Advanced Program Production & Playout Control System Using High-speed Network
  Background and Purpose
  Broadcasters are currently examining the possibility of transitioning from the conventional program production and control system using VCR tapes to an advanced system based on an IP network and audio-video data files. A networked broadcasting station system would have an improved work flow and enable sharing of program materials and equipment. It would contribute to more efficient program production and transmission. To reduce the registration time, a broadcasting system using data files will require a server that can transfer completed program files to the playout control system at high speed.
  This section of our exhibition introduces a high-speed distributed server system and a plug-and-play based program production system that a user can access from anywhere by connecting an editing terminal to the network.
  Features
  • Plug-and-play based program production system
    • The editing terminal automatically searches for and connects to program materials and equipment on the network, by following the program's editing description.
    • The new synchronized transmission protocol is effective over a long-distance IP network and allows for real-time editing using remotely located materials.
  • Distributed server system
    • The distributed server system, composed of multiple servers, attains redundancy by duplicating files. The plug-and-play based technology eliminates convergence; servers that are not in use at the time of file transfer can be selected. This increases the speed of file transfers and efficiently uses the entire frequency band of the network.
  Future Work
We will use the plug-and-play based technology to construct a functional and reliable broadcasting system that can flexibly incorporate future technological advances.
