Allows facilities to be scaled up more easily • Will be the industry standard in roughly the same timescale as Central Square • Will eventually be the lowest cost model due to adoption of COTS hardware and ability to move broadcast functions onto a more generic platform with a distributed routing core 11 I P S H O W C A S E T H E AT R E AT I B C 2 0 1 9 : 1 3 –1 7 S E P T 2 0 1 9 BBC Cardiff – Mark Patrick, EBU NTS June 2019 LIVE IP Top Risks • Interoperability still not proven standards are very new • There is an obvious Cybersecurity risk • New skills are required to deliver and support Live IP. There is a possibility of change saturation and also an overspend on training • More resources may be required to support delivery of Live IP than planned (this includes resources and capabilities of Systems Integrators) • Refresh cycles are much faster and don’t align well with traditional capital plans 12 AIMS IP Showcase IBC 2019 September 2019 Curated by Video Services Forum vsf.tv 7 I P S H O W C A S E T H E AT R E AT I B C 2 0 1 9 : 1 3 –1 7 S E P T 2 0 1 9 BBC Cardiff – Mark Patrick, EBU NTS June 2019 Other Challenges • Audio: ST2110 -30 and AES67 are almost compatible but there are subtle differences • MADI is an effective bridge between eco -systems • We need to consider latency between systemV •PTP is complicated and expensive to implement •NMOS control was highly desired but useful interop has not been delivered by the wider industry in time for the project, despite a lot of continuing hard work 13 I P S H O W C A S E T H E AT R E AT I B C 2 0 1 9 : 1 3 –1 7 S E P T 2 0 1 9 SRG Zurich – Sandro Furter TPC, EBU NTS June 2019 There are still challenges around: •Dynamic Audio Configuration •PTP •Security •NMOS •Network Architecture 14 AIMS IP Showcase IBC 2019 September 2019 Curated by Video Services Forum vsf.tv 8 I P S H O W C A S E T H E AT R E AT I B C 2 0 1 9 : 1 3 –1 7 S E P T 2 0 1 9 CBC Montreal, Louis Lamarre EBU NTS June 2019 •Focus on Resilience and edundancy •Key learnings are: ‒Build your PTP architecture to be simple, reliable and predictable. •Extended redundancy may not be as protective as you think… ‒PTP monitoring is more important than PTP redundancy. ‒Don’t expect devices to report errors, problems, degradation. ‒You can’t test everything, but at least test GMC failover scenarios. 15 I P S H O W C A S E T H E AT R E AT I B C 2 0 1 9 : 1 3 –1 7 S E P T 2 0 1 9 16 How do we change these complaints into positive contributions?
