🔍 Reimagining Broadcast Control   The transition from SDI to IP and hardware-defined to virtualised workflows is revolutionising live production. This shift holds incredible potential for improving efficiency, scalability, and flexibility in the broadcast industry.   However, to unlock these benefits, Broadcast Control Systems (BCS) must evolve to support modern production infrastructures effectively.   Our latest whitepaper dives deep into the evolving needs of live production and explores how reimagined BCS can help broadcasters maximise their investments in new technologies.   📥 Download the whitepaper now: https://bit.ly/4eJ4STz

https://lnkd.in/eKMeePJa D2X Multicast Broadcast Disaggregation System Architecture supports an SFN underlay RU Category (A) and SFN Wide Area RU Category (B), From perspective RU on a symbol-by-symbol basis under control D2X scheduler via eCPRI protocol messages D2X virtual frame (1000ms) is constructed. First VFS Bootstrap + L1 Signaling (1 + 2) time domain I/Q is sent to I/Q DAC, upconverted RF, PA. Then emitted antenna air interface aligned GPS 1PPS to begin D2X virtual frame. The D2X virtual frame (1000ms) shows highlighted (red) the virtual sub-frames with a mixture of D2X services for SFN underlay and the SFN wide area topologies. The remaining virtual sub-frames have only SFN wide area D2X services. The D2X scheduler eCPRI protocol messages for RU Type (A) sub-frames. The virtual sub-frame SS (3 + 4) is sent from cloud to RU D2X sites (1, 2, 3). Then all PRB for a symbol with D2X services (5) for wide area SFN are sent. Then RU generates three duplicate symbols for each sector (A, B, C) of SFN. Then for all VBP the PRB for D2X services (5) geo-targeted for SFN underlay is sent with eCPRI signaling to direct to a specific Site RU and sector. These are inserted by RU shown in the correct sector as signaled to complete a symbol. This process repeats for each symbol of a virtual frame with SFN underlay D2X services. If virtual sub-frame has only SFN wide area D2X services, then the SFN sectors are generated and the next step for insertion SFN underlay is skipped by D2X scheduler for each symbol of the virtual sub-frame. This is only an example the D2X scheduler, and algorithms are not specified in D2X standard. Only L1 signaling syntax and semantics for receivers (UE) and eCPRI messages to enable innovation using D2X harmonized 5G NR and aligned using O-RAN principles. #D2X #ORAN

🚨 New version of "Full Reference Video Quality Monitor" (FRVQM)! 🚨 Measure and monitor video quality, audio quality, loudness and lipsync from live video & audio signals : HDMI, SDI, IP streaming (UDP, RTP, HTTP, HTTPS, HLS, MPEG-DASH, RTSP, RTMP, NDI). The new features enable new ways to: - access specific video and audio streams from MPTS (Multi-Program Transport Streams) - maintain synchronization between the video under test and its reference video when there are lost frames Ideal for broadcast & broadband monitoring, encoders & decoders testing. Evaluate FRVQM for free : https://lnkd.in/ebFbsmn5 #fullreference #videoquality #perceptualmetrics #VMAF #PSNR #lipsync

Example D2X OFDMA Multicast Broadcast D2X Virtual Frame 1000ms. Each Virtual Frame Consists of (N) Virtual Sub-Frames. Each Virtual Sub-Frame consists of (N) Virtual Spectrum Slices. A OFDMA Resource Unit (RU) Size = (24) Sub-Carriers. D2X Virtual Slices are (N) x RU. This is used to schedule OFDM resources (8) Virtual slices shown. With D2X Multicast Broadcast (One-to-Many) this OFDMA approach is new and very Flexible. https://lnkd.in/epjUJKRJ

Evolving Trends in Broadcast Technology: From IP Integration to AI In today’s broadcast environment, technology is evolving at an unprecedented rate. One significant shift I’ve experienced firsthand is the move to IP-integrated broadcast systems, where every piece of equipment is connected through a managed switch. This setup not only enhances operational efficiency but also enables remote access to the entire system from anywhere in the world—a game-changer for facilitating remote work in the industry. However, managing these advanced systems comes with its challenges. Most of the equipment used in modern broadcasting requires frequent software updates, often released annually or even bi-annually. Keeping track of which software versions are outdated, especially when managing large servers, can be a daunting task. Currently, this requires regularly visiting the manufacturer's website to check for updates manually, which can be time-consuming and inefficient. There’s a strong potential for AI to revolutionize this process. AI could proactively monitor software versions, identify outdated systems, and even automate updates, significantly reducing downtime and improving system reliability. Some equipment already displays signs of needing an upgrade, occasionally shutting down when running on outdated software. This not only disrupts workflow but also highlights the importance of staying current with the latest technological advancements. Broadcast technology has come a long way—from analog systems to digital, then IP integration, and now AI is emerging as the next frontier. The potential of AI in broadcast goes beyond just automation; it can provide predictive maintenance, smarter resource management, and even enhance content delivery through improved data analytics. Another crucial area for improvement in the industry is the need for better after-sales support from manufacturers. Proper data management is essential—customers should be automatically informed when new software updates are available, with clear instructions and adequate support to ensure smooth transitions. Unfortunately, after-sales support is often an afterthought, but it should be taken seriously and structured in a way that ensures continuous service and client satisfaction. As the broadcast industry continues to evolve, staying ahead of these trends is critical for delivering high-quality, uninterrupted services. Embracing innovations like AI and pushing for stronger support systems from manufacturers will be key to navigating the future of broadcast technology. Provide valuable tips on troubleshooting common issues in AV systems. For instance, how to ensure uninterrupted transmission during live events or optimizing server management for media productions. Offering actionable solutions can attract clients who need expert support.
