Implementing Server-Based Systems in the Broadcast Environment

This presentation will focus on the practical considerations of implementing a server in a broadcast facility. Beyond the selection process of the hardware and software involved, a successful installation and operation of a server-based solution involves a number of factors to be taken into consideration. A discussion of these factors and a real-world case study will be presented as illustration. — Broadcasters moving into the server-based production and playback arena also need to be cognizant of the impact a server will have on the daily operation of their facility. Usually there is an impact on the way work is accomplished, primarily to take advantage of the new capabilities that a disk-based server offers to the broadcast facility. A reevaluation of job functions and work flow is usually an integral part of the planning process prior to a server implementation. This presentation will offer a framework for this process, as well as offering a case study for examination.
