Why doesn’t everything “just work together”? And how much better would it be if it did? This is an in-depth look at the issues around why production and broadcast systems typically don’t work together and how we can change that. If we do, there are untold benefits.
This 11 part series by John Watkinson looks at the scientific theory of microphone design and use, to create a technical reference resource for professional broadcast audio engineers. It begins with the basic principles of what a microphone is and does.
Our series continues with the ST 2110-3x standards which deploy AES3 and AES67 digital audio in an IP networked studio. Many other AES standards are important as the foundations on which AES3 and AES67 are constructed.
We continue our series considering technologies of the near future and how they might transform how we think about broadcast, with a discussion of the critical topic of training AI models and how this is potentially compromised from the outset by innate confirmation bias.
The LED wall is far more than just a backdrop for the actors on a virtual production stage - it must be calibrated to work in harmony with camera, tracking and lighting systems in an interdependent array of technology.
How bandwidth aware infrastructure can improve data throughput, reduce latency and reduce the risk of congestion in IP networks.
This is the first of a series of three articles which examine and discuss NDI and its place in broadcast infrastructure.
The decision by Brazil’s SBTVD Forum to recommend ATSC 3.0 as the physical layer of its TV 3.0 standard after field testing is a particular blow to Japan’s ISDB-T, because that was the incumbent digital terrestrial platform in the country. China’s DTMB and 5G Broadcast were dismissed at the lab…
Monitoring is at the core of any broadcast facility, but as IP continues to play a more important role, the need to progress beyond video and audio signal monitoring is becoming increasingly important.
France Télévisions was the standout video service performer at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, with a collection of technical deployments that secured the EBU’s Excellence in Media Award for innovations enabled by application of cloud-based IP production.
