Designed to halve the bitrate of AVC while supporting resolutions up to 16K, HEVC represents a significant leap in video coding efficiency. This guide explores its profiles, tiers and levels, and examines whether it can overcome the challenges of entrenched AVC adoption.
There are many ways that Artificial Intelligence is claiming to transform broadcast workflows, but they all have one thing in common: they all have to work seamlessly inside existing workflows. Telestream’s Alan Dabul examines practical AI and where it delivers real value across preparation, localization, QC, and distribution without replacing human expertise.
Grass Valley and Lawo have announced a technology collaboration focused on validating orchestration, control, and media exchange integration between Grass Valley AMPP and Lawo HOME. The collaboration is aligned with Grass Valley and Lawo’s open system approaches and supports the industry direction established by the EBU Dynamic Media Facility (DMF) initiative and the co-supported Media eXchange Layer (MXL) project.
Broadcast Solutions, a leading systems integrator and provider of innovative solutions for the broadcast media industry, is completing a contract to build eight outside broadcast units for TRT, the national public broadcaster in Turkey. The project, for two very large trailers and six mid-size rigid chassis trucks, is the largest single order for outside broadcast units yet accomplished by Broadcast Solutions.
Boasting two standalone courses, an intensive boot camp, and a hands-on practical lab, SMPTE Education has launched its summer 2026 Lineup of IP and ST 2110 Courses.
AVC remains one of the most widely deployed video codecs in the world, but navigating its profiles, levels and signaling mechanisms is far from straightforward.
IP networks are inherently unreliable. We kick off this series on IP Network Traffic Engineering with a look at how RIST and SRT give broadcast engineers user-configurable control over the latency-versus-reliability trade-off for real-time media streaming.
From 4K to 32K, the demand for ever-larger video formats is pushing codec technology to its limits. This guide surveys the landscape of video coding standards – from legacy MPEG formats to AI-driven neural network compression – to help navigate the choices shaping the future of video delivery.
