Challenges in Video Production
• More efficiency
– Less production time
– Cost reduction
• 4K and beyond (anyway they are coming …)
– More data, higher quality expectation
– Workflow: Raw-based or Live (SDI-based)?
$$
4K
• Flexibility in video production workflow
– Embrace new technologies and new devices timely,
avoiding vender/format lock-in
Multi-format
– Faster cycle of video technology transition
– HD, 3D, 4K, 8K, …. (multi-format support required)

Server- and IP-based Solutions!
Flexibility
 Software-based system is
easily upgradable
 Adding new function as new
technologies to become
available
 IP network is widely available
Cost-effective
 More general purpose
equipment in video production
(e.g., PC server, small PCs, SSDs,
mobile devices. They are
relatively inexpensive)
 Cloud …

Quality
 Workflows with
uncompressed formats
 Communication among team
members beyond studio
Convenient
 Collaborative workflows (even
remotely)
 All content asset accessible
instantly

Secure IP Transmission
How to deal with any troubles in IP networks?
(miss configration, packet loss, delay, etc.)
• Forward Error Correction (FEC)
– Gateways and SHS XMS can operate with FEC
• Video Stream Monitoring (viaPlatz Stream
Monitor)
– Monitoring video packets in the network and
present the status of video streams visually
– Independent monitoring
