To see why perfect synchronization can never be achieved, we have to look at relativity, which is the physics of co-ordinate systems.
In the action-packed and frenetic world of motorsports operations, crew communications at the track can be as important to success as the actual performance of the car itself. Monitoring telemetry from the cars and managing and distributing hundreds of audio channels has also become vital. It’s hard work configuring the required technology infrastructures on a weekly basis during the 11-month Formula 1 (F1) racing season, but well worth it.
In the second of the articles in this cloud microservices workflow series, we take a deeper look at how microservices are integrated into workflows using RESTful APIs, as well as reviewing storage deployment and accessibility “on your terms”.
For broadcasters to be profitable and stay ahead of the curve in this competitive market, they need to develop hybrid strategies with secure technology to accommodate remote workers without losing productivity. This was a direction the industry had been heading towards for some time, but the pandemic forced the industry’s hand at a more accelerated rate.
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.
Time base correction is an enabling technology that crops up everywhere; not just in broadcasting.
Digital audio interfaces were developed as a way of avoiding generation loss between devices.
The Need For Sync - In any audio environment where multiple pieces of equipment are being used together, it is imperative that they are synchronized. If they do not run in time with each other it will be difficult - if not impossible - to produce a coherent end result where everything fits where it is supposed to.
