Our full ST 2110 UHD/HDR OB van has been in production for a couple of months and I am excited to share our first experiences with it. This talk will also touch on our experience with our new TEC building, which will be live in November 2019.

Please show me; would be great but vendors typically overpromise and don ´t talk about the problems that’s why I present here our strategy and our experiences B: hmm – maybe – but it’s too expensive, too complicated to build and maintain and simply I do not have personnel for it fair points – let’s look into these in more detail C: fine – but I hope I will be retired when it hits my company … great plan – please share how you do and finance it and I will follow up SDI vs IP Core ~256² UHD / 1024² HD 8 PRICE RU kWATT Mux/Demux SDI IP ~$ 1,5M 56 8 7 4,6 250 90 SIMPLE COMPLEX ~$ 0,7M 9 News - , Sports - and Technology Building Presenter Area Radio Studio Presenter Area Post Production Editorial Staff Ingest Playout 2nd floor : News 3rd floor : News/Sports 1st floor : Operations 4th floor : Sports Ground floor : Studio Landscape Master Control Room Editorial Staff Editorial Staff Basement: Media Data Center # 10 Project Perimeter of "Metechno" CHANNEL - AGGREGATION 7/24  On Demand Live Event OUT Local Ingest Transcoding & Security Pub !

HDR 15 Technical Overview UHD - 1 HDR 16 IP Concept No SDI or AES Router  Full IP Backbone Compared to SDI: ~184x184 UHD Videomatrix Extensions can be made easy SDI / AES3 Sources via Gateways to ST 2110 Full IP to EPIC Multiviewer COTS Network but Datacenter Class Non -Blocking Network Architecture (Building will be Blocking!) Uncompressed Video (up to 12GBit/s) "Proxy" Generation of each source  Orchestrator switches i.e. Proxy to Multiviewer No IS -04 or IS -05 in the Truck  More than 50k Multicast IP -Adresses ! 17 Redundancy 18 • What if a Switch Fails? • What if the Optics Fail? • What if a cable Fails? • ST 2022 -7 Redundancy • Send Two Copies • On Two Interfaces • To Two Switches • Join and Receive from both • Packet -by -packet merge • Also used for all parts of SMPTE ST 2110! End Points End Points ARCHITECTURE 19 SDN -Controller Orchestrator Broadcast Controller 1 Peripheral Systems Orchestration Layer Broadcast Controller 2 The «MATRIX» 20 • 11 Tb/s max throughput • 108 x 100GE ports (x2) • In theory: 1000 x 1000 UHD (if fully loaded) Gateways • Signal Processing and Format conversion will be made with Imagine Selenio TM Network Processor • Interfacing from 4x 3GBit SDI / 12 Gbit SDI / SMPTE 2022 -6 / NAT to 100GBit/s SMPTE 2022 and vice versa • 4 independent Processor blocks per unit • Generates "Proxy" while processing to IP 21 SNP processor personalities (modes of operation) 22 Experiences with UHD1 HDR Realtime Network runs stable and solid No Capacity or Bandwidth issues Due to Elementary Streams ‒ Latencies i.e. A/V Runtimes need attention again but are stable and predictable ‒ Gateways have to modes: Low -Latency or Sync -Mode (like Framestore ) ‒ Audio Mixes are available in the Network in different Timebases No Embedding or De -Embedding anymore ‒ Virtualised Embedding in the Orchestrator, Maximum of Flexibility in Audio Handling Multiviewer Flexibility ‒ Every Audio / Videosource can be routed to every Monitor, no fixed connection from Multiviewer to Monitor 23 Experiences with UHD1 HDR PTP ‒ Not stable in the beginning ‒ PTP is less stable than Blackburst or Tri -Level -Sync ‒ No problems if you stay in IP but Wander if you convert to SDI Directors Experiences ‒ No negative feedback because of IP but positive feedback due to the higher flexibility Training ‒ Basic Network training for all Operators ‒ Super -Users have deeper training ‒ i.e. IP -Address Conflicts can be solved from normal Operator ‒ Couple of unicorn’s (Hybrid of IP, Audio, Video Experts) 24 Experiences with UHD1 HDR UHD and HDR ‒ Soccer Europa league and Champions league  UHD SDR ‒ Cultural Events like Ballets or Concerts  UHD HDR ‒ Other Productions mainly 1080i/25 SDR HDR Experiences ‒ HDR is more challenging for Vision -Engineers ‒ We have the SONY Workflow: Matching in SDR ‒ Master -Controller is controlling the HDR ‒ Clear and strict Workflows are necessary Focus Control of Cameras ‒ Again more challenging than in HD 25 UHD1 HDR – Main Products IP Realtime Network and Orchestration…….
