Well-executed productions come off seamlessly to audiences, regardless of the delivery format, but their underpinning is complex. Today, crews often work with a host of high dynamic range (HDR) and standard dynamic range (SDR) cameras and equipment, each with its own color science. Achieving a consistent look often requires crews to be able to color match production cameras and easily convert between SDR and HDR standards. However, broadcasters can still encounter quality control (QC) issues, where the feed they output looks “off” and adjustments must be made.
Media Types describe the container and content format when delivering media over a network. Historically they were described as MIME Types.
Mediacorp, Singapore’s largest media conglomerate, has selected Lawo’s advanced IP broadcast technology for its alternative broadcast center (BBTC), reinforcing the company’s move towards IP-based infrastructure.
Welcome to Part 1 of Building Software Defined Infrastructure - a new multi-part content collection from Tony Orme. This series is for broadcast engineering & IT teams seeking to deepen their technical understanding of the microservices based IT technologies that are set to drive the next phase of transition from hardware to software based broadcast systems.
Part 1 contains four articles which discuss what Software Defined Infrastructure is, the infrastructure models it enables, how virtualization and microservices differ, how microservices form the basis of Software Defined Infrastructure and why they provide much better solutions for broadcasters, especially when considering scalability, resilience and security.

One of the great advantages of the internet is that it relies on open standards that promote routing of IP packets between multiple networks. But this provides many challenges when considering security. The good news is that we have solutions through IPsec (IP Security) to alleviate these concerns.
We can now capture video in much higher resolutions than we can transmit, distribute and display. But should we?
