IP Security For Broadcasters 2026 – The Psychology Of Security

As engineers and technologists, it’s easy to become bogged down in the technical solutions that maintain high levels of computer security. But as the boundaries between traditional broadcast engineering and IT continue to dissolve, the first port of call in designing any secure system should be to consider the user.

Standards: Audio - Advanced Audio Coding (AAC)

AAC succeeded MP3 by delivering better quality at lower bitrates. This guide examines how it works, compares the leading encoder implementations, and explains where it sits within the broader MPEG audio standards landscape.

Broadcast Standards - The Science Of AI: New Foundations

We begin this series with the foundational building blocks of AI. Basic principles, the technology stack and the types of AI based upon it, and how to apply them effectively in a broadcasting enterprise.

IP Security For Broadcasters - The Book 2026

Security is everyone’s problem. It is not just about having the right policies in place or knowing where the vulnerabilities in your network are; it’s about understanding how the network is accessed and by whom, and how to strike a balance between ease of operation and durability.

Virtual Production For Broadcast: Video Wall Configuration

How video walls for VP are built in detail. We discuss the fundamentals of the underlying technology as well as techniques to ensure proper color rendering and avoid flicker while maximizing frame rate and dynamic range.

Standards: Audio - MPEG Layer 3 Audio Coding (MP3)

Launched in 1995, MP3 remains one of the most ubiquitous audio formats in the world. This guide explains how psychoacoustic compression works, explains the differences between MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 implementations, and finds out where MP3 works – and where it doesn’t.

Production–Delivery Convergence: Part 8 - Why Informed Creativity Is A Competitive Advantage

Every creative decision in the streaming economy has a direct impact on multiple parts of the production and delivery chain. It means media organizations can no longer work in silos, and in this final part we examine how understanding the technology not only encourages more creative decisions, but gives organizations…

The Struggle With Generated Content

Like every other industry on the planet, broadcasting is struggling to strike its own balance over AI generated content. In the first of two articles we discuss the challenges facing broadcasters and how digital forensics, online services, and the big tech platforms are all playing a part. In part two…

Network Traffic Engineering: Head-Of-Line Blocking - Why QUIC Changes The Rules

Head-of-line blocking turns minor packet loss into visible glitches by stalling entire TCP streams until missing data is retransmitted. Eliminating cross-stream blocking by multiplexing independent streams over UDP, QUIC might be the answer for OTT delivery, cloud workflows and the adoption of microservices.

Standards: Audio - Standards For Audio Coding

Audio coding demands very different tools and workflows to video, but the same fundamental principles around quality apply to both. This guide surveys the standards, codecs and container formats you need to navigate modern audio workflows.
