DEMOCRATISING THE MOVE TO IP


Alison Pavitt, irector of ales and arketing ebble


If an IP infrastructure brings clear, tangible benefits to broadcasters and media operations why hasnt adoption been more widespread here are plenty of reasons to maintain the status uo from reluctance to change existing proen workflows with tried and tested  euipment and a lack of inhouse expertise in implementing  infrastructures to the aailability or otherwise of all the pieces reuired for an  installation. ne key reason might be connectiity. ery broadcast engineer and content producer needs to connect euipment. ignals need to be routed and switched around eery facility whether it is a production studio a playout centre a regional broadcast station or an  truck and in the world of  there are lots of options to achiee this. ut routing and switching in the world of uncompressed  is complex and can deter


adoption for all but the largest broadcast and media enterprises.
