Improving Workflow Efficiency - The Challenges of True End-to-End Control and Monitoring

The traditional way for broadcasters to achieve an integrated system covering their entire workflow was to invest heavily in customized development. Only the wealthiest broadcasters could afford to do this, and therefore benefit from the workflow efficiencies that such an integrated system brings - giving operators a user-friendly view and control of all aspects of the operation. Today's financial environment drives all broadcasters, large and small, to maximize the efficient use of their assets, giving their staff the tools to do more with less. This increases the requirement for off-the-shelf packages that can approach the level of integration that previously necessitated custom development. This presentation will discuss the technical challenges involved in using a combination of generic protocols such as SNMP, and vendor-specific protocols, to provide cost-effective user-configurable end-to-end control and monitoring systems.
