Will any new digital solutions on display at IBC 2022 not have an IP address?
Streaming dominates media supply chains far more than it did even at the time of the last IBC with a physical presence in 2019.
Long-range RF transmission began when radio was born. Will broadcasters need high power transmitters and tall antennas to compete in future TV content delivery?
IP broadcast infrastructures are delivering on their promise of flexibility and scalability. But as we progress on our IP journey, we are now discovering that an integrated monitoring system is essential.
While cloud-based, decentralized infrastructures are increasingly becoming an efficient way to produce and distribute live and pre-recorded television content, it all starts with a control room, physically located somewhere that must be staffed and sources managed with the utmost care. However it’s not only broadcasters, but also corporations, churches, and various industries that now distribute video feeds from live events still rely on production control rooms in their facilities.
The concept of remote production – moving raw content generated at a site event back to the main facility for production and management – has been rapidly gaining popularity in the broadcast world.
Driven in no small part by the COVID-19 pandemic, over-the-top (OTT) streaming has exploded over the last few years. In the United States, about 53% of households currently have three or more subscription video on-demand (SVOD) services, and 27% have five or more. And the demand for premium content anytime, anywhere, and on any screen only continues to grow.
There can be no doubt that the humble ‘throw down’ brick as our American friends would call them, (although we don’t recommend throwing equipment around) has played a vital role in broadcast systems for many years. Originally conceived as economical and convenient ‘glue’ to add some basic stand-alone functionality and fiber or format conversion to the periphery of a larger system, the capabilities of the now ubiquitous yellobrik continues to grow. This is the story of yellobrik, enjoy.
