SDNsquare to Introduce GRIDdiscovery at IBC 2022 : SDNsquare – a leading provider of SDN-based network management solutions for IP production environments – will be attending IBC2022 at booth 10.F40B, where they will be demonstrating the significant upgrades they have introduced to their core solution GRID, whilst also launching their new SDN-based GRIDdiscovery solution, developed to manage existing IP infrastructures.   SDNsquare’s flagship GRID offering constitutes a highly flexible, intuitive and powerful SDN controller for greenfield sites where there is no existing IP-based infrastructure – and thus incorporates design and rollout along with ongoing operational management. But SDNsquare recognised that with the maturation of IP-based production, many broadcasters now maintain legacy IP systems which were implemented in the early days of IP understanding, and which could be significantly optimised through more effective network management. For this, they developed the GRIDdiscov...

Embracing the Edge of the network : As a recent report by Gartner recognises, it can be easy for companies to view the network demands associated with video delivery as a burden; a cost to be minimised, pushed aside, offset or eliminated where possible. But video is far more than a number of pixels making up a moving image: it’s a value asset. Digital media developers increasingly need to offer more to their audiences in relation to the way they access content; be it speed, reliability, quality, content diversity, location-independence, personalisation or interactivity, the way in which media is delivered to end users makes as much difference as the nature of the content contained therein. And this means that far from a cost and a burden, the way your content delivery system is structured becomes a strategic asset, not an encumbrance. It’s all a matter of change in mindset.

Bridge Technologies Integrate SCTE 104 and SCTE 35 Marker Monitoring : In preparation of their participation in this September’s IBC (Booth 1.A71), Bridge Technologies today announces the addition of SCTE 104 and SCTE 35 marker monitoring to their suite of broadcast monitoring probes, including the flagship VB330. The new functionality will allow broadcasters the ability to more closely monitor and control the integration of downstream ad insertion.   With ad insertion increasingly important to broadcasters, the placement of SCTE 104 and SCTE 35 markers is of vital importance, ensuring seamless Quality of Experience for viewers, but also ensuring that the deliverables promised to advertisers are met by operators. With markers being used across the value chain, there is a need for joined-up and holistic monitoring of them across all service types, be this at the mezzanine, OTT, or broadcast level.

Working Towards Protocol Harmony in the Broadcast Industry : The concept of interoperability remains one of our biggest hurdles – in the broadcast industry. The propagation of different standards and approaches to various networking tasks continues to grow, with no sign of convergence in sight. But is harmonization what we need? Or is there good reason to maintain variation in the range of network protocols that we retain as an industry? We think that’s a question worthy of further exploration…
