SMPTE Toronto January Section Meeting

Description

Whether you are an ICT media operator, a broadcaster, or a broadband operator, the number of flows in your operation has been growing exponentially, and so has the number of services, delivery platforms and technology evolutions, such as SMPTE ST 2110, and Converged Interconnect Networks (CIN) for broadband services. The vast majority of flows are IP-based, managed as multicast, constituting the fabric upon which all your services are built and, ultimately, your flexibility to enable new services and enhance competitiveness. 

This SMPTE meeting will explore how to build, manage, evolve, and control the foundation of the video infrastructure with use cases in real video environments. Come to explore the nervous systems of the video companies' infrastructure.

Chris Lapp, Technical Solutions Architect for Media and Entertainment, CISCO 
Multi-Site Multicast for Broadcast Media

Ryan Morris, Systems Engineer, Arista Networks.
Maximizing Multicast, Minimizing Stress
This presentation will focus on how to get the most out of your multicast distribution network from best practices learned in the field.
