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?
For advanced desktop video editors, simple plug-and-play direct attached storage drives (DAS) may not be adequate. For many such sophisticated small scale editing systems, an upgrade to multi-drive enclosures is more adequate. Here are some options.
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.
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.
Cloud services and virtualization are providing new ways of connecting broadcast systems together. But what does it mean to connect software?
