The Challenge:
Project Challenge Proposed by: BBC, BT Media & Broadcast
Associate Sponsors: AMD / HP
Champions: BBC, Channel 4, BT Media & Broadcast, Sky, EBU, Vodafone Group, TV2, and others TBC
Participants: Zixi, LAMA, TSL, Techex, Norsk, VizRT
Led by Champions BBC, BT Media & Broadcast, Sky Sports, Channel 4, TV2 Denmark, and Vodafone Group with others to be confirmed. This special Incubator project follows the build and development of an all-IP, edge-first, multi-cloud, multi-software test bed environment that was created in the 2023 Accelerator Programme.
The project will look to push further innovation through experimentation in the following areas: environmental monitoring and measurement; orchestration; deployment (including containerisation) observability; other transport elements and business case and licence options. Watch out for some exciting early-stage demonstrations and implementations – each progressively applying new levels of production sophistication according to the availability of bandwidth in a variety of live scenarios.
The POC Objectives:
In 2024 the project team aims to:
-
Have successfully deployed a software based dynamic media facility workflow on location using edge compute
-
To have multiple software and format choices at different points in the workflow
-
To have deployed on multiple types of hyperscaler infrastructure
-
To better understand sustainability and operational benefits
