With the advent of camera-to-Cloud recording, will in-camera recording media be relegated to the dust bin of history alongside the Jaz Drive and the Sony Memory Stick? It could soon well be the case, but for it to happen, The Broadcast Bridge’s Tony Orme cites the need for a major change in mindset among industry professionals, a group understandably hesitant to abandon the tried-and true practices that have long paid the bills.

We are told that in the future all cars will be electrically powered. It is therefore quite natural that a broadcaster should consider whether outside broadcast vehicles might follow suit.
IP has succeeded in abstracting away the media essence from the underlying transport stream, and in doing so is providing scalable and dynamic solutions that are facilitated through cloud technologies and software.
The global high dynamic range (HDR) market is expected to surpass $126 million by 2030, according to Allied Market Research. The projection shouldn’t come as a shock to media and entertainment (M&E) professionals who have been delivering HDR content for platforms like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and others for years. Meanwhile, HDR-capable displays have become standard in most production and post environments and across consumer displays. With these developments, HDR has emerged as the preferred production standard, and with just cause; HDR enhances imagery in ways resolution alone can’t while making for a more dynamic audience experience.
IP is an enabling technology that facilitates the use of data centers and cloud technology to power media workflows. The speed with which COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) hardware can now process data means video and audio signals can be transcoded, edited, and transferred with speeds that are fast enough for real-time live and file-based workflows.
Compression is almost taken for granted despite its incredible complexity. But it’s worth remembering how compression has developed so we can progress further.
