Current Situation
Content owners are in the midst of transitioning more and more of their operations to IP-based infrastructure and virtualized environments but are also retaining their legacy SDI transport technology, making interoperability challenging.
Goals and Objectives
Enables hybrid networks consisting of legacy networks (e.g., SDI) and newer, more agile, open IP-based networks to seamlessly operate together and coexist, fostering new distribution avenues without a costly upheaval of the old distribution models
Technology Deployed
Interoperable technology for automatic discovery and registration of devices in IP workflows, Reliable Internet Stream Transport (RIST), routing and signaling protocols, IP routing distribution for video systems, and IP gateways
Use Case Summary
Interoperable technology creates an alternative to single vendor approaches that hinder innovation and block media companies from exploiting the economic and performance benefits of a more open and larger marketplace.
