theibcdaily Saturday 14.09.13 93 Networked production on demo EBU
By Will Strauss With one eye on the eventual demise of HD-SDI, the EBU and the BBC’s R&D team are using IBC to show how a fully networked production environment could now be a possible and practical option for broadcasters.
The demo features high bitrate signals being exchanged in realtime over IP, negating the need for HD-SDI interfaces as signals are handled seamlessly, independent of the pixel raster of the image format. Digital production is also the subject of another demo on the EBU stand at IBC. With vendors in mind, the QC showcase highlights the checks being developed, so that products can be successfully integrated, ensuring robust, automated processes.

A packet full of streams VideoFlow
By Heather McLean
Launching at IBC are the newest additions to VideoFlow’s DVP family of solutions for delivering live, high quality video (SD, HD and above) over standard internet connections. VideoFlow’s patent
pending technology is said to ensure that when delivering content over the internet, no packet is lost, and it also nullifies the jitter caused by transiting the internet, giving broadcasters, teleports and operators the opportunity to use a highly advanced, low cost solution for live, high quality video streams in place of existing, expensive solutions, says the developer. The equipment comes as a
plug and play pair, consisting of a protector, which stores the packets until it is certain that they have been correctly received, and a sentinel that monitors the health of the video stream by watching for packet loss and requests packets to be resent from the protector’s cache only if required. 3.B20
Media Services) project are also being shown, delivering the interfaces needed for quality assurance in a service-oriented architecture (SOA) environment. The EBU has also revealed that it is working on a prototype
cloud infrastructure based entirely on open source software. As part of what it is calling Media Cloud Orchestration, virtualised services are used for encoding and distribution in a scalable
environment that makes use of both private and public clouds. The EBU said: “This work has
revealed many potential use cases as well as architectural and technical solutions that would be of interest to
broadcasters and service providers.” Presentations and demos on the EBU stand are taking place every 30 minutes throughout the show. 10.F20
