A waveform monitor reveals more technical image nuances than most people can see on average video picture displays.
Virtual production capabilities are advancing at pace and will also start to become integrated into regular production schedules to reduce production times and costs. What’s more VP is being seen as a way to get productions that have been stifled under Covid restrictions to move quickly into production while physical sound stage capacity is maxxed out. However, questions still linger for content producers; principally around the higher capital cost of VP for early adopters and the urgent need to train and educate the industry in how to work with the technology.
In this new series, John Watkinson looks at all aspects of electricity.
In Part 1 we looked at how TDM provides a compromise to deliver the flexibility and scalability of IP, while at the same time providing the ease of use of SDI. In this article, we look at how TDM deals with latency and frame accurate timing.
Although virtual sets and even Augmented Reality (AR) have been around for decades now, the concept has evolved with the arrival of new display technologies like LED videowalls, which provide alternatives to traditional chroma keying.
Global supply chain issues continue to strangle the broadcast manufacturing industry with the issue likely to get worse before it stabilizes. An alarming 86% of broadcast industry suppliers categorise the impact as moderate or severe on their financial sustainability if conditions persist for another year.
It is a clear-cut requirement of IP infrastructures that all signal flows need to be conducted via an IT switch, or network of switches, providing an architecture that allows a virtually anything-to-everything routing environment.
Here we dip a toe into spectrum analysis. The water’s warm.
