  • Large Scale Deployment of SMPTE 2110: the IP Live Production Facility
    SMPTE Meeting Presentation Large Scale Deployment of SMPTE 2110: The IP Live Production Facility Steve Sneddon NBCUniversal, [email protected] Chris Swisher NBCUniversal, [email protected] Jeff Mayzurk NBCUniversal, [email protected] Written for presentation at the SMPTE 2019 Annual Technical Conference & Exhibition Abstract. In 2016, NBCUniversal began the project to design and build the new global headquarters for Telemundo Enterprises in Miami Florida. The facility that became known as Telemundo Center would feature 13 production studios and seven control rooms supporting scripted episodic content, daily live news and sports programming, beginning with FIFA World Cup 2018. To support the scale and flexibility required for a facility of this magnitude, the key technical design consideration was the use of a software-defined video network infrastructure. At the time of launch in spring of 2018, Telemundo Center was home to the largest SMPTE ST 2110 environment in the world, consisting of over 12,000 unique HD sources and 150,000 multicast streams across audio and video. This paper will explore the major considerations and challenges in building such a large scale, all-IP broadcast production facility. We will demonstrate design factors around switching of video flows, redundancy, control and orchestration, PTP master clock systems and handoffs to multi-manufacturer SMPTE ST 2110 devices as well as non-IP enabled devices. This paper will also discuss our experience and lessons learned with utilizing a Software

A brief history is included. Part one is a report on the 3d-projection mapping project that I took part of as an intern at the digital creative agency North Kingdom. The other part consists of four analysis of different audiovisual works from various times and styles. The final part is a discussion of how animation relates to music, what music looks like and what the difference is between projections for a three dimensional objects and those for a flat surface, looking at both my project and these four analysis. Keywords: animation, visual music, projection mapping, VJ, computer graphics Kandidatuppsats om animation skapad för synkronisering med musik. En kortfattad historik är inkluderad. Del ett är en rapport från 3d-projektionsprojektet jag deltog i som praktikant på digitala reklambyrån North Kingdom. Den andra delen består av fyra analyser av olika audiovisuella verk från olika tider och stilar. Den sista delen är en diskussion om hur animation relaterar till musik, hur musik ser ut och vad skillnaden är mellan projektion för tredimensionella objekt jämfört med plana ytor, genom att titta både på mitt projekt och dessa fyra analyser.

  • Remix Magazine, September 1St 2002 TIME BANDITS
    Remix Magazine, September 1st 2002 TIME BANDITS Garry Cobain and Brian Dougans — aka Amorphous Androgynous and Future Sound of London — started making magic with sequencers and samplers long before Aphex Twin, The Orb and Orbital were just beginning to dabble in revolutionary sonic experiments. An ultraworld of quicksilver samples, sequenced atmospheres and lushly rolling beats, the duo's early masterpiece Lifeforms (Astralwerks, 1994) suggested, for the first time, an alternate sound world created with computer technology. But just as the world seemed ready for Future Sound of London and accepted their apocalyptic Dead Cities (Astralwerks, 1996) album with open arms, the devious duo disappeared, retreating to reclaim their souls as the media pervaded their psyches. Those were somewhat better times for the pair, before Cobain discovered a certain death that lurked inside his body. “I had developed an arrhythmic heart, massive food and environmental allergies, eczema and stiff joints,” says Cobain from FSOL's Kensal Road recording studio in London. “I realized that my immune system was shot to ribbons by my mercury fillings. Silver is the same thing as mercury. They use the word silver not to tell you that you have the second most toxic substance known to man in your gob. You are talking mass conspiracy shit here.” After having the fillings removed (Dougans followed suit), Cobain took up fasting, meditation and enema cleansing; slowly, year after year, his health returned. But even before Cobain's illness sidelined FSOL, Cobain and Dougans were already tiring of the scene, its influx of ambient compilations and growing corporate interference.

CZECH (Under the Direction of John Weaver) ABSTRACT This project opens space for looking at the world in a musical way where “jamming” with music through playing and listening to it helps one resist a more standardized and dualistic way of seeing the world. Instead of having a traditional dissertation, this project is organized like a record album where each chapter is a Track that contains an original song that parallels and plays off the subject matter being discussed to make a more encompassing, multidimensional, holistic, improvisational, and critical statement as the songs and riffs move along together to tell why an arts-based musical way of being can be a choice and alternative in our lives.

  • Muzik Magazine - July 2002
    Muzik Magazine - July 2002 ISNESS AS USUAL Gary Cobain on FSOL's strange journey from acid house to spiritual enlightenment - and the maddest record of 2002 Future Sound Of London, as much as Orbital or Aphex Twin, defined post-acid house electronica, from199'2 classic 'Papua New Guinea', and its accompanying 'Accelerator' LP to three adventurous albums for Virgin ('Lifeforms', 'ISDN', and 'Dead Cities'). You probably own at least one of their records, and if you haven't heard 'Papua...' you must have been sojourning on Uranus for the past 10 years. Judging by his madly psychedelic, prog rock comeback album 'The Isness', Gary Cobain (one half, with Brian Dougans, of FSOL) appears to have gone rather further out than that, mind you... "On the track 'Galaxial Pharmaceutical', everything is separate and connected, like the universe itself," Cobain says proudly. "I'm a urine drinker and I created the boy band phenomenon" he adds. In sandals, pale slacks and a white smock, he's holding forth in the duo's studio. Behind him is a poster of Shri Bagwan Ragneesh, the late Indian mystic who created a commune in Oregon notorious for its free love and ecstasy use. Such imagery is entirely suited to 'The Isness', which is coming out under FSOL's nom de fou, Amorphous Androgynous. It sits in the headspace between deep space electronics, Rave Shankar sitar-ism and 'Space Oddity'-style songs. But how did FSOL arrive here from the electronic dancefloor experiments of 'Stakker Humanoid' and 'Papua New Guinea'? "We were one of the most way-out, experimental electronic artists," exclaims Cobain with characteristic zeal.
