Led by Champions BBC, Channel 4, BT Media & Broadcast, Sky, EBU, Vodafone Group & TV2. 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
