‘Monitoring & Compliance In Broadcast’ explores how exemplary content production and delivery standards are maintained and legal obligations are met. The series includes four Themed Content Collections, each of which tackles a different area of the media supply chain.
Part 4 contains three articles which shift focus away from the leading edge of multi-platform delivery to the traditional technology of OTA broadcast. Estimates vary considerably by source but anywhere between 15% of audiences in the USA to 70% in parts of Europe, consume their content via OTA broadcast. High-power RF technology remains critical infrastructure. Keeping it reliable is still central to audience QoE and compliance is mandatory… effective strategies for monitoring are key.
About Monitoring & Compliance In Broadcast
Broadcast sets high standards for itself because in a highly competitive media landscape consumers expect flawless delivery every time. Broadcasters are also subject to legislative compliance in a number of areas of operation and delivery.
A robust monitoring strategy is key to meeting these interrelated requirements of ensuring performance benchmarks are maintained, and statutory obligations are met throughout the media supply chain.
This set of Themed Content Collections explore the challenges and solutions to establishing and meeting requirements in key areas of; cloud & multi-site production systems, playout & delivery, OTA RF systems and production systems.
A proliferation of delivery formats and the arrival of new production workflows and multi-site teams is being enabled by IP and cloud based production systems. The established landscape of monitoring is shifting. This series discusses the evolving challenges and new AI powered technologies emerging to help address them.
Monitoring & Compliance In Broadcast published in 4 parts. Details of all four parts can be found HERE.
About Part 4. OTA High-Power RF Systems
Article 1 : High-Power RF Fundamentals
The fundamentals of High-Power TV RF systems and how legislation and achieving reliable systems is often about more than just transmission.
Article 2 : Feeding The Transmitter
Achieving high QoS and QoE requires both ensuring the content of the broadcast is compliant and the connectivity between the studio and transmitter is robust.
Article 3 : High-Power RF Management
Here we explore some old school common sense, remote probes, and the role of SFN’s in achieving effective coverage in the ATSC 3.0 roll out.
