Broadcasting used to be simple. It required one TV station sending one signal to multiple viewers. Everyone received the same imagery at the same time. That was easy.
As we migrate to IP, broadcasters are thinking about how they will interface their SDI, MADI, and AES systems together. Many see the benefit of IP and one day all devices will be IP-enabled. But until that time arrives, we need to understand how to interface new and old together. In this article we investigate real applications on how to connect existing and new technologies.
Throughout this series of articles, we’ve been investigating the detail of how OTT internet delivery works. In this article, we dig deeper into the operational systems, and investigate the additional benefits and necessity of monitoring.
Broadcast television has witnessed many advances in technology since the first electronic images were transmitted in the 1930’s, and none have been as influential or disruptive as IP. But are we now at the dawn of the perfect win-win outcome? Can manufacturers, entrepreneurs, and broadcasters all equally gain from IP migration?
