Webinar: Rethinking Content Distribution

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones


Date: Wednesday, October 25, 2017
Time: 16:00 GMT, 09:00 AM PDT

Technologies exist that can increase efficiencies allowing operators to focus on creating richer experiences for subscribers and allowing content owners to streamline distribution to securely reach a broader audience, in less time.

On October 25th experts from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and Verimatrix will share a new vision for the future of content distribution.

This webinar will be recorded and made available to all those who register.

The webinar will see a high-level overview of the insights gleaned from a live production and sports survey of those responsible for live production within leading tier one broadcasters, from multiple markets including Europe and the US.

The research covered a series of questions related to the industry including; major trends for live sports broadcasting; the technology priorities for live production; and where the largest growth will be in live sports.

Formula One has taken a standard quad 3G SDI UHD approach and in just 11 months, it has been able to replace 80 per cent of its on-location broadcasting infrastructure so that it was ready to broadcast the 2017 Formula One Championships in UHD.

In one creative process, the SAM solution at Formula One enables the delivery of outputs for different viewers and also the ability, for example, for every operator to have access to all of the content so that they can now see more than 60 cameras on the circuit, rather than just a handful of them.

The broadcast industry is in the process of transitioning to IP based transport for video, audio, and data. This has led to the development of standards including SMPTE ST 2022-6 that provide encapsulation of uncompressed SDI within IP packets and the SMPTE ST 2110 suite of standards for Professional Media Over Managed IP Networks.

These standards provide the interconnection framework for an all-IP infrastructure within a facility. The way in which these data packets flow across the network requires a variety of protocols to send this information bi-directionally from the source to the destination. Requiring broadcast engineers to gain an understanding of the technology and the new techniques needed to monitor these signals.

In this webcast, we will examine the basic structure of the packets for ST 2022-6 and the ST 2110 suite and how variable delay across the network introduces jitter at the receiver and how measurements can be made on the stream. Latency in the network can produce out of order packets or corruption of the data causing packets to be dropped. Therefore, it is critical to monitor the stream to ensure an eerror-free network to ensure transmission of the high bit rate media and how these errors affect the actual video and audio signal. For redundancy in the media network SMPTE ST 2022-7 can be used to provide a Path One and a Path Two stream that the downstream device can determine which path is the most appropriate to use. Measurement of the integrity of both paths is important and we will look at ways of monitoring the signal paths.
