Asian broadcasters to experience IP workflows
OTT services. I think IP can really
expand our horizon. Having so
many different manufacturers to
come on board for the Broadcast
IP Inter-Op Lab will open up a
lot of windows for our media
business. ❞

❝ We’re implementing IP productions into our
workflows now because there is a demand for IP. One
reason for this is because of expensive satellite costs.
Moreover, all our clients also want to go IP, so we’ll
have to meet their expectations.
What we like at the Broadcast IP Inter-Op Lab is
the encoding workflow — it is interesting and is
something new to us. We hope to find some new
applications for this in our workplace. ❞

Group, Mediacorp
❝ We’re now studying the new IP environment,
although our broadcast infrastructure is still
purely terrestrial broadcasting. However, we’re
waiting for a common platform for IP production
and distribution.
The industry is waiting for IP standard to
mature so as to allow us to use any common
network switch for the distribution of our A/V
signals. ❞
