The IP revolution reaches playout

From broadcastengineering.com - February 25, 2013 4:42 AM

Television facilities are gradually evolving and are becoming more IP/networking-centric in many areas. IP networking infrastructure has been built up throughout facilities primarily to handle the exchange of files from one storage device or file-based system to another. Files have been successfully navigating the IP domain within television and playout facilities for some time.

IP networking makes perfect sense forfile-based processes, but what about real-time program streams? There are many areas where real-time or linear program streams are in use. Today, we commonly find IP networking used for real-time program streams on the edges of the facility, typically in the incoming feeds area or at the point of outbound transmission. At these points, the stream is encoded and compressed for transport. Take that farther, and here is the killer question: Could IP networking be used throughout a facility?
