As the IP revolution continues to gain momentum and more broadcast facilities take advantage of the fantastic and unprecedented opportunities IT delivers, administrators and system designers must master the complex aspects of data storage.
In a world of 10-fold increases in complexity automation is the key to survival. Not just automation, “service orchestration” is the new approach needed to manage internal and external hardware and software in order to make the best use of in-house resources and leverage third-party providers.
As broadcasters continue to successfully migrate video and audio to IP, attention soon turns to control, interoperability, and interconnectivity to improve reliability and efficiency. In this article, we investigate IP control as we move to IP infrastructures.
One measure of the performance of a data storage device is the cost per bit. Simple economics forces a constant improvement in density that allows more data in the same space. John Watkinson looks at what the limits are and to see which are fundamental and which can be pushed…
Thanks to improved streaming technology, a lot more fans are going to be watching the Super Bowl on mobile screens.
Video consumers are still reluctant to embrace more secure authentication methods than traditional passwords despite mounting fears over identity theft and intrusion into privacy.
Mix bus processing is using EQ, compressors and limiters on the output bus of an audio mixer. It can be stereo or mono, real or virtual and is used on the entire audio mix. These processors are used to “glue” the mix together, to make it punchier and to fix any…
New technologies with more bandwidth make the bonded cellular video connections at Atlanta Super Bowl more reliable and stable.
Broadcast systems are renowned for their high speed and high capacity data demands. Up to recently, they relied on bespoke hardware solutions to deliver the infrastructure required for live real-time uncompressed video. But new advances in IT data storage have now opened the doors for broadcasters to take advantage of…
Super Bowl 2019 will raise the bar for live broadcasting technology with innovations in augmented reality (AR) and use of at least one 8K camera, while also highlighting past innovations that have fallen out of favor.
