Video And Audio Over IP
Contributing Editor David Kirk reviews the latest developments in IP-based content delivery...

V

ideo and Audio over IP was one of
the three strongest themes at IBC
2015 in September, along with 4K and
the rapidly accelerating interest in high
dynamic range television.
This article looks at the latest
developments in IP-based content
delivery, primarily in a production
context but inevitably including
delivery to the end viewer. There
is a growing tide of opinion that IP
infrastructure will completely replace
SDI in the long term, succinctly
summarised by Peter Thomsen, Deputy
Managing Director of Danmon Group
Systems: "The broadcast industry is
facing fast-paced change away from
dedicated
broadcast
technology
towards software-driven systems
running on commercial off-the-shelf
IT based servers and softwaredefined network infrastructure. This
transition has reached the point
where IP based infrastructure looks
likely to supplement SDI-based video
infrastructure on an increasing
scale. Looking beyond the next two
to three years, that transition could
even become total. The impact on
the systems integration sector is that
our offer is becoming more oriented
towards delivering experience and
knowledge-based services than ever
before. Success is about exploring the
many opportunities arising from the
combining technology in original ways.
It is about best-practise and resources
to transform ideas into reality in a
speedy and secure manner."
Aspera announced at IBC 2015 a
next generation FASP 3.6 platform
and direct-to-cloud storage transfer
capability with automatic scaling

Edgeware's VCP platform

of transfer capacity and supporting
all major cloud storage platforms.
The platform moves media formats
(including 4K) from source directly
to object storage destination with
native I/O for SoftLayer Swift, AWS S3,
Azure BloB, Akamai NetStorage and
Limelight, at line speed with support
for server-side encryption. New cluster
management, multi-tenant access key
and API features allow customers to
combine cloud storage and high speed
transport.
Axon Digital Design demonstrated
an Ethernet Audio Video Bridging
(AVB)
based
proof-of-concept
system designed for use in live video
productions.
The
demonstration
included management of 216 high
definition streams distributed over
IT switchers. New products will be
automatically detected in the network
and files will be transferred from one
switch to another without the need
for a software defined network. Audio
will be sent separately over the same
network without the need to embed
it. With clock reference streams
embedded in AVB, separate reference
distribution is no longer required.

NTP Technology's
Blue | Net

Axon also used this system to show
SMPTE S2022-6 compatible operation
with a Utah Scientific router delivering
SDI and S2022 content to other areas
of Axon's booth. Following its recent
collaboration with the European
Broadcasting Union and Belgian public
broadcasting company VRT on the
world's first live IP production studio,
Axon also supported demonstrations
of the LiveIP project on the EBU's
stand which featured Axon's Synview
networked multiviewer in an S2022
infrastructure.
Dalet's Brio is aimed at broadcast
customers looking for non-proprietary
hardware to digitise and play their
content, either complementing or
replacing existing video servers.
Built on an IT-based video platform,
Brio units are designed to ingest and
play out broadcast-quality video in
SD, HD and UHD. Industry standard
wrappers such as MXF or MOV and
AVI are supported, enabling seamless
workflow integration with third party
NLEs and Dalet production tools. Dalet
Brio supports DV-based codecs, AVCi,
AVC LongG HD, Sony XAVC-Intra and
Long GOP HD Playout Support and
most of the MPEG2 family including
intra and long-GOP (IMX and XDcam
HD), H264 and even proprietary
codecs such as ProRes, DNxHD and
Sony SRMaster (SStP). All formats
can be played out back-to-back, with
upconversion and downconversion
when required.
Digigram announced a new V7
software release for its AQILIM range
of codecs for multiscreen/OTT video
delivery and its AQORD codecs for
broadcast contribution applications.
The refinements introduced in the
V7 software release make it even

easier for AQILIM and AQORD users to
establish IP-based video contribution
and distribution. A new dual streaming
feature helps users secure video
transport between two locations.
This feature enables the use of two
contribution routes (such as SDSL,
fibre, IP or satellite) to protect video
transmission against IP packet drops
or failed links.
Edgeware's VCP is a hardware
accelerated,
software
defined
consolidated platform for the delivery
of next-generation TV and video
services. It consists of VCP Edge CDNbased caching and distribution and
the VCP Origin unit. The VCP consists
of Edgeware's Convoy Management
software, which enables real-time
analytics on ABR streams, and the
company's Orbit servers.
Elemental
&
Technicolor
demonstrated what was claimed to
be the world's first broadcast delivery
of live 4K High Dynamic Range (HDR)
video at IBC 2015. The demonstration,
which was optimised for broadcasters
and pay-tv networks, showed how
distributors can upscale high frame
rate, Standard Dynamic Range (SDR)
events, such as sports. Technicolor
and Elemental also demonstrated
compatibility between Technicolor's
single layer backward compatible
HDR delivery system and the 4K/
HEVC-ready Elemental Live video
encoder. Technicolor's HDR delivery
system allows use of a single stream
combining both HDR and SDR video,
enabling distributors to simultaneously
support SDR and the rapidly
emerging audience of HDR screens.
This backward compatible feature
is essential to meet the bandwidth
requirements for pay-tv operators
