The Future of Broadcasting: The Rise of IP-Based Technology
Introduction
In the rapidly evolving world of broadcasting, IP-based technology is at the forefront of transforming how content is delivered. Moving away from traditional SDI (Serial Digital Interface) systems, IP (Internet Protocol) networks offer increased flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. This shift allows broadcasters to expand their infrastructure easily, integrate new services, and streamline operations using existing IT infrastructure. IP-based systems also facilitate high-quality, low-latency streaming, robust remote production capabilities, and seamless integration with IT tools, positioning broadcasters to adapt to future advancements with ease.
Case Study
VOA, or Voice of America, is a U.S. government-funded international broadcasting service that delivers news, information, and cultural programs to a global audience in multiple languages. Recently, Jamiro played a pivotal role in the construction and equipping of VOA’s state-of-the-art studio in Kenya. This ambitious project demanded extensive automation and seamless integration, enabling a producer in Washington, D.C., to effortlessly run a show in Kenya. One of the standout technologies utilized for this installation was NDI (Network Device Interface). Cutting-edge robotic cameras with NDI support were selected, eliminating the need for cumbersome HDMI or SDI cables. This innovation not only simplified video delivery to the playout system but also allowed precise control over the active viewing angles of the capture cameras.
