IPv6 Fundamentals

IPV6 Fundamentals

Overview:

IPv6 is the next generation Internet Protocol and is currently being deployed in Service Providers and Enterprises across the world. This 2 day practical course covers the benefits and features of this protocol and considers strategies for migrating from IPv4 to IPv6.

Delegates will learn about the operation of  IPv6 networks and the essential theory is reinforced using practical examples and utilising wireshark traces.

IPV6 builds on and improves on the existing IPv4 protocol and delegates attending the training should have a good working knowledge of IPv4. Delegates must have a level of networking  knowledge commensurate with that covered in the "IP Network Essentials for Engineers" course. Ideally delegates should also have attended the "Advanced IP Networks for Engineers" course.

Video Workflow Cloudverse: Why ARM in the Cloud is the Future of Content

The Cloudverse is in motion, and it gravitates towards ARM technology. In this webinar, we’ll discuss the benefits and maybe drawbacks of transitioning your Linux-based workflows from x86 to ARM processors. Also, we’ll be looking at what’s available in the ARMverse “below the clouds.” The entire MainConcept SDK portfolio—from AVC to VC-1—now supports use on ARM-based Linux platforms including Raspberry Pi and AWS Graviton instances. In this webinar, Nicolai Otto, Director Product Management, will discuss: the availability and new, exciting proposals enabled by ARM processors (Amazon Graviton); cost savings possible by well-optimized processing chains on ARM (cost comparison Intel/ARM-based on AWS); other deployments of ARM beyond mobile and Cloud (e.g., Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson); and future considerations for processing mix between x86 and ARM.

Hot Digital Video Trends for 2022 , Coffee & Codecs, ep 3

The digital video world is evolving at a rapid pace, and 2022 is likely to be a landmark year as we see the 8K ecosystem and new codec technology, especially VVC, boldly emerge as HEVC and AVC continue to skyrocket. There is no doubt that OTT streaming is here to stay, and with the Beijing Olympics looming large and Hollywood back in full production mode, 2022 should be a banner year for Media, Entertainment & Broadcast.  

Geoff Gordon, our VP Marketing, hosts speakers from MainConcept, IMG Arena and Endeavor Streaming as they share highlights from 2021 and bold predictions for 2022. We will explore: 

  • What trends in video technology are around the corner 
  • How these trends will impact future sports and entertainment events
  • What MainConcept is planning for super-high-resolution video in 2022
  • Why we think 8K will go mainstream in 2022

farmerswife Case Study: SCHWARM

With the farmerswife cloud hosting solution we can keep our monthly costs low but we can generate quotes, schedule our studios and people and make sure we invoice our clients for all the work done.

THE CHALLENGE

Knowing farmerswife from previous work places it was quite clear that, once we started SCHWARM, we needed a tool for quoting, management and invoicing, and that farmerswife will be the solution as it offers the whole bandwidth of project management and financials.

THE SOLUTION

With the farmerswife cloud hosting solution we can keep our monthly costs low but we can generate quotes, schedule our studios and people and make sure we invoice our clients for all the work done. We can keep track of time spent by Freelancers and in our studios and get a full picture of all that is going on.

THE SUPPORT

As we have been previously using farmerswife we didn’t need a lot of training. But we could always rely on the helpful sources of farmerswife support. In the initial phase they supported us with the template configuration and database setup and continue to help and consult with adjustment on templates and in our workflow.

Media Tech Intelligence Briefing: CES 2022

CES 2022 took place as a physical trade show between Monday January 3rd and Friday January 7th. The show attracted over 40,000 attendees in person, of which 30% travelled from outside the US, representing 119 countries, according to the Consumer Electronics Association (CTA). This year, CES acted as a grand experiment in how to organize an in-person event during the on-going pandemic. While there were nearly empty showroom areas – as many major tech companies and media businesses had pulled out from the show – a “next big thing” that the conversation largely focused on throughout the show was clear – the metaverse, referring to a network of virtual universes combining VR/AR technologies. This was the case, even though Meta (and Amazon, Microsoft and Google) pulled out only few days before the show started.

We think that CES 2022 has highlighted important trends related to the future of technology and trade shows, which is why we have analyzed these topics in the first IABM Media Tech Intelligence Briefing of 2022.
