It’s not quite game, set, and match for traditional broadcasters when it comes to sports, but the writing is certainly on the wall. At a time when content has become commoditized, meaning the old adage of “build it and they will come” has never been less relevant. How should OTT providers respond?
Switzerland has become the first European country to ditch digital terrestrial transmission (DTT) after its public broadcaster SRG has been allowed to terminate DVB-T at the end of 2019 without migrating to the second-generation DVB-T2.
In part-1 of this series, Challenges, we introduced the basic concepts of the technology behind live OTT delivery. In this article, we dig deeper to help broadcast engineers and technical managers understand the intricacies of HTTP and IP technology, so they will be able to design and support OTT systems more effectively.
Many broadcasters are seeing the benefits of IP and progressing ever closer to migration. But making IP systems work and achieving the COTS benefits CEO’s demand involves more than just understanding the technology. In this article, we look at the migration from the perspective of the engineers who are making IP work, where they can find the best and most reliable information, and how to make IP workflows operate with optimal performance.
Are you an IT engineer having trouble figuring out why the phones, computers and printer systems work but the networked video doesn’t? Or maybe you have 10-15 years of experience with video production equipment but really don’t understand why the rack room is filled with things called “switches.” Help for both levels of expertise is just ahead.
As broadcasters migrate to IP, the spotlight is focusing more and more on IT infrastructure. Quietly in the background, IT has been making unprecedented progress in infrastructure design to deliver low latency high-speed networks, and new highly adaptable business models, to make real-time video and audio work in IT infrastructures.
Network Interface Cards (NIC’s) are often seen as the bottleneck of data processing for ST2110 and ST2022-6. IT manufacturers have witnessed similar challenges with high speed trading and 5G networks but have been able to provide real-time solutions to overcome latency and blocking. In this article, we investigate IT’s achievements and how they are applicable to broadcast television.
Riding on the back of IT innovation allows broadcasters to benefit from virtualization. In this article, we investigate those benefits and learn how they apply to television. Especially as we learn of the new trailblazers waiting in the wings.
