Factors to consider while designing an IP media fabric

Patrick Daly – Director of Engineering, Atlanta M&E, Diversified Patrick has worked on several IP projects and will cover: baseband vs IP infrastructure; developing an IP media fabric core with legacy hybrid SDI constraints; system documentation for IP media fabric installations; and factors in selecting optics: price, simplicity of design, ease of maintenance, network topology, physical/geographic footprint.

Engineering documentation for IP broadcast systems

Gary Olson – MD, GHO Group LLC Line drawings and wire lists are no longer sufficient to build and maintain a media production and broadcast facility. IP mapping, VLAN’s, API’s and communications between systems, network topology and workflows are key. This presentation covers the types of documentation that are critical for IP centric broadcast facilities. [maxbutton id="129" ]

Audio over IP for TV production

Antony David – CEO, Solid State Logic Antony explains the benefits of AOIP networks and why those implemented today will mesh with the evolving SMPTE ST 2110 and NMOS IS-04 standards. An example of a fully networked multi-room production facility at a major European broadcaster will illustrate these points and the capabilities. [maxbutton id="134" ] [maxbutton id="135" ]

IS-06: The Network Traffic Cop to Protect and Reserve Your Bandwidth

For reliable IP media operation, bandwidth needs to be reserved for flows and the network needs to be protected from unauthenticated senders and receivers. AMWA NMOS IS-06 Network Control is a publicly available multi-vendor interface specification between a broadcast controller and one or more network controllers. Find out from Thomas Edwards (VP Engineering & Development, Fox) and Subha Dhesikan (Principal Engineer, Cisco) how it allows the broadcast controller to learn about network topology, to authorize endpoints, and to allow networked media flows to move with reserved bandwidth, and it is supported by multiple network equipment companies to avoid vendor lock-in.

A National Broadcaster’s all IP Media LAN and WAN Infrastructure

When the national broadcaster TV 2 recently relocated both of its locations, an all IP infrastructure for live production was chosen. Ole Johan Skogheim (Head of Systems, TV 2 Norway) describes how the main goal was to reduce impact of distance and to merge production islands’ connecting all resources in a network based infrastructure. Initially based on SMPTE ST 2022-6/-7+AES67, but planned for SMPTE ST 2110 upgrade, the project resulted in a true multi-vendor environment giving TV 2 greater freedom in the allocation of resources and location of operations.

Using AMWA IS-04/IS-05 Technologies in a Routing Control Environment

In parallel with the development of SMPTE ST 2110, AMWA has been developing registration, discovery, and connection management tools needed to build IP-based workflow systems more rapidly. This talk by John Mailhot (CTO, Networking & Infrastructure, Imagine Communications) covers the IS-04/05 specifications and how they integrate into routing control environments.

IP Networking for Real-Time Video

SMPTE ST 2110 is all about professional media over managed IP networks. Robert Welch (Technical Solutions Lead, Arista Networks) reveals the considerations and design architectures for building, maintaining and operating the all-IP real-time workflow.

Measuring latency in virtual networks

Software and system developers have learned to minimize latency and jitter when writing to physical NICs, but what are the parameters for virtual NICs in virtual machines? This presentation by Thomas Burns (CTO, Media & Entertainment, Dell EMC) will explore select variables in hardware and software packages for virtual production.

Case Study of Building a National Broadcast Network using IP

Over the past 18 months, BT and the BBC have built a national broadcast network using IP transport and SMPTE ST 2022 for carriage of uncompressed video, audio and data. In this presentation, John Ellerton (Head of Media Futures, BT Media and Broadcast) and Ross Kemp (Head of Connectivity Architecture, BBC) provides some insight into this enormous project, its challenges and successes, and the ambitions for the network as the BBC progresses towards an end-to-end IP future.
