Divided they stand

Compared to the broadcast industry, pro AV can still seem like the Wild West, but it is being civilised (if that’s the right word) by contact with the world of broadcast. “It’s the proven broadcast transport standards in SMPTE ST 2110 that pro AV is primed to build upon with the IPMX standard,” says Miller. “Interoperability is key on an AV-over-IP network where all kinds of devices communicate on a common platform.”

Sail Grand Prix Season-Ending Race in San Francisco Points to Power of Data, IP

As Sail Grand Prix concludes its 2021-22 season this weekend in San Francisco, it continues to prove just how quickly new remote-production workflows can evolve. Onsite presence is minimal, with camera signals, audio signals, and heaps of data sent from the boats to the shore via RF and then via SMPTE ST 2110 transport halfway around the world to a production team at Timeline’s Ealing Broadcast Centre in the UK.

Cisco Point of View on: NextGen Broadcasting

With the move to IP and IT happening at the same time, broadcasters can enhance workflows and capabilities at a rate not previously achieved. Workflows are now treated almost like microservices, which can be re-spun in a variety of ways. This helps achieve maximum flexibility of the adopted technology stacks, as well as maximum ROI on infrastructure and resources.

How Media Production has Evolved with IP Infrastructure Implementation

Before IP, studio distribution was a factor based on a fixed size SDI router, which limited its scalability. IP removes those boundaries, adding scalability of undefined dimensions. “In addition to the scaling benefits,” Paulsen explained, “IP enables multiple video formats and resolutions to operate on the same infrastructure. Gone are individual reference systems needed for each format. IP enables a larger and vastly different system architecture.”

Live Production Over IP Now Becoming the Standard

“IP certainly provides the same levels of reliability and quality as traditional SDI workflows, thanks to significant advances made in IP platforms and IP-based solutions,” said Marco Lopez, general manager for live production at Grass Valley. “IP workflows unlock unprecedented flexibility and scalability, with many world-leading broadcasters already recognizing its transformational potential.”

Column: The status of SDI to IP transitions and the benefits of maintaining hybrid environments… for now

There’s no denying the future of broadcast is based on transitioning to all-IP. That migration holds the potential for delivering significant long-term benefits, especially providing a cost-effective roadmap. IP allows broadcasters to scale and adapt easily, quickly spin up new services to meet changing audience demands for content and flexibly configure and manage devices and workflows.

The Future of Broadcast: The All-IP Olympics

IP networking is a proven and robust technology, as evidenced by the IP-based enterprise networks that support so many businesses and organizations. The tremendous benefit of IP is that it enables new workflows that simply aren't possible with legacy video technology. These new workflows enable broadcasters to fundamentally transform how they create and deliver content while lowering their operating expenses. And they can do this without negatively impacting the reliability or real-time delivery of content.

Column: The road to true IP is paved with interoperability

Helping to accelerate IP deployments are two industry standards: SMPTE ST 2110 (the set of SMPTE standards for sending digital media over an IP network) and the Networked Media Open Specifications (NMOS) suite of protocols. Together, these two advancements further the way IP networks transport media including uncompressed video, PCM audio and ancillary data that are carried over separate routable streams, as well as device connection management on a network.
