HIGHLIGHTS
Examples of team sports are basketball, baseball, football, hockey, and, for reasons that will make sense to anyone who has seen the back of a TOC rack, we’ll add studio projects.
There is no finish line without a dash of luck, an occasional punt, and a whole lot of teamwork. That’s true for any studio project, and it was especially true for 98.5 The Sports Hub, Boston’s flagship station for football, hockey, basketball, and soccer that moved into a new studio space a while back, along with seven other Beasley stations.
We’re rethinking how to build a radio station.
It wasn’t too long ago that you needed a studio for every station and a fader for every source in that studio. Then along came AoIP, and with it, every source on every fader and the shrinking size and number of studios needed.
Now, with automation systems like Zetta, WideOrbit, and ENCO tightly integrated into WheatNet IP, we can do even more with less.
“The automation system is now essentially driving things so when I hit the button to put my live show on air, the automation comes in and lays out all the faders and away we go. That changes the way we think about building studios,” commented our Tech Support Engineer John Davis, who commissions dozens of WheatNet IP studios every year.
Sometime in April the Internet crossed a major sound barrier. Researchers transferred 301 Tbps of data across a single standard optical fiber, the equivalent of transferring 1,800 4K movies over the internet in one second and 4.5 million times faster than the average home broadband speed today.
And to think, we used to consider a gigabit-per-second fast! At the rate things are going, we will all be ziplining live media across distance and space soon.
Not so fast. In order for the real world to catch up to those speeds—and by ‘real world’ we mean live-streaming audio or video between studios, sports venues, and cloud server farms—we’ll need a much more robust IP transport protocol.
