Audio over IP (AoIP) has become one of the most important technologies to ever enter the media landscape. The protocol allows facilities to leverage today’s mature IP platforms for audio applications resulting in lower costs, faster installations, improved quality of service, all while creating a scalable and future-proof network.
It’s elementary knowledge that if water gets into any electrical system it is bad news. Though we may specify waterproof cables and connectors, sometimes moisture gets into cables in the strangest and most unexpected ways. Here are some tips on trouble-shooting moisture problems in cables.
The first commercially available helium-filled hard drives were introduced by HGST, a Western Digital subsidiary, in November, 2013. At the time, the six terabyte device was the highest capacity hard drive available. Backblaze, a major hard drive user, wanted to find if helium-filled drives are more reliable than standard air-filled hard drives.
In this series of articles, we will explain broadcasting for IT engineers. Television is an illusion, there are no moving pictures and todays broadcast formats are heavily dependent on decisions engineers made in the 1930’s and 1940’s, and in this article, we look at the most fundamental element of video – sensors.
Building reliable, flexible IP networks requires an understanding of infrastructure components and the interoperability of systems that run on them, especially when working in fast-paced, dynamic studios. Protocol interfacing is relatively straightforward, but as we investigate application level connectivity further, systems become more interesting.
Few would argue that more bandwidth for portable and mobile consumer devices isn’t a good idea. TV Broadcasting is the industry hardest hit to free up spectrum for the wireless broadband greater good of everyone else. But with FCC protections, broadcasters aren’t arguing about it.
A revolution in storytelling for TV, cinema, VR, and related forms of entertainment has just begun, enabled by artificial intelligence (AI). This computer-science and engineering-based technique, including machine learning, deep learning, language understanding, computer vision, and big data - is poised to dramatically shake-up both production and the form of future content for entertainment.
The adage, “Do more with less,” has been with us for decades. And when it comes to producing video content, modern technology actually makes that possible. Capturing a viewer’s interest requires creative talent. But today’s technology makes the process a lot easier and more efficient than ever before.
