Project Challenge Proposed by: Atos (Eviden), BBC, Solent University 

Supported by Champions: EBU, BBC, IMG

Participants: ATOS (Eviden), dB Broadcast, Techex

A project proposed by Eviden and supported by Champions BBC, EBU, IMG, and Solent University. This project looks to address challenges around IP infrastructure within broadcast facilities created by the orchestration of media flows – namely, how to find the correct device, sender or receiver when there might be thousands in a facility.  

The team will gather data from across the industry to establish current obstacles and utilise it to test and implement solutions incorporating IS 13 and dynamic routing for orchestrated infrastructure will then take place. A collaborative group will include key broadcasters and industry standards movements such as Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA), who will work together towards an accelerated approach to this industry challenge. 

The POC Objectives:

  • Understand the challenges of identification with large numbers of networked media devices in broadcast facilities 

  • Assess NMOS “resource labelling” specifications (BCP-002-02 and IS-13) and for tacking these challenges 

  • Assess current implementations and encourage new ones 

  • Demonstration at scale of the benefits of the approach
