IP Video Technology Update 2013
In 2013, video transport over Internet Protocol (IP) networks continues to flourish throughout the broadcast industry for all types of live and real-time programming. IP technology for delivering video to viewers has matured, using the public Internet to stream all types of content to devices via both hardwired and mobile connections. The popularity of this medium was demonstrated by the 8 million viewers who watched live video coverage via IP streaming of Felix Baumgartner parachute from an altitude of 127,000 ft, as well as the observation that Netflix and YouTube comprise approximately one-half of the world's Internet traffic. However, IP is also increasingly being used farther up the professional broadcast production chain, even going so far as to extend all the way to the camera and thus eliminate the need for SDI interfaces and cabling.
