UHD IP P&B Solution
The media industry increasingly recognizes the importance of Ultra-High-Definition (UHD) video and media convergence. As competition from the mobile Internet intensifies and policies drive industry development, traditional media is confronted with a range of challenges. Our Intelligent Media Solutions are ready to help. Now is the time to start your transformation journey with Huawei towards a digital and intelligent future.
With extensive industry expertise, Huawei provides the IP Production and Broadcasting (P&B) Network Solution to overcome the limitations media companies may be experiencing due to the rise of UHD videos. This solution features high reliability, security, precise clock synchronization, and easy scheduling with a large capacity, addressing needs in crucial areas like studios, control, and playout.
Benefits
High Bandwidth, Performance, and Capacity
The system can carry and schedule 2000 channels of uncompressed 4K signals, with each link capable of handling up to eight channels. This slashes the cables required by 30 times. By replacing copper with optical cables, the total cable weight is also significantly reduced.
Efficient and Secure P&B
The built-in clean switching algorithm enables instant image switching with high-definition visuals. It eliminates the need for peripheral switching devices. Our industry-leading clock synchronization technology enables precise lip synchronization, and the SDN architecture allows for visualized O&M and non-blocking traffic scheduling, making the P&B system more efficient and user-friendly. In addition, dynamic protocols are not required, as traffic is controlled based on trustlists and not forwarded by default. This prevents traffic loops and attacks, ensuring a secure P&B environment.
Open IP Technology System
The solution can seamlessly integrate with various media protocols and applications. Compared with SDI systems, the IP solution halves the network cost, while also enabling long-term evolution with a single investment.
Architecture
Our IP P&B solution is applicable to different broadcasting scenarios, including studios, Outside Broadcasting (OB) vans, master control rooms, and the playout domain. It uses a spine-leaf architecture and can seamlessly integrate with applications from our partners.
IP network devices support data transmission at a bandwidth up to 100 or 400 Gbps over fibers that extend 40 or 80 km, ensuring full-line-speed forwarding of heavy multicast traffic.
The universal and open IP technology architecture supports a range of video and audio formats that use IP-based standards. It is fully compatible with commonly used media devices. This allows users to choose from an array of devices and expand the system with ease on demand.
