Webinar: Real-time, Remote Production over Commodity Internet

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones


Webinar: Thursday, October 26, 2017 at 11am PT, 18:00 GMT
Capturing and producing content for live events such as sports, news, training or education programs poses unique challenges, and true real-time, remote production has long been an unattainable goal until now. Telestream and IBM Aspera have developed a game-changing, joint solution for high-speed capture and production of live, broadcast quality video from remote locations for faster production turnaround.

    During this webinar, we’ll be discussing:

  • The significant challenges of real-time, remote production
  • How the joint solution works and what it takes to implement
  • The robustness of the solution even though it uses commodity Internet WANs

Presenters:
John Fleenor, Product Manager, Telestream
Mike Flathers, CTO, Aspera, an IBM Company

Webinar: 12 GHz Coax, the New Frontier: Exploring 4K Coax Cable Technology

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones


On-Demand Webinar

When will copper fail us? From the beginnings of electronic media, broadcast engineers have struggled with the bandwidth limitations of interconnecting cable. When 4K and other high data rate services first appeared, it seemed only fiber could handle the bandwidth. But we thought the same when SDI was introduced. Belden first introduced 4794R and now 4855R. Will these be the new 8281 and 9209? Have we reached the limit of electrons in cable, or are there new technologies that will extend the convenience of cable and connectors into the next generation of broadcast?

With each advance in interconnection, new methods for installation and use come with new limitations along with the improvements in bandwidth. This webinar covers interconnection in the 12 GHz world, and what is likely to be the technology for the next generation.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  1. If you can use existing cable for 12 GHz 4K applications.
  2. If there is a difference between 6 GHz 4K and 12 GHz 4K when choosing cable.
  3. Connectors you can use for 12 GHz 4K applications.

Video: Discovery’s cloud workflows and Channel Origination. AWS re:Invent.

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones


On-Demand Video of a talk at AWS re-Invent 2016
Discovery Communications is well known in broacast circles for their move the the cloud, arguably ahead of the curve. But their partnership with AWS continues and appears to have resulted in a felxibly, reliable infrastructure which has gone hand in hand with a move of Enterprise IT to the cloud.

This talk walks through Discovery’s migration of broadcast playout supporting hundreds of channels worldwide to AWS. It shows how Discovery has not only reduced their Total Cost of Ownership but also has improved their agility by launching new channels on demand. We also walk through how channel origination is being deployed in a secure, automated fashion, and with a level of high availability that exceeds what is possible in a traditional data center.
