More and more media companies are breaking free from hardware limitations, and we are all for it!

To match those next-gen needs, we are constantly adding to Artisto, our Software Media Engine. New updates further expand its central role in broadcasters' media workflows and make it perfect for larger integrated IP setups (2110, redundancy and top notch physical controllers, anyone?). 🏢🚐🎙️

Want to hear more about how Artisto can future-proof your business? Come say hi at our IBC - International Broadcasting Convention booth 10.D31j, or book a slot in our calendar (only a few spots left !) at: https://lnkd.in/emEFUUvY. See you there!

Tradeshow season has started again, giving us a chance to broadly discuss digital transformation. It’s amazing to see how well everybody is aligned about the same topics and how we bond over similar interests.

These are some things we find to be resonating most loudly in recent conversations. Do you agree? 🔊

1. It’s nice to meet in person again, we feel some good energy and excitement from the people on site. Getting closer to your audience also applies to your partners and customers!

2. The industry is going more and more software. Legacy hardware is losing ground. New infrastructure projects fully embrace the new paradigm. The trend is the same on both sides of the Atlantic.

3. The industry is starting to find the right balance between on-prem, edge computing and the cloud. It's all about putting the power where it makes sense. Control and processing are two processes that can be dissociated.

4. Whereas video software solutions multiply, very few vendors actually master audio-centric production software solutions. That's where we shine!

5. More than ever, easing the technical integration and putting UX at the center of the solutions is key. A customer told us they had to invest 1800 man/hours to properly integrate and configure 4 audio mixers in 3 studios. As an industry, we can do better than that!

In February, we had the great opportunity to speak at the European Broadcasting Union - EBU Digital Radio Summit. Let’s recap and talk about a key thought in our presentation: the virtualisation of the production infrastructure.

📀 We believe in a digitalised media market. If you want to be a part of those who set the tone for tomorrow, it’s critical to rethink your existing, fixed, hardware-based solutions. Going truly digital can make production run more smoothly and unlock the flexibility required to reach your audience at heart.

🌎 Thanks to digitalisation, processing doesn’t need to happen in the same physical space as the control room. So it is no longer necessary to limit yourself to a specific physical location. The new studio allows you to create anywhere - possibly even remotely - in broadcast quality and without latency.

📈 Virtualisation makes for scalability. Imagine if you don’t have enough equipment to handle a sudden peak in events. Will you be forced to cancel the job or rent out extra hardware? Going digital solves those peak usage problems and fixes redundancy in slower periods.

Replay available here: https://lnkd.in/dqji4BKD

What can virtualisation bring to media production? We will we talking about just that during our session at the European Broadcasting Union - EBU Digital Radio Summit tomorrow from 12:05 to 12:30.

If you believe in virtualization as much as we do, or you’re interested to lean more, you’re more than welcome to join. We will zoom in on how our products are used to build new studios, large-scale production facilities and even disaster recovery scenarios!

Breaking free from the current hardware environment allows you to get closer to your audience. That’s the ultimate goal, right?

Curious what’s going to happen in audio production this year? We’ve predicted 4 key trends. You can read the full blog on our website.

☁️ - The cloud is more than a dream... (anyone working remotely?)

Broadcasters are not just talking about cloud, they’re spending money on it!

🚚 - Software will ‘eat’ traditional studios and production trucks

Is hardware holding back remote and distributed production?

🎶 - Live Audio

Cracking live audio is yet to happen. Remember those massive Fortnite concerts? How long will events like that remain prerecorded?

🪐 - Spatial audio in the metaverse

If we all run around as online avatars, what’s left of reality? Spatial audio is only the start of pushing live audio towards more immersive experiences.

4 trends in audio production for 2022

STADIEM (Startup Driven innovation in European Media) brings start-ups, scale-ups, investors and media organisations together to foster the development of the Next Generation Media solutions focused on innovation.

As one of the 16 start- and scale-ups (out of 200) carefully selected for this influential program, we try to solve today's most prominent challenges met by European media brands.

What challenge did we pick up? Together with RTBF , we create a new distributed agile production platform that prepares broadcasters for the digital media age.

We are already coming to the end of the Develop phase and can't wait to share more about this project in the coming months. Want to know a bit more about our solution already?

In 2021, there was a vast increase in cloud-driven productions, but what does that mean for 2022?

In a Vizrt webinar, Alessandro Reitano, Senior Vice President at Sky Sport DE, talks about why technology nowadays should be decentralised so that production opportunities for broadcasters become more scalable.

Interestingly, SKY Sports Germany chose a handball game for their most recent tests. A production that requires very fast-paced, low-latency operations, extra content for fan engagement through innovative angles, and the need to remain cost-efficient.

🗝 Software-based operations fit the bill because they are scalable, simple and don't require much training while ensuring consistent workflows.

A second takeaway is that audio production in the cloud is notoriously difficult.

Enters On-Hertz! We are happy to report that our NDI implementation in Artisto makes it a breeze to integrate full-fledged broadcast audio mixing into cloud operations. 🙌

Curious for more insights? Then we recommend watching the complete webinar by Vizrt about the future of cloud and NDI: https://go.vizrt.com/LiveProductionCloud/PannelwithSkyGermany/Demo/OnDemand/ThankYou

On-Hertz - virtual production solutions for broadcast & media

The IABM asked us our vision on how media economics are evolving

What do we believe? That media convergence is happening, yet the number of channels to our audiences is exploding. It is a phenomenon that here to stay and media brands need to be prepared for it.

🚨 That means investing in a flexible and robust virtual backbone that gives production teams maximal reach.

In other words: go digital, adopt "as-a-service" ways of working rather than investing in on-premises hardware.

Of course, physical control surfaces will remain, but the intelligence and processing will be virtualised and distributed.

🗞 Want to know more about why we think the future of audio production is unplugged? Read all about it in our IABM article: https://www.on-hertz.com/post/the-future-of-media-is-unplugged-digital-transformation-for-a-new-reality
