What is the IP Showcase All About – Stan Moote (CTO, IABM)
9.30 – 9.40
A brief introduction about the IP Showcase
IP and SDI Work Seamlessly Together – Karl Paulsen (CTO, Diversified)
9.40 – 10.00
One of the strong benefits of IP is that it works with SDI. Hybrid systems allow you to use existing workflows while migrating over to IP. Karl explains the ins and outs of IP/SDI Hybrid systems that are in use today with a clear focus on migrating to 100% SMPTE ST 2110 in the future.
The Challenge of IP Video: Empower and Educate Staff – Wes Simpson (Presenter, MEDIA 180 INC)
10.00 – 10.20
IP video systems need more than standards and cool new software to run smoothly, they need properly trained engineers and technicians to design and maintain them. Wes presents a case study of the hands-on training program used by a major broadcast services provider to educate its existing staff.
SDN for Contribution, Live Production and Playout Environments – “To IGMP or not to IGMP, That is the Question” – Gerard Phillips (Systems Engineer,
Arista Networks)
10.20 – 10.40
An introduction to how IP multicast flows, the foundation for the delivery of SMPTE ST 2110 and ST 2022-6/7, are delivered from source to destination in an IP network. Both IGMP and SDN approaches are discussed, with the aim to help end-users identify when and where these two approaches may be useful in their media networks.
Deep Dive into SMPTE ST 2110-21 Traffic Shaping and Delivery Timing for Video – Leigh Whitcomb (Architect, Imagine Communications)
10.40 – 11.00
Are you sure that the SMPTE ST 2110-20 receiver that you purchased can receive the SMPTE ST 2110-20 streams from all the SMPTE ST 2110-20 transmitters you purchased? What is this “Type N” and “W” all about? Why is there an SMPTE ST 2110-21 standard? This presentation explains the SMPTE ST 2110-21 standard and examines when equipment is interoperable and not.
AIMS Reference System Architecture Guidelines – Chuck Meyer (Chief Technology Officer, Production, Grass Valley/AIMS)
11.00 – 11.20
Chuck discusses providing reference system designs & guidelines that take account of the different types of Live Productions, as technology moves from SDI to IP.
How to Select the Right Server Package for Virtualized Production – Thomas Burns (CTO, Media & Entertainment, Dell EMC)
11.20 – 11.40
Software and system developers have learned to minimize latency and jitter when writing to physical NICs, but what are the parameters for virtual NICs in virtual machines? This presentation will explore select variables in hardware & software packages for virtual production.
Into the Green Zone – The Agile Media Blueprint – Richard Cartwright (CTO, Streampunk Media Ltd)
11.40 – 12.00
For the transition from broadcasting to personalized content, is it time to break down the walls of traditional media facilities? The Agile Media Blueprint (AMB) is a plan for end-to-end media production using Internet technologies. Complementary to SMPTE ST 2110, NMOS and MXF, what is the AMB, when will it be realized and how?
