Magewell has announced the Pro Convert Audio DX multi-format IP audio encoder, decoder, and capture device. The company’s first offering with integrated support for Audinate’s Dante audio networking, the new hardware lets users easily convert audio between Dante, NDI, and SRT transport technologies while also seamlessly bridging analog audio, software, and IP networks.
At one time broadcast television was inseparable from interlace, whereas now things have moved on, but not without interlace leaving a legacy. So what was it all about?
IP is an enabling technology, not just another method of transporting media signals. Consequently, it is giving broadcasters the opportunity to reconsider how we build live television workflows and infrastructures.
Microservices provide a mechanism to allow broadcast facilities to scale their resource to meet viewer demand. But the true power of microservices is released when we look at containers and orchestration, a management system that empowers scalability, flexibility, and resilience.
As broadcast and live production migrates to SMPTE ST 2110 based workflows, there is increased demand for equipment manufacturers to add IP capabilities to their products.
Flexible architecture opens new business possibilities.
Named after its founders Udo Guntermannn and Martin Drunck and now known simply as “G&D”, this established German company is well regarded in the industry for its KVM extenders, switchers and routing matrix systems. The products are all manufactured in-house, where they undergo extensive testing to ensure a high standard of quality.
In part one we looked at some of the reasons for the growth in adoption by next generation consumers, and how hardware and content production are combining to give more people better access to spatial content. Here we will look at some of the basics; how spatial audio is achieved, captured, can sound and can be spatialized post-capture, as well as what formats are required to manipulate it all.
