If there is one truth in this business, it’s that nothing ever stays the same when it comes to clients’ business needs. Ever-changing requirements and a wide variety of environments and workflows mean communications – and the tools needed to deploy them – look different in every situation, even when done by the same team.
RIST Forum – IP Standardisation and Real-World Restrictions
The ongoing surge in content demand has forced the media industry to adapt its workflows and find efficient ways to deliver high-quality content at lower costs. The utilisation of IP for contribution and distribution offers evident advantages to users, and the technology is evolving all the time. IP has proven to be cost-effective, adaptable, and quick to set-up. Many broadcasters are finding that resources are easier to manage, due to broadcast environments being spun-up or down to meet capacity requirements.
Technology vendors have risen to the challenges faced by broadcasters and content owners and continue to deliver new IP features that streamline content delivery. These innovations have been implemented across a wide range of hardware and software solutions, offering more choice and flexibility. We are now moving into an interesting era for IP, where innovation and insights can be consolidated and leveraged to benefit the whole media industry.
Net Insight – Taking control of IP: Putting security back at the heart of media
The IP media paradigm is loud and clear, changing what we used to know about producing and distributing live events and how we did business in the media world. The innovation potential is immense, bringing efficiency and agility to the media industry at an unprecedented scale. However, transformation also needs to iron out some of the changes it brings. Moving from closed and controlled to open IP-based workflows means network control and security become mission-critical capabilities as media companies need to ensure their high-value content is protected.
When it comes to premium content, any mistake or network vulnerability can prove detrimental, both financially and reputationally. There is no room for compromise — media companies need to boost their network control and security to ensure they make the most of IP without caveats.
