Why is moving to the cloud/virtualization most important to your business?
How does Virtualization Work?
• actual machine=host • guest machine=virtual machine • virtual machine manager= hypervisor
How does Virtualization Work?
Bare Metal
Virtualized
Virtualization Of…
• Broadcast applications • Software processing and file-based media • Processes with realtime video and audio streams
Virtualization of Broadcast Applications
Broadcast Applications
Playout Automation on-air w/VM Ware – Multi-channel – Redundant Architecture – Core services & operator GUI clients
Web Browser/HTML5-based GUI
Software processing and file-based media
Software Applications Handling File-based Media • Editing • Conversion/transformation e.g.: • Color management
• SD/HD format conversion • Standards/frame-rate conversion 25/29.97 • Aspect ratio conversion • Program runtime shrinkage/expansion
Software Applications Handling File-based Media Processing Algorithms e.g. • Audio processing • Video processing • Metadata processing

Architectural Model Client App
MAM
Orchestration
Application Model • FIMS—standardized SOAP interface • Under the auspices of AMWA • Allows open API integration
Licensing Model Client App
MAM
Orchestration
Multi-node, multi-user Key Benefit: • 5 concurrent jobs can be processed in real time • Dedicated license server (licenses not tied to the workstations doing the media processing) • One job queue providing orchestration for 5 processing nodes • More nodes can be added with ease

Virtualization & Cloud
Getting closer to the consumer
Utilizing data aggregation
Challenges • Virtualization adds cost • Virtualization adds complexity • How do we monitor “new video”? • How do we insure reliability • Some efficiency loss from bare metal • It takes minutes to spin up a channel but the assumptions are: • Hardware in place • application, workflow, programming, etc., all in place
• Virtualization/IP is flexible but SDI is also adaptable
