Argosy was founded in 1984, originally to supply broadcasters and systems integrators with cables and connectors. Today we are known as infrastructure solutions specialist and have rapidly expanded our portfolio in recent years, with an extensive range of products and services, including racks, power management, conversion devices and KVM technology – and we serve a number of industries alongside broadcast – such as Pro-AV and IT.
IP KVM in media and broadcast
This is the age of multi-tasking and multi-production. Behind the scenes of every news, sport and live broadcast channel is a team of people who make the content come to life, and here in 2022, almost every aspect is driven by computer technology. These live production environments rely on multi-server, multi-PC and multimonitor infrastructure, where people take control through our default peripherals; the keyboard and mouse.

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!
Content Chain Trends: Content Infrastructure & Storage
Our latest Content Chain Trends Report: Content Infrastructure & Storage discusses major macro business and tech trends, as well as their effects on products and services in Connect & Store. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of cloud technology, enabling decentralized remote production, and pushed media businesses to invest more in IP connectivity. This report also analyzes the growing popularity of interactive and immersive experiences driving investment in cloud computing, as well as 5G to achieve low latency. Highlights of this report: The pandemic has accelerated the move to remote production, changing the architecture of the production model from centralized to decentralized. The decentralization of resources and shift to remote production increased investment in cloud and IP-based workflows, enabling shared access and collaboration. The pandemic has also accelerated the move to the direct-to-consumer business model, causing a decline in satellite revenues. The move to direct-to-consumer is driving the demand for interactivity and immersive experiences. The growth of streaming audiences is increasing latency, thus shifting the investment focus of media companies to low-latency technologies, such as edge computing via cloud and 5G.

IP monitoring in complex data transfers
Digitalization has triggered a technical revolution among TV broadcasters too: with transfer rates of on average 100 Gigabits per second, huge volumes of data are nowadays coursing through broadcasters’ fibre-optic cables. But with the move away from analogue technologies come new challenges for live broadcasts: even minor disruptions in data transfer over IP networks today quickly damage image - and cost money. IP monitoring puts programme providers in the picture.
RIST and SRT overview: what to choose and why
New times place new demands in terms of data transfer speeds and delivery reliability, while the amount of content being transferred keeps growing.
Content Connectivity – The Next Generation
The broadcast landscape is transforming. The influx of content, the growing audiences, and the rising consumer demands are driving content providers, service operators and media distributors to look for new, innovative ways to transform their infrastructure while optimizing and lowering costs in every single part of the video network.
