Providius BY DAVID FOX
Sky Racing Australia has deployed an Arista SMPTE 2110 broadcast network at its Sydney HQ and turned to Providius to add support for mission-critical operations. The new production facility is using IP technology over baseband video to offer fl exibility for future growth. But, to avoid network or media issues causing disruption, Sky Racing has implemented Providius software using live network telemetry from the Arista network switches to ensure maximum availability of its broadcast network. The Providius NVRT (Network

Visualisation and Real-time Telemetry) software provides
a comprehensive view of the Arista infrastructure, with access to real-time topology maps, network port-specifi c packet details, multicast media tracing and network cybersecurity in one dashboard. This simplifi es operations and increases cyber awareness, so operations teams can respond quickly to technical or cyber-related events. Sky Racing is also using BMG
(Broadcast Media Guard) from Providius, which acquires, decodes and analyses IP media fl ows, including ST2110- 20/30/40, PTP, MPEG2 TS and HLS, to actively monitor the IP network and alert operations to any potential issues in real time. Sky Racing Australia broadcasts 106+ channels of live TV around the world. 11.B05
