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.

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.

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.
Immersive Audio: Optimizing Infrastructure
Immersive audio is fast gaining traction in broadcast and the shift to IP has made it easier for broadcasters to handle the increased signal flow. Recent times have forced broadcasters to be more creative and innovative, and even though live sports took a hiatus, great steps have been taken to bring viewers engaging content. Learn how infrastructures are being optimized and new technologies are being implemented that are relevant now and in the future.
Immersive Audio: Ready for Prime Time
Thanks to the media and entertainment industry’s shift to IP, immersive audio is truly making the scene. Immersive audio formats have been employed successfully in the cinema, theater, and performing arts center, and now the time has come for immersive audio in live broadcasts.
The IP Migration: More Than a Technical Refresh
The transition to IP requires not just a technical shift, but also a cultural shift — and it’s never wise to underestimate the challenges that come with new ways of working!
