Purchase options and add-ons

This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the technology architecture, physical facility changes and – most importantly – the new media management workflows and business processes to support the entire lifecycle of the IP broadcast facility from an engineering and workflow perspective.

Fully updated, this second edition covers the technological evolutions and changes in the media broadcast industry, including the new standards and specifications for live IP production, the SMPTE ST2110 suite of standards, the necessity of protecting against cyber threats and the expansion of cloud services in opening new possibilities. It provides users with the necessary information for planning, organizing, producing and distributing media for the modern broadcast facility.

Key features of this text include:

    • Strategies to implement a cost-effective live and file-based production and distribution system.

    • A cohesive, big-picture viewpoint that helps you identify how to overcome the challenges of upgrading your plant.

    • The impact live production is having on the evolution to IP.

    • Case studies serve as recommendations and examples of use.

    • New considerations in engineering and maintenance of IP and file-based systems.

    Those in the fields of TV, cable, IT engineering and broadcast engineering will find this book an invaluable resource, as will students learning how to set up modern broadcast facilities and the workflows of contemporary broadcasting.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A concise, easily digestible guide for media engineering veterans and students
    Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2022

    I challenge any media engineer to show me a more current and comprehensive guide to migrating from a signal switched (SDI) to packet-switched (IP) infrastructure.

    Media engineering consultant and industry pundit Gary Olson wrote the first edition of "Planning and Designing the IP Broadcast Facility - A New Puzzle to Solve" in 2014. Different than other technical writers, Gary updated his first edition and with the second edition went into greater depth on questions raised in the first edition.

    There never seems to be enough time for a practicing media engineer to keep up with the continually evolving media and entertainment technology landscape. His book is a concise, easily digestible guide for industry veterans who are stuck in their silos and students who don't know just where to start.

    This book helps disambiguate the alphabet soup of media engineering acronyms, demystify the jargon, and analyze the overlapping conglomeration of joint working groups and standards committees. Gary Olson seems to have developed a magic decoder ring to penetrate the idiosyncrasies of confusing terminology and industry-specific definitions, abbreviations, and initialisms. He defines acronyms and places their meaning in context. Gary explores misconceptions and explodes what he considers common myths, such as system and device interoperability.

    Gary explains the assortment of terms invented by different standards organizations and industry alliances. He covers AMWA, FIMS, NMOS, AMES, ASPEN, VSF, ISO, IETF, and SMPTE and serves up a concise top-down explanation of JT-NM, SOA, BPM, SMPTE ST2110 and compression standards 12G-SDI, 4K, 8K, and UHD and delivery over 5G, ATSC3.0. And that's just before stopping to take a breath.

    The 2nd Edition is much more than a media and entertainment technology glossary. Instead, it's a comprehensive tutorial on standards terminology and jargon that explains all the evolving pieces of the puzzle.
