Market Trends in TV Broadcast

Why is moving to the cloud/virtualization most important to your business?

How does Virtualization Work?

• actual machine=host

• guest machine=virtual machine

• virtual machine manager= hypervisor

How does Virtualization Work?

Bare Metal Virtualized

Virtualization Of…

• Broadcast applications

• Software processing and file-based media

• Processes with realtime video and audio streams

Virtualization of Broadcast Applications

Broadcast Applications

Playout Automation on-air w/VM Ware

– Multi-channel

– Redundant Architecture

– Core services & operator GUI clients

Web Browser/HTML5-based GUI

Software processing and file-based media

Software Applications Handling File-based Media

• Editing

• Conversion/transformation e.g.:

• Color management; HDR/SDR

• SD/HD format conversion

• Audio processing

• Standards/frame-rate conversion 25/29.97

• Aspect ratio conversion

• Program runtime shrinkage/expansion

Architectural Model

Client App MAM Orchestration

Application Model

• FIMS—standardized SOAP interface

• Under the auspices of AMWA

• Allows open API integration

Licensing Model

Client App MAM Orchestration

Multi-node, multi-user

Key Benefit:

• 5 concurrent jobs can be processed in real time

• Dedicated license server (licenses not tied to the workstations doing the media processing)

• One job queue providing orchestration for 5 processing nodes

• More nodes can be added with ease

Industry Trends

Challenges

• Virtualization adds cost

• Virtualization adds complexity

• Some efficiency loss from bare metal

• How do we monitor “new video”?

• How do we insure reliability

• How do we insure interoperability?

• It takes minutes to spin up a channel but the assumptions are: • Hardware in place • application, workflow, programming, etc., all in place

• Virtualization/IP is flexible but SDI is also adaptable
