Welcome to the second part of ‘Designing IP Broadcast Systems’ - a major 18 article exploration of the technology needed to create practical IP based broadcast production systems. Part 2 discusses the different philosophies of IT & Broadcast, the advantages and challenges of integrating cloud infrastructure, hybrid systems, and the role of layer 2 & layer 3 packet addressing.
RTS equipment has played a key role in supporting RTV Drenthe with its recent infrastructure upgrade. The project has seen the TV station enhance its broadcast setup to become IP compliant and compatible with the SMPTE ST 2110 standard. A key factor in achieving these goals has been a new intercom solution featuring RTS intercoms at the heart of the system.
