The Fundamentals of the All-IT Media Facility
Over the past ten years, file-based (information technology [IT]) production and broadcast workflows have become mature. However, the migration of realtime audiovisual workflows using IT has taken a back seat, until now. With the advent of software-defined networks and storage, 10G Ethernet, low-latency network switching, computing virtualization methods, and widely available web apps such as Software as a Service, the move to the “all-IT facility” is on the horizon. This paper describes the enabling technologies and their role in the migration, technical obstacles and advances to resolve them are described, and a clear path to the all-IT facility is outlined.
