Networks, by their very definition are dispersed. But some are more dispersed than others, especially when we look at the challenges multi-site and remote teams face.
As the adoption of sustainable and cost-effective remote and distributed production workflows continues to develop, the ability to control any system from anywhere creates an incredibly agile way to work. Providing access to more cores, more faders, more surfaces, and more control from any location gives users ultimate flexibility delivering content to air. To help broadcasters take full advantage of these workflows, Calrec will demonstrate a mix of new products, expanded feature sets and distributed control.
Videlio Events, a leading French systems integrator, has successfully deployed Riedel’s MediorNet HorizoN platform to create innovative hybrid SDI/IP production environments. Videlio has implemented three standalone flyaway video control rooms built around MediorNet HorizoN, which provides IP gateways and UDX & SDR/HDR conversion, alongside MediorNet MicroN UHD for routing and multiviewing. Building on a partnership that has spanned over a decade, this deployment marks a significant milestone in the broadcast industry’s transition to IP-based workflows while maintaining the reliability of traditional SDI systems.
Key audio themes at NAB 2025 remain persistently familiar – remote workflows, distributed teams, and ultra-efficiency… and of course AI. These themes have been around for a long time now but the audio community always seems to find very new ways of delivering, so expect innovation a plenty on the show floor.
We return to the high pressure world of the Production Control Room where Switchers, Replay and Graphics are always at the heart of the action. The 2025 NAB Show will bring a myriad of new feature releases and opportunities for hands-on evaluation of how this years technology evolution feels for the operator.
The technology required to get high quality content from the venue to the viewer for live sports production remains an area of intense research and development, so there will be plenty of innovation and expertise in this area on the NAB 2025 show floor.
In the evolving world of audiovisual technology, the shift to Audio over IP (AoIP) is revolutionizing how we transmit and manage sound. AoIP refers to the technology used to transmit high-quality audio over standard IP networks, eliminating the need for traditional audio cables and providing an efficient, scalable, and cost-effective solution for modern audio distribution. This advancement offers significant advantages in terms of flexibility, interoperability, and ease of deployment, making it a key technology for industries such as live sound, broadcasting, film production, corporate AV, and more.
In a significant step towards planning first commercial service across the European continent, the 5G Broadcast Strategic Task Force (5BSTF) – comprising Media Broadcast (Germany), TDF (France), Cordiant Capital (UK), Emitel (Poland), CRA (Czech Republic), BTCY (Belgium), and RAI (Italy), supported by Rohde & Schwarz (Germany), is driving the development of a joint commercial roadmap across six European markets representing more than 270 million people.
