Machine Learning is having a massive impact on broadcast workflows, and this looks set to continue. But what do GPUs do? And could they be the Achilles heel of cloud computing?

AI is finding lots of new and interesting applications in broadcast television, so why should ML unconscious bias concern us?

Key to effective ML (Machine Learning) prediction is the accuracy of the data used to train the systems. But what is this training data and what happens when it’s not as accurate as we would like to believe?

It’s fair to say that cloud infrastructures are playing an increasingly important role in broadcast systems. But how do we leverage the true power of the cloud and why?

Improving the immersive viewing experience has been at the core of all broadcast innovation since the first radio broadcasts in the early 1900s. And as we progress on our IP journey, is the Metaverse going to take this experience to even greater levels?

Industry has been using metadata to streamline workflows since Henry Ford built the first Model T, all that has changed is the amount of data available and our ability to process it faster and more efficiently. With audiences making ever-increasing viewing demands, the need to gather, process and understand metadata is more important now than ever, especially if broadcasters are to keep their churn rates under control.

In this world of IP, COTS servers and SDN, it’s worth just taking a step back and reminding ourselves that video and audio is not just data, it has some rather special properties that make it unique.

Sustainability is continuing to gain scrutiny in the broadcast arena. But what does sustainability really mean and how do we measure it?

Improving workflows through virtualization and automation often requires broadcasters to write their own glue code. But in doing so, do we run the risk of inadvertently repeating some of the challenging cottage industry habits of the past?

The humble GPIO has been a central part of many broadcast infrastructures for as long as there has been the need to provide control. It’s probably the simplest form of communication and is responsible for triggering a whole plethora of live on-air events. But with the introduction of the NMOS-07 specification, have we seen the end of the GPIO?
