Information theory can also be applied to loudspeakers, which are among the most difficult of transducers to design. Measuring the information capacity of loudspeakers is a useful tool. …

In the previous article in this series, we looked at layer-2 switching and layer-3 routing. In this article, we look at Software Defined Networks and why they are so appealing to broadcasters. …

Capturing the essence of a location in a single shot or series of shots can present a range of challenges for the itinerant DOP. …

We continue our series on Broadcast Audio Systems with a discussion about workflow with multi-award winner Robert Edwards. We look at general purpose workflows, and some considerations for different types of production across news, sports and chat shows. As the degree of complexity and stress ramps up as…

As parts 1 and 2 of this article highlighted, there are very practical steps available today for Streamers to reach broadcast-grade latency. Low latency protocols from HLS and DASH that implement CMAF Low Latency Chunking are the main proponents of 5-8 seconds of latency from encoder input to player output. …

Much of the attention enjoyed by virtual production currently goes to the spectacular stages with LED displays the size of half a dozen cinema screens. The material we put on those displays, though, can come from a number of places, and anyone putting together a virtual shoot will…
