HIGHLIGHTS
DIFFERENT STATIONS, SAME AOIP
How often have you been driving along and noticed a new business sign going up? What used to be Bank A is now Bank B, or maybe the bank is gone and what used to sit at the corner of First and Elm is now a new shoe store.
Welcome to same place, different business, a trend that seems to be happening a lot lately, especially in broadcasting.
“The manufacturer of most of our TV transmitters has been gone since 2014. We’re still running them but it’s a reminder that you have to have a level of trust in what you’re putting into your station because it’ll be there a long time,” said Matt Monin, Director of Broadcast Engineering, TV, for Arkansas PBS who also takes on studio projects for other broadcasters in the state.
RISTY BUSINESS
A while back, we told you about a new protocol for transporting video and audio in real-time over the internet. We explained that RIST, or Reliable Internet Stream Transport, adds error correction and packet recovery to UDP multicasting, which gives you audio quality on top of low latency for live-streaming audio and control data across public networks (where links are less reliable and distance adds more delay). Here’s what else you should know about RIST for transporting audio and control from a local AoIP network in your building to a sports venue, regional server or third-party cloud provider like AWS.
KEEPING AN EYE ON LEVELS
There are three critical indicators on the mixing desk that help you keep an eye on audio levels.
