IP contribution
networks for
live broadcast
There is an alternative to satellite and microwave feeds.
BY HELGE STEPHANSEN
Traditionally, live remote broadcasts have used mi- crowave and satellite feeds to deliver signals from the
event location to the broadcast studio.
These are still highly viable methods,
and they remain in the broadcaster’s
toolkit for managing live events. How-
ever, with the growth and maturity of
IP networks, there is a third reliable
option for delivering high-quality
contribution content: video over IP.
