Time-Compensated Remote Production Over IP

Much has been said over the past few years about the benefits of moving to use more Internet Protocol (IP) in broadcast, most of which has focused on simply replacing the existing serial digital interface (SDI) connections with IP ones. This paper will look at where the use of IP can enable innovative ways of working that would not be possible or practical without IP. This paper will pay specific attention to remote production as this is an area where latency cannot be avoided. Finding methods to make use of the latency can lead to more flexible methods of production, which could drastically change the costs models for live production of outside events.
