Artel in Action – Summer 2021
Welcome to the second installment of Artel in Action, our quarterly newsletter keeping you up to date with what we’ve been doing lately.
Artel in Action – Spring 2021
Artel in Action is our quarterly newsletter created to say hello, keep in touch, and let you know what we’ve been up to lately, especially as we've not been able to meet up recently!
Lessons Learned Part 4: Ensuring Interoperability
If you’ve been following along at home, you know that the first three blogs in this “lessons learned” series dig into the benefits of PTP-aware switches in an IP environment, correct handing of PTP and synchronization in IP-based media workflows. We shift gears just a bit with this blog to look more closely at interoperability — or, making sure everything works!
Lessons Learned Part 3: Networking and Transport
So far in this blog series, we’ve examined the importance of PTP-aware switches in an IP environment, as well as correct handling of Precision Time Protocol (PTP) data to ensure proper timing and synchronization. In this third post, we look at networking and transport — the actual movement of video, audio, data, control, monitoring, intercom, and other signals over the IP network.
Lessons Learned Part 2: Optimal Handling of PTP
The first blog in this “lessons learned” series took a close look at how important it is to use a PTP-aware switch when implementing IP-based media workflows. In this second installment, we’ll focus more on IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) itself and how to handle PTP configuration and data correctly.
The IP Migration: Working With Audio Studios
When you hear about the audio industry’s migration to IP, the “classic” implementation that comes to mind is that of either a greenfield application or a complete equipment replacement. Either response is valid, given that many of the initial implementations highlighted were just these kinds of projects: entirely new builds undertaken by high-profile media organizations.
Fiber Is Here to Stay
Fiber optic media-over-wavelength transport has been a staple of live television production for decades now, but any application with high bandwidth and/or high bit rate requirements can benefit from fiber.
Lessons Learned Part 1: Getting IP Right With a PTP-Aware Switch
At a recent meeting of Artel engineers, we decided to collect some “lessons learned” stories. We figured we’d share these stories — focused around IP-based media workflows — in case they can help you to prevent unwanted downtime or avoid a painful failure.
Dave Rowell and Filo Classical
In the 15 years since he founded FiLO Classical, recording engineer Dave Rowell has consistently garnered praise — and no small number of awards — for his artistic and technical skill in location recording and broadcasting classical music.
Read how Rowell adopted a RAVENNA-based real-time AoIP solution including two Artel Quarra PTP- aware ethernet switches to keep everything perfectly synced.
Configuring Your IP Switch: The Why Behind the How
Artel's documentation page has dozens of PDF files explaining how best to configure your equipment for your operations. Page through any guide, and you’ll learn exactly what to do to get you up and running. Simple and helpful screenshots allow you to get through setup quickly and successfully without necessarily understanding every switch feature so you’re pretty much good to go. But maybe you’re interested in the “why” as well as the “how”? This blog takes a closer look at three key features — IGMP snooping, QoS, and IEEE 1588 PTP — and why they are important in supporting a stable AES67 network.
