Flexible remote workflows are revolutionizing live sports coverage, but they make getting material back to the production data center more complex. But we are all still in control of our networks, whatever they look like, and we have a raft of emerging standards to help keep everything under control.
Remote Contribution Network Design builds on our discussion of remote and distributed workflows in our popular Live Sports Production series of articles. Flexible remote workflows are revolutionizing live sports coverage, but they also make getting material back to the production data center in a reliable and timely manner even more complex, and modern backhaul technologies can encompass a variety of different transports.
Here we take a standards-focused approach to explore how remote contribution networks have evolved in line with distributed production workflows. It explores the technical approaches and relevant standards for backhaul, how they apply to different network design topologies, and how broadcasters can design PTP timing architectures to help deliver synchronization and manage latency.
Remote Contribution Network Design is a collection of four articles and is available to download below.

Article 1. Remote Contribution Models And Getting Content Back
Whatever your broadcast workflow looks like, choosing the right remote contribution model depends on bandwidth, latency, and backhaul options.
Article 2. Why Switches, Routers & Network Design Matter More Than You Think
For remote contribution, understanding the capabilities of different network topologies is vital for designing efficient contribution systems.
Article 3. East Shore Sound On Building High-Bandwidth Networks With MediorNet
How Riedel's decentralized mesh network enables Maryland’s East Shore Sound to simplify deployments, reduce setup time, and adapt to changing client needs.

Network Traffic Engineering: Why MPEG-TS Is Still The Standard
MPEG transport stream (MPEG TS) was designed in the 1990s to deliver continuous video and audio over unreliable, one-way networks, such as satellite, terrestrial RF, and cable, where packet loss and corruption are expected. But it is still prevalent in…
