Test Equipment Vendors Expand Capabilities to Address IP, ATSC 3.0

摘要

ONTARIO-As the world of video content delivery has expanded from broadcast and cable into OTT and mobile streaming, so too has the need for advanced test & measurement equipment to keep these content streams optimized and robust. Here are some of the trends driving T&M equipment development today and into the future. With IP becoming more dominant in production and distribution, vendors have had to respond to by supporting IP-based content management through every aspect of the media supply chain. For example, "on set production, post-production and distribution centres now need test and measurement products that can support the analysis and monitoring of these advanced standards," said Kevin Salvidge, European regional development manager for Leader. "Rapid growth in the migration of outside broadcast truck and production facilities from SDI video to IP is also evident, based on the SMPTE ST 2110 suite of standards. IP analysis and monitoring are completely different from traditional SDI analysis."
