SECURE
For decades KVM systems have been fully established in the broadcasting industry and provide an optimal base for the fl exible switching of computer signals. OB vans and live transmissions, studios, post-production and broadcast control rooms all benefi t from KVM – from recording to playout. With KVM-over-IP systems, transmission is based on IP and runs on standard networks. Due to being extremely fl exible and easy to expand, KVM-over-IP turns out to be a future-proof solution. However, IP transmission also increases the security risk. In this case, there is an additional danger from the outside, via the internet, or even from inside where accessing a network is even easier. So how can these security issues be solved? In order to protect an application from
cyberattacks, network separation and segmentation are an important tool to be used. In KVM-over-IP systems, keyboard and mouse, as well as audio and video data, must also be encrypted to prevent unauthorised users from tapping data transmissions and thereby gaining access to internal information. In the case of system-critical applications, in particular, the use of VPN, VLANs and secure encryption is necessary to avoid unwanted access. Even more critical than the ‘reading’ of broadcast content is the detection of input data, especially that from keyboard logins, passwords, etc. Secure encryption is essential here, as is a regular replacement of the security key.

SKY DEUTSCHLAND SELECTS VENICE AND SPYCERNODE FOR SPORT PUBLISH
Rohde & Schwarz BY DAVID FOX
Sky Deutschland has installed Venice media servers and SpycerNode intelligent storage from Rohde & Schwarz to give itself greater fl exibility and scale to support ingest, transcoding and playout for coverage of sports such as the Bundesliga and Champions League. The broadcaster has invested in six new Venice units, along with a new SpycerNode, delivering a total of 24 channels of scalable centralised and external storage capability as well as support for UHDp50. The new workfl ow uses
Venice for ingest and transfers fi les directly into SpycerNode,
Sky Deutschland’s new Venice and SpycerNode gives it greater scale and fl exibility
allowing the Sky Deutschland team to access and edit growing fi les, pull out clips for highlights packages and playout directly. Venice also ensures correct fl agging and handling of UHD

installation from network attacks in the following ways:
• VPN tunnel and video stream with AES 128-bit encryption • Control port for the exchange of non-static security keys
• Communication port for the transmission of keyboard and mouse data • Trusted Computing Platform to protect access and confi guration data • UID locking to prevent the integration of unwanted end-devices
• G&D KVM end-devices do not store any information. Therefore, login data from a device that has been physically removed cannot be read out.

and HDR material, eliminating errors in the delivery chain without the need for external third-party systems. Christian Barth, director of
production platforms & playout,
Sky Deutschland, said: “As we meet our viewers’ demands for higher volumes of richer content, having a rock-solid 24/7 channel playout workfl ow that can meet our evolving needs is a must. With this new generation of Venice and SpycerNode we have all the scalability we need now, and in the future. This upgrade also gives us the redundancy
necessary in our playout environment.” Venice supports group ingest and playout to studio and master control, managing complex signal processing and storage requirements. It provides scheduled recording, clip transforms and playout, integrating with Rohde & Schwarz shared storage, SpycerNode and certifi ed third- party systems. It supports UHD using either single link 12G-SDI or quad link 3G-SDI (including a 2SI option), plus SMPTE ST-2110. SpycerNode leverages High Performance Computing fi le systems for high scalability and full redundancy, offering shared storage to support fast turnaround workfl ows. Rohde & Schwarz Virtual Storage Access (VSA) technology is also being deployed at Sky Deutschland to provide maximum fail safety and seamless redundancy for all R&S applications for ingest and playout.
