Linear and Non-Linear Timing Workflows in Live IP Production

This presentation will explain the principles involved in the way ST 2110 and other linear systems interact with non-linear compute and will look at the evolving standards work that is addressing these, including the VSF GCCG work and new SMPTE guidelines. For the last 90 years, the handling of live broadcast production video and audio has been achieved by linear transport and processing of the media streams. The industry evolution towards software-based live production workflows means that to effectively make optimal use of native compute processing, the handling of media flow needs to evolve to an inherently non-linear connectivity and processing architecture. This presentation will explain the principles involved, the way ST 2110 and other linear systems interact with non-linear compute and will look at the evolving standards work that is addressing these, including the VSF GCCG work and new SMPTE guidelines.
