I
recently went to visit a new broadcast operation shortly
before its on-air launch. is wasnt a broadcaster, but
a telco, and the program playout is by a service pro-
vider that is just being acquired by a supplier of telco
equipment and services (Ericsson). So where is the broad-
cast expertise coming from, or is it still even necessary?
e operator, BT Sport, is a new UK sports network. It
is using some well-known production companies for pro-
gramming and a facilities company to run the operation.
e sales operation is outsourced to another broadcaster,
all proving that you dont really need to be a broadcaster
to broadcast.
Companies such as Netix and YouTube have already
shown that on-demand content can be delivered by a
company with the knowledge
to run global content delivery
networks, and that is more of an
IT issue rather than broadcast.
BT Sport, in contrast, is airing
live sports.
So what is a broadcaster?
From the publics point of view,
it is a brand for some channels.
e brand is indicative of the
genre and format of programs
that it carries. Who runs it,
who commissions, who sells air-time and who delivers
the channels is of no interest to the public; they dont care.
Its the brand thats the thing.
New entrants to the business of channels and brands
come with a fresh approach. ey havent kept transmit-
ters on-air through hurricanes, seen spots lost through
VTR head clogs, dealt with cra unions and acquired all
the decades of knowledge from monochrome to color to
HD broadcasting.
For the new entrants, its all about the brand, buying
rights, syndicating, sales the business of broadcasting.
e rest is an IT issue, possibly to be outsourced.
Is it the end of broadcasting as we know it? Of course
not. e public still watches the big broadcasters for most
of their television entertainment; Internet viewing is still a
small proportion of viewing in all the surveys. Over 50 or
more years, broadcasters have accumulated a huge knowl-
edge of how to run brands and how to acquire popular
programming. e unknown is how they will adapt to
multiplatform delivery and how much of the audience new
entrants such as BT Sport as well as Netix and YouTube
will take from the legacy brands.
The fragmentation of
viewing to new platforms,
and new entrants to the busi-
ness, means that viewing is split between ever more media
companies. Yet the advertising cake is not growing apace,
so the slice gets thinner per broadcaster. Subscriptions rep-
resent another revenue source, but there is a limit as to how
much the public will pay for triple play/channel bundles or
pay-per-view. e result: Air more content for less revenue.
e answer is to nd more e cient and less costly ways to
broadcast. Program makers also feel the pressure and must
be more cost-eective in a tightening market.
Where does that leave broadcast engineers? e
forward-looking engineers will be morphing into IT
engineers with a specialty in broad-
cast operations. ey will become
someone who understands audio
and video. Broadcast engineers
will become the bridge between the
creative types and the network and
storage specialists, the traditional
IT engineers.
The business is not evolving
wholly to run on a computer sys-
tem. ere is all the paraphernalia
of live production: lenses and cam-
eras, lighting rigs, camera support, wireless links and
microphones. Much of this equipment may use embed-
ded computers, but they are essentially video and audio
equipment, not data processors. I am reminded that digital
microphones exist, but you have to search hard to nd
them in use. An analog signal comes out of the micro-
phone. In the stagebox? Ah, that is a dierent story.

The worlds most popular converters are now available in two families,
for the studio or heavy duty for live outside broadcast! The new heavy
duty models are machined from solid aluminum so they look beautiful
and are super tough! There are 14 models including HDMI, analog,
optical ber, audio embedding/de-embedding and up, down, cross
conversion. Mini Converters are even available as OpenGear

cards
for when you need a rack mount solution.
Auto Switching SD and HD
Mini Converters instantly switch between all SD and
HD formats, including NTSC, PAL, 1080PsF23.98,
1080PsF24, 1080PsF25, 1080i50, 1080i59.94, 1080i60,
720p50, 720p59.94 and 720p60. Updates can be loaded via USB.
Redundant SDI Input
Mini Converters feature a redundant input and loop
through SDI output. Connect a redundant SDI cable
to the second input, and if the main SDI input is lost, Mini Converters
will automatically switch over in an instant. Thats great for mission
critical tasks such as live events.

roadcasters have many
challenges as the media
business evolves, driven
by new consumer devices
and the increase in mobile viewing.
National broadcasters are facing
more competition from global op-
erators. New entrants like YouTube
and Netix have changed the VOD
landscape. Broadcasters that once
aired one channel now air a mul-
tiplex of linear channels, as well
provide catch-up and mobile servic-
es. Summing up, broadcasters must
deliver to more platforms, linear and
on-demand, in a more competitive
business environment.
To meet these challenges, a busi-
ness must become more agile. Many
other sectors have faced similar
challenges, and part of the solution
for many has been to turn to new
sofware applications, particularly
business process management (BPM)
and the service-oriented architec-
ture (SOA). Although each can be
used stand-alone, BPM and SOA are
frequently used in concert as a plat-
form to improve the performance of
a business.
Operations that use videotape were
constrained by the need for manual
handling, but as content migrates
from videotape to digital les, the way
is open to use IT-based methodolo-
gies, including BPM and SOA, to aid
broadcast operations.
What is SOA?
SOA is a design methodology for
sofware systems. SOA is not a prod-
uct, but an architecture to deploy
loosely coupled software systems
to implement the processes that
deliver a business workow. SOA
provides a more viable architecture
to build large and complex systems
because it is a better t to the way
human activity itself is managed
by delegation. SOA has its roots
in object-oriented software and
component-based programming.
In the context of the media and
entertainment sector, SOA can
be used to implement a media
factory, processing content from the
production phase through to multi-
platform delivery.
Legacy broadcast systems
Traditional broadcast systems
comprise processing silos coupled
by real-time SDI connections, le
transfer and an assortment of control
protocols. Such systems are optimized
for a specic application and may pro-
vide a good price/performance ratio
with high eciency.
SOA for broadcasters
Business tools help meet growing service demands.
BY DAVID AUSTERBERRY
Te tight coupling of legacy sys-
tems makes it dicult to upgrade
or replace one or more components.
Tese applications are typically cou-
pled via proprietary APIs, as shown in
Figure 1. If the sofware is upgraded
to a new version, the API can change,
necessitating changes to other appli-
cations that are using the API work
that is usually custom.
It makes it dicult to extend to add
new functionality to the system to
meet the ever-changing demands of
multi-platform delivery and evolving
codec standards. Storage architec-
tures change with object-based and
cloud storage to become alternates to
on-premise NAS and SAN arrays.
When vendors upgrade products,
the new versions ofen do not support
legacy operating systems, leading to
the need to replace underlying com-
puter hardware platforms.
Traditional systems are just not
agile enough to easily support the
new demands of the media business.
Ofen new multi-platform systems
are tacked on to existing linear play-
out systems in an ad-hoc manner to
support an immediate demand. Te
system grows in a way that eventu-
ally becomes dicult to maintain
and operate.
Traditional systems
are just not agile
enough to easily
support the new
demands of the
media business.

APIs.

The new
G&D ConTrolCenTer-DiGiTal
The new G&D ControlCenter-Digital is the KVM
Matrix Switch thats ready to integrate with
your broadcast equipment and installations
today. Modular and able to adapt to virtually
any environment, its also ready for the future.
As a modular system, transmission cards can
be CAT or ber or both and can be replaced
during operation. Each port is exible, to be
used as an input or output. The ControlCenter-
Digital is cascadeable and fully compatible
with the G&D DVICenter. Like the DVICenter, it
also provides brilliant video quality, is intuitive
and has an easy to congure user interface, a
monitoring facility and SNMP.
The system supports all relevant signals
single-link DVI, PS/2 and USB keyboards and
mice, audio, USB 2.0 transparent and RS232.
For high video bandwidths, a dual-link DVI/
Display Port will follow. A host of other
features include the capacity for multi-monitor
workstations with CrossDisplay-Switching,
three redundant power packs (replaceable in
operation) and, of course, G&Ds renowned
solid build quality.
For the stations and studios of today and
for the ever changing demands of the road
ahead, the new ControlCenter-Digital from
G&D.

Monitoring no
overall visibility
Traditional systems also suffer
from a lack of visibility of the inter-
nal processes. Individual processes
may display the status on a local user
interface, but it is di cult to obtain an
overall view (dashboard) of the opera-
tion of the business.
As broadcast strives for more ef-
ciency, it is vital to have an overall
view of technical operations as an aid
to manage existing systems and guide
future investment. Many broadcasters
already have end-to-end alarm moni-
toring, but resource usage may only
be monitored for billing purposes,
and not to gain intimate knowledge
of hardware and soware utilization.
SOA in media
SOA is not new; it has been in
use for a decade or more in other
sectors including defense, pharma-
ceuticals, banking and insurance.
It developed from the principles of
object-oriented soware design and
distributed processing.
If SOA is common in other sec-
tors, why not just buy a system from a
middleware provider? e problem lies
with the special nature of media op-
erations. e media sector has lagged
other sectors in the adoption of such
systems for a number of reasons. ese
include the sheer size of media objects
and the duration of some processes.
A query for an online airline reser-
vation may take a minute at most; a
transcode of a movie can take several
hours. Conventional SOA implemen-
tations are not well suited to handling
such long-running processes.
What is a service?
A service is a mechanism to
provide access to a capability. A
transcoding application could ex-
pose its capability to transcode les
as a transform service. Examples of
services in the broadcast domain in-
clude ingest, transform, playout, le
moves and le archiving. e service
is dened at the business level rather
than the detailed technical level.
It could be said that many
broadcasters already operate service-
oriented systems; ey just dont
extend the methodology to the ar-
chitecture of technical systems.
Services share a formal con-
tract; now service contracts are
commonplace in broadcasting and
across the M&E sector, with com-
panies calling on each other for
capabilities such as playout, subti-
tling and eects, as examples. e
service-level agreement for playout
will include quality aspects such as
permitted downtime (99.999 percent).
Service contracts operate at the busi-
ness level, and ultimately may result
in monetary exchange.
Abstraction
e business management logic
may call for a le to be transcoded
from in-house mezzanine to YouTube
delivery format, but not dene the
specics of a particular make and
model of transcoder or the detail of
The media sector
has lagged other
sectors in the
adoption of such
systems for a
number of reasons.
Implementation of an SOA circumvents the traditional lack of an overall view of internal processes.

services, the benets of SOA are un-
likely to be fully realized.
For broadcasters used to running
departmental silos, many with re-
al-time elements, the move to SOA
will be a radical change to the way
the business operates. However, the
advantages of the SOA and allied sys-
tems like BPM are proving attractive
propositions for the broadcaster or
service provider running complex
le-based operations for multi-plat-
form delivery.
e problems facing a media com-
pany looking to embrace SOA and
BPM include change management
and the sheer problems of keeping
on-air through such huge changes in
the technical infrastructure support-
ing broadcast operations.
Many media companies have em-
braced the architecture, with early
adopters using considerable original
development of such components as
service adapters the vital link be-
tween a service like transcoding and the
workow orchestration middleware.
e use of consultants or internal
soware services to build a media
SOA will achieve the goal, but does it
make sense for all media businesses
to go their own way?
FIMS
It was this issue on which
the Advanced Media Workf low
Association (AMWA) and the
European Broadcasting Union
(EBU) independently agreed when,
in 2010, they decided to pool resourc-
es and set up the joint Framework for
Interoperable Media Services (FIMS)
Project, which would develop stan-
dards for a framework to implement
a media-friendly SOA.
e road will be long, and many
obstacles remain to be resolved, but
the success of this project will benet
both vendors and media companies
in the long run.
The FIMS solution aims to
provide a f lexible and cost-
effective solution that is reliable
and future-proof. It should allow
best-of-breed content processing
the le formats. is abstracts the
business logic from the underlying
technical platforms. A generic ser-
vice interface for le transform can
be dened, and then each transcoder
is wrapped by a service adaptor that
handles the complexity of the trans-
code process. To the business logic,
the transcode is simply a job. e
abstraction of the capability is a key
principle of the SOA.
In a legacy system, the ingest job
is delegated to an operator cong-
ures an encoder, and then starts and
stops the encoding at the appropriate
times. e operator is functioning au-
tonomously during the processes of
the job. ese concepts of delegation
and autonomy are key to the SOA de-
sign philosophy. e encoding may
well be automated as a computer
process, but the principles remain
the same.
Because the service is abstracted,
it opens the way for broadcasters to
leverage cloud services more eas-
ily. As an example, at times of peak
transcode demand, a cloud transcode
service could be used to supplement
in-house resources. With a standard
service interface for transcoding, the
implementation can be an on-premise
or cloud-based service. e opera-
tion of the services is orchestrated by
a layer of middleware, soware that
manages business processes accord-
ing to the needs of the business.
A transform service can be used for
dierent business processes. For ex-
ample, a transcoder could be used to
transform les at ingest to the house
codec or used to create multiple ver-
sions of content for multi-platform
delivery. e transform services can
be redeployed to dierent depart-
ments as the needs of the le tra c
change from hour to hour.
Planning for a SOA
Migrating from traditional tightly
coupled systems to use SOA principles
is a big step for a media business. e
e cient operation of SOA requires
detailed analysis of business needs
and denition of services. It also re-
quires rigorous planning of the IT
infrastructure, computers and net-
works for e cient operation of the
services. Without the involvement

business systems.
e FIMS team released V1.0 in 2012
as an EBU specication, Tech 3356.
ree service interfaces have been spec-
ied: transform, transfer and capture.
e FIMS Project has expanded on
the conventional SOA with additional
features to meet the needs of media
operations. Specically FIMS adds
asynchronous operation, resource
management, a media bus and security.
Asynchronous operation allows for
long-running services. A transcode
may take hours; conventional SOA
implementations allow for processes
that complete in seconds or minutes.
Although services are loosely cou-
pled to the orchestration, jobs can
still be run with time constraints.
is may be simply to start a job at a
certain time, but services can also be
real time, like the capture and playout
of streams. In these cases, the job re-
quests for the service will also include
start and stop times for the process.
For playout, this concept is no dier-
ent from a playlist or schedule.
SOA typically is based on an en-
terprise service bus (ESB) that carries
XML messages between service pro-
viders and consumers. A media bus
provides a parallel bus to the ESB to
carry the large media essence les.
Many le-based operations will al-
ready have media IP networks that can
be adapted to provide the platform for
the media bus, as shown in Figure 2.
The future
Soware methodologies like SOA
and BPM help media businesses
manage file-based operations in
more e cient ways and better serve
the needs of multi-platform deliv-
ery. ey provide a holistic approach
to running business operations that
provide better visibility of opera-
tions and simpler ways to leverage
cloud services.
ey have proved successful in
other sectors and are ready to meet the
unique needs of the media sector.

Beyond the heAdlines

hannel branding has been in
existence for as long as there
have been channels, except
for several decades it was re-
ferred to as station identication.
In the early days, TV branding was
simple. It had to be. Even in the early
1970s, a VTR cost as much as a row of
houses, and there were no viable com-
puter graphics. Cometh the channels,
cometh the technologies!
Today hundreds of TV channels are
easily accessible, aordable technolo-
gy for branding is in a totally dierent
league of availability and aordabil-
ity, and branding exists whether we
like it or not. However, such power
needs to be used with discretion.
Good branding gives the viewers
a good impression, and so creates a
bias toward that channel. Rather than
leaving viewers to come to their own
conclusions, broadcasters can then
actively manage that impression and
expand the branding as the channel
becomes more popular.
Bugs good and bad
Tere are many ways a channel can
brand itself and typically, for a major
channel, all methods are used. Te
channel ID, or bug, usually placed
in the top lef or right corner, is most
popular. Aesthetically, this has to do
its job of labelling the channel with-
out distracting viewers from watching
the program. Its up to the graphic
designer to get it right. Technically,
displaying the bug involves keying
a graphic over the channels output,
perhaps in a downstream keyer. Some
are transparent; some are solid. Today
we would hope the keying avoids
producing ragged edges, implying
some proled key rather than the
old hard key. To achieve this 40 years
ago using the equipment of the time
was not easy. Today it can be simple
and inexpensive.
Some channels like to animate
the bug. Tis means there must be
some form of video replay to run
this video and key. As humans are
historically hunter-gatherers, and so
programmed to notice movement
even in peripheral vision viewers
are bound to be distracted by the bug.
Tis may be counterproductive and
turn the viewer away.
Tis simplest form of branding
is important as viewers should im-
mediately, or within milliseconds,
recognize the channel by the bug/
logo when surng the many avail-
able channels. However, the bug is
very basic and not likely to encourage
viewers to watch and stay loyal to the
channel. So there is usually a range
of other elements that make up the
complete channel branding package.
Creating a brand
Channel branding is much more
than establishing an identity; it is
about creating a brand that will get
viewers to watch the channel and

keep watching, as well as recommend
the channel to others. Multichannel
broadcasters will want to promote
across all their channels and plat-
forms. Channel branding is all
about gaining viewers and keep-
ing them watching your channels
and, for commercial channels,
increasing revenues.
Competition for viewers is greater
than ever, so channels are demanding
ever more powerful ways to promote
their brand within what is usually an
extremely limited budget. Te good
news is that, today, with the advances
in technology, the process of achiev-
ing the required on-air look can be
exible and high quality. At the high
end, many branding systems, includ-
ing some channel-in-a-box (CIB)
systems, can meet and exceed the
requirements cost-eectively. Unlike
the early days, the on-air technology
no longer limits channel-branding
presentation. Tis throws the chal-
lenge back to the artists, designers
and even the accountants, to supply
eective branding materials, as, from
the broadcast engineering position,
Branding elements can comprise a variety of graphical elements, from the ever-
popular bug to cross-channel branding, but it is wise to start the promotion
before the show ends to avoid losing viewers to other channels.

New branding technology allows news channels to create templates for current
weather information, for instance, by taking metadata from the Internet.
we can present it on-air. It is up to
the channels creative powers, not
the technology.
Typically, graphics experts will
have produced the designs, and these
designs need information text to
be added when it goes to air. Using
traditional TV equipment for video,
stills, text, animation, on-air mixing,
keying, sizing, positioning, timing
and sequencing, it can get complicat-
ed to do this live. For this reason, the
packages are pre-recorded so all that
has to happen to put the piece to air
is simply to replay the clip and cut it
on-air. at is possible with clips of
some length, but attempting to cue a
two-second bumper or sting all a
part of the on-air look would be
asking too much of VTRs. One way
around this is to pre-record every
break sacricing exibility and
increasing workload. Another is the
cart machine, a mighty, elaborate
electromechanical wonder that could
do the job, but at a considerable cost.
Flexibility
Today with the agility of disk
storage, CIB, and other le-based
playout and graphic systems, the
whole workow changes, becoming
more e cient, much lower cost and
reliable. What stays the same are the
original graphic elements and their
choreography, which are designed
by experts. But now they are created
on computers and delivered as les.
Any additional branding elements
can be pre-programmed and added
live on-air with up-to-date informa-
tion from last-minute scheduling or
from Internet or metadata. e dy-
namic display of the graphics, videos,
new text, etc. is run live by the on-air
graphics engine.
Given the exibility of modern
on-air graphics systems, there are
many ways the channel can grab
the viewers attention and deliver
the message that will keep them
on-channel. For example, as one
program is nishing a quick crawl,
a lower third or squeeze back can
show the Coming Up Next or, for
multichannel broadcasters, Starting
Now On ... messages over the end
credits. is can be eective with, or
without, a voice over. However, wait-
ing until the program ends is too late,
as viewers could already be scanning
other channels. Of course, the con-
tent of the message is important;
giving information about upcoming
similar programs could well attract
current viewers.
Channel branding vehicles can
comprise items such as trailers, break
bumpers, line-up menus, forthcom-
ing programs, and cross-platform and
cross-channel branding. But all this
needs to be delivered in such a way as
not to disturb or deter viewers from
watching the channel. For instance,
music channels create templates for the
singer/group and song title. Dierent
templates are oen used for dier-
ent shows, but the information comes
from the metadata of the clip, or from
the MAM, and is automatically shown
aer the clip starts and again near the
end. Also using the same metadata
or MAM, the coming-up-next clips
can be created and shown, even if the
music clips are interactive and shown
in viewer-rating order.
News channels can create tem-
plates for latest information. is can
be news tickers, share prices, weather
and exchange rates. ese may take
the metadata from a database, or the
Internet, to keep the information
current. Information can be shown
concurrently or sequentially with
added graphics generated by the com-
puter. So arrow-up, arrow-right and
arrow-down graphics can indicate the
direction of share-price movement
from the last-shown data or from the
days opening prices.
Remote channels
e most developed CIB systems
can comprise just commercial o-
the-shelf hardware and CIB soware.
Given reliable operation, playout sys-
tems based on this technology can
run fully redundant automatic remote
playout anywhere in the world via
the Internet. is can make deliver-

Branding graphics
with local branding and content, an
economic reality, even for small audi-
ences. It enables the whole operation
to be run from an established broad-
cast center to worldwide locations at
a cost that makes sense.
Advertisement insertion systems
allow network content to be locally
branded. Targeting advertisements
for specic audiences with ad inser-
tion and digital program insertion, a
station can use local or network ad-
vertising to maximise the business
potential for the local audience.
All in a box
Some CIB systems oer a cost-
eective turnkey le-based solution
that combines video playback and rich
branding graphics both generated
from the same box. en good graph-
ics and some simple programming is
all that is needed for the channel to be
considered one of the best available.
Modern viewers
Todays viewers are far better
equipped than in past decades. Many
have PVRs and tend to watch pro-
grams later. ey will skip adverts
and many of the channel-branding
messages that link the programs.
is is another reason for the brand-
ing to start before the program ends
even before the nal credits. A
strap or crawl in the nal minutes
of the program is becoming more
commonplace, as are lower thirds.
Lower thirds, however, really need to
be previewed to make sure that they
do not interfere with the program.
at can make this option more
labor-intensive.
Cross-platform branding is also
popular with most channels. Having a
website available for viewers to watch
other programs has distinct advantag-
es, as there is no PVR to fast forward
over the adverts and branding mes-
sages. Websites are also there to sell
channel-branded and other third-party
products, giving the broadcaster anoth-
er branding opportunity.
Social media also plays a key
role in channel branding. It allows
users to create, share and exchange
information and ideas. Many view-
ers comment about programs they
are watching on Twitter, Facebook,
LinkedIn and MySpace using hash
tags. ese hash tags allow chan-
nels to access more branding
opportunities, as well as deliver mes-
sages to both viewers and their social
media contacts.
Today many TV channels are in-
tegrating social media into their
programs, so to appear more live and
interactive with their viewers (al-
though many are computer-generated
with basic moderation to remove un-
wanted messages). A modern NRCS
can take feeds from news wires but
can also handle social message feeds
for the news program, website and
back to the social media feeds.
Channel branding is here to stay,
and it will continue to be a challenge
for broadcasters who strive to achieve
the best branding at the least cost. All
TV channels realize that the better the
channel branding, the better the bot-
tom line. Now, the second screen also
has to be incorporated into the chan-
nel-branding package, but automation
has to play a critical part in channel
branding, otherwise costs will rocket.
Branding is also about having good
programs. Good branding cannot
make up for bad programs; however,
good branding can make a channel
seem better than others showing sim-
ilar programming. is is especially
important for, say, music channels
that have access to essentially similar
music videos. Here branding can, and
does, make a dierence.

ontent creation and distri-
bution have moved from a
tape-only infrastructure to
one that must now support
multiple hard media types, including
portable and xed disks, as well as solid-
state memory. All of this requires
increasing amounts of mass storage,
and with that, more sophisticated and
complex workows. With more con-
tent being handled in le-based form,
emphasis must now be placed on le
storage in the broadcast plant.
Integrated network storage
File-based data and digital con-
tent today can be stored and accessed
using essentially three types of ar-
chitectures, currently based on
the hard-disc drive (HDD): direct
attached storage (DAS), network at-
tached storage (NAS) and storage
area networks (SAN). In a DAS
system, storage devices are di-
rectly connected to and ofen
physically integrated within a
workstation or other client system;
one form of DAS is a set of hard drives
within a workstation, not necessarily
connected to a network.
With a DAS system, the storage
devices cannot be directly shared
with other clients, making effi-
cient workows hard to implement:
Management systems are complex,
and many copies of the content will
exist in different places, making
version control extremely dicult.
However, when combined with a fast
interface, DAS systems can provide
fast data access, because each stor-
age device specically supports the
system in which it is integrated. For
this reason, DAS has long been the
preferred solution in post-production.
But the use of DAS in broad-
cast workows is rapidly declining,
because higher-bandwidth data net-
works have now made shared network
storage practical, resulting in im-
proved eciencies and productivity.
Because DAS has the limitation that
stored data cannot be shared with
others for collaborative work, and
is dicult to coordinate and man-
age, content managers have been
switching to NAS, which allows the
stored content to be shared simul-
taneously among multiple clients.
NAS storage also has the advantage
of utilizing cost-eective high-speed
Ethernet interconnectivity, further
improving workows.
A storage area network (SAN) is a
dedicated network that connects disk
storage devices directly to managing
servers, using block-storage proto-
cols; le management is lef up to the
controlling server. SANs have also
provided a method to readily access
shared content, using a specialized
high-speed optical ber or GigE net-
working technology. With SANs,
access to data is at the block level,
similar to the physical-layer storage
on a hard-disk drive. SANs oer the
benet of fast, real-time content sys-
tems, but that performance comes at
a nancial cost. In order to provide
wide access to the content, SANs were
ofen combined with NAS, whereby
the latter lled the need for near-on-
line storage, with content archived in

a lower-cost, slower-access storage
tier. A SAN also requires a third-party
le system to be located on each client
system accessing the data on the stor-
age network with specialized network
adaptors. Tis makes interoperability
with other, more common le systems
a challenge.
In contrast, network attached
storage, as shown in Figure 1, oper-
ates at the le level, providing both
storage and a le system. Because of
the rapid drop in the cost of build-
ing and maintaining GigE networks,
as well as the increased performance
level of NAS networks, many content
producers and distributors are now
moving toward NAS technology for
content storage. In the past, in order
to assure 100-percent reliability, users
would rely on dual-redundant DAS
or SAN servers with redundant net-
work interfaces, so there would be no
single point of failure. But one of the
problems with DAS/SAN storage is
scalability; when content managers
need more storage, higher-speed ac-
cess, or more supported users, these
legacy systems most ofen required
redundant capacity, increased com-
plexity or completely new build-outs.
In contrast, a NAS system ofen can
scale easily, keeping up with perfor-
mance and storage needs, allowing for

growth, while combining the conve-
nience of a single expandable le
system with ease of use and uncom-
plicated management. NAS servers
ease system administration issues,
improve le sharing and reliability,
and provide high-speed performance.
By adding support for multiple pro-
tocols, Unix and NT users can share
stored les without requiring any spe-
cialized sofware on the clients. NAS
le network protocols include FTP,
HTTP and NFS, providing compat-
ibility with data management and
content editing systems, and allowing
versatile operating sofware to man-
age les, users and permissions easily.
Reliability and QC
For reliability, le storage systems
will ofen be grouped into redundant
clusters, with fail-safe prioritization.
One common way of doing this is in
a Redundant Array of Independent
Drives (RAID) storage cluster, which
uses either mirroring (full redun-
dancy) or mirroring combined with
striping (distributed data) to allow all
data to be accessible even if a num-
ber of drives fail. Mission-critical
drive systems can also be equipped
with redundant power supplies (or
with battery backup) and fans, with
nearly every component hot swappa-
ble, including the drives. In addition
to providing drive diagnostics, health
monitoring modules are available that
can anticipate and head o failures;
capacity expansion can be as simple
as adding more drive modules to an
existing system.
Solid-state drives (SSD), which
have gained popularity in small
laptops and netbooks, are based
on rapid-access Flash memory,
and would seem to be the next
phase of mass-storage technology.
SSD memory, which oers higher
speed and reliability than the Flash
memory used in USB thumb drives,
could oer performance gains com-
pared with disk-based storage.
However, SSD is probably several
years from practicality in the produc-
tion environment, because of high
cost, capacity limitations and unprov-
en long-term reliability. Although a
consumer-grade HDD currently
runs about E75 for a 1TB (terabyte =
1000GB) 2.5in drive, an SSD of the
same capacity and form factor would
cost about E450. Tats about E0.08/
GB for the HDD and E0.50/GB for the
SSD. (One hour of uncompressed 10-
bit 1080i requires 585GB.)
Todays broadcast/production
workow includes many component
processes. On the content ingest side
are satellite, Internet, and mobile asset
sources and interfaces. On the playout
side are various destinations, cong-
ured for real-time and le-based I/O
that include wired and wireless inter-
faces. In between these sits the asset
management/browsing/editing/ar-
chiving functions, which invariably
rely on multiple storage solutions.
Transcoding to multiple platforms
is already of growing importance,
and with the ever-growing amount of
content that must now be processed
much of it from amateur sources
quality control has become a criti-
cal issue. Although human input had
served this function in the past, the
sheer volume of production material
now requires automated QC to keep
up, much of it available oine, in fast-
er-than-real-time capacity. In addition
to the high-level function of detecting
(and correcting when possible) le er-
rors, sophisticated sofware can now
detect and re-process incorrect video
formats (resolutions and frame rates)
and levels (skin tones, black levels);
digital artifacts like blockiness and
contouring can be agged for re-
coding if possible. Sofware can now
monitor audio characteristics as well,
and provide a safeguard for dropouts
and even the now-important loudness
requirements of ATSC A/85, EBU
R-128 and EBU Tech 3341.
Future storage
requirements
Content handlers and producers
that have not yet upgraded to state-
of-the-art le storage will soon hit a
critical situation that will weigh heav-
ily on their CAPEX plans. Although
cloud solutions may oer a temporary
x, data security and ease of manipu-
lation mean that a more permanent
and integrated solution must be ad-
dressed now.

f you have been working with
video over IP for a while, you
probably are aware of at least two
approaches for streaming content
over IP networks. Te rst involves
moving professional video from the
venue back to the television network
facility, and the other is best-eort
streaming over the Internet.
Te rst provides highly reliable
transmission over highly managed
networks, probably based on the
SMPTE 2022 family of standards.
Te second involves using video serv-
ers to stream content on the Web to
end-user computers, with less than
reliable results. Video freezes, audio
dropouts and total loss of the feed
are commonplace.
Professional transmission of video
over IP is reliable, but it is relatively
expensive, it requires the grooming
of networks to ensure available band-
width, and the technology is not
deployed in desktop computers and
smart phones. Te second provides
less than perfect results for people
who are trying to consume broad-
cast content on something other
than a television set. Broadcasters
and media companies needed a
dierent alternative.
ABR concept
Te solution comes in the form of
adaptive bit rate streaming (ABR).
ABR is a technique that is used in sev-
eral products, from Apple, Microsof
and others. While the specics of the
technology vary, the concept is the
same. ABR technology allows the
streaming of video and audio over the
generic Internet without the afore-
mentioned problems by varying the
bit rate of the content being sent to the
consuming device, depending upon
the status of the link between sender
and receiver near the time the content
is to be consumed. Basically, the serv-
er sends high bit-rate content when a
high bit-rate connection is available to
the consumer, and it switches to lower
bit-rate content when the speed of the
connection is reduced.
Tere is a key concept behind ABR,
which allows everything to fall in to
place. Question: If you are receiving
a stream from a server, and you ini-
tially have a great connection, but you
move to a location with a poor con-
nection, how does the server know to
switch you from a higher bit-rate feed
to a lower bit-rate feed? Te answer is
that it doesnt! It is the receiver that
requests the change.
Tis is a key concept in ABR. ABR
diers signicantly from the video
over IP streaming that came before
it. ABR is a content pull technology,
meaning that it is the receiver that
requests the content, rather than
ABR streaming
learnmoreaboutthisinnovativewaytodeliver
contentoveriPlinksthatvaryinqualityovertime.
By Brad gilmer
the server that is pushing content to
the receiver.
In a system where the receiver pulls
content, the receiver knows whether
it has a high bit-rate connection to
the server or not. How does it know?
Tere are several ways for the receiver
to determine this. One technique is
to monitor video buer levels in the
receiver. If the amount of video in the
buer is decreasing, then the band-
width of the content is greater than
the available connection. Basically,
you are taking video out of the buf-
fer and feeding it to the display faster
than it is arriving at the input of the
receiver. If the amount of video in the
buer is increasing, then the band-
width of the content is lower than
the available connection; the oppo-
site condition is true. You are taking
video out of the buer and feeding it
to the display slower than it is arriving
at the input of the receiver.
Figure 1. As available link bandwidth changes, the receiver requests content encoded
at lower or higher bit rates.

In older IP streaming systems, if
the buer in the receiver is being
depleted, at some point the buer
empties and the video freezes (a buf-
fer underow). Tere is nothing the
receiver can do about it.
But what if the receiver can talk
with the server? What if the re-
ceiver is able to choose between
several channels, all of which
contain identical content, but
compressed at a dierent bit
rate? And what if the receiver is able
to ask the sender to change the chan-
nel being sent to it dynamically? Te
receiver could monitor its buer con-
dition. If the buer was becoming
depleted, the receiver could ask the
server to send a lower bit-rate version
of the same feed. If the bit rate of the
content is low enough, it will arrive
much more quickly than the previ-
ously streamed high bit-rate content,
allowing the buer to ll to a safe level.
Tis approach solves the freezing prob-
lem caused by buer underows.
But what about moving from a low
bit-rate connection to a higher one?
Te receiver continuously monitors
the available bandwidth. Exactly
how it does this varies from imple-
mentation to implementation,
but in one case, the receiver
probes the network by trying
to download a le that is essen-
tially bandwidth unlimited. It
notes the link speed, waits for some
period and then tries the download
again. If the receiver notices that more
bandwidth is available over a period
of time, it requests a higher bit-rate
channel from the server.
In many cases, users viewing an
ABR feed are unaware that chan-
nel switches are being made in the
background. In well-engineered ABR
systems, the steps between ABR chan-
nels are chosen to reduce drastic
changes in quality as the receiver moves
from one channel to another. Of
course, if the user is watching a feature
movie on a high-quality display and
the feed degrades quickly from high
bandwidth to low bandwidth, then
he or she is likely to see a dierence.
However, if the change takes place over
the course of a few minutes, most users
will not see the dierence. In any case,
a gradual loss of quality is much less
noticeable to end viewers compared to
a video freeze.
How exactly does this mechanism
work? How are the dierent channels
created? When a piece of content, a
feature-length movie, for example,
is ingested into an ABR system, it is
typically encoded at several dierent
bit rates. Te exact bit rates depend
upon the implementation, but, for our
example, lets say we code at 1.8Mb/s,
800Kb/s and 264Kb/s. When the movie
is ingested, three separate renditions of
308bew10-DE.indd 20 8/2/2013 3:18:09 PM
COMPUTERS & NETWORKS
DIGITAL HANDBOOK
the movie exist on the server one
for each bit rate. is may seem like
a waste of space, but it means that at
any time, when the receiver requests
a dierent bit rate, that coding rate al-
ready exists.
Chunking content
Here is another key concept of
ABR systems: Content is chunked
into many small les. A system may
chop up the recorded content into
three-second segments. So when the
whole ingest process is nished, a
single movie has been ingested and
converted into a number of three-
second chunks or les coded at
1.8Mb/s, the same movie has been
chunked into three-second les at
800Kb/s, and again, the same movie
has been chunked into three-second
les at 264Kb/s.
When a receiver sees that its buf-
fer is draining faster than it is being
relled, the receiver sends a request
for the next chunk at a lower bit rate.
Assuming the same network condi-
tions, the lower bit-rate chunk can
be delivered more quickly, so the re-
ceiver buer lls more rapidly. If this
lower bit-rate content can be delivered
quickly enough, then the receiver con-
tinues to request three-second chunks
from this lower bit-rate version until
network congestion improves.
Importantly, the chunking on each
le takes place at exactly the same time
so that the switch between the end
of one chunk of higher bit-rate con-
tent and a lower bit-rate chunk is not
disruptive to the viewer. Put anoth-
er way, the chunks are time-aligned
across dierent bit-rate renditions of
the movie. Chunk 1235 of the 1.8Mb/s
version is exactly the same content as
chunk 1235 of the 264Kb/s version.
Figure 1 on page 19 ties all of these
concepts together. In the top portion,
you can see that the available band-
width between the server and the
receiver changes over time. In the
lower portion of the gure, you can
see that the receiver requests high-
er or lower encoded bit-rate chunks
depending upon available link band-
width. is is the essence of ABR.
More to learn
ere is a lot to learn about ABR
technology. I hope that this introduc-
tory article whets your appetite and
that you will read more about this in-
novative way to deliver content over IP
links that vary in quality over time.

elevision broadcasting
changes quickly and is
being shaped by new usages
and services. Program oer-
ings and live events access continue
to grow signicantly. Every day, news
and sports contribution feed provid-
ers face the challenge of juggling the
number of programs they must de-
liver and available bandwidth. As the
number of programs is not constant,
broadcasters and service providers
need to continually optimize the use
of their bandwidth on their transport
multiplexes. Today, this process is pri-
marily done by a manual intervention
with limited scalability.
e MPEG standards oer an al-
ternative way of managing bandwidth
constraints dynamically named
Piecewise CBR, which can be used
to address this challenge and make
the operational workow as e cient
as possible. is new mode allows
a dynamic and seamless change of
the video elementary stream bit rate.
Operators in a truck or in a facil-
ity can use it to adapt and optimize
the bandwidth allocated to each sig-
nal with no interruption of service.
Seamless Channel Insertion (SCI)
provides exibility and opens au-
tomation possibilities in complex
contribution networks.
Multifeed contribution
context
Sports television program provid-
ers know well that the duration of a
soccer game is not always 90 minutes,
and the game may go into overtime.
Tennis nals can be delayed because
of rain, and a golf tournament could
last longer than expected. In this sit-
uation, a new channel may need to be
added in the multiplex while other
programs are unexpectedly overlap-
ping the scheduled transmission slot.
Hence, the sports feed distributor
could face a peak of usage in its mul-
tiplexes because the line-up of feeds
to deliver becomes too important
at the time. Live feed turn-around
operations are oen subject to im-
mediate changes, but it is unlikely
that world feed distributors will get
in touch with satellite or ber ser-
vice providers to instantly adapt the

bandwidth capacity. erefore, an
extra bandwidth capacity margin
will be rented and saved to be used
just in case.
On the technical side, in
a typical contribution mul-
tiplex, multiple-program
transport stream (MPTS),
each program bit rate needs to
be taken into account when booking
or planning the transport bandwidth
capacity. is capacity will depend
on the number of programs to turn
around, including their specica-
tions, such as the video format, the
number of audio channels, the type
of audio and the targeted video qual-
ity. erefore, optimizing the use of
the bandwidth in the multiplex can
become complex.
The challenge: Avoiding
service disruption when
applying changes
As the program line-up could vary,
the operator needs to free some band-
width in the broadcasted multiplex
to add a new channel in it. Moreover,
this needs to be done without af-
fecting the current services on-air.
Contribution content distributors,
such as Eurovision, from time to time,
need to adjust the video bit rate of
each video encoder in the same mul-
tiplexed MPTS.
Contribution video encoders con-
gured in classic CBR need to stop
and restart to produce a new MPEG-2
transport stream with a new video bit
rate. is induces a stream discontinu-
ity and therefore a black screen. Even
if this pause is generally short at the
encoder level, any MPEG-2 transport
stream disruption will cause a disrup-
tion at the decoder level, or should we
say, at the viewer level.
Optimizing the use
of the bandwidth in
the multiplex can
become complex.
Denition
Seamless Channel Insertion (SCI) is based on the open/nonproprietary standard
called Piecewise CBR. Piecewise CBR extends the conventional constant-bit-rate
mode (CBR) for digital video compression by allowing the change of the program bit
rate on demand and without any disruption at the receiving end. Between each bit-rate
change, the program is encoded at a constant bit rate. Because it relies on features
offered by the MPEG open standards at both transport stream and elementary stream
levels, Piecewise CBR feeds can be decoded without change using existing MPEG
receiver devices.

Considering that the new channel
added in the multiplex line-up has to
start at a time that may not be con-
venient for the other channels to be
interrupted, this could lead to stress-
ful situations for the operators.
In order to t one or more chan-
nels in the multiplexed MPTS, the
video bit rate of each current encoder
needs to be reduced. Te MPTS needs
to remain continuous, without dis-
ruption, even if a program is added
or removed. Adding or removing
a program in the multiplex should
not impact the continuity of the
other programs.
SCI rate control
Real-time video compression
with MPEG-2 or H.264 technology
can provide two common types of
streams with regards to the bit rate
control. A bit rate control algorithm
in the encoder is necessary to ensure
that the buers at the encoder and de-
coder do not underow or overow[1].
Constant-bit-rate control is com-
monly used in the video contribution
domain as it provides a constant bit
rate that is mandatory for bandwidth
planning and video quality assur-
ance. Variable bit rate (VBR) is not
commonly used in the contribution
domain or primary distribution as it
provides streams with bit rates that
change, regardless of the targeted av-
erage video quality it maintains.
Still, VBR control has the interesting
particularity of allowing the change of
the elementary stream bit rates while
maintaining the consistency of the
output MPEG-2 transport stream. Te
SCI rate control mode is based on this
VBR rate control mode, except that
the video elementary stream will be
changed according to the operators
request and not as a result of a video
encoder algorithm.
Tis has no impact on the MPEG-TS
multiplexing, which combines the
elementary streams (video, audio
channels and null packets) at the
encoder level. Te output is a trans-
port stream with a constant bit
rate[2], which contains a video el-
ementary stream running at a new
bit rate. Hence, the size of the MPTS
at the output of the multiplexer is
not changed.
Starting from four HD services
running at 12Mb/s each, the operation
procedure for adding a fh channel
into the multiplex using SCI would be
as follows:
Te operator calculates 48Mb/s
5 = 9.6Mb/s;
Te operator assigns a new 9.6Mb/s
bit rate to each encoder service by
using a manual entry (typically using
a dedicated Web graphic interface or
a network management system that
controls the encoders over SNMP).
Eurovisions use
of Seamless Channel Insertion
Eurovision is a distributor of sports and news content for the worlds broadcast
and media platforms. As such, Eurovision faced the issue of its television program
line-up changing regularly.
The content broadcasted is very versatile, especially in terms of duration on-
the-air, says Eurovision special project director, Puiu Dolea. The distributed
services line-up can be reshaped several times within the same day. We needed
more exibility from our encoding platform.

ATEME has implemented SCI rate control in its Kyrion line of contribution encod-
ers at the request of Eurovision, allowing operators to change video bit rates on
the y with no service interruption. The streams delivered to EBU members and
afliates are still constant bit rate, but their bit rates can now be changed with-
out affecting the consistency of the entire turn-around multiplex. There was no
impact, no change of rmware or disruption on the receiver side following the
implementation. ATEMEs Kyrion CM5000 contribution encoder supports SCI.

e new service bit rate is applied al-
most instantaneously;
Once the four original encoders
have been set to their new output bit
rates, the operator can enable the h
encoder to stream to the multiplexer.
(See Figure 1.)
Starting from ve HD services
running at 9.6Mb/s each, a channel
is removed as the program line-up
changes to four services:
e operator switches o the un-
wanted service;
e operator calculates 48Mb/s
4 = 12Mb/s;
e operator assigns a new 12Mb/s
bit rate to each encoder service. e
new service bit rate is applied almost
instantaneously, in this case allow-
ing an enhanced quality for those
services that remain in the multiplex.
(See Figure 2.)
Control options
When SCI mode is selected, this
allows the operator to set a new
output bit rate at any time for each
encoder service from the Web GUI
or over an SNMP command. e
new value will be applied almost in-
stantaneously. Implementation into
the users interface of the encoders
allows the operator to control the
stream easily. Using an SNMP inter-
face, the multiplex operator is able to
integrate this new functionality into
a network management system and
therefore perform even more complex
multiplex bandwidth management
functions. By allowing operators to
create a bandwidth schedule, the op-
erator is able to know in advance the
bandwidth he or she needs to book
from the satellite service provider at
a certain date and time.
Conclusion
Getting the most of the allocat-
ed capacity is an exciting prospect
for contribution feed broadcasters.
However, it could quickly become
highly challenging as the layout of
the television programs line-up in
the MPTS can change depending on
the nature of the events. SCI, an al-
ternate rate control mode available
in some MPEG-2/MPEG-4 contribu-
tion encoders, while remaining in full
compliance with the standards and
best practices, provides a new level of
operating exibility to broadcasters.
is new technology will help contri-
bution professionals plan and manage
a feed multiplex or a turn-around feed
bouquet at its best, without wasting
bandwidth for the just in case situ-
ation that may or may not occur.

Creating the workow
Moving the production workow
from tape-based to digital was the
rst step of innovation and ushered in
a tremendous change to the industry
and to those who work in televi-
sion news. But the innovation hasnt
stopped there. Advances across the
workow greater integration, more
speed and new agility are making
newsrooms themselves more scalable,
exible and streamlined, and thereby
more cost e cient. Modular and open
systems are delivering outstanding re-
turns on investment. Lets take a look
inside the digital newsroom, an ex-
ample of which is shown in Figure 1
on page 28, and see how it all happens.
Ingest. Ingesting live video feeds
is where the production process
308bew18-DE.indd 27 8/2/2013 2:10:36 PM

TodAys digiTAl newsroom
begins. In the most productive news-
rooms, any SD or HD feed can be
ingested, most often through an
encoder platform or server-based
technology. Best-of-breed encoders
support all codecs and formats, and
can be congured either as an encod-
er or playout channel for maximum
infrastructure exibility. Intelligent
server technology handles all in-
gest functions, recording multiple
video feeds and making this media
available throughout the production
workow for simultaneous preview,
rough editing, archiving, playback
or post-production. A process of
loop recording can ensure that no
incoming feeds are missed during
recording, even when theyre not
scheduled or managed. Te feeds
are then available throughout the
production network.
Regardless of ingest method, the
ingest process must be managed. In
todays workows, this is most ofen
achieved through integrated produc-
tion management applications that
give the user complete control of pro-
duction workow, from ingest control
and metadata management to on-the-
y editing and playout scheduling,
ofen from a single intuitive interface.
Ease of use is key, with the goal of
enabling every member of a produc-
tion team to use the system without
extensive training. Talent should
be focused on operating and edit-
ing tasks, not on guring out how to
use complex systems. Tese systems

must also integrate with third-party
resources. System and components
accessibility is critical, as it helps
streamline all aspects of the workow
and save resources.
A discussion of media ingest is not
complete without addressing storage.
e ability to easily access and browse
stored media is a critical aspect of the
entire workow and can be a signi-
cant stumbling block if not handled
correctly. Footage from ENG crews
can be imported directly in the
right format and codec with simple
tools that enable editing, browsing,
transfer and transcoding of all clips
to central storage. ese manage-
ment tools send all media to central
storage, oen removable storage plat-
forms well suited to live broadcast
operations. Regardless of media origi-
nation, these systems oer short- and
long-term archiving of clips, audio/
video feeds and highlights with all as-
sociated metadata, where editors can
easily browse and search content by
keyword or edit media content. Media
can also be accessed throughout the
entire network for production, edit-
ing or playout.
Content management and time-
line news editing. Once content is
quickly and e ciently ingested and
stored, it needs to be ready for imme-
diate editing and preparation for air.
Workstations are equipped to allow
users to browse incoming feeds and
prepare rough-cut edits by creating
simple playlists. Playlists can then be
pushed to nonlinear editing systems,
allowing access to any frame in a clip
for additional editing, or directly to
playout if required.
is allows editors to use the wide
range of nonlinear editing and news
cutting tools available in the mar-
ketplace today, and greatly improves
the speed and quality of their media
editing. For instance, timeline edit-
ing with no required rendering is
used to improve rough-cut edits by
adding text and graphics, to prepare
news reports, and to enable voice-over
recordings. Support for multiple for-
mats and resolutions on the same
timeline and robust metadata man-
agement features are other examples
of tools that can increase editing
speed and quality.
Post-production integration.
Digital workows should fully in-
tegrate cra editors with ingest and
production processes and online
storage, facilitating rapid file ex-
change with external post-production
applications. Editing suites often
use plug-ins to enable rapid post-
production le rendering so playout
begins as soon as editing is completed.
Production systems should seamlessly
integrate with all major editing so-
ware from Avid, Apple and Adobe.
Playout. Like other parts of the
digital production workow, there
is more than one option for playout.
Server technology, encoder/playout
systems or even o-the-shelf news-
room control systems (NRCS) such
as ENPS can accommodate playout.
e key is interoperability. Playout
technology either via a server
or encoder and soware-based
management technology must inter-
operate to achieve successful playout
operations, ensuring all clips and as-
sociated metadata can be accessed,
complete playlist functions are facili-
tated, and news stories are managed
across the news workow. Additional
tools and soware enable capabilities
such as live slow motion and timeslip
operations for fast review of events,
or delay of events so that nothing
is missed.
Web service integration. As media
organizations move to push their news
over multiple platforms, Web service
integration is an increasingly impor-
tant part of the process. Metadata is
added to the workow system, indi-
cating which platform should receive
media les and the type of content
contained within the le.

A
f ter worki ng wit h
P2 camcorder, one word
denes the product for
me: expandability. Te base HPX600
is a lightweight (6.2lbs), highly com-
petent camcorder. By means of a
selection of current and future op-
tions, the camcorders functionality
can be signicantly enhanced.
Te AG-HPX600 is equipped with
three 2/3in MOS sensors and records
in AVC-Intra50/100, DVCPRO HD
(100Mb/s), DVCPRO50, DVCPRO
and DV. Recording is to P2 cards al-
though Panasonic has now released
a chargeable rmware upgrade that
supports recording to microP2 cards.
(MicroP2 cards provide the function-
ality of traditional P2 media, but in
an SD-sized card.) A microP2 card
must be inserted into an AJ-P2AD1
microP2 adapter that plugs into a P2
slot. (See Figure 1.)
The camcorder arrived from
Panasonic wit h a Fuji non
XA17x7.6BERM 17X (7.6mm to
130mm) zoom lens that has a 2X ex-
tender. Te HPX600 has chromatic
aberration compensation (CAC) to
maximize lens performance and a
ash band detector with a compen-
sation algorithm that minimizes this
eect. An LCD display on the cam-
eras side oers accessibility to the
cameras extensive menu functions.
Te HPX600 oers two P2 card slots
and one SDHC slot.
Other camcorder features include:
optical neutral density lter wheel
(clear, 1/4, 1/16, 1/64); digital zoom
(2X and 4X) function; variable shutter
speed (1/12s to 1/2000s plus Synchro
Scan); focus assist that expands
the center area on the viewnder;
GENLOCK IN; TC IN/OUT; two USB
2.0 ports; an Ethernet port, an HDMI
port; and an HD-SDI port. When the
AG-YA600G option is added, uncom-
pressed video/audio can be input to
the HD-SDI port and recorded.
By adding the AG-YDX600G
proxy video encoding option and the
AG-SFU604G sofware key, H.264
QuickTime video/audio can be sent
via an Ethernet LAN connection to
a computer. Proxy video can also
be wirelessly sent to a computer,
iPhone or iPad when the AJ-WM30
Wi-Fi option is plugged into a USB
port. Panasonic oers video apps
the camera offers many options
to create custom workows.

for these devices. (See Figure 2.) Te
AG-YDX600G option also enables SD
proxy video clips to be recorded on
P2 cards along with SD/HD video.

Field report
Proxy video can also be recorded to
an SDHC card.
At the 2013 NAB Show, Panasonic
announced that the HPX600 with
an AG-SFU603G sofware key inte-
grates the camcorder with LiveUs
LU40i cellular modem. Te LU40i is
mounted on the back of the camera
and is connected using HD-SDI and
USB cables. Te combination enables
real-time H.264 AVC high-prole
1080i, 1080p and 720p video stream-
ing for live sports and newsgathering.
With a 60Hz system clock rate,
the following frame rates can be cap-
tured: 1920 x 1080 at 59.94i, 23.98pN
and 29.97pN, plus 1280 x 720 at
59.94p, 23.98pN and 29.97pN. (Native
N 23.98 and 29.97 frame rates
capture frames with no pulldown
added before recording.) By adding
the AG-SFU602G sofware-key, an
HPX can record at frame rates from
1fps to 30fps (1080p) and 1fps to 60fps
(720p). When set at 24, 24.0fps is
recorded. Te key also adds the ability
to output 23.98PsF video via the HD-
SDI port for uncompressed recording.
When using AVC-Intra100, 1920
x 1080 or 1280 x 720, 10-bit 4:2:2
data are recorded. Panasonic has an-
nounced that in 2013, a chargeable
hardware upgrade will enable the
camcorder to record using the AVC
Ultra codec. Table 1 shows the dier-
ent quality levels within AVC Ultra.
Panasonic has announced that not all
AVC Ultra formats will be supported
by the AG-HPX600. However,
I expect Class 200 will be
available because both P2

(PCI Express). The new two-slot
AJ-MPD1 drive reads microP2 cards
using a USB connection.
If you dont have card reader, as
I dont, the camera enables you to
transfer P2 media directly to a USB
2.0 hard drive connected to the
camcorder. Tis method has sever-
al advantages. First, the hard drive
becomes a low-cost backup device.
Second, when the drive has been for-
matted as FAT32, it can be mounted
on either a PC or Mac from which
you can edit. Lastly, if you have a
P2-format sofware encoder such as
AVC-Intra Codec or ImEx Suite (OS
X only) from Hamburg Pro Media,
you can export a production as an
MXF le to a hard drive, connect the
drive to an HPX600, and then copy
the le to a P2 card.
Avids Media Composer has func-
tions that conveniently handle P2
editing. Inserting a card into a read-
er connected to a computer running
Media Composer can automatical-
ly create a bin and populate it with
clips. Yellow marked clips indicate
les stored on the connected device.
(See Figure 3.)
As long as a reader is connected,
you can edit clips into a sequence.
When a sequence is complete, se-
lect it and issue Clip > Consolidate/
Transcode. (See Figure 4.) Next,
choose Consolidate, select the target
hard drive, and click the Consolidate
button. Only those clips in the se-
quence will be copied from the P2
card to the target drive.
If you have previously copied P2
media to a harddisk, issue the File >
Link to AMA Volume command.
Choose the device, select a folder
with P2 contents, and click Choose.
Te result will be a bin of clips.
(See Figure 3.)
Depending on the power of your
computer, playback performance
may be less than ideal. You can im-
prove performance by transcoding
a P2 media to a DNxHD le. To do
so, select clips in a bin, and then issue
Clip > Consolidate/Transcode.
(See Figure 4.)
Next, select the target drive, select
the type of DNxHD desired and click
the Transcode button. Te transcod-
ed le names will be appended with
a new tag.
Final Cut Pro X oers similar
capabilities. After mounting
a P2 media device, its con-
tents are rapidly cataloged
in the background. Once
cataloged, you can begin edit-
ing P2 media. However, you have
two other options, as shown by
Figures 5 and 6.
By checking Create proxy media,
P2 media will be converted to ProRes
Proxy in the background. (See Figure
5.) Youll now have smooth playback
while editing. During export, likely
to ProRes HQ, the original P2 content
will be used as the source.
By checking Create optimized
media, P2 media will be converted to
ProRes 422 in the background. (See
Figure 6.) Youll now have smooth
playback while editing. During ex-
port, likely to ProRes HQ, ProRes les
are employed as the source.

had a top-10 hit in 1989 with
I Want it All. e song
included and was based
around the catchphrase from singer/
guitarist Brian Mays second wife, I
want it all, and I want it now!
Of course, that is what broadcast
storage managers hear every day. It
isnt enough to have tape archives;
news editors want instant access to
every inch of footage ever shot, mar-
keting wants to know how a show is
trending on Twitter as it airs, and cus-
tomers demand access to music and
videos that t their personal mood at
that moment.
From a data storage aspect, this
means that nothing is ever old or
o ine, but must be able to be ready
at the push of a button. Welcome to
the world of Big Data.
What is Big Data?
Big Data is a fuzzy term: It doesnt
apply to any specic amount or type
of data. But, as companies have
created petabytes and exabytes of un-
structured and semistructured data,
all this data needs to be corralled,
brought under control, understood
and analyzed. As a rule of thumb, if
there is too much data to be e ciently
loaded into a relational database, it is
Big Data, and specialized tools are
required to turn the raw digital data
into intelligence that can be used for
decision making.
Although much of the emphasis is
on the analytics, that is not the only
aspect. For most industries, the stor-
age and management of the data is
also critical; for broadcasters, distri-
bution also plays a huge role, given the
rise of on-demand programming.

Big Data tools
Managing Big Data requires the
development of a new set of tools to
organize and search the data. ere
are now hundreds of such tools, with
more on the way. Many of these are
open source, or are commercial
implementations of open-source so-
ware. Among the most broadly used
Big Data tools are:
Hadoop (hadoop.apache.org/).
is is an open source Java-based
programming framework for dis-
tributed computing of large data sets.
It can scale from one server to thou-
sands, and redistributes the work in
the event of one or more nodes failing.
It works with Windows, Linux, BSD
and OSX.
Hive (hive.apache.org). is is a
data warehouse system that facili-
tates easy data summarization, ad-hoc

Broadcasters can use these to store Big Data efciently.

queries and the analysis of large da-
tasets stored in Hadoop-compatible
le systems. It is designed for batch
queries/processing or large data sets
and uses HiveQL, a language similar
to SQL.
MapReduce. Google developed
MapReduce to address the issue of
how to manage the parallel process-
ing workloads required to process
massive amounts of data. The
MapReduce framework consists of
two parts: Map, which distributes the
load out to the compute nodes, and
Reduce, which collects and merges
the results from those nodes into
a single result. Google researchers
Jerey Dean and Sanjay Ghemawat
published an introduction to the
From a data storage aspect, nothing
is ever old or ofine, but must be able
to be ready at the push of a button.
Welcome to the world of Big Data.
Although Big Data analytics is one of ITs hottest topics these days, broadcast
has been in the Big Data business for decades.

NoSQL databases. ese are used
to manage and analyze massive sets
of unstructured data. NoSQL doesnt
mean no SQL, but Not Only SQL.
Structured query language (SQL)
can still be used as appropriate.
NoSQL databases include Apache
Cassandra (cassandra.apache.org),
originally developed by Facebook;
Amazon SimpleDB (aws.amazon.com/
simpl edb/); and MongoDB
(www.mongodb.org/).
Implementing
Big Data storage
Although Big Data analytics is
one of ITs hottest topics these days,
broadcast has been in the Big Data
business for decades, having to man-
age media storage containing les
that may be hundreds of GB or even
several TB each. Big Data storage,
then, takes on a dierent aspect than
when an organization is just using Big
Data for analysis. Some of the factors
to consider include:
Data deduplication/compres-
sion. A prominent feature of many
storage systems is their ability to
reduce the amount of disk space
needed through use of deduplication
or compression technologies. ese
technologies, however, wont have
much impact on broadcasters storage
needs. Audio and video les already
contain some type of compression as
part of their encoding; any further
compression would lose quality. In
addition, there arent as likely to be
as many copies of a single video le
that could be replaced with a point-
er as there are with e-mails or Word
documents. When there are multiple
video le copies, they are likely to be
needed for backup or for streaming.
Tiered architecture. Given the
breadth of data types that make up
Big Data, and the dierent uses it is
put to, a tiered storage architecture is
essential. SSDs or NAND Flash mem-
ory cards can be used for analytics,
storage system metadata, indexes and
editing; higher-capacity, lower-cost
SAS; and SATA drives for other pri-
mary and secondary storage.
Although some types of businesses
are dumping tape, it can still play a
key role for broadcast for setting up
active archives. Video les are mas-
sive, and it can be prohibitively
expensive to keep the entire archive
on disks. A May 2013 TCO analysis
from e Clipper Group, Inc. (www.
clipper.com/research/TCG2013009.pdf)
found that archiving on disk is 26
times as expensive as tape over a
nine-year period. A tape library is
slower than disk access, but each
LT0-6 tape holds 2.5TB of uncom-
pressed data, and a single Spectra
Logic T950 tape library scales up to
10,200 slots, enough to hold more
than 25PB of uncompressed data
(62TB compressed). is allows fast,
though not instantaneous, access to
archives, which is good enough for
archival footage.
To speed access to the videos stored
in a tape library, or even lower-tiered
disks, the metadata and the head of
the video can be stored on the SSD
drives, so access can begin immedi-
ately while the rest of the video loads
from the tape.
Rapid setup of multiple copies.
Broadcast storage systems need the
capacity to rapidly add and remove
content from the storage being used
for streaming video, scaling the num-
ber of copies to meet demand. As Joe
Inzerillo, SVP and content technol-
ogy/CTO for Major League Baseballs
Advanced Media Group describes it,
No one cares about a 0-to-3 baseball
game, until in the 7th inning, when
people realize the pitcher is throw-
ing a perfect game. en everyone
cares, and your online hits go through
the roof.
Common le system. Some ed-
iting or digital asset management
systems use a proprietary storage for-
mat, which locks the company into a
particular vendor and limits its ability
to adopt a common storage frame-
work for all company data. By using
industry-standard methods such as
NFS, CIFS and HTTP, the les can be
accessed by both old and new systems,
giving greater exibility.
File system architecture has prov-
en that it works for streaming online
and on-air programming, allowing
for multiple mounts for a single set of
data, and it can increase throughput
and capacity as needed.

innovative partner in broadcasting, theatre and
high-prole live audio. Because of this, we know
that world-class sound engineers demand the
highest standards. With this rmly in mind, we
took all of our extensive experience and used it
to create our rst digital multichannel wireless
system: DIGITAL 9000, which is in a class of its own,
providing uncompressed digital audio transmission,
free from intermodulation, and delivering stunning
sound and dynamics with a cable-like purity.
DIGITAL 9000 offers control functions that make
system set-up simple and fail-safe. The highly
intuitive interface provides a complete overview
of system performance, offering peace of mind
in challenging live situations. DIGITAL 9000 is the
best-in-class digital wireless system available and
represents a future-proof investment.
DIGITAL 9000 The Wireless Masterpiece.
