InterBEE REVIEW2016

IP transmission is said to be invaluable to 4K/8K program production. Because the speed of SDI transmission by exist-ing coaxial cable is 3Gps, even by 3G-SDI, it was necessary to bind four 3G-SDI cables to transmit 4K/60p (12Gbps). How-ever, due to cable-laying problems as well as to be consistent with the shift to a file-based production environment, IP transmission has been promoted.IP transmission has many benefits. It is hoped that if com-munication technology continues to advance in the future, transmission speeds can be continuously enhanced and richer transmission will become possible. Additionally, the price of machinery may reduce, because the communication equip-ment has many users.However, IP transmission at live broadcast program production sites such as sports broadcasts and concerts has been called the final barrier, because the hurdle stopping even greater realization, such as no delays, is so high.Meanwhile, several IP transmission standards have now been proposed and company collaboration is advancing. Indeed, at the Inter BEE exhibition venue, there were demonstrations emphasizing collaboration with these alliance partners.Grass Valley’s IP solution corner exhibited a next-generation routing platform, “GV Node”, which supports both SDI and IP enabling IP processing and routing in real-time.
