CBC is running an ambitious project, focussing on refurbishing its Toronto building to embrace software-based media production. This transition involves software operating on a unified infrastructure, allowing for versatile studio spaces and control rooms apt for varying production types.
The project's vision includes centralizing media functions, enhancing scale and resiliency through shared memory across high-performance computing frameworks. With an eye on avoiding vendor lock-in, CBC seeks collaboration among various media providers to construct a multi-vendor production ecosystem. This project fits very well with the DMF project.
As CBC gears up for fully software-driven workflows, they invite industry stakeholders to a Toronto DMF event, eager to cultivate collaborative innovation.
