In the previous article in this series, we looked at layer-2 switching and layer-3 routing. In this article, we look at Software Defined Networks and why they are so appealing to broadcasters.
Capturing the essence of a location in a single shot or series of shots can present a range of challenges for the itinerant DOP.
It was late in 2018 when a major public broadcaster in the UK came to London-based 7FiveFive, a technology solutions provider, with a growth challenge. Their postproduction department had about 75 edit positions throughout the building working off a shared storage SAN and some orchestration for getting media in and out of the system. Files were stored in folders that were getting harder to locate and retrieve.
Here we look at some practical results of transform theory that show up in a large number of audio and visual applications.
Machine learning is often compared to the human brain. But what do they really have in common?
We continue our series on Broadcast Audio Systems with a discussion about workflow with multi-award winner Robert Edwards. We look at general purpose workflows, and some considerations for different types of production across news, sports and chat shows. As the degree of complexity and stress ramps up as soon as a live audience is introduced, part two will look at more expansive light entertainment shows which have audiences, multiple presenters, bands and egos.
In the last article in this series, we looked at SDP files and the importance they play in identifying source and destination devices. In this article, we look at why we combine layer-2 switching and layer-3 routing, and why broadcasters are moving towards Software Defined Networking (SDN).
While cloud services and remote production have dominated many conversations at recent trade shows, cameras and image processing remain a key part of any workflow. At the upcoming IBC Show, many companies will show new technology for capturing an image at its highest resolution and then converting it into a useable format for the variety of distribution platforms that broadcasters and content distribution organizations must support.
