2020: How an Industrywide Slowdown Drove Progress
In the decade leading up to 2020, we saw a flurry of work on standards that would pave the way for the industry’s migration to IP. Though many of those standards, including SMPTE ST 2110, continue to be refined and optimized, it has been more than a year since we truly began to see implementation of IP.
The Engine Driving Success for Artel and Its Customers
Perhaps because it is an employee-owned company, or because it is committed to being a good citizen within the larger industry, Artel is dedicated to being responsive to customers’ requirements — and a contributor to their success, as well.
This is why the engineering department at Artel is the company’s largest team, responsible for developing the features and functionality that address new and evolving market needs.

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.
Case Study: MEDIAparc
When completed in 2019 by Swiss broadcasters RadioFr and La Télé, the 3,000-square-meter MEDIAparc facility just outside Fribourg became Switzerland’s first all-IP media facility. Formally known as MEDIAparc Maison des Médias at Villars-sur-Glâne, the purpose-built facility boasts a 360° media offering the includes RadioFr in French, RadioFr in German, and RadioFr Music; La Télé Vaud-Fribourg; MédiaPub SA; the news website Sept.ch; digital media ad agency Skippr.ch; and FRiStyle, an online regional event advisor platform. 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.
