In the last article on Cloud Broadcasting we looked at the concept of “Cloud Washed” and “Cloud Born” and the considerations vendors must look at when delivering true cloud systems. In this article, we look more at resilience and cloud system up time.
In the fourth season of ‘Bruce’s Shorts’, Bruce Devlin takes a look at the Interoperable Master Format (IMF). Episode 3 answers the question, What is an IMF composition play list (CPL)? Those familiar with digital cinema will have come across the term CPL. Bruce explain what it means in the context of IMF.
The Hollywood Professional Association (HPA)’s annual Technology Retreat has been a mainstay of the TV broadcast and production and postproduction communities since 1993, when it was run by the International Teleproduction Society; offering presentations, panel discussions, roundtable conversations, and working demonstrations of technologies currently in use and those that are on the horizon. It’s been said that everyone who’s anyone in the professional audio and video technology field considers it a “must attend” event.
IP-based technologies are becoming mainstream in broadcast and production applications and are quickly taking the place of traditional SDI configurations. This is especially the case when it comes to KVM (keyboard, video and mouse). High performance IP-based networks enable KVM solutions to bring real time, accurate video operation to users, allowing them to switch between machines, regardless of distance and location.
Implementation of software in public clouds might not be as straightforward as it seems. Outdated software licensing models restrict one of the fundamental advantages of cloud systems, that is their ability to grow and shrink as the dynamics of the business demands, sometimes by the hour.
In the fourth season of ‘Bruce’s Shorts’, Bruce Devlin takes a look at the Interoperable Master Format (IMF). IMF has a rich vocabulary. Episode 2 walks you through it including the all important composition and packaging. IMF is standardised by the SMPTE as ST 2067.
Engineers facing the need to upgrade a facility have a choice, copper or fiber. There may be good reasons to choose either. However, as this tutorial reveals, the key benefit of installing fiber optic links include its wide bandwidth, which almost makes fiber future proof with regard to new formats.
The coming together of IT and broadcast brings with it a blurred and chaotic interface. As engineers dig deeper into the differences, it becomes apparent that there still is an important role for dedicated hardware.
