Innovation in technology is rarer than you’d think. What is the mark of ‘good’ technology? Technology that endures, inspires and enriches?
Although numbers were severely curtailed, NAB was a huge success, mainly because it actually took place!
As we rapidly progress to another year end, we naturally tend to reflect on the past and speculate about the future. So which technology will dominate the broadcast landscape for 2022?
As broadcasters, we have had the luxury for many years of having at our disposal well-defined contribution networks that are latency and bandwidth predictable, but as we make more use of the internet, especially for contribution circuits, should we be even trying to tame the internet for broadcast applications?
Cloud processing is continuing to have a major impact on the whole broadcast industry, so does this mean the end of SDI?
We often speak of flexibility when transitioning to IP networks. But are we truly exploiting IP flexibility to its full potential with leaf-spine architectures?
There seems to be a blurring of the line between engineering fact and marketing hype emerging within our industry. We must push back to maintain high technical standards.
Over-the-air TV is headed into uncharted waters. Tomorrow’s market for new DTV transmitters, exciters, and transmission antennas is clouded by spectrum repack, ATSC 3.0 and UHD.
As more broadcasters adopt IP, build their own datacenters, and move to the cloud, do broadcast engineers and technologists need to brush down their coding trousers and look at software in a whole new light?
There was a time when any self-respecting broadcast engineer had their own collection of miniature adjusters taking pride of place in their shirt pocket. With dignity they would carry their own bespoke toolkit, the product of many years of learning, to deal with the intricacies of maintaining and repairing servo-controlled tape machines.
