Powering IP Live
We’re making production more flexible and cost-effective with our end-to-end IP Live solutions based on open standards. From optimized use of studio resources to remote and shared production, IP Live from Sony drives workflow efficiency and opens up exciting new creative possibilities for broadcasters and content creators.
The Challenge
Conventional SDI-based broadcast infrastructures can lack the flexibility to cope with the needs of today’s program making – from accomodating higher resolutions and frame rates to remote production and equipment sharing between sites.
The Sony Difference
Alongside a growing portfolio of IP-enabled products including system cameras, switchers, servers and monitors, Sony offers a proven suite of solutions for the management, control and orchestration of IP production resources.
The Benefits
Distributed production and remote integration allows more flexible, efficient use of production resources with opportunities for resource – sharing of production resources across multiple facilities from a central IP-enabled facility.
