Preserving PTP in Remote Production Environments
The industry has been talking about remote production for a while, and for good reason. The conventional live production model, in which you send a team and equipment to the venue, can be costly in terms of both time and money. Travel is expensive not only because you need to pay for transportation and lodging, but also because the human and technical resources are tied up all that time and unavailable for any other production. As a result, you’re limited in the frequency and number of events you can produce.

Case Study: Cablenet
Cablenet operates a next-gen hybrid fiber-coaxial network that supports broadband and HDTV services. In a project designed to augment this network, Cablenet sought to link to stadiums across Cyprus to two remote production sites to bring content to the network hub and on to the headend. They wanted to introduce Media over IP into the network, position themselves to use SMPTE ST2022-7 redundancy as an option in the future, and avoid the cost of Satellite links in spans where Wave Division Multiplexing didn’t meet the loss budget.

SLG Broadcast served as the system architect and general contractor for the green-field project, which incorporates the latest in IP technologies.

5 Tips for Simplifying Immersive Audio
Immersive audio has always had the potential to make broadcast and AV content more engaging, but the industry’s current shift toward media over IP (MoIP) is making this format much more accessible to content creators and distributors. Supported by a flexible, scalable IP infrastructure, broadcasters can use immersive audio to extend the creative possibilities open to them and to transform the way their audiences experience content. They can take their programming to a new level.
The Road to IP
BroadcastPro ME reached out to Artel's Rafael Fonseca, VP Product Management, to ask what he thought were some of the key drivers behind IP adoption in the market.
Calrec Commissions Quarra Switches Remotely Over IP for RTHK

Quarra Raises the Bar for PTP Switch Functionality
Many switches offer full PTP support. What you may not know is Artel’s Quarra PTP Ethernet switches are also a boundary clock. Why is it important that your PTP switch has the ability to act as a boundary clock rather than just a transparent clock?
