Remote Video Editing & Production
Summary
During the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens Greece, the
athletes weren’t the only ones setting records. One of Canada’s
leading Broadcasting Corporations also achieved a milestone.
Instead of moving its video editing and production operation to Athens, this company kept it in Montreal where the staff edited live video feeds, produced the final version and broadcast it throughout Canada.
Compared to the traditional method of moving equipment, people and temporary facilities onsite for major televised events like the Olympics, keeping video production at the home location saves a significant amount of time and money.
Project Initiative
To prepare for the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008, where, once again, CBC will conduct video editing and production half a world away from the live event. As such, their engineers must identify the impact of long haul delay on its video applications. They expect transmission time from Beijing to Montreal to be as long as 300ms in each direction, significantly higher than the 60 ms Athens to Montreal transmission time.
From China to Canada, video traffic will be carried on a SONET OC-3 link (155 Mbps). On this network, the broadcast company will build ATM Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVC’s) of various sizes, upon which they need to simulate propagation delays.
The Anue Solution at Work
CBC chose the Anue NetworkEmulator in order to provide “dialable latency measurements,” of up to 500 ms. (At OC-3 data rates, Anue’s M Series Emulator enables up to 4 seconds of delay, which more than met these requirements). They also needed a product that has multiple interfaces so
that both GigE and SONET links could be emulated with the same hardware platform.
Today, Broadcast Engineers in this corporation are testing their applications on a simulated WAN using Anue’s MSDG312, SONET/SDH OC3/ STM1 and OC12/STM4 Signal Delay Emulator.
The Win
With the help of the Anue WAN Emulator, they will be able to ensure with confidence that their process of editing and producing live video received from remote locations works as expected. Predictable performance with thousands of kilometers between links. Now that’s worth a gold medal.
