There is nothing worse than out of sync audio. We examine timing and synchronization in IP, baseband and hybrid systems from the perspective of audio… with a little history lesson in synchronization formats along the way.
TVU Networks, a pioneer in cloud-based and hybrid media workflows for live production and distribution, joined together with MediaLuso, a leading provider of broadcast and media services, to deploy TVU Remote Commentator at the 2023 Pan American Games and Parapan American Games in Santiago, Chile.
Getting audio sources to the right destinations is fundamental to broadcast production. From analog patch bays to SDI and onwards to the luxury of IP, device identification & routing interfaces have been a central part of daily life in broadcast.
Welcome to the first part of ‘Designing IP Broadcast Systems’ - a major 18 article exploration of the technology needed to create practical IP based broadcast production systems. Part 1 discusses the need to think asynchronously, layers & topologies, the need for shared experience, hybrid systems, and timing.
Eurovision Sport, the sports arm of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), took full advantage of its ongoing relationship with LiveU at the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships. Using solutions from across the LiveU EcoSystem, Eurovision Sport created agile, cost-effective and captivating coverage of the largest cycling event ever held, increasing the number of takers around the world for the event.
Ensuring consistency of lighting between the virtual world and physical objects on set requires controlling production lighting based on image content.
Across the broadcast industry, production and distribution technology have advanced at breakneck speeds, vastly improving the quality of content that consumers watch every day on their TVs, mobile devices, and other displays. However, on the backend, taking advantage of these technological innovations from a production and distribution standpoint requires a lot of time and research and development (R&D). With new ways of working come new challenges, especially as many emerging technologies are still getting their footing. Let’s take a closer look at what we saw in 2023, with a specific focus on security and encryption, latency, and IP.
Our series exploring the basic technology and tools of audio in broadcast continues with a collection of articles which discuss the essential technical challenges of routing, keeping everything synchronized and dealing with latency.
