Webinar: 13th Annual Worldwide Infrastructure Security Update


Webinar: 26th January 2018, 16:00GMT

Broadcasters are finally starting to take network and IT security seriously after successful attacks against Sony Pictures, TV5 Monde and others. This webinar gives a ‘state of play’ to understand the current landscape of internet attacks like DDOS and malware and how IoT fits in. There’s much to take away to our broadcast lives from hearing about the mounting challenges ahead for those involved in day-to-day security operations.
Arbor Networks’ 13th Annual Worldwide Infrastructure Security Report (WISR) offers a rare view into the most critical security challenges facing today’s network operators. This session will review the highlights from the report to help network operators understand the breadth of the threats that they face, gain insight into what their peers are doing to address these threats, and comprehend both new and continuing trends.

Video: SMPTE Timed Text

As much as video and audio are an essential part of watching a video, increasingly so is Timed Text (AKA Subtitles or Closed Captions). Legally required in some countries, its practical use beyond the hard of hearing is increasingly acknowledged. Whether for a sound-less TV in a reception or to help your follow the programme over the noise, Timed Text is here to stay online and in traditional broadcast. With the FCC declaring SMPTE-TT a ‘Safe Harbor’ format[1][2] it has become a default format for subtitles interchange in the professional world.

In this webinar:
Why did we need a language for Timed Text?
An overview of TTML (Timed Text Markup Language from the WC3)
Examples of TTML
How SMPTE-TT extends TTML
How SMPTE-TT ends up as Closed Captions/CEA-608
