In layman’s terms, SRT is an open-source video transport protocol that enables the delivery of high quality and secure, low latency video over the public internet. In more technical terms, it fixes jitter effects and bandwidth changes as a video is being streamed, while minimizing packet loss.
In the previous article in this series, we looked at the challenges of streaming media for broadcasters, and in this article, we look at how specialized CDNs designed specifically for broadcast television delivers a greatly improved streaming experience for viewers.
“If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen,” U.S. president Harry S. Truman famously said. But when there’s a cooking show to produce, audio engineers have no alternative but to improvise.
Media streaming over the internet is unique. Packet switched networks were never designed to deliver continuous and long streams of media but instead were built to efficiently process transactional and short bursts of data. The long streams of video and audio data are relentless in their network demands and to distribute them effectively requires the adoption of specialist CDNs.
In the previous article in this series, we looked at the advantages of software-KVM and how it differs from some of the VPN solutions available. In this article, we look at further improving security through end-to-end solutions.
As users return to the studio and office the need to work remotely is more powerful now than ever. Hybrid is the new way of working and computing innovation is rising to the challenge to provide broadcast users with easy to use, and secure operations from their local PC/Workstation.
Why Should You Conform? There has always been a necessity for different pieces of technical equipment to work together. As time moved on and technologies evolved, that requirement has called for both more complexity and greater harmonisation. In audio this was relatively straightforward when everything was analogue. The major challenge at that time was finding the right connector or, if necessary, adaptor.
With this year’s Super Bowl LVI telecast coming smack dab in the middle of the Winter Olympics, NBC Sports crews will have their hands full.
