  • High Frame-Rate Television
    Research White Paper WHP 169 September 2008 High Frame-Rate Television M Armstrong, D Flynn, M Hammond, S Jolly, R Salmon BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION BBC Research White Paper WHP 169 High Frame-Rate Television M Armstrong, D Flynn, M Hammond, S Jolly, R Salmon Abstract The frame and field rates that have been used for television since the 1930s cause problems for motion portrayal, which are increasingly evident on the large, high-resolution television displays that are now common. In this paper we report on a programme of experimental work that successfully demonstrated the advantages of higher frame rate capture and display as a means of improving the quality of television systems of all spatial resolutions. We identify additional benefits from the use of high frame-rate capture for the production of programmes to be viewed using conventional televisions. We suggest ways to mitigate some of the production and distribution issues that high frame-rate television implies.

  • WISI Significantly Reduces Distribution Costs for Broadcasters and Video Content Providers with Its Smart Broadcast Platform Firefly
    112 – 19055 Airport Way Pitt Meadows, BC Canada V3Y 0G4 +1-604-998-4665 www.incanetworks.com WISI Significantly Reduces Distribution Costs for Broadcasters and Video Content Providers with its Smart Broadcast Platform Firefly Niefern-Öschelbronn, August 30, 2018 – Video Network Operators dependent on the reception of video streams from satellite, terrestrial, cable or IPTV in closed networks, now have a new option in WISI’s Smart Broadcast Platform Firefly. WISI is a global innovator of products and solutions for video and broadband networks based in Germany. The company plans on introducing the Firefly platform at IBC Amsterdam 2018 (stand B50 in hall 5). This professional end-to-end solution from playout to headend uses HLS, the proven http-based streaming protocol and is a well-suited and cost-effective alternative to video delivery via satellite, antenna and dedicated lines. Linear TV channels and video content are delivered to headends as HLS streams over the Internet with minimal quality losses. The WISI solution is ideal for broadcasters and TV and video service providers aiming to significantly reduce distribution costs. The unique Smart Broadcast Platform Firefly also offers new options for cable network operators and enables the hospitality industry to enhance existing offers with additional content and video services. Service providers, for example, can now supply viewers from abroad with TV channels from their home countries that cannot be received via regular service offerings. The platform also offers new and efficient opportunities for corporate TV systems to reach employees located at different national and international sites. Firefly HLS IRD/Receiver The heart of this compact solution is the Firefly HLS IRD/Receiver which WISI developed for alternative delivery applications.

  • Transitioning Broadcast to Cloud
    applied sciences Article Transitioning Broadcast to Cloud Yuriy Reznik, Jordi Cenzano and Bo Zhang * Brightcove Inc., 290 Congress Street, Boston, MA 02210, USA; [email protected] (Y.R.); [email protected] (J.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-888-882-1880 Abstract: We analyze the differences between on-premise broadcast and cloud-based online video de- livery workflows and identify technologies needed for bridging the gaps between them. Specifically, we note differences in ingest protocols, media formats, signal-processing chains, codec constraints, metadata, transport formats, delays, and means for implementing operations such as ad-splicing, redundancy and synchronization. To bridge the gaps, we suggest specific improvements in cloud ingest, signal processing, and transcoding stacks. Cloud playout is also identified as critically needed technology for convergence. Finally, based on all such considerations, we offer sketches of several possible hybrid architectures, with different degrees of offloading of processing in cloud, that are likely to emerge in the future. Keywords: broadcast; video encoding and streaming; cloud-based services; cloud playout 1. Introduction Terrestrial broadcast TV has been historically the first and still broadly used technology for delivery of visual information to the masses. Cable and DHT (direct-to-home) satellite TV technologies came next, as highly successful evolutions and extensions of the broadcast TV model [1,2]. Yet, broadcast has some limits. For instance, in its most basic form, it only enables linear delivery. It also provides direct reach to only one category of devices: TV sets.
