Modern broadcast facilities adopting video and audio over IP have found themselves working with thousands, or tens of thousands, of IP streams. Expecting humans to keep track of all these flows, monitor their quality and efficiently fault find is a virtual impossibility.
Compression is the ultimate enabling technology behind broadcasting. Without it, life would be very difficult indeed. In this new series, the whole topic will be explored at some depth.
In the final article in this series, we look at datasets, their importance and why GPUs are critical for machine learning.
Broadcast and remote production over cellular are coming of age in the 5G era as was evident at the recent IBC 2022 in Amsterdam. Remote production is being extended in the field by highly portable “5G in a box” systems, while for broadcast there is an active debate between two alternative architectures, one enhancing the existing mobile infrastructure and the other imposing an overlay via the HPHT (High Power High Tower) model.
Broadcasting is totally dependent on waves which crop up in a surprising number of places. Sound waves and light waves form the message, which is delivered by further types of wave.
Delivering determinant latency is more important than fighting variable latency, even if it is small. In this article, we look at how codec design and JPEG-XS can scale to make the best use of network bandwidth while keeping latency predictable.
Broadcasters and video service providers first embraced broadband delivery over the internet well over a decade ago, but have only recently started to embed this fully into their supply chains.
CDN Selection is a pivotal point in the streaming delivery chain that makes an important difference to the success of a D2C Streamer.
