In the previous article in this series, we looked at layer-2 switching and layer-3 routing. In this article, we look at Software Defined Networks and why they are so appealing to broadcasters.
Capturing the essence of a location in a single shot or series of shots can present a range of challenges for the itinerant DOP.
Here we look at some practical results of transform theory that show up in a large number of audio and visual applications.
We continue our series on Broadcast Audio Systems with a discussion about workflow with multi-award winner Robert Edwards. We look at general purpose workflows, and some considerations for different types of production across news, sports and chat shows. As the degree of complexity and stress ramps up as soon as a live audience is introduced, part two will look at more expansive light entertainment shows which have audiences, multiple presenters, bands and egos.
Much of the attention enjoyed by virtual production currently goes to the spectacular stages with LED displays the size of half a dozen cinema screens. The material we put on those displays, though, can come from a number of places, and anyone putting together a virtual shoot will quickly encounter some subtleties that can make life easier – or, if mishandled, a lot harder.
In the last article in this series, we looked at SDP files and the importance they play in identifying source and destination devices. In this article, we look at why we combine layer-2 switching and layer-3 routing, and why broadcasters are moving towards Software Defined Networking (SDN).
While cloud services and remote production have dominated many conversations at recent trade shows, cameras and image processing remain a key part of any workflow. At the upcoming IBC Show, many companies will show new technology for capturing an image at its highest resolution and then converting it into a useable format for the variety of distribution platforms that broadcasters and content distribution organizations must support.
Streamlining IP based production, virtualization of audio production technology and enabling immersive experiences for mainstream viewers are key themes at IBC 2022.
