Broadcast and Network Integration using the Network Control (SDN) API
IP based Live Broadcast production is almost here and a production-ready system requires more than basic management of media flows. A production-ready system must have orchestration, security, diagnostics, scale, and redundancy capabilities. A richer integration between the broadcast systems and the network is required to achieve these capabilities. — There needs to be an interoperable interface between the Broadcast Controller and the Network to permit an open, flexible, and multi-vendor environment. This paper explores architectural aspects of the interface (Network Control API) between the Broadcast and the Network Controller. The presentation will describe how Network Control delivers the abovementioned capabilities and extends the interactions of the Broadcast systems.
