IP is an enabling technology that allows broadcasters to integrate software solutions into their workflows. However, the plethora of SDI and IP workflows that are now coexisting in broadcast infrastructures means that technologists and engineers must look for new methods when designing their facilities, especially when considering the real-time nature…
This is the first of a multi-part series exploring the science and practical applications of RF technology in broadcast.
Recognizing that a 53-foot expanding mobile unit is often out of reach financially for many tier 2 sporting events - e.g., women’s college volleyball or professional pickleball - production companies that offer such high-end resources are expanding their horizons with lower cost, highly portable and as-needed options that fit t…

All devices on a network are referred to as ‘hosts’ and they all need to be configured correctly.
RESTful APIs are the cornerstone of communications between users and microservices. Building efficient, flexible, and resilient interfaces relies on a deeper understanding of how internet services communicate.
In March 2023 ‘JOLED’ filed for bankruptcy protection marking yet another chapter in the troubled tale of using OLED technology for high quality displays.
Image compression depends heavily on transforms and there are a number of these. The criteria for selecting a transform include appropriateness for the type of images to be coded and computational complexity.
Broadcast television is a 24/7 mission critical operation and resilience has always been at the heart of every infrastructure design. However, as broadcasters continue to embrace IP and cloud production systems, we need to take a different look at how we assess risk.
