IP connectivity delivers flexibility and scalability but making the theory work often requires integrated solutions that are adaptable, open, and promote interconnectivity.
It was late in 2018 when a major public broadcaster in the UK came to London-based 7FiveFive, a technology solutions provider, with a growth challenge. Their postproduction department had about 75 edit positions throughout the building working off a shared storage SAN and some orchestration for getting media in and out of the system. Files were stored in folders that were getting harder to locate and retrieve.
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.
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?
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.
