Ip Live Production: Status, Evolution and Best Practices

Abstract

How can television engineering chart a way for the transition from the current SDI technology towards the future of the workflow fully with IP technology? What are the current offers, best practices and next steps in this evolution? THE FUTURE OF BROADCAST FACILITIES: THE MIGRATION FROM SDI TO IT INFRASTRUCTURE ("ALL IP") Speaker: Matthew Goldman -Senior Vice President Technology at Ericsson / Fellow & President of SMPTE / Senior Member at IEEEIn order to become more agile in operations and leverage the economies of scale and flexibility that IT infrastructure brings, Broadcasters must consider migrating from broadcast-specific architectures to IT-based solutions. This goes hand-in-hand with the trend toward software-defined media processing and network function virtualization. This presentation will first give an overview of the challenges that Broadcasters face and the benefits of transforming to "All IP". It then will describe the major standards efforts behind "All IP", including the new SMPTE ST 2110 suite of standards for Professional Media over IP. The current state of the industry will be reviewed and what's to be done next.
