Webinar: Control and Monitoring in an IP Infrastructure

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones

Date: Monday 19th November 2018, 08:00 GMT and again at 16:00 GMT

Axon’s back with their 5th webinar in the Broadcast IP 101 series. Previously they have covered preparing for IP, the basics, Transport Formats and uncompressed vs compressed video. Now they are back to talk about control and monitoring.

The well-known 2022 and 2110 standards define transportation of video (and other essences). Like SDI-related standards, they don’t describe how to control the path of signals or monitor them. Unlike SDI, however, we expect to know what’s plugged in to our networks (AKA discovery) and then to control the data flow. There are proprietary and open specifications for doing this, including AMWA IS-04, IS-05 and IS-06 which deal with discovery, control and connection management.

In this webinar, CTO Peter Schut describes the lay of the land and how you can implement control and monitoring in an IP infrastructure.

The webinar happens twice. Once at 08:00 GMT (Midnight PT) and once at 16:00 GMT (11am ET).

Webinar: Transitioning Video Delivery to the Cloud – Best Practices

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones

The Streaming Video Alliance are back with a packed panel of experts discussing the move from broadcast channels to the cloud.

The real transition from traditional TV broadcast to online video is happening behind the scenes as incumbents and new providers embrace cloud resources to provide a scalable, distributed means to reach the widest possible audience. But the cloud is complicated. With a myriad of providers and a bevy of services available, providers need to understand both how the cloud can help streaming video workflows as well as the challenges involved with implementation and integration. In this panel, you’ll hear experts discuss a variety of challenges with cloud-based workflows, the growing importance of edge computing, and best practices for adopting cloud technologies in video delivery.

Webinar: Why Telcos Need Content and Content Providers Need Telcos

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones


Date: Thursday 15th November 2018, 16:00 GMT / 11am ET

It’s a busy time in the content and connectivity business and in this webinar, IBC265 is bringing together Huawei, Rights Stuff and Ampere Analysis to map out the future of convergence. Hear:

  • Why high-quality video services are vital for telecom operators wanting to engage consumers and grow their revenues through “experience monetisation”
  • When is the right time for operators to license their own content or offer their own VOD platform
  • How becoming a super-aggregator of OTT services and TV channels can create a compelling offer without costing a cent in content rights
  • Why content providers, broadcasters and SVOD platform owners should partner with telcos to reach new audiences in new markets

The boundaries between broadcasters, pay TV platforms, OTT operators and telecoms providers are blurring.

Competitors are becoming partners as content owners recognise the role of telcos to deliver their services to a bigger audience and drive new revenues, while telecom operators are creating compelling consumer experiences built around video.

Convergence is now all about putting the consumer at the centre of a connected media and entertainment experience where the distinction between live broadcast and on-demand services disappears.

Video: Full Stack 2110 with John Mailhot

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones



John Mailhot from Imagine Communications discusses what ‘Full Stack’ means for video over IP. The SMPTE 2110 suite of standards is mainly about the transport of essences – but how to you simply plug in some equipment and get going? You need standards which discover and register the new device, you need timing to synchronise devices. It’s a whole ecosystem.

John walks us through the data flows (and workflows) necessary when you plug new 2110 kit in and we quickly discover there is more depth than we imagined.

John also discusses how DHCP can give you more than just IP addresses.

Covering IS-04, IS-05, PTP/SMPTE 2059, ST 2110 and IEE 802.1AB (LLDP). This is a very practical video. Why? Because understanding all this is key to diagnosis and troubleshooting.
