Abstract:
Engineers are tasked to get broadcasts on-air from some very out-of-the-way places. From car dealers to tire shops, from park concerts to canoe races, and even the occasional balloon glow miles from anywhere, broadcast engineers strive to bring audio and video back to the station. The once-reliable telephone companies have already reduced their connection offerings and service footprint, leaving engineers to be creative in tying the studio to the off-site event. Radio engineers need workable alternatives to ISDN, and many television engineers are restricted from using the satellite truck unless absolutely necessary, leaving them to seek high-bandwidth connectivity, too. Today’s connectivity solutions typically involve IP—both wired and wireless. Often times a clever mix of IP connection services and technologies are required to bring a broadcast in from the field.
Leading broadcast engineers and vendor technical representatives will discuss the latest practices and workable solutions to “get there from anywhere.”
