  • Publication number: 20160080274
    Abstract: A method, a system, an apparatus, and a computer program product for multi-protocol end-to-end control in a hybrid broadcast production environment. A topology model of a hybrid broadcast production system is stored, the topology model comprising connections between pieces of equipment and characteristics of each piece of equipment, the equipment including at least one broadcast router and one IP router. After receipt of information regarding a received media signal and of an intended destination for the media signal, a traffic flow for the media signal is determined based on the stored topology model of the system. Then, the broadcast router and IP router are controlled to enable the determined traffic flow.

  • Publication number: 20160057733
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for dynamic graph-based modeling and analysis system for broadcast environments. The graph model provides index-free adjacency for relationships between nodes, unlike relational databases, and is ideal for large volume, highly variable, semi structured and densely connected data. In particular, and unlike other graph-based modeling systems, the systems and methods discussed herein provide a modeling system that is aware of signal flow between components and through the graph model, from sources through processing and routing to destinations. Simultaneously, the system may be aware of signal types and formats and can enforce interconnection rules. The system may also execute in real-time, to provide dynamic and frame-accurate control of multiple routers throughout the broadcast environment.
