Daily life often runs like a movie. Only the scenes and actors change. Whether in private life or in the professional environment, displays, images, data transmission and manipulation are ever-present, in an ever-advancing, high-resolution complexity and speed for the benefit of the viewer and user.
Wide ranges of products, often from different suppliers, have to be connected to create a diverse range of applications. They have to be able to communicate and interact through an, often long, chain of technologies from recording to playback. A complex IP network has to be able to connect the various technologies, not only providing transmission, but also managing interface protocols to provide global information to multiple destinations for both commercial and private use.
Transmission of data is fundamental to achieving this. Often the decision of how to transmit information is determined by economics and geography. Local, wide area, mobile, trunk network and satellite transmission all play their part. For domestic use, fibre optic local loop technology is playing a significant part, along with 5G Mobile data, in providing end users with high quality data and images that the market demands.
Studio equipment has a central importance for the broadcast industry. In broadcast productions such as radio on-air, live performances, live broadcasts or theater, the synergy of controls and functions are crucial for moving live moments in image and sound.
Ergonomics in the setup paired with functionality for the user and the integration of the latest technology components are among the fundamental aspects here. The entire equipment is subject to high quality requirements in terms of look and feel and is equipped with high-quality components.
Consoles are among the most important components of broadcast audio/video production. Equipped with customised tablet technologies and navigation via finger gestures, the functionalities of console operation are constantly advancing. This opens up a new dynamic for the operator in broadcast design, especially for live entertainment.
Live production systems are used in the background for the transmission of sporting events or concerts. These are used, for example, to capture highlights and play them back immediately as an excerpt or using a slow motion effect. This allows highlights to be broadcast more quickly and simplified via the system design and transmitted to the viewer. Managing camera settings, capturing different moments and switching over the main image in real time is very demanding and requires synergy between the operator and the system. Network, audio, video, surveillance and control solutions - harmonized within an IP platform that creates an innovative working environment for the visionary development of the industry.
The network requirements need a combination of innovative technologies and intelligent routing of IP data. It requires an integration of hardware, software and services for a seamless interaction of the solution over the wired network or satellite communication.
The advantages are the unlimited access and availability that the user has almost everywhere. The continuous development and reception of satellite Internet shows the alternatives for the future. These include VoIP (Voice-over-IP), video streaming, web access or connection to e-mail and social media, anywhere in the world.
New updated standards DVB-S2 and DVB-S2X are becoming prominent whilst older standards, DVB-S and DVBDSNG, continue to be supported and regulated.
Converters are used to create high frequency bandwidths with greater stability in satellite applications for broadcast, telecommunications and IP.
Satellite modems provide for barrier-free transmission of the latest standards.
Gateways provide an efficient satellite interface and enable a higher density of hubs and terminals. For distribution networks, from the user, to the head-end, via the tower to satellite, the application of the latest technology is providing global, uninterrupted access to data.
IP networks are an essential part of the broadcast world. The infrastructures are intelligent, low-latency, trustworthy, deterministic and discoverable. Only the communication and connectivity among them must work and function without restrictions. Widely used among the various formats is AoIP - Audio over IP for two-way network exchanges, increasing utilization and connecting multiple networks into a fully virtualized real-time routing and processing infrastructure. Designed and aligned for a full-IP infrastructure with multi-functionality and flexibility, combining all the cornerstones for intercom, audio and video. With future transmission rates, there are no limits to innovation - the broadcast world is already set up for tomorrow and is thus adaptable and expandable for the future at any time.
The audio network is the linchpin of any installation – an all-rounder for the network. Configurations with different interfaces, hot-plug options and online configuration are becoming fundamental. The networks are expandable on the system side, changeable, fail- safe and equipped with high performance and reliability. HD technology requires constantly increasing bandwidths for an unrestricted user experience.
IP-based infrastructures allow format independence – whether HD, HDR, UHD, 4K or 8K. Constantly increasing bandwidths are the backbone for further development of the broadcast industry and offer a scope, with expansion potential, for an unrestricted user experience in new quality.

For the broadcasting of sporting events or concerts, live production systems work in the background. These are used, for example, to capture highlights and immediately play them back as a section or by means of a slow-motion effect. They also allow highlights to be broadcasted more quickly and transmitted to the viewer in a simplified way, as part of the system design.
