This white paper addresses vendors aiming to align systems with the Dynamic Media Facility (DMF) concept, and media organizations seeking to procure systems that are aligned with it.
The Dynamic Media Facility Reference Architecture defines a layered model for modern, software-defined production infrastructures that builds on existing concepts used in the cloud space, such as OSI (open system interconnection).
The model allows users to make independent technology and product choices for individual elements of the infrastructure. Functions can be added in the form of stateless containerized media microservices, which are either deployed on-premise, at a remote location or in the public cloud. Everything is managed by a unified Media Exchange Layer, which provides high-performance, asynchronous interchange between the media functions.
