Welcome to Part 1 of Broadcast Standards – Cloud Compute Infrastructure. This collection of articles is the first in a new series which expands on the enormously popular ‘Broadcast Standards - The Book’ by Cliff Wootton. Over the coming months a series of Themed Content Collections will address specific aspects of the broadcast media supply chain from a standards-oriented perspective.
Part 1 contains three extended length articles which lay down the principles & terminology of cloud compute infrastructure, discuss the advantages of cloud compute systems, explores the various cloud compute architectural models, and describes the relationship between Kubernetes and the architecture it controls. It also tackles the core topic of timing and timing sources in cloud compute systems.
This series is a must-read reference resource for system designers and broadcast engineers seeking to deploy cloud compute based resources, as part of a standards focused broadcast production infrastructure.
A discussion of production network infrastructure and where the industry is in the evolutionary journey from SDI to IP with senior system architects within three of the most respected organizations in broadcast.
‘Monitoring & Compliance In Broadcast’ explores how exemplary content production and delivery standards are maintained and legal obligations are met. The series includes four Themed Content Collections, each of which tackles a different area of the media supply chain.
Part 2 contains four articles which discuss the challenges of monitoring delivery within a complex ecosystem that must encompass traditional OTA, OTT/Streaming services and increasingly, multi-format delivery to web sites, apps and social media platforms. We discuss how reliable delivery requires best practice monitoring of the entire media supply chain, multi-format workflows, the role of monitoring in monetization and accessibility requirements.
