Video: ST 2110 over WAN

Andy Rayner from Nevion looks at using SMPTE ST 2110 on a Wide Area Network (WAN).

While using ST 2110 is a much discussed topic in the studio or within a building, there are extra difficulties in putting it between buildings, cities and countries with some saying it shouldn’t even be done. Here, Andy examines how you can do it whilst acknowledging the industry still has some decisions to make.

Topics discussed include:

  • SMPTE ST 2022-7 – dual flows
  • FEC use on ST 2110
  • Flow Trunking
  • Conversions to and from 2110 and 2022-6
  • Light/Mezzanine Compression
  • PTP Trunking and GPS-locked PTP
  • Multiple Timing Domains
  • Discovery & Control between buildings

Video: Automated Tagging of Image and Video Collections using Face Recognition

Real-world examples of using Machine Learning to detect faces in archives is discussed here by Andrew Brown and Ernesto Goto from The University of Oxford. Working with the British Film Institute (BFI) and BBC News, they show the value of facial recognition and metadata comparisons.

Andrew Brown was given the cast lists of thousands of films and shows how they managed to not only discover errors and forgotten cast members, but also develop a searchable interface to find all instances of an actor.

Ernesto Goto shows the searchable BBC News archives interface he developed which used google images results of a famous person to find all the ocurrences in over 10,000 hours of video and jump straight to that point in the video.

A great video from the No Time To Wait 3 conference which looked at all aspects of archives for preservation.
