ASC MHL: How standardizing the media transfer process helps prevent data loss
Recently, the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) released its Media Hash List (MHL) specification to bring standardization to the media transfer process. The raw amount of data produced in the media and entertainment industry has never been greater than it is today, and will continue to grow well into the future. Similarly, there are now more data transfer points than ever before.
Network Media Service Supply Chain
With the emergence of cloud applications and services, changes in business and technology in the M&E market are accelerating. The multitude of streaming formats and platforms has pushed the technology used up to now, to implement the media supply chain to the limit, revealing its limitations and overwhelmed by the complexity of localization, UHD/HDR production and content distribution, among others. A successful media supply chain requires an efficient multiplatform reception, production and distribution of contents.
How Resilient is Redundancy?
Redundancy has always been a major topic for broadcast operations to ensure that the show goes on despite a defective power supply or other failure. While all eggs were in one basket—i.e. in one place and close to one another—this approach was certainly helpful. Calling such a setup resilient would nevertheless be a stretch.

Distributed architecture enables new workflows and beneficial changes to operations – a case study from EMG and Riedel
Workflows in Broadcast & Media are changing faster than ever, but if you get the solution right, the cost and time savings are immense. In this session, find out how a software defined, distributed architecture solution allows for faster setup, easier connections, greater redundancy and the ability to reroute for emergencies. Andrew Wisniewski, CEO of EMG USA, (a state of the art, major remote production company with a strong focus on live outside broadcasts) reveals how investment in a software defined, distributed architecture solution based on Riedel’s forward-thinking network designed MediorNet for high density video, audio and data routing, has offered customers the flexibility and stability to do more than they could have previously imagined!
