Deep learning technology is more common than one might think. This technology is used to identify objects in images, texts or audio, achieving results that were not possible before. This article will examine how deep learning is revolutionizing sports production to enable low-cost, fully automated production for semi-professional and amateur…
Object storage offers a new paradigm. As a data storage system, it is something that can be installed on site, but it is also the basis for most of the storage available on the public cloud. However, its use as a valuable technology in M&E — both for active…
The Satellite Interference Reduction Group announced that it is expanding its reach to encompass all types of innovation within the satellite communications industry. As part of that expansion, it has changed its name to Satcoms Innovation Group (SIG).
Looking to take advantage of distribution and cost benefits, many broadcasters have expressed an interest in migrating to full IP infrastructures. However, if you’ve got a full complement of baseband equipment and workflows that your team is familiar with, it might not be practical to attempt a complete overhaul i…
Most novice videographers can plug a microphone into a mic jack and get a reasonably good audio signal. However, at times, many get noise, distortion or an unusably low audio level. That is usually caused by mismatch in audio connection types.
The cloud has become central to many of our everyday conversations. Much of the discussion tends to go in one of two directions. Either people talk about the cloud in a general way, or they focus on what it could be, what it will be in the future. Few focus…
With a sharp focus on IP-based operations and the impact they have on a variety of broadcast operations and workflows, broadcasters are operating in one of the most dramatic periods of technological change that the international broadcast industry has ever experienced.
Broadcasters must ally over platform development and in some cases over content creation if they are to survive the ever-strengthening assault from the OTT giants under the acronym of FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google).
Broadcasters, pay TV operators and Telcos are failing to harness subscriber data and analytics to engage consumers and customers. Yet they rank customer experience as top priority and believe they must improve it to be competitive so there is a disconnect between their aspirations and current application of data analytics.
Fiber has been around the broadcast and media industry for a long while: SMPTE 311M, which defines fiber camera cables, was published 20 years ago in 1998. Engineering attitudes have tended to settle around the fundamental pros – high bandwidth, low attenuation so long cables – and cons – difficult to splice connectors and fiber may r…
