Video Transport used for remote editorial review at ITN Productions
Summary
Initially looking for a solution that could take the NDI feed being cast across the network directly from Avid Media Composer and present it as a preview link to producers for an over the shoulder view of the timeline, the team discovered that the VT Receiver app can also pick that signal up and output to an SDI broadcast monitor via the available I/O hardware. The second use case wasn’t originally envisioned: online editors who have I/O boxes at home use the VT Receiver app to get a professional output on their broadcast monitor — via DNXiQ or DeckLink — both Blackmagic products. To do their job effectively, they need to be looking at an image that is the best representation of the local footage so any streaming technology we deploy has to live up to that aspiration. The Medialooks web-based control panel is used to identify I/O devices connected to a workstation and push signals out to broadcast monitors. On average — since bandwidth hasn’t been an issue — the bit rate is set to 15 Mbps and sometimes bumped to about 30 when extra quality is needed.
