Video: How BBC Northern Ireland Turned Decades Of Content Into A Secure, Accessible Petascale Archive

BBC Northern Ireland produces a complete schedule of news and current affairs programming that it distributes over two television channels, two radio stations, and multiple online platforms.

BBC NI also delivers content from other BBC production centers to Northern Ireland audiences. In addition, its facilities also serve as a central digital archive for the Rewind Projects, hosting thousands of hours of existing content from all of the BBC’s different national sites.

To meet their challenge of storing, protecting, and making the content available for reuse, they turned to a workflow management solution from Cinegy built on the Quantum StorNext storage platform.

Attend this webinar and learn more about key elements of the BBC NI solution:

• Unified asset management environment spans multiple, discrete storage tiers for storing video and audio essences together with metadata

• Teams of users and applications in all areas have fast, simultaneous access to all media content on disk and tape

• Automated movement of data between disk and tape tiers for backup and archive

• High-speed, multi-stream transcoding delivers content quickly for accelerated production because data is visible on any computer

• Dual-redundant systems supports around-the-clock operations and provides back-end storage support to ensure DR protection

• A scalable solution that can grow as storage demands increase in the future

Video: Synchronization and Timing in SMPTE ST 2110

Paul Briscoe explains PTP from the basics taking us through the reasons for using it and how it’s applied to the ST 2110 which to carries uncompressed video, audio and metadata.

The ST 2110 standard brings with it an entirely new way to establish system timing, through use of IEEE-1588 PTP and SMPTE ST2059. This method is native to the IP domain and to the RTP transport and media synchronization used by 2110 but also provides virtualized legacy timing capability.

Paul discusses
• The considerations in system timing using ST2110, including those which include SDI elements.
• How PTP delivers precision time across an IP network
• How ST2059 uses PTP to virtualize any reference signal.
• The synchronization mechanisms of ST2110 including transport timestamps and media clocks
• How streams are synchronized among each other and how they interoperate with PTP
• How timing of SDI and AES3 signals is harmonized with ST2110 streams.
• Router switchpoint timing and latency considerations.
