Hybrid Network Technologies At IBC 2025
As the 2025 IBC Show approaches, here we pick up the key theme of hybrid production network infrastructure that combines SDI-IP network technologies with a run-down of what to expect from vendors on the show floor.
Network Infrastructure is the vital core of broadcast systems. It is the means by which we connect, control, monitor and exchange data between the entire ecosystem of devices. It is a continually evolving combination of old and new technologies, always complex and always a busy area of technology on any trade show floor.
Below you will find our selection of the IBC Show specific press releases sent to us by vendors who are exhibiting network technologies - for us here that means the following technology areas:
- Gateway products that interconnect SDI infrastructure with IP infrastructure.
- Software tools used to orchestrate and manage devices.
- Tools to manage & monitor network infrastructure and network essence & metadata flows.
- Timing & Tally infrastructure.
The press releases listed below are what we have received to date - we will add new items as they come in.
