The landscape of Media Networks has become fragmented with standards and solutions which are partly incompatible. This often forces to implement multiple parallel networks into ProAV systems which causes huge cost and efforts and leaves the customer with very inflexible systems. In contrast, the promise and vision of media networking has been the opposite: To bring data and media traffic into one network structure with opportunities for flexible connections and interoperability. The session shows the dimension of the problem and possible paths for solutions. The session will explain the idea of ‘convergence’ with examples from actual productions.
