DETROIT, MI, JULY 24, 2018 — Exploring the finer points of the broadcast
industry’s transition to IP, Calrec Product Manager Pete Walker recently opened
a sports production symposium to discuss industry trends and emerging audio technologies.
At the DTV
Audio Group and SVG symposium in Detroit, Walker discussed changing industry
standards during a presentation on AES67, SMPTE ST-2110 and NMOS. His
presentation highlighted the growing requirement for shared networks for live broadcasts,
as well as Calrec’s Hydra2 network benefits.
Along
with representatives from ESPN, PAC-12 Networks and Turner Sports, Walker also
participated in a panel on leveraging virtualization, automation and artificial
intelligence. The main focus of the panel was about what broadcasters can do to
relieve the burden that is put on A1s, so they can focus more on the craft and
making a good mix.
The
symposium was an invitation only event for the DTV Audio Group’s members and
was designed to share information and observations amongst industry peers.
During
his presentation Walker covered SMPTE ST-2110 and how it defines standardized,
real-time transport of uncompressed video and audio, as well as metadata, over
a common IP local area network. He explained how SMPTE ST-2110 (-30) requires
the use of AES67 for transporting audio, which is good news for those who have
spent time and money working towards AES67 compatible transports.
Walker also
discussed how AES67 outlines the parameters that allow networked audio to be
exchanged between different manufacturers’ equipment. In addition, he addressed
the future of NMOS, the highly anticipated broadcast-focused standard aiming to
create a more centralized control mechanism within the network.
“The
majority of attendees were hands-on operational users, so this was a great
opportunity to cut through the technical jargon and marketing sheen that often
surrounds IP, to explain the benefits and remove any mystery,†says Walker.
“It was
a great privilege to be in the same room as so many of the most talented A1s in
the business. At Calrec, we’re focused on providing powerful, flexible, easy to
use tools for broadcast audio, and maintaining relationships with the people
that use them is vital for us to continue making world-leading products.â€
