总部位于悉尼, 全球发展, one of the most diverse media production services companies in Australia, has changed the way remote production is delivered by creating cost efficiencies and scalability – thanks, 在很大程度上, 到clearcom技术. Working together with system technology integrator Elevate Broadcast, 十大正规体育平台的合作伙伴, the 全球发展 team utilizes a 十大正规体育平台 通信 system comprised of Eclipse® HX数字矩阵和 FreeSpeak二世® 数字无线对讲机的补充 Agent-IC® Mobile App to produce the Australian Professional League’s (APL) A-League men’s and women’s soccer programming for Australian commercial television network “Network 10” and the subscription VOD service, 派拉蒙+.
“当我们进入这个项目时, we were looking to take the way remote production and outside broadcast was done even further,丹尼斯·布雷肯里奇说, 全球发展的首席技术官. “We endeavored to drive economies of scale and operational efficiencies, 为我们的客户节省了大量资金, and offering as good if not better levels of coverage than they were used to receiving. It really all comes down to the technology we implement and our ideology of what remote production can be by harnessing 2110 IP connectivity.”
值得注意的是, the system was originally commissioned and produced in Singapore in 2020 during the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown, allowing Dennis’ team to produce the broadcast fully remotely from nearly 4,千里之外.
现在, 而系统(和制作团队)则是在悉尼, 他们仍然能够完成无缝的远程生产. 全球推进系统的支柱是 Eclipse HX-Delta, 一个高密度的3RU机架机架，支持点对点, or one-to-many (party line or conference) 通信 up to 256 ports. 它与 LQ® Series IP Interfaces out to the field for moving and distributing comms signals to and from all the communication points on the network, 并集成了一个动态Eclipse配置(Dynam-EC™)附加模块, 安德鲁·帕森斯, 全球发展的公关经理, 说起了很大的作用.
“I use Dynam-EC extensively to actively control all the comms facilities to manage the overall system,他说. “I was able to architect and manage the communication between all the different venues on any given weekend. It allows a single 通信 person located in a control room to manage up to 6 APL games in an evening, which is far more efficient than a typical comms management workflow supporting multiple locations.”
“We look at how technology can enable us to re-invent or recreate current more traditional production processes and I see 通信 as one of the most important elements of a seamless production,丹尼斯说。. “因为我们正在使用100% 2110 IP设施和连接, we chose to use a 十大正规体育平台 intercom system with 2110 in and out of our data center so we can directly integrate our comms into the architecture and dramatically reduce our equipment and personnel footprint.”
所有通信都是由十大正规体育平台系统路由和控制的, distributed over IP from that data center out to the comms panels in the control rooms, then over the IP national network directly to the cameras and wireless systems in the field. 这个解决方案的结果是无缝的, 沟通的持续流动, servicing multiple games and their various production teams and media operators at multiple locations all at once. There is no need to distribute multiple systems or conversion devices in the field as all equipment directly takes the 2110 signals natively.
使用澳大利亚电信的DPN -数字生产网络, all the APL game content and media coming from the stadiums travels through the country-wide network over fiber straight to 全球发展’s data center, which serves as their central production hub 处理 the SMPTE2110 signals with fully remote production systems and providing network connectivity and delivery capabilities. 数据中心连接各个电视广播控制室(TCR), 位于另一个15-30公里外, all linked up via fiber and operating seamlessly with replay control, 生产控制, 视觉控制, 通信, 评论, 工作室, 音频控制室. 这种类型的三管式分布式架构(in-field), 处理, and control systems) supports 全球发展 with advanced flexibility to relocate its control rooms at any time and provide facilities nationwide, 提供移动和敏捷的生产基础设施.
最后, a Freespeak II system delivers ultra-low latency capabilities for all the wireless coverage required by the production crew and team on the field, and the Agent-IC mobile app allows remote team members to connect via their phones and still maintain reliable comms with production and on-field crew.
“Being able to integrate our comms into our IP infrastructure and for example, directly interface with our cameras straight out of our Eclipse-Delta frames has been critical to us,丹尼斯说。. “It’s removed the traditional method of building complex infrastructure in the field.” He also praises the LQ series for giving them significant flexibility to run on either public or private networks.
“十大正规体育平台系统的质量说明了一切，”他说. “Our setup delivers exceptional system performance and high capacity for expansion to meet our constantly changing production demands. Communication is such a core part of these types of remote applications.“然而, 与十大正规体育平台合作的决定不仅仅是1和0, encompassing their unwavering commitment to an exceptional level of support. “Working with the 十大正规体育平台 team was more than just a technology decision for 全球发展; it was a relationship decision.”
