HIGHLIGHTS
MORE SOFTWARE, FEWER ENGINEERS, BETTER MUSIC (HOPEFULLY)
What we know about the coming year so far is that FTX bitcoin is out and OpenAI is in. We know that virtualization has reached the inner sanctum of broadcasting, that supply chain issues continue to cast a long shadow across our industry, and that the broadcast facility of the future most certainly will involve servers and possibly a data center or two. What follows are a few takeaways from 2022 as we look ahead to 2023, from studios getting smaller and AoIP stretching farther to what we learned about cloud from gamers.
STUDIO STANDARDIZATION TAKES OFF
The year saw studio standardization projects take off in a big way, many combining both glass surfaces for laptops and console surfaces for fixed studios shared across dozens of stations. Shown above, Bonneville San Francisco studios.
…AND SO DOES LAYERS SOFTWARE SUITE
It finally happened, after years of anticipation and speculation. The industry’s first all-software broadcast suite for streaming, mixing and FM/HD audio processing arrived in April. We call it Layers Software Suite, which runs on any server in your rack room or off-site at an AWS or other cloud extension of the WheatNet-IP audio network.
