End-to-end live production technology built for scale

In a legacy satellite architecture, each site operates independently with its own dishes, IRDs, and RF routing hardware. This creates duplicated infrastructure, limited signal sharing, and higher operational complexity.

With a centralized IP model, satellite RF is terminated at core earth stations and converted into IP-based transport streams. Signals are then securely distributed over managed WAN or public internet using standards such as TSoIP and SRT. This allows broadcasters to share, scale, and reroute services dynamically without duplicating hardware at every location.

No — when designed correctly, it significantly improves it.

Centralized architectures enable automated routing, monitoring, and failover. With standards such as ST 2022-7 and SRT, streams can be protected across diverse network paths. Instead of relying on isolated, site-level redundancy, resilience becomes centrally managed and orchestrated — increasing visibility and reducing manual intervention.

Migrating to IP reduces both hardware footprint and specialist touchpoints.

By consolidating RF demodulation and converting to IP centrally:

• Edge sites no longer require full satellite stacks

• Power, cooling, and rack space requirements decrease

• Onboarding new affiliates or services becomes faster

• Centralized APIs allow integration with orchestration platforms

The result is lower operational overhead, simplified infrastructure, and greater scalability — without compromising broadcast-grade performance.
