Audio-Video Signal Distribution is an important process in every broadcast production infrastructure. During the process, input signals are duplicated into one or more identical copies, using distribution modules. Radio/TV production signals are in digital or analog formats or combinations of both. Broadcast centers need to process various input signals by dozens of different equipment and devices; and exactly here is where distributor modules come into play to generate similar copies of an original signal to be used by multiple broadcast devices. SAMIM DVD-3214 is a 12G/3G/HD/SD-SDI/ASI and video distribution amplifier operating as single-channel or dual-channel modules. A re-clocker for jitter removal and an equalizer for cable loss compensation are the main capabilities of the module. For reliability in the signal chain and in the case of power failure, the main input signal line is routed to the output by the bypass relay tool. DVD-3214 is one of our best-seller products which helps broadcasters provide as many signal lines as they need for their various production and broadcast workflows. #sdi #broadcast #production #samim_group

IP migration drives efficiency in broadcast production! 📺 Today's evolving broadcast landscape calls for innovation. With IP-based workflows revolutionising broadcast production, we're witnessing unprecedented efficiencies and scalability. This shift from traditional SDI to IP infrastructures is not just a trend—it's a significant transformation. Have you felt the change in your production workflow yet? IP migration reduces the constraints of physical hardware, enabling seamless production flexibility. This adaptability means broadcasters can respond more rapidly to technological advancements and content demands. The BBC's recent embrace of IP-based systems has reportedly cut production time by 20%, showcasing the tangible benefits of this migration (source: BBC Tech Report 2023). Ultimately, the move to IP-based production is about more than just technology; it's about empowering teams to create and deliver content more efficiently and with greater creative freedom.

Bridge Technologies develop unique PTS-PCR checks and alarms NAB Show Xpresso Communications | PR & Marketing for Technology Innovators Building upon their market-leading understanding of IP broadcast, packet behaviour and timing, Bridge Technologies today announce the development of two new PTS/PCR time checks, which will provide even more in-depth analysis of misalignment and timing slippage, and allow for detection of hard-to-identify buffer timing issues, which – under traditional PTS/PCR comparison checks included in as part of the standard TR 101 290 checks  – might previously have been missed. These checks will be available as part of the new version 6.2 upgrade, available for all Bridge Technologies’ probes, include their flagship VB330 IP monitoring probe. Whilst IP-based broadcast delivers innumerable benefits in terms of audio-visual delivery, the complexity of timing issues associated with IP can cause issues in terms of sync, not only between audio and video, but also additional elements such as subtitles. These individual assets generally maintain their own PTS (Presentation timestamp) within each stream, which can then be referenced against the PCR (Program Clock Reference) to ensure alignment. Whilst clock slippage necessarily constitutes a part of most major IP monitoring systems by virtue of the mandatory PTS Repetition check that forms part of the ETSI TR 101 290 specification, its analysis generally only goes as far as indicating presence of slippage. As such, it lacks diagnostic or predictive power. In SFN-based terrestrial networks or in head-end satellite ingest systems particularly, conventional clock slippage monitoring methods may often prove insufficient. #nabshow2024 #nabshow #ip #broadcast #audio #video #ipbroadcast #audiovisual https://lnkd.in/eWwJpJgN

🔍 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

BSP - BROADCAST SMART PLATFORM! REACHING ANYONE, ANYWHERE! With the DTT and Radio standards implementation we have integrated and installed thousands of transmitters around the Planet, becoming one important actor inside the Broadcasting Networks scenario, but we never thought that our mission was close to be considered accomplished. We kept on wondering how we could implement the networks with new ideas and opportunities and one of the targets we started to focus on, was how bring the broadcasting signals to those population having clear difficulties to be reached with the standard technologies and systems. That’s why we, at Telsat, wanted to go some steps ahead developing a new concept for a broadcasting site: the BSP – Broadcast Smart Platform. We understood that we did not need just a new transmitter with some classic receiver in a small shelter: we needed a complete system, with very flexible/customizable architecture, because every Country/Government has different approaches on the broadcasting regulation and we had to be ready to satisfy at least most possible requirements, both for TV and Radio! The BSP had to allow the realization of totally self-sufficient transmission sites, by using mono-directional satellite or IP distribution, to be powered also with alternative sources, such as solar panels or wind energy (let’s go Green!). Then it needed to be very robust, with no maintenance and very easy to be handled, installed and assisted. But most of all, it needed to be completely monitorable and configurable in remote. We are conscious that a reliable and ultimate hardware is an important point, but we are as well extremely aware that the management software is the key-factor that must allow the complete overview of the BSP in remote in the easiest and most detailed way, especially because it is typically installed in sites that are not always easy to be reached: that's why we invested a lot of resources to have a very smart and user-friendly graphic interface. The BSP is real complete portable broadcasting site, created in a single, mast-mounted, small-sized weather-proof enclosure for Outdoor use, that allows scalable investments where the ROI would be impossible to achieve with the traditional business model. The BSP has been designed to realize cell-based-network-models to cover large areas with a smart distribution of low-power units, avoiding the use of expensive structures to host medium or high-power transmitters, which are often covering unnecessary areas, with consequent waste of energy and money. #BSP #Broadcast #Transmitters

Report of the #DVBWorld 2024 conference Summary of the conference : https://lnkd.in/gTtaMyTV I had not been at the DVB World for the last 5 years, and since I have been invited as a keynote speaker to present on “The TV industry transformation”, it was a good opportunity for me to reconnect with my ex colleagues, for the record, I have been involved in several work items, the one I was chairing while at Harmonic within the Commercial Module were : UHD DASH, mABR and Targeted advertising, all commercially deployed by now, so you always feel good when (sometimes heavily combated…) ideas are transformed into Euros. A DVB Project conference report is available at : https://lnkd.in/gKKKNyx5, this gives you an idea of what was discussed during the 2 days conferences. The conference was split in 3 parts: the demos running all the time, the presentations (day1), and the unconference (day2): 1️⃣ The presentations were in a short format, and therefore straight to the point, see report: https://bit.ly/3VA75uB 2️⃣ There were several demos covering DVB-I, Broadband via satellite, Volumetric video, Film grain synthesis, SMT streaming, 5G broadcast w/DVB-I, DVB-NIP LCEVC decode/encode: see report https://bit.ly/3ISWWBx 3️⃣ My keynote about the “TV industry transformation” talking about the changes our industry has to go through is summarized in https://bit.ly/49l13kY The unconference was made of 32 different sessions, I was able to attend 4: codecs, HD or UHD, Mobile broadcast and DVB DASH/DASH IF/SVTA ones. It was very productive, night and day versus a zoom session where you cannot get any dynamic in the call. Lots of follow up to be done though. To me, this is the best DVB world conference I have ever attended as we were able to cover a lot of subjects in those 2 days, and I feel DVB is listening to what happens in the TV market and is also willing to stay at the center of all the standardization discussions of Media (Audio/Video/Subtitles/Metadata) in the world  and is even also looking at talking the API language! Thx to Eoghan O'Sullivan for organizing the conference and inviting me to present & participate.
