5G Gaining Momentum In Broadcast, But Universal Infrastructure (And Experience) Lagging

The recent news that NTV has become the first Russian TV channel to experiment with 5G broadcast, one of many such transmission tests that have been conducted over the past 18 months, illustrates that broadcasters see a bright future in the next-generation cellular data delivery system.

The Sponsors Perspective: PRISM Waveform Monitors: Form Is Temporary, But Class Is Permanent?

In the beginning, there was television. And whenever people tried to make television programmes effective video signal monitoring was an essential pre-requisite.

Timing: Part 3 - Early Synchronization

Synchronizing became extremely important with the growth of AC power systems, which ended up being used to synchronize all sorts of equipment, from Radar to television.

Improving Headset Comms At Extreme Events: Part 1 - Ergonomics And Practicality

Core to any successful television production is the effective application of clear and precise communications. Camera operators, sound assistants, playout, slow-mo operators, and floor managers all need to hear direction from the production teams. Without comms, the production would soon degenerate into a chaotic cacophony of incoherent images and sounds.

Essential Guide: Cloud Microservice Workflow Design

The power and flexibility of cloud computing is being felt by broadcasters throughout the world. Scaling delivers incredible resource and the levels of resilience available from international public cloud vendors is truly eye watering. It’s difficult to see how any broadcaster would run out of computing power or storage, even with 4K and 8K infrastructures.
