Earlier this year we started working on an exciting project with BBC Research & Development on their long term programme developing IP Studio – the next generation IP-network based broadcast television platform. The BBC are developing new industry-wide standards working with manufacturers which will hopefully be adopted worldwide.
This new technology dramatically changes the equipment needed for live TV broadcasting. Instead of large vans stocked with pricey equipment and a team of people; shows can be recorded, edited and streamed live by a single person with a 4k camera, a laptop and internet access.
The freedom of being able to stream and edit live TV within the browser will open up endless possibilities for the entertainment and media sector.
