Reconfigurable optical star network architecture for multicast media production data centres

“…This would suggest S has at least three member sub-stars, containing 1, 3 and 5 respectively. However, C shows that input couplers 3 and 5 have an output coupler in common (coupler 4), so they must be part of the same sub-star; S must include [1] and [3,5]. Stage III of the algorithm analyses all possible pairs of members of list L, alongside C, so that a full map of sub-star connectivity can be constructed.…”

“…Data centres provide remote transcoding, multi-channel synchronisation and even real-time video editing for live media production operations [3]. A typical data centre located on a broadcaster's premises would have of the order of 1000 to 10000 servers, to include all media ingress and egress points alongside storage, processing and backup nodes.…”

Moving Object-Based Media Production from One-Off Examples to Scalable Workflows

“…Each Representation points to an Asset Collection, which references an IP Studio (11) package holding the media necessary to present the Narrative Object. Representations themselves are not concerned with bitrates or codecs -these concerns will ultimately be handled by an OBM player that consumes the Story data model, evaluating network conditions and device capability to request media at an appropriate fidelity.…”
