The September 2020 issue of tech-i magazine revisits a topic that has taken on a new urgency in light of the COVID-19 pandemic: the cloud. It includes a look at the readiness of the cloud for remote and distributed production, along with a report on a solution developed by Belgium's EBU Members. There's also an introduction to the use of microservices on serverless architecture.
The EBU has published an updated version of Tech 3371 and its 'Pyramid' graphic, the visual representation of user requirements, priorities and the market’s progress in creating and implementing relevant supporting standards and protocols in the SMPTE ST 2110 ecosystem of LiveIP technology.
The media industry is migrating to IP-based infrastructures for live production, but support for subitling currently is limited. The new IETF RFC 8759 and open source projects from BBC and the EBU are aiming to change that.
