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" ]
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.

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.

BaM™ Product Highlights: GatesAir
At the 2018 NAB Show in April, GatesAir introduced Intraplex IPConnect, a standalone hardware device with integrated award-winning IPConnect software for reliable, secure data transport. Previously available only as an option for IP Link audio codecs, the new device provides reliability and security for virtually types of IP data, including those from IP audio codecs, HD Radio streams and Web or SNMP-based remote-control applications. The device can be used as an IP Gateway or a LAN bridge to provide point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections.
NAGRA – Unifying Content Security on Connected Devices
This paper looks at the evolving needs of pay-TV service providers as their growing multi-screen distribution strategies create increasing complexity in their content protection systems. It highlights the four key drivers that are causing pay-TV companies to reconsider their existing CAS/DRM architectures, and explains the reasons for moving toward a more unified approach that streamlines the implementation and operation of content security across multiple networks and devices.
Standards need Interoperability
Written by IABM CTO Stan Moote This article originally appeared in the IBC 2016 Daily Constant complaints about the slowness of standards being developed hurting the industry seems to be the norm. This doesn't mean standards don't happen, never-the-less I believe it is important to understand the standards process, benefits and risks. Early in my career I was involved in developing the CCIR-601 standard which became the basis for all digital video used today. This was driven both by technical and political agendas, however the effort was one of the industry's first takes on working together towards a worldwide standard rather than having localized ones such as NTSC, SECAM and the various flavours of PAL. Fast forward to today, and the new challenges are less about video and audio formats, more about transport and specifically IP. IP transport for video, particularly for in-facility full bandwidth, non-file based applications, is the current challenge. At IBC this year you will see a mix between hype and reality, so I figured I would point out was is happening and give you the confidence that as an industry we have no reason to use the switch to IP as a reason for holding up...
