Boosting SNG Via All-IP Networks
Satellite Newsgathering (SNG) is a crucial part of any broadcaster’s business. In our world of news, sporting & live events the transmission of video from the scene is essential. Gone are the days when a journalist would physically transport a tape back to HQ after filming a story so it could make its slot on the evening news.
Technology & digitalization have transformed OB & expanded broadcaster’s capabilities. All-IP newsgathering provides a flexible solution that enables reliable broadcasts & reduces overall costs. Scalability in geography & volume is also enabled by the IP-based transmission, creating endless options for content distribution across the globe.
Traditional SNG Solution Challenges in an IP World
The complexity & capabilities of modern SNG have dramatically increased, providing support for HD productions & modern tapeless workflows. Television is no longer served well by the SDI Baseband Router, coaxial cable & BNC connectors. New IP-based video/audio infrastructure & workflows are far more flexible & cost-effective.
This white paper explores a practical solution that uses a mixture of technologies to deliver live news events. Camera crews today, deploy mobile solutions capable of transmitting video, voice & broadband services over a multi-service communication link made possible by leveraging the power of IP.
