Imagine Communications – The balancing act

For today’s broadcasters, the choice between deploying services on-prem or in the cloud has become a critical decision. On the surface, it’s a simple one — on-prem systems require significant investments in physical infrastructure and time, while cloud solutions offer rapid deployment without the maintenance headaches.

However, if you dig a little deeper, the choice isn’t so clear-cut. To balance costs and their environmental footprint, broadcasters must determine when using cloud over on-prem solutions makes the most sense.

Three Media – Driving towards business agility

I think it is safe to start from the assumption that every media business is moving from a smokestack approach – a production line of bespoke, application specific devices – to a software-defined, cloud smart architecture.

Signiant – Bridging the gaps between files and objects for media

File and object storage are both common technologies used for persistently storing digital media. While files and objects have many similarities, there are some notable differences.

A key difference is that while the contents of a file can be changed at any time, the content of an object can only be set when it’s originally created. An object can be replaced with an entirely new object with the same name (or “key”), but parts of an object cannot be changed independently. Simplifications like this facilitate improved scaling, reliability and data durability when all that’s needed is a mechanism to reliably store and retrieve fixed blobs of data.

Blue Lucy – Bringing the cloud to earth

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.

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.
