real World IP’, a one-day seminar event from The Broadcast Bridge held at BAFTA in London, Gerard Phillips, Systems Engineer at Arista Networks, discusses network topologies and ethernet switches.
What do a John Deere tractor, Bell telephone and Honeywell thermostat have in common? Each is a highly successful, user-friendly product that reflects the artistic touch of Henry Dreyfuss, a legendary industrial designer whose work focused — as he put it — on “fitting machines to people.”
Quantum computing is the biggest mathematical and computational breakthrough in the history of the known world.
Having looked at magnetic and optical storage media, John Watkinson turns to electronic memory with the emphasis on flash.
Part 3 in our series of full length videos from ‘Real World IP’, a one-day seminar event from The Broadcast Bridge held at BAFTA in London, Daniel Boldt, Head of Software Development at Meinberg, uncovers the mysteries of PTP timing and discusses how it relates to broadcast television, the key components required, and how it forms the backbone of any ST2110 system.
Now that we have resolved the professional media over managed networks aka JT-NM aka SMPTE ST2110 + NMOS challenge – What about all the field production, i.e. News, UGC, etc. that is beginning to use the wild and unruly Open Internet to send it back to the home office? Sending files back has different options, there are more than a few cloud options and accelerator solutions plus VPN and extended network.
Broadcasters are continuing to adopt and take advantage of IT working practices as they transition to file-based workflows. However, some seemingly effective solutions are outdated, have not kept pace with advances in computing power, and are unable to efficiently transfer large media files. FTP, for example, is tried and trusted but its 1970s design philosophy has proven inadequate for large media file transfer.
Apple’s new Mac OS Catalina is perhaps the most problematic major upgrade in the company’s 35-year history, forfeiting traditional ease of use and convenience in exchange for a bunker-like security state mentality.
