Introduction
The media and entertainment industry is undergoing a fundamental shift toward cloud-based live production workflows. Broadcasters want to realize new avenues of revenue by unlocking global workflows, produce more content with fewer resources, and drive viewer engagement at scale. This shift reduces costs through decreased crew travel and capital expenses for production hardware that sits idle between events. It provides scalability and agility to handle variable production schedules without building for peak capacity. Cloud environments offer experimentation and innovation where you can test new technologies without disrupting live productions. They improve sustainability through reduced carbon footprint from decreased travel and more efficient data center operations. They also provide access to a global workforce that can operate productions from anywhere in the world.
Deterministic timing and synchronization are critical in broadcast operations….
