Broadcast Migration to All-IP
In order to become more agile in operations and leverage the economies of scale and flexibility that IT infrastructure brings, Broadcasters increasingly have been migrating from broadcast-specific architectures to IT-based solutions. This goes hand-in-hand with the trend toward software-defined media processing and network function virtualization. This session will first give an overview of the challenges that Broadcasters face, the benefits of transforming to “All IP” and a high-level overview of what exactly is meant by “All IP”. It then will dive deeper into the technologies themselves, starting with a discussion of the Joint Task Force on Network Media (JT-NM) roadmap and the data essence and control planes of interoperability, followed by an overview of the major standards behind “All IP” including the new SMPTE ST 2110 suite of standards for Professional Media over IP and AMWA Network Media Open Specifications (NMOS). The current state of the industry will be reviewed and what’s to be done next.

Four of his projects have been later recognized by Technology & Engineering Emmy® Awards. Mr. Goldman received bachelor (high honors) and master of sciences degrees in electrical engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He holds six patents related to digital video transport. A SMPTE Fellow, he is also a senior member of the IEEE and an inductee of the Academy of Digital Television Pioneers. Mr. Goldman is currently serving as the President of SMPTE.
SMPTE’s Road to the Future
The media industry is constantly evolving and changes are upon us again. New image as well as audio formats are emerging and streaming content to consumers online is common practice. This all requires new cost saving infrastructure to compete in an ever growing media market. IP networks which enable media infrastructure to move into data centers are seen as a solution. This brings with it a transition from specialized hardware products to commodity computer system with software only applications. This presentation shows how SMPTE will adapt to these changes to produce the standards and specification for the next generation media industry. It will briefly introduce SMPTE, detail efforts to stay focused on industry needs and update on SMPTE's Standardization efforts for the future of media production, processing and distribution.
