During the Belgium Cup Final, Sony, NEP Europe and Citymesh set up the first 5G broadcast test in the country, providing media group DPG Media an in-depth proof of concept on network-based workflows.
Here we begin to build on the foundations of the incredibly well received ‘Broadcast Standards – The Book’ with the next phase of our exploration of standards used in broadcast.
As we proceed, we will focus on a number of key topic areas; the growth of new ‘cloud’ (private & public) based infrastructures, the convergence of OTA broadcast with streaming services & multi-format broadband delivery, emerging new immersive formats, and initial ISO/MPEG work on AI. But first we pause to take a look at each of the different relevant organizations that create standards, assess what they provide and summarize some of their ongoing work.
In the previous article, we set the scene for working with the Command Line Interface (CLI) on a UNIX system. Now we will explore some techniques for performing basic tests on our network infrastructure to check for potential problems.
LYNX Technik is expanding its popular Series 5000 platform with three new 12G-SDI cards. The new cards provide reliable signal handling and advanced audio processing capabilities, helping customers smoothly transition to 12G-SDI infrastructure.
Our resident digital philosopher Dave Shapton asks us all to consider whether we know what is real and how much we value authenticity.
File based monitoring tools sit at the heart of broadcast workflow. As production requirements evolve to embrace remote production and multi-site teams, such systems must also evolve to meet the new challenges.
M-S techniques provide useful sound-field positioning and a convenient way to check mono compatibility. We explain the hard science behind this often misunderstood technique.
Being faced with an IP and file-based broadcast environment can be daunting if you are not already an experienced Information Technology systems administrator. This series of articles will help you acquire the skills one-by-one to monitor and diagnose problems from the UNIX command line. Then you can build more sophisticated tools of your own to manage and automate your systems.
