The Challenge:
Project Challenge Proposed by: Atos (Eviden), BBC, Solent University
Supported by Champions: EBU, BBC, IMG, ITN, Solent University
Participants: ATOS (Eviden), dB Broadcast, Techex
A project proposed by Eviden and supported by Champions BBC, EBU, IMG, and Solent University. This project addressed 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 gathered data from across the industry to establish current obstacles and utilised it to test and implement solutions incorporating IS 13 and dynamic routing for orchestrated infrastructure to then take place. A collaborative group included key broadcasters and industry standards movements such as Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA), who worked together towards an accelerated approach to this industry challenge.
In order drive forward the implementation of these standards, users need to ask their vendors for this functionality via their RFP specifications and other procurement processes.
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
The POC Results:
-
BCP-002-02 NMOS Asset Identifying Information provides a significant utility for little additional effort
-
This demo shows an implementation without manual and time-consuming processes
-
The industry needs to work together for the benefit of everyone
-
The implementation of the standards will provide significant cost, time and energy savings
