The broadcast industryrsquos first Glass-to-Glass IP solution for production studios and broadcast operations centers has been introduced by Grass Valley a Belden Brand Our solutions are ldquoGlass-to-Glassrdquo because they offer video-over-IP connectivity (SMPTE ST 2022-6) across all the key stages of production from acquisition to control room monitoring This spans cameras routing gateways plus control and monitoring along with servers production switching and multiviewers TICO 41 visually lossless compression is also supported in our cameras and production switchers to enable 4K in both SDI and IP infrastructures

This unmatched breadth of IP products simplifies system design and ongoing maintenance while also providing assurance about interoperability However our approach to IP is characterized by a very open less proprietary stance As an advocate for open standards Grass Valley developed its IP philosophy to encompass best-in-class third-party commercial off the shelf (COTS) IP switches as well as a commitment to deploying commonly accepted and key emerging IP standards like SMPTE ST 2022-6 TICO visually lossless 41 compression VSF TR-03 and VSF TR-04 Combined this offers greater flexibility in the development of your IP infrastructure as well as greater confidence that your system will meet future standards for interoperability

Broadcasters are embracing IP and the migration from SDI for one clear reason Agility

With the agility of IP broadcasters will be set up to handle the growing needs of their broadcast plant today and perhaps even more importantly their ability to continue expanding easily in the future is assured Itrsquos this agility through technology that makes IP so appealing High data rates wide bandwidth and a system thatrsquos both format agnostic and scalable for whatever the future brings

At the heart of our open Glass-to-Glass IP approach is the Broadcast Data Center concept an enhanced version of the traditional IP data center The Broadcast Data Center means that you get all the advantages of IP data center topologies (scalability graceful fault

tolerance and flexible processing) with support for the features needed in live broadcast (vertical accuracy even for secondary switching hybrid audiovideo routing ultra-low latency) Because Grass Valley lets you go IP all the way to terminal gear you get true multiformat support over one wire whether HD or 4K

Full IP also delivers support for dual-path redundancy mdash typical in IP designs all through the signal chain mdash and because you donrsquot need racks and racks of IP conversion gear you eliminate a point of failure and are more economical

The first component of the Broadcast Data Center is GV Node a real time IP processing and routing platform With GV Node you can enable native IP terminal devices such as cameras production switchers servers and replay devices to be direct connected mdash over IP mdash to a scalable fault tolerant infrastructure that is fully IP GV Node gives you something that unheard of in IP for video deterministic vertically accurate switching within IP

Further enhancing our open approach is our software defined networking (SDN) control system GV Convergent This delivers familiar and highly intuitive control of hybrid (IPSDI) and pure IP facilities using traditional broadcast-centric control panels or intuitive GUIs for control of COTS IP switches and SDI routers In essence GV Convergent makes IP infrastructures operate more like broadcast SDI with low latency switching mdash it also hides the underlying complexity of managing hybrid IPSDI systems

ldquoGlass-to-Glassrdquo Video-over-IP Solutions

Why go IPThe broadcast market is still heavily SDI-centric but there is growing momentum towards systems based on standardized video-over-IP (SMPTE ST 2022-6) So whatrsquos driving this transition to IP Agility

Leveraging the IT pace of innovation

A key factor behind the move to video-over-IP is that it enables broad-casters to leverage the economies of scale of the IT industry which offers fast developing switching capabilities rapid bandwidth growth and higher reliability

Moving to IP will ultimately allow a shift from dedicated broadcast hard-ware to virtualized and cloud-based infrastructures which offer even greater infrastructure flexibility and easier upgradability

Creating a Future-Ready format agnostic broadcast facility

Traditionally as video formats have advanced to offer higher resolution or more sophisticated audio they have required broadcasters to undertake significant infrastructure rebuilds with associated costs and potential dis-ruption However Ethernet (IP) is format agnostic and allows a transition to next generation formats mdash like 4K mdash without a major infrastructure change

Simplifying facility infrastructures with less cabling

With IP a higher number of signals can be carried on a single cable minimizing cabling For instance using traditional coax it would require 96 cables to deliver 12 bidirectional 4K signals In contrast this can be achieved with a single 40 GigE link which speeds installation reduces errors and also saves weight

Creating a more flexible more agile facility

Perhaps most importantly the move to video-over-IP allows broadcasters to transition to more scalable more agile facilities By moving to a distrib-uted IP switching model using a classical ldquospine and leafrdquo type architec-ture broadcasters can scale systems from small to very large systems in a highly linear manner In contrast a traditional routing model can involve making often difficult decisions about router sizes at the outset and big and costly steps in capacity as extra router frames are added

Additionally IP infrastructures are better suited to fast service launches and high network availability can improve access to content from any-where This can open up new multiplatform revenues so broadcasters and media organizations can compete better against new IT-based content providers

An IP technology infrastructure based on open standards provides broad-casters with maximum agility and flexibility to adjust business models cap-italize on new revenue opportunities and add new capabilities and services without having to constantly rebuild their workflows

The reason for common standards is obvious interoperable solutions based on widely accepted open standards have driven the industryrsquos growth and success for decades by accommodating broadcastersrsquo current needs and ensuring theyrsquore ready for future advancements As the industry did with SDI we must maintain this approach with IP ndash utilizing a single standardized interface for transmission of video to ensure that widespread signal transport interoperability continues

Fortunately the broadcast industry has a strong technical roadmap for IP that can deliver the same level of interoperability as SDI The 74-mem-ber Video Services Forum (VSF) with the support of organizations such as SMPTE and the EBU has developed a series of recommendations for achieving a standards-based approach to IP VSFrsquos approach has been tested validated and supported by more than 30 broadcast equipment suppliers and broadcasters who came together to find a solution that leads to true interoperability This thorough vetting process assures broadcasters that VSFrsquos system represents the best foundation for IP migration

Additionally as a founding member of the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) an independent trade association founded to ensure that all IP solutions brought to market offer complete interoperability Grass Valley is dedicated to open standards that will integrate seamlessly into current workflow environments The associationrsquos initial focus is on promoting the adoption standardization development and refinement of open protocols for media over IP These include support for SMPTE ST 2022-6 and AES67 as well as VSF recommendations TR-04 and TR-03

Broadcast Data CenterGrass Valleyrsquos Vision for the Broadcast Plant of the Future with a Non-proprietary Solution that Supports Vertically Accurate Switching

T he agility of IP is what makes it so appealing to broadcasters High data rates wide bandwidth and a system thatrsquos both format agnostic and scalable for whatever the future brings Some early IP solutions

for broadcast include IP switches with surrounding conversion equipment But just installing IP switches surrounded by SDIIP conversion equipment doesnrsquot take full advantage of what IP has to offer In fact using conversion equipment everywhere effectively eliminates the advantage of utilizing IP in the first place

What the broadcast and media industries need is a broadcast-centric IP plant designed with the cost savings and efficiency of todayrsquos IP network but with the mission-critical reliability extensibility functionality and familiar workflows of todayrsquos SDI broadcast world What you need is a Broadcast Data Center

Broadcasters Need the Advantages of an IT Data Centerhellip

A typical IT Data Center provides a number of key advantages mdash and itrsquos easy to see the benefits of emulating this type of infrastructure

SCALABILITY

Whether scaling up or down in an IT Data Center it is easy to add or stop services (using only what you need) as these services are primarily software applications running on distributed servers New services are efficiently added by installing a new instance or via the automatic spawning of a new process These new services are also easily killed when no longer needed This is significantly less expensive and more agile than buying a new dedicated piece of hardware every time another service is needed

LOAD BALANCE

As services are distributed across many servers the load on each server can be balanced This is important to keep things running optimally

COMMODITY HARDWARE

For the most part generic servers or switches like those in use in most IT data centers are less expensive and will continue to get more cost effective than purpose built hardware

FAULT TOLERANCE BACKUP AND REDUNDANCY

IT Data Centers are designed to be non-blocking There are often several different servers running the same process and the services can be distributed so that if one server fails it does not bring down the entire system and recovery is fast

hellipWhile Overcoming Their Weaknesses

Latency IP was built with a different model in mind than video IP is packet-based and with traditional data networks as packets are sent they may get to their destination via different paths at different times at different packet rates and out of order or they may get dropped completely While this may be fine for some applications such as handling email or sending a file with live video we donrsquot have the luxury of waiting a few seconds for a packet to arrive We need much higher precision in timing

Bandwidth Up until recently the high sustained bandwidth of video (especially with 4K and higher resolutions) could not be moved across IP infrastructure quickly or sustainably due to the size of the pipes and traffic management Now we have 10 GigE 25 GigE and 40 GigE with the quad version of 25 GigE namely 100 GigE on the horizon in switches which allows the timely passage of uncompressed video

Video Processing Broadcasters need to handle intensive computations needed for compression or signal processing something that the IT Data Center is ill-equipped to handle However today this processing can be placed on something as small as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) within the Broadcast Data Center In this way broadcasters operating in the IP domain can benefit from very powerful lightweight functions placed onto programmable single board media specific processors in essence replicating a blade server approach with less power requirements less weight and a smaller footprint

From a practical standpoint the best examples of the benefits of an IT Data Center are seen in the successful operations at Amazon Google and Netflix

bull Each can add new services or apps quickly

bull They are always there regardless of individual server failure using only the resources they need at any given time

bull Each has IT Data Centers with racks upon racks of seemingly identical servers with the cost benefit of buying in bulk mdash and the switches they use are fairly generic too mdash and as prices fall due to Moorersquos law the cost of these items will fall too

But as a broadcaster you need more than just future format-ready bandwidth and what generic IT Data Centers offer Our world mdash while based on the same digital ones and zeros mdash is a real-time processing and routing world where delays and switches outside of frame boundaries can be disruptive even devastating You require vertically accurate switching extremely low latency and most important the ability to process video the same way you do today in the SDI world All of which canrsquot be provided by an IT Data Center Thatrsquos why a Broadcast Data Center with its broadcast-centric design provides exactly what you need for your migration to IP production and infrastructure design

The Broadcast Data Center

From an overarching perspective Grass Valleyrsquos Glass-to-Glass IP Solution encompasses all production elements acquisition switching playout replay editing routing monitoring and distribution But itrsquos the elements of the Broadcast Data Center within that solution that makes it work by providing a broadcast-centric infrastructure capable of transporting and processing both IP and SDI signals while delivering the innate benefits of an IT Data Center to broadcasters

Within these solutions are the GV Convergent software defined networking (SDN) control system and the GV Node real time IP processing and routing platform Working together these two broadcast-centric platforms control IP and SDI (including MADI) signal transport transparently and accurately so that operational staff handle IP signals in exactly the same way they handle SDI signals mdash all with deterministic timing and the reliability that a signal will be where itrsquos needed at the exact time itrsquos needed without dropping frames or adding significant latency

Vertically Accurate SwitchingOne of the most important differentiators of the Broadcast Data Center to other proprietary and COTS IP switching solutions is its vertically accurate deterministic switching capability This functionality is critical because COTS IP switches are ineffective for some live applications due to their inability to perform switching in the vertical interval when used as a back-up to the production switcher Vertically accurate switching is also needed when a router is used for providing secondary live feeds

Vertically accurate switching is one area where GV Convergent and GV Node work hand-in-hand within the Broadcast Data Center especially for edge switching and video processing

GV Node performs the actual IP switching at the edge of the Broadcast Data Center fabric and enhances the capabilities of the ldquoTop of Rackrdquo switch usually deployed in a data center by providing video and metadata processing including a full-function Kaleido multiviewer GV Node also provides IO for connection with end devices (such as production switchers cameras and servers) in IP or for legacy compatibility in SDI or MADI Finally GV Node aggregates 1 Tbs of IP bandwidth via 12 40 Gbs IP connections to higher order aggregation layers of a Broadcast Data Center Because of these capabilities GV Node is the worldrsquos first product which allows broadcasters to reap the benefits of an IT Data Center topology without sacrificing the vertical accuracy and latency requirements of broadcast

GV Convergent controls the IP core and aggregation layers of the Broadcast Data Center architecture as well as any IP COTS switches and GV Node GV Convergent tells the different layers what to do and when to do it so the infrastructure looks like a standard SDI infrastructure System bandwidth is managed to prevent packet reordering and discarding

ldquoGlass-to-Glassrdquo Video-over-IP Solutions

Why go IPThe broadcast market is still heavily SDI-centric but there is growing momentum towards systems based on standardized video-over-IP (SMPTE ST 2022-6) So whatrsquos driving this transition to IP Agility

Leveraging the IT pace of innovation

A key factor behind the move to video-over-IP is that it enables broad-casters to leverage the economies of scale of the IT industry which offers fast developing switching capabilities rapid bandwidth growth and higher reliability

Moving to IP will ultimately allow a shift from dedicated broadcast hard-ware to virtualized and cloud-based infrastructures which offer even greater infrastructure flexibility and easier upgradability

Creating a Future-Ready format agnostic broadcast facility

Traditionally as video formats have advanced to offer higher resolution or more sophisticated audio they have required broadcasters to undertake significant infrastructure rebuilds with associated costs and potential dis-ruption However Ethernet (IP) is format agnostic and allows a transition to next generation formats mdash like 4K mdash without a major infrastructure change

Simplifying facility infrastructures with less cabling

With IP a higher number of signals can be carried on a single cable minimizing cabling For instance using traditional coax it would require 96 cables to deliver 12 bidirectional 4K signals In contrast this can be achieved with a single 40 GigE link which speeds installation reduces errors and also saves weight

Creating a more flexible more agile facility

Perhaps most importantly the move to video-over-IP allows broadcasters to transition to more scalable more agile facilities By moving to a distrib-uted IP switching model using a classical ldquospine and leafrdquo type architec-ture broadcasters can scale systems from small to very large systems in a highly linear manner In contrast a traditional routing model can involve making often difficult decisions about router sizes at the outset and big and costly steps in capacity as extra router frames are added

Additionally IP infrastructures are better suited to fast service launches and high network availability can improve access to content from any-where This can open up new multiplatform revenues so broadcasters and media organizations can compete better against new IT-based content providers

An IP technology infrastructure based on open standards provides broad-casters with maximum agility and flexibility to adjust business models cap-italize on new revenue opportunities and add new capabilities and services without having to constantly rebuild their workflows

The reason for common standards is obvious interoperable solutions based on widely accepted open standards have driven the industryrsquos growth and success for decades by accommodating broadcastersrsquo current needs and ensuring theyrsquore ready for future advancements As the industry did with SDI we must maintain this approach with IP ndash utilizing a single standardized interface for transmission of video to ensure that widespread signal transport interoperability continues

Fortunately the broadcast industry has a strong technical roadmap for IP that can deliver the same level of interoperability as SDI The 74-mem-ber Video Services Forum (VSF) with the support of organizations such as SMPTE and the EBU has developed a series of recommendations for achieving a standards-based approach to IP VSFrsquos approach has been tested validated and supported by more than 30 broadcast equipment suppliers and broadcasters who came together to find a solution that leads to true interoperability This thorough vetting process assures broadcasters that VSFrsquos system represents the best foundation for IP migration

Additionally as a founding member of the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) an independent trade association founded to ensure that all IP solutions brought to market offer complete interoperability Grass Valley is dedicated to open standards that will integrate seamlessly into current workflow environments The associationrsquos initial focus is on promoting the adoption standardization development and refinement of open protocols for media over IP These include support for SMPTE ST 2022-6 and AES67 as well as VSF recommendations TR-04 and TR-03

Broadcast Data CenterGrass Valleyrsquos Vision for the Broadcast Plant of the Future with a Non-proprietary Solution that Supports Vertically Accurate Switching

T he agility of IP is what makes it so appealing to broadcasters High data rates wide bandwidth and a system thatrsquos both format agnostic and scalable for whatever the future brings Some early IP solutions

for broadcast include IP switches with surrounding conversion equipment But just installing IP switches surrounded by SDIIP conversion equipment doesnrsquot take full advantage of what IP has to offer In fact using conversion equipment everywhere effectively eliminates the advantage of utilizing IP in the first place

What the broadcast and media industries need is a broadcast-centric IP plant designed with the cost savings and efficiency of todayrsquos IP network but with the mission-critical reliability extensibility functionality and familiar workflows of todayrsquos SDI broadcast world What you need is a Broadcast Data Center

Broadcasters Need the Advantages of an IT Data Centerhellip

A typical IT Data Center provides a number of key advantages mdash and itrsquos easy to see the benefits of emulating this type of infrastructure

SCALABILITY

Whether scaling up or down in an IT Data Center it is easy to add or stop services (using only what you need) as these services are primarily software applications running on distributed servers New services are efficiently added by installing a new instance or via the automatic spawning of a new process These new services are also easily killed when no longer needed This is significantly less expensive and more agile than buying a new dedicated piece of hardware every time another service is needed

LOAD BALANCE

As services are distributed across many servers the load on each server can be balanced This is important to keep things running optimally

COMMODITY HARDWARE

For the most part generic servers or switches like those in use in most IT data centers are less expensive and will continue to get more cost effective than purpose built hardware

FAULT TOLERANCE BACKUP AND REDUNDANCY

IT Data Centers are designed to be non-blocking There are often several different servers running the same process and the services can be distributed so that if one server fails it does not bring down the entire system and recovery is fast

hellipWhile Overcoming Their Weaknesses

Latency IP was built with a different model in mind than video IP is packet-based and with traditional data networks as packets are sent they may get to their destination via different paths at different times at different packet rates and out of order or they may get dropped completely While this may be fine for some applications such as handling email or sending a file with live video we donrsquot have the luxury of waiting a few seconds for a packet to arrive We need much higher precision in timing

Bandwidth Up until recently the high sustained bandwidth of video (especially with 4K and higher resolutions) could not be moved across IP infrastructure quickly or sustainably due to the size of the pipes and traffic management Now we have 10 GigE 25 GigE and 40 GigE with the quad version of 25 GigE namely 100 GigE on the horizon in switches which allows the timely passage of uncompressed video

Video Processing Broadcasters need to handle intensive computations needed for compression or signal processing something that the IT Data Center is ill-equipped to handle However today this processing can be placed on something as small as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) within the Broadcast Data Center In this way broadcasters operating in the IP domain can benefit from very powerful lightweight functions placed onto programmable single board media specific processors in essence replicating a blade server approach with less power requirements less weight and a smaller footprint

From a practical standpoint the best examples of the benefits of an IT Data Center are seen in the successful operations at Amazon Google and Netflix

bull Each can add new services or apps quickly

bull They are always there regardless of individual server failure using only the resources they need at any given time

bull Each has IT Data Centers with racks upon racks of seemingly identical servers with the cost benefit of buying in bulk mdash and the switches they use are fairly generic too mdash and as prices fall due to Moorersquos law the cost of these items will fall too

But as a broadcaster you need more than just future format-ready bandwidth and what generic IT Data Centers offer Our world mdash while based on the same digital ones and zeros mdash is a real-time processing and routing world where delays and switches outside of frame boundaries can be disruptive even devastating You require vertically accurate switching extremely low latency and most important the ability to process video the same way you do today in the SDI world All of which canrsquot be provided by an IT Data Center Thatrsquos why a Broadcast Data Center with its broadcast-centric design provides exactly what you need for your migration to IP production and infrastructure design

The Broadcast Data Center

From an overarching perspective Grass Valleyrsquos Glass-to-Glass IP Solution encompasses all production elements acquisition switching playout replay editing routing monitoring and distribution But itrsquos the elements of the Broadcast Data Center within that solution that makes it work by providing a broadcast-centric infrastructure capable of transporting and processing both IP and SDI signals while delivering the innate benefits of an IT Data Center to broadcasters

Within these solutions are the GV Convergent software defined networking (SDN) control system and the GV Node real time IP processing and routing platform Working together these two broadcast-centric platforms control IP and SDI (including MADI) signal transport transparently and accurately so that operational staff handle IP signals in exactly the same way they handle SDI signals mdash all with deterministic timing and the reliability that a signal will be where itrsquos needed at the exact time itrsquos needed without dropping frames or adding significant latency

Vertically Accurate SwitchingOne of the most important differentiators of the Broadcast Data Center to other proprietary and COTS IP switching solutions is its vertically accurate deterministic switching capability This functionality is critical because COTS IP switches are ineffective for some live applications due to their inability to perform switching in the vertical interval when used as a back-up to the production switcher Vertically accurate switching is also needed when a router is used for providing secondary live feeds

Vertically accurate switching is one area where GV Convergent and GV Node work hand-in-hand within the Broadcast Data Center especially for edge switching and video processing

GV Node performs the actual IP switching at the edge of the Broadcast Data Center fabric and enhances the capabilities of the ldquoTop of Rackrdquo switch usually deployed in a data center by providing video and metadata processing including a full-function Kaleido multiviewer GV Node also provides IO for connection with end devices (such as production switchers cameras and servers) in IP or for legacy compatibility in SDI or MADI Finally GV Node aggregates 1 Tbs of IP bandwidth via 12 40 Gbs IP connections to higher order aggregation layers of a Broadcast Data Center Because of these capabilities GV Node is the worldrsquos first product which allows broadcasters to reap the benefits of an IT Data Center topology without sacrificing the vertical accuracy and latency requirements of broadcast

GV Convergent controls the IP core and aggregation layers of the Broadcast Data Center architecture as well as any IP COTS switches and GV Node GV Convergent tells the different layers what to do and when to do it so the infrastructure looks like a standard SDI infrastructure System bandwidth is managed to prevent packet reordering and discarding

ldquoGlass-to-Glassrdquo Video-over-IP Solutions

Why go IPThe broadcast market is still heavily SDI-centric but there is growing momentum towards systems based on standardized video-over-IP (SMPTE ST 2022-6) So whatrsquos driving this transition to IP Agility

Leveraging the IT pace of innovation

A key factor behind the move to video-over-IP is that it enables broad-casters to leverage the economies of scale of the IT industry which offers fast developing switching capabilities rapid bandwidth growth and higher reliability

Moving to IP will ultimately allow a shift from dedicated broadcast hard-ware to virtualized and cloud-based infrastructures which offer even greater infrastructure flexibility and easier upgradability

Creating a Future-Ready format agnostic broadcast facility

Traditionally as video formats have advanced to offer higher resolution or more sophisticated audio they have required broadcasters to undertake significant infrastructure rebuilds with associated costs and potential dis-ruption However Ethernet (IP) is format agnostic and allows a transition to next generation formats mdash like 4K mdash without a major infrastructure change

Simplifying facility infrastructures with less cabling

With IP a higher number of signals can be carried on a single cable minimizing cabling For instance using traditional coax it would require 96 cables to deliver 12 bidirectional 4K signals In contrast this can be achieved with a single 40 GigE link which speeds installation reduces errors and also saves weight

Creating a more flexible more agile facility

Perhaps most importantly the move to video-over-IP allows broadcasters to transition to more scalable more agile facilities By moving to a distrib-uted IP switching model using a classical ldquospine and leafrdquo type architec-ture broadcasters can scale systems from small to very large systems in a highly linear manner In contrast a traditional routing model can involve making often difficult decisions about router sizes at the outset and big and costly steps in capacity as extra router frames are added

Additionally IP infrastructures are better suited to fast service launches and high network availability can improve access to content from any-where This can open up new multiplatform revenues so broadcasters and media organizations can compete better against new IT-based content providers

An IP technology infrastructure based on open standards provides broad-casters with maximum agility and flexibility to adjust business models cap-italize on new revenue opportunities and add new capabilities and services without having to constantly rebuild their workflows

The reason for common standards is obvious interoperable solutions based on widely accepted open standards have driven the industryrsquos growth and success for decades by accommodating broadcastersrsquo current needs and ensuring theyrsquore ready for future advancements As the industry did with SDI we must maintain this approach with IP ndash utilizing a single standardized interface for transmission of video to ensure that widespread signal transport interoperability continues

Fortunately the broadcast industry has a strong technical roadmap for IP that can deliver the same level of interoperability as SDI The 74-mem-ber Video Services Forum (VSF) with the support of organizations such as SMPTE and the EBU has developed a series of recommendations for achieving a standards-based approach to IP VSFrsquos approach has been tested validated and supported by more than 30 broadcast equipment suppliers and broadcasters who came together to find a solution that leads to true interoperability This thorough vetting process assures broadcasters that VSFrsquos system represents the best foundation for IP migration

Additionally as a founding member of the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) an independent trade association founded to ensure that all IP solutions brought to market offer complete interoperability Grass Valley is dedicated to open standards that will integrate seamlessly into current workflow environments The associationrsquos initial focus is on promoting the adoption standardization development and refinement of open protocols for media over IP These include support for SMPTE ST 2022-6 and AES67 as well as VSF recommendations TR-04 and TR-03

Broadcast Data CenterGrass Valleyrsquos Vision for the Broadcast Plant of the Future with a Non-proprietary Solution that Supports Vertically Accurate Switching

T he agility of IP is what makes it so appealing to broadcasters High data rates wide bandwidth and a system thatrsquos both format agnostic and scalable for whatever the future brings Some early IP solutions

for broadcast include IP switches with surrounding conversion equipment But just installing IP switches surrounded by SDIIP conversion equipment doesnrsquot take full advantage of what IP has to offer In fact using conversion equipment everywhere effectively eliminates the advantage of utilizing IP in the first place

What the broadcast and media industries need is a broadcast-centric IP plant designed with the cost savings and efficiency of todayrsquos IP network but with the mission-critical reliability extensibility functionality and familiar workflows of todayrsquos SDI broadcast world What you need is a Broadcast Data Center

Broadcasters Need the Advantages of an IT Data Centerhellip

A typical IT Data Center provides a number of key advantages mdash and itrsquos easy to see the benefits of emulating this type of infrastructure

SCALABILITY

Whether scaling up or down in an IT Data Center it is easy to add or stop services (using only what you need) as these services are primarily software applications running on distributed servers New services are efficiently added by installing a new instance or via the automatic spawning of a new process These new services are also easily killed when no longer needed This is significantly less expensive and more agile than buying a new dedicated piece of hardware every time another service is needed

LOAD BALANCE

As services are distributed across many servers the load on each server can be balanced This is important to keep things running optimally

COMMODITY HARDWARE

For the most part generic servers or switches like those in use in most IT data centers are less expensive and will continue to get more cost effective than purpose built hardware

FAULT TOLERANCE BACKUP AND REDUNDANCY

IT Data Centers are designed to be non-blocking There are often several different servers running the same process and the services can be distributed so that if one server fails it does not bring down the entire system and recovery is fast

wwwgrassvalleycom 12wwwgrassvalleycom 12

hellipWhile Overcoming Their Weaknesses

Latency IP was built with a different model in mind than video IP is packet-based and with traditional data networks as packets are sent they may get to their destination via different paths at different times at different packet rates and out of order or they may get dropped completely While this may be fine for some applications such as handling email or sending a file with live video we donrsquot have the luxury of waiting a few seconds for a packet to arrive We need much higher precision in timing

Bandwidth Up until recently the high sustained bandwidth of video (especially with 4K and higher resolutions) could not be moved across IP infrastructure quickly or sustainably due to the size of the pipes and traffic management Now we have 10 GigE 25 GigE and 40 GigE with the quad version of 25 GigE namely 100 GigE on the horizon in switches which allows the timely passage of uncompressed video

Video Processing Broadcasters need to handle intensive computations needed for compression or signal processing something that the IT Data Center is ill-equipped to handle However today this processing can be placed on something as small as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) within the Broadcast Data Center In this way broadcasters operating in the IP domain can benefit from very powerful lightweight functions placed onto programmable single board media specific processors in essence replicating a blade server approach with less power requirements less weight and a smaller footprint

From a practical standpoint the best examples of the benefits of an IT Data Center are seen in the successful operations at Amazon Google and Netflix

bull Each can add new services or apps quickly

bull They are always there regardless of individual server failure using only the resources they need at any given time

bull Each has IT Data Centers with racks upon racks of seemingly identical servers with the cost benefit of buying in bulk mdash and the switches they use are fairly generic too mdash and as prices fall due to Moorersquos law the cost of these items will fall too

But as a broadcaster you need more than just future format-ready bandwidth and what generic IT Data Centers offer Our world mdash while based on the same digital ones and zeros mdash is a real-time processing and routing world where delays and switches outside of frame boundaries can be disruptive even devastating You require vertically accurate switching extremely low latency and most important the ability to process video the same way you do today in the SDI world All of which canrsquot be provided by an IT Data Center Thatrsquos why a Broadcast Data Center with its broadcast-centric design provides exactly what you need for your migration to IP production and infrastructure design

The Broadcast Data Center

From an overarching perspective Grass Valleyrsquos Glass-to-Glass IP Solution encompasses all production elements acquisition switching playout replay editing routing monitoring and distribution But itrsquos the elements of the Broadcast Data Center within that solution that makes it work by providing a broadcast-centric infrastructure capable of transporting and processing both IP and SDI signals while delivering the innate benefits of an IT Data Center to broadcasters

Within these solutions are the GV Convergent software defined networking (SDN) control system and the GV Node real time IP processing and routing platform Working together these two broadcast-centric platforms control IP and SDI (including MADI) signal transport transparently and accurately so that operational staff handle IP signals in exactly the same way they handle SDI signals mdash all with deterministic timing and the reliability that a signal will be where itrsquos needed at the exact time itrsquos needed without dropping frames or adding significant latency

Vertically Accurate SwitchingOne of the most important differentiators of the Broadcast Data Center to other proprietary and COTS IP switching solutions is its vertically accurate deterministic switching capability This functionality is critical because COTS IP switches are ineffective for some live applications due to their inability to perform switching in the vertical interval when used as a back-up to the production switcher Vertically accurate switching is also needed when a router is used for providing secondary live feeds

Vertically accurate switching is one area where GV Convergent and GV Node work hand-in-hand within the Broadcast Data Center especially for edge switching and video processing

GV Node performs the actual IP switching at the edge of the Broadcast Data Center fabric and enhances the capabilities of the ldquoTop of Rackrdquo switch usually deployed in a data center by providing video and metadata processing including a full-function Kaleido multiviewer GV Node also provides IO for connection with end devices (such as production switchers cameras and servers) in IP or for legacy compatibility in SDI or MADI Finally GV Node aggregates 1 Tbs of IP bandwidth via 12 40 Gbs IP connections to higher order aggregation layers of a Broadcast Data Center Because of these capabilities GV Node is the worldrsquos first product which allows broadcasters to reap the benefits of an IT Data Center topology without sacrificing the vertical accuracy and latency requirements of broadcast

GV Convergent controls the IP core and aggregation layers of the Broadcast Data Center architecture as well as any IP COTS switches and GV Node GV Convergent tells the different layers what to do and when to do it so the infrastructure looks like a standard SDI infrastructure System bandwidth is managed to prevent packet reordering and discarding

Broadcast Data CenterGrass Valleyrsquos Vision for the Broadcast Plant of the Future with a Non-proprietary Solution that Supports Vertically Accurate Switching

T he agility of IP is what makes it so appealing to broadcasters High data rates wide bandwidth and a system thatrsquos both format agnostic and scalable for whatever the future brings Some early IP solutions

for broadcast include IP switches with surrounding conversion equipment But just installing IP switches surrounded by SDIIP conversion equipment doesnrsquot take full advantage of what IP has to offer In fact using conversion equipment everywhere effectively eliminates the advantage of utilizing IP in the first place

What the broadcast and media industries need is a broadcast-centric IP plant designed with the cost savings and efficiency of todayrsquos IP network but with the mission-critical reliability extensibility functionality and familiar workflows of todayrsquos SDI broadcast world What you need is a Broadcast Data Center

Broadcasters Need the Advantages of an IT Data Centerhellip

A typical IT Data Center provides a number of key advantages mdash and itrsquos easy to see the benefits of emulating this type of infrastructure

SCALABILITY

Whether scaling up or down in an IT Data Center it is easy to add or stop services (using only what you need) as these services are primarily software applications running on distributed servers New services are efficiently added by installing a new instance or via the automatic spawning of a new process These new services are also easily killed when no longer needed This is significantly less expensive and more agile than buying a new dedicated piece of hardware every time another service is needed

LOAD BALANCE

As services are distributed across many servers the load on each server can be balanced This is important to keep things running optimally

COMMODITY HARDWARE

For the most part generic servers or switches like those in use in most IT data centers are less expensive and will continue to get more cost effective than purpose built hardware

FAULT TOLERANCE BACKUP AND REDUNDANCY

IT Data Centers are designed to be non-blocking There are often several different servers running the same process and the services can be distributed so that if one server fails it does not bring down the entire system and recovery is fast

wwwgrassvalleycom 12wwwgrassvalleycom 12

hellipWhile Overcoming Their Weaknesses

Latency IP was built with a different model in mind than video IP is packet-based and with traditional data networks as packets are sent they may get to their destination via different paths at different times at different packet rates and out of order or they may get dropped completely While this may be fine for some applications such as handling email or sending a file with live video we donrsquot have the luxury of waiting a few seconds for a packet to arrive We need much higher precision in timing

Bandwidth Up until recently the high sustained bandwidth of video (especially with 4K and higher resolutions) could not be moved across IP infrastructure quickly or sustainably due to the size of the pipes and traffic management Now we have 10 GigE 25 GigE and 40 GigE with the quad version of 25 GigE namely 100 GigE on the horizon in switches which allows the timely passage of uncompressed video

Video Processing Broadcasters need to handle intensive computations needed for compression or signal processing something that the IT Data Center is ill-equipped to handle However today this processing can be placed on something as small as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) within the Broadcast Data Center In this way broadcasters operating in the IP domain can benefit from very powerful lightweight functions placed onto programmable single board media specific processors in essence replicating a blade server approach with less power requirements less weight and a smaller footprint

From a practical standpoint the best examples of the benefits of an IT Data Center are seen in the successful operations at Amazon Google and Netflix

bull Each can add new services or apps quickly

bull They are always there regardless of individual server failure using only the resources they need at any given time

bull Each has IT Data Centers with racks upon racks of seemingly identical servers with the cost benefit of buying in bulk mdash and the switches they use are fairly generic too mdash and as prices fall due to Moorersquos law the cost of these items will fall too

But as a broadcaster you need more than just future format-ready bandwidth and what generic IT Data Centers offer Our world mdash while based on the same digital ones and zeros mdash is a real-time processing and routing world where delays and switches outside of frame boundaries can be disruptive even devastating You require vertically accurate switching extremely low latency and most important the ability to process video the same way you do today in the SDI world All of which canrsquot be provided by an IT Data Center Thatrsquos why a Broadcast Data Center with its broadcast-centric design provides exactly what you need for your migration to IP production and infrastructure design

The Broadcast Data Center

From an overarching perspective Grass Valleyrsquos Glass-to-Glass IP Solution encompasses all production elements acquisition switching playout replay editing routing monitoring and distribution But itrsquos the elements of the Broadcast Data Center within that solution that makes it work by providing a broadcast-centric infrastructure capable of transporting and processing both IP and SDI signals while delivering the innate benefits of an IT Data Center to broadcasters

Within these solutions are the GV Convergent software defined networking (SDN) control system and the GV Node real time IP processing and routing platform Working together these two broadcast-centric platforms control IP and SDI (including MADI) signal transport transparently and accurately so that operational staff handle IP signals in exactly the same way they handle SDI signals mdash all with deterministic timing and the reliability that a signal will be where itrsquos needed at the exact time itrsquos needed without dropping frames or adding significant latency

Vertically Accurate SwitchingOne of the most important differentiators of the Broadcast Data Center to other proprietary and COTS IP switching solutions is its vertically accurate deterministic switching capability This functionality is critical because COTS IP switches are ineffective for some live applications due to their inability to perform switching in the vertical interval when used as a back-up to the production switcher Vertically accurate switching is also needed when a router is used for providing secondary live feeds

Vertically accurate switching is one area where GV Convergent and GV Node work hand-in-hand within the Broadcast Data Center especially for edge switching and video processing

GV Node performs the actual IP switching at the edge of the Broadcast Data Center fabric and enhances the capabilities of the ldquoTop of Rackrdquo switch usually deployed in a data center by providing video and metadata processing including a full-function Kaleido multiviewer GV Node also provides IO for connection with end devices (such as production switchers cameras and servers) in IP or for legacy compatibility in SDI or MADI Finally GV Node aggregates 1 Tbs of IP bandwidth via 12 40 Gbs IP connections to higher order aggregation layers of a Broadcast Data Center Because of these capabilities GV Node is the worldrsquos first product which allows broadcasters to reap the benefits of an IT Data Center topology without sacrificing the vertical accuracy and latency requirements of broadcast

GV Convergent controls the IP core and aggregation layers of the Broadcast Data Center architecture as well as any IP COTS switches and GV Node GV Convergent tells the different layers what to do and when to do it so the infrastructure looks like a standard SDI infrastructure System bandwidth is managed to prevent packet reordering and discarding

Broadcast Data CenterGrass Valleyrsquos Vision for the Broadcast Plant of the Future with a Non-proprietary Solution that Supports Vertically Accurate Switching

T he agility of IP is what makes it so appealing to broadcasters High data rates wide bandwidth and a system thatrsquos both format agnostic and scalable for whatever the future brings Some early IP solutions

for broadcast include IP switches with surrounding conversion equipment But just installing IP switches surrounded by SDIIP conversion equipment doesnrsquot take full advantage of what IP has to offer In fact using conversion equipment everywhere effectively eliminates the advantage of utilizing IP in the first place

What the broadcast and media industries need is a broadcast-centric IP plant designed with the cost savings and efficiency of todayrsquos IP network but with the mission-critical reliability extensibility functionality and familiar workflows of todayrsquos SDI broadcast world What you need is a Broadcast Data Center

Broadcasters Need the Advantages of an IT Data Centerhellip

A typical IT Data Center provides a number of key advantages mdash and itrsquos easy to see the benefits of emulating this type of infrastructure

SCALABILITY

Whether scaling up or down in an IT Data Center it is easy to add or stop services (using only what you need) as these services are primarily software applications running on distributed servers New services are efficiently added by installing a new instance or via the automatic spawning of a new process These new services are also easily killed when no longer needed This is significantly less expensive and more agile than buying a new dedicated piece of hardware every time another service is needed

LOAD BALANCE

As services are distributed across many servers the load on each server can be balanced This is important to keep things running optimally

COMMODITY HARDWARE

For the most part generic servers or switches like those in use in most IT data centers are less expensive and will continue to get more cost effective than purpose built hardware

FAULT TOLERANCE BACKUP AND REDUNDANCY

IT Data Centers are designed to be non-blocking There are often several different servers running the same process and the services can be distributed so that if one server fails it does not bring down the entire system and recovery is fast

hellipWhile Overcoming Their Weaknesses

Latency IP was built with a different model in mind than video IP is packet-based and with traditional data networks as packets are sent they may get to their destination via different paths at different times at different packet rates and out of order or they may get dropped completely While this may be fine for some applications such as handling email or sending a file with live video we donrsquot have the luxury of waiting a few seconds for a packet to arrive We need much higher precision in timing

Bandwidth Up until recently the high sustained bandwidth of video (especially with 4K and higher resolutions) could not be moved across IP infrastructure quickly or sustainably due to the size of the pipes and traffic management Now we have 10 GigE 25 GigE and 40 GigE with the quad version of 25 GigE namely 100 GigE on the horizon in switches which allows the timely passage of uncompressed video

Video Processing Broadcasters need to handle intensive computations needed for compression or signal processing something that the IT Data Center is ill-equipped to handle However today this processing can be placed on something as small as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) within the Broadcast Data Center In this way broadcasters operating in the IP domain can benefit from very powerful lightweight functions placed onto programmable single board media specific processors in essence replicating a blade server approach with less power requirements less weight and a smaller footprint

From a practical standpoint the best examples of the benefits of an IT Data Center are seen in the successful operations at Amazon Google and Netflix

bull Each can add new services or apps quickly

bull They are always there regardless of individual server failure using only the resources they need at any given time

bull Each has IT Data Centers with racks upon racks of seemingly identical servers with the cost benefit of buying in bulk mdash and the switches they use are fairly generic too mdash and as prices fall due to Moorersquos law the cost of these items will fall too

But as a broadcaster you need more than just future format-ready bandwidth and what generic IT Data Centers offer Our world mdash while based on the same digital ones and zeros mdash is a real-time processing and routing world where delays and switches outside of frame boundaries can be disruptive even devastating You require vertically accurate switching extremely low latency and most important the ability to process video the same way you do today in the SDI world All of which canrsquot be provided by an IT Data Center Thatrsquos why a Broadcast Data Center with its broadcast-centric design provides exactly what you need for your migration to IP production and infrastructure design

ldquoGlass-to-Glassrdquo Video-over-IP Solutions

The Broadcast Data Center

From an overarching perspective Grass Valleyrsquos Glass-to-Glass IP Solution encompasses all production elements acquisition switching playout replay editing routing monitoring and distribution But itrsquos the elements of the Broadcast Data Center within that solution that makes it work by providing a broadcast-centric infrastructure capable of transporting and processing both IP and SDI signals while delivering the innate benefits of an IT Data Center to broadcasters

Within these solutions are the GV Convergent software defined networking (SDN) control system and the GV Node real time IP processing and routing platform Working together these two broadcast-centric platforms control IP and SDI (including MADI) signal transport transparently and accurately so that operational staff handle IP signals in exactly the same way they handle SDI signals mdash all with deterministic timing and the reliability that a signal will be where itrsquos needed at the exact time itrsquos needed without dropping frames or adding significant latency

Vertically Accurate SwitchingOne of the most important differentiators of the Broadcast Data Center to other proprietary and COTS IP switching solutions is its vertically accurate deterministic switching capability This functionality is critical because COTS IP switches are ineffective for some live applications due to their inability to perform switching in the vertical interval when used as a back-up to the production switcher Vertically accurate switching is also needed when a router is used for providing secondary live feeds

Vertically accurate switching is one area where GV Convergent and GV Node work hand-in-hand within the Broadcast Data Center especially for edge switching and video processing

GV Node performs the actual IP switching at the edge of the Broadcast Data Center fabric and enhances the capabilities of the ldquoTop of Rackrdquo switch usually deployed in a data center by providing video and metadata processing including a full-function Kaleido multiviewer GV Node also provides IO for connection with end devices (such as production switchers cameras and servers) in IP or for legacy compatibility in SDI or MADI Finally GV Node aggregates 1 Tbs of IP bandwidth via 12 40 Gbs IP connections to higher order aggregation layers of a Broadcast Data Center Because of these capabilities GV Node is the worldrsquos first product which allows broadcasters to reap the benefits of an IT Data Center topology without sacrificing the vertical accuracy and latency requirements of broadcast

GV Convergent controls the IP core and aggregation layers of the Broadcast Data Center architecture as well as any IP COTS switches and GV Node GV Convergent tells the different layers what to do and when to do it so the infrastructure looks like a standard SDI infrastructure System bandwidth is managed to prevent packet reordering and discarding

Broadcast Data CenterGrass Valleyrsquos Vision for the Broadcast Plant of the Future with a Non-proprietary Solution that Supports Vertically Accurate Switching

T he agility of IP is what makes it so appealing to broadcasters High data rates wide bandwidth and a system thatrsquos both format agnostic and scalable for whatever the future brings Some early IP solutions

for broadcast include IP switches with surrounding conversion equipment But just installing IP switches surrounded by SDIIP conversion equipment doesnrsquot take full advantage of what IP has to offer In fact using conversion equipment everywhere effectively eliminates the advantage of utilizing IP in the first place

What the broadcast and media industries need is a broadcast-centric IP plant designed with the cost savings and efficiency of todayrsquos IP network but with the mission-critical reliability extensibility functionality and familiar workflows of todayrsquos SDI broadcast world What you need is a Broadcast Data Center

Broadcasters Need the Advantages of an IT Data Centerhellip

A typical IT Data Center provides a number of key advantages mdash and itrsquos easy to see the benefits of emulating this type of infrastructure

SCALABILITY

Whether scaling up or down in an IT Data Center it is easy to add or stop services (using only what you need) as these services are primarily software applications running on distributed servers New services are efficiently added by installing a new instance or via the automatic spawning of a new process These new services are also easily killed when no longer needed This is significantly less expensive and more agile than buying a new dedicated piece of hardware every time another service is needed

LOAD BALANCE

As services are distributed across many servers the load on each server can be balanced This is important to keep things running optimally

COMMODITY HARDWARE

For the most part generic servers or switches like those in use in most IT data centers are less expensive and will continue to get more cost effective than purpose built hardware

FAULT TOLERANCE BACKUP AND REDUNDANCY

IT Data Centers are designed to be non-blocking There are often several different servers running the same process and the services can be distributed so that if one server fails it does not bring down the entire system and recovery is fast

wwwgrassvalleycom 12wwwgrassvalleycom 12

hellipWhile Overcoming Their Weaknesses

Latency IP was built with a different model in mind than video IP is packet-based and with traditional data networks as packets are sent they may get to their destination via different paths at different times at different packet rates and out of order or they may get dropped completely While this may be fine for some applications such as handling email or sending a file with live video we donrsquot have the luxury of waiting a few seconds for a packet to arrive We need much higher precision in timing

Bandwidth Up until recently the high sustained bandwidth of video (especially with 4K and higher resolutions) could not be moved across IP infrastructure quickly or sustainably due to the size of the pipes and traffic management Now we have 10 GigE 25 GigE and 40 GigE with the quad version of 25 GigE namely 100 GigE on the horizon in switches which allows the timely passage of uncompressed video

Video Processing Broadcasters need to handle intensive computations needed for compression or signal processing something that the IT Data Center is ill-equipped to handle However today this processing can be placed on something as small as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) within the Broadcast Data Center In this way broadcasters operating in the IP domain can benefit from very powerful lightweight functions placed onto programmable single board media specific processors in essence replicating a blade server approach with less power requirements less weight and a smaller footprint

From a practical standpoint the best examples of the benefits of an IT Data Center are seen in the successful operations at Amazon Google and Netflix

bull Each can add new services or apps quickly

bull They are always there regardless of individual server failure using only the resources they need at any given time

bull Each has IT Data Centers with racks upon racks of seemingly identical servers with the cost benefit of buying in bulk mdash and the switches they use are fairly generic too mdash and as prices fall due to Moorersquos law the cost of these items will fall too

But as a broadcaster you need more than just future format-ready bandwidth and what generic IT Data Centers offer Our world mdash while based on the same digital ones and zeros mdash is a real-time processing and routing world where delays and switches outside of frame boundaries can be disruptive even devastating You require vertically accurate switching extremely low latency and most important the ability to process video the same way you do today in the SDI world All of which canrsquot be provided by an IT Data Center Thatrsquos why a Broadcast Data Center with its broadcast-centric design provides exactly what you need for your migration to IP production and infrastructure design

The Broadcast Data Center

From an overarching perspective Grass Valleyrsquos Glass-to-Glass IP Solution encompasses all production elements acquisition switching playout replay editing routing monitoring and distribution But itrsquos the elements of the Broadcast Data Center within that solution that makes it work by providing a broadcast-centric infrastructure capable of transporting and processing both IP and SDI signals while delivering the innate benefits of an IT Data Center to broadcasters

Within these solutions are the GV Convergent software defined networking (SDN) control system and the GV Node real time IP processing and routing platform Working together these two broadcast-centric platforms control IP and SDI (including MADI) signal transport transparently and accurately so that operational staff handle IP signals in exactly the same way they handle SDI signals mdash all with deterministic timing and the reliability that a signal will be where itrsquos needed at the exact time itrsquos needed without dropping frames or adding significant latency

Vertically Accurate SwitchingOne of the most important differentiators of the Broadcast Data Center to other proprietary and COTS IP switching solutions is its vertically accurate deterministic switching capability This functionality is critical because COTS IP switches are ineffective for some live applications due to their inability to perform switching in the vertical interval when used as a back-up to the production switcher Vertically accurate switching is also needed when a router is used for providing secondary live feeds

Vertically accurate switching is one area where GV Convergent and GV Node work hand-in-hand within the Broadcast Data Center especially for edge switching and video processing

GV Node performs the actual IP switching at the edge of the Broadcast Data Center fabric and enhances the capabilities of the ldquoTop of Rackrdquo switch usually deployed in a data center by providing video and metadata processing including a full-function Kaleido multiviewer GV Node also provides IO for connection with end devices (such as production switchers cameras and servers) in IP or for legacy compatibility in SDI or MADI Finally GV Node aggregates 1 Tbs of IP bandwidth via 12 40 Gbs IP connections to higher order aggregation layers of a Broadcast Data Center Because of these capabilities GV Node is the worldrsquos first product which allows broadcasters to reap the benefits of an IT Data Center topology without sacrificing the vertical accuracy and latency requirements of broadcast

GV Convergent controls the IP core and aggregation layers of the Broadcast Data Center architecture as well as any IP COTS switches and GV Node GV Convergent tells the different layers what to do and when to do it so the infrastructure looks like a standard SDI infrastructure System bandwidth is managed to prevent packet reordering and discarding

Broadcast Data CenterGrass Valleyrsquos Vision for the Broadcast Plant of the Future with a Non-proprietary Solution that Supports Vertically Accurate Switching

T he agility of IP is what makes it so appealing to broadcasters High data rates wide bandwidth and a system thatrsquos both format agnostic and scalable for whatever the future brings Some early IP solutions

for broadcast include IP switches with surrounding conversion equipment But just installing IP switches surrounded by SDIIP conversion equipment doesnrsquot take full advantage of what IP has to offer In fact using conversion equipment everywhere effectively eliminates the advantage of utilizing IP in the first place

What the broadcast and media industries need is a broadcast-centric IP plant designed with the cost savings and efficiency of todayrsquos IP network but with the mission-critical reliability extensibility functionality and familiar workflows of todayrsquos SDI broadcast world What you need is a Broadcast Data Center

Broadcasters Need the Advantages of an IT Data Centerhellip

A typical IT Data Center provides a number of key advantages mdash and itrsquos easy to see the benefits of emulating this type of infrastructure

SCALABILITY

Whether scaling up or down in an IT Data Center it is easy to add or stop services (using only what you need) as these services are primarily software applications running on distributed servers New services are efficiently added by installing a new instance or via the automatic spawning of a new process These new services are also easily killed when no longer needed This is significantly less expensive and more agile than buying a new dedicated piece of hardware every time another service is needed

LOAD BALANCE

As services are distributed across many servers the load on each server can be balanced This is important to keep things running optimally

COMMODITY HARDWARE

For the most part generic servers or switches like those in use in most IT data centers are less expensive and will continue to get more cost effective than purpose built hardware

FAULT TOLERANCE BACKUP AND REDUNDANCY

IT Data Centers are designed to be non-blocking There are often several different servers running the same process and the services can be distributed so that if one server fails it does not bring down the entire system and recovery is fast

hellipWhile Overcoming Their Weaknesses

Latency IP was built with a different model in mind than video IP is packet-based and with traditional data networks as packets are sent they may get to their destination via different paths at different times at different packet rates and out of order or they may get dropped completely While this may be fine for some applications such as handling email or sending a file with live video we donrsquot have the luxury of waiting a few seconds for a packet to arrive We need much higher precision in timing

Bandwidth Up until recently the high sustained bandwidth of video (especially with 4K and higher resolutions) could not be moved across IP infrastructure quickly or sustainably due to the size of the pipes and traffic management Now we have 10 GigE 25 GigE and 40 GigE with the quad version of 25 GigE namely 100 GigE on the horizon in switches which allows the timely passage of uncompressed video

Video Processing Broadcasters need to handle intensive computations needed for compression or signal processing something that the IT Data Center is ill-equipped to handle However today this processing can be placed on something as small as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) within the Broadcast Data Center In this way broadcasters operating in the IP domain can benefit from very powerful lightweight functions placed onto programmable single board media specific processors in essence replicating a blade server approach with less power requirements less weight and a smaller footprint

From a practical standpoint the best examples of the benefits of an IT Data Center are seen in the successful operations at Amazon Google and Netflix

bull Each can add new services or apps quickly

bull They are always there regardless of individual server failure using only the resources they need at any given time

bull Each has IT Data Centers with racks upon racks of seemingly identical servers with the cost benefit of buying in bulk mdash and the switches they use are fairly generic too mdash and as prices fall due to Moorersquos law the cost of these items will fall too

But as a broadcaster you need more than just future format-ready bandwidth and what generic IT Data Centers offer Our world mdash while based on the same digital ones and zeros mdash is a real-time processing and routing world where delays and switches outside of frame boundaries can be disruptive even devastating You require vertically accurate switching extremely low latency and most important the ability to process video the same way you do today in the SDI world All of which canrsquot be provided by an IT Data Center Thatrsquos why a Broadcast Data Center with its broadcast-centric design provides exactly what you need for your migration to IP production and infrastructure design

ldquoGlass-to-Glassrdquo Video-over-IP Solutions

The Broadcast Data Center

From an overarching perspective Grass Valleyrsquos Glass-to-Glass IP Solution encompasses all production elements acquisition switching playout replay editing routing monitoring and distribution But itrsquos the elements of the Broadcast Data Center within that solution that makes it work by providing a broadcast-centric infrastructure capable of transporting and processing both IP and SDI signals while delivering the innate benefits of an IT Data Center to broadcasters

Within these solutions are the GV Convergent software defined networking (SDN) control system and the GV Node real time IP processing and routing platform Working together these two broadcast-centric platforms control IP and SDI (including MADI) signal transport transparently and accurately so that operational staff handle IP signals in exactly the same way they handle SDI signals mdash all with deterministic timing and the reliability that a signal will be where itrsquos needed at the exact time itrsquos needed without dropping frames or adding significant latency

Vertically Accurate SwitchingOne of the most important differentiators of the Broadcast Data Center to other proprietary and COTS IP switching solutions is its vertically accurate deterministic switching capability This functionality is critical because COTS IP switches are ineffective for some live applications due to their inability to perform switching in the vertical interval when used as a back-up to the production switcher Vertically accurate switching is also needed when a router is used for providing secondary live feeds

Vertically accurate switching is one area where GV Convergent and GV Node work hand-in-hand within the Broadcast Data Center especially for edge switching and video processing

GV Node performs the actual IP switching at the edge of the Broadcast Data Center fabric and enhances the capabilities of the ldquoTop of Rackrdquo switch usually deployed in a data center by providing video and metadata processing including a full-function Kaleido multiviewer GV Node also provides IO for connection with end devices (such as production switchers cameras and servers) in IP or for legacy compatibility in SDI or MADI Finally GV Node aggregates 1 Tbs of IP bandwidth via 12 40 Gbs IP connections to higher order aggregation layers of a Broadcast Data Center Because of these capabilities GV Node is the worldrsquos first product which allows broadcasters to reap the benefits of an IT Data Center topology without sacrificing the vertical accuracy and latency requirements of broadcast

GV Convergent controls the IP core and aggregation layers of the Broadcast Data Center architecture as well as any IP COTS switches and GV Node GV Convergent tells the different layers what to do and when to do it so the infrastructure looks like a standard SDI infrastructure System bandwidth is managed to prevent packet reordering and discarding

Broadcast Data CenterGrass Valleyrsquos Vision for the Broadcast Plant of the Future with a Non-proprietary Solution that Supports Vertically Accurate Switching

T he agility of IP is what makes it so appealing to broadcasters High data rates wide bandwidth and a system thatrsquos both format agnostic and scalable for whatever the future brings Some early IP solutions

for broadcast include IP switches with surrounding conversion equipment But just installing IP switches surrounded by SDIIP conversion equipment doesnrsquot take full advantage of what IP has to offer In fact using conversion equipment everywhere effectively eliminates the advantage of utilizing IP in the first place

What the broadcast and media industries need is a broadcast-centric IP plant designed with the cost savings and efficiency of todayrsquos IP network but with the mission-critical reliability extensibility functionality and familiar workflows of todayrsquos SDI broadcast world What you need is a Broadcast Data Center

Broadcasters Need the Advantages of an IT Data Centerhellip

A typical IT Data Center provides a number of key advantages mdash and itrsquos easy to see the benefits of emulating this type of infrastructure

SCALABILITY

Whether scaling up or down in an IT Data Center it is easy to add or stop services (using only what you need) as these services are primarily software applications running on distributed servers New services are efficiently added by installing a new instance or via the automatic spawning of a new process These new services are also easily killed when no longer needed This is significantly less expensive and more agile than buying a new dedicated piece of hardware every time another service is needed

LOAD BALANCE

As services are distributed across many servers the load on each server can be balanced This is important to keep things running optimally

COMMODITY HARDWARE

For the most part generic servers or switches like those in use in most IT data centers are less expensive and will continue to get more cost effective than purpose built hardware

FAULT TOLERANCE BACKUP AND REDUNDANCY

IT Data Centers are designed to be non-blocking There are often several different servers running the same process and the services can be distributed so that if one server fails it does not bring down the entire system and recovery is fast

wwwgrassvalleycom 12wwwgrassvalleycom 12

hellipWhile Overcoming Their Weaknesses

Latency IP was built with a different model in mind than video IP is packet-based and with traditional data networks as packets are sent they may get to their destination via different paths at different times at different packet rates and out of order or they may get dropped completely While this may be fine for some applications such as handling email or sending a file with live video we donrsquot have the luxury of waiting a few seconds for a packet to arrive We need much higher precision in timing

Bandwidth Up until recently the high sustained bandwidth of video (especially with 4K and higher resolutions) could not be moved across IP infrastructure quickly or sustainably due to the size of the pipes and traffic management Now we have 10 GigE 25 GigE and 40 GigE with the quad version of 25 GigE namely 100 GigE on the horizon in switches which allows the timely passage of uncompressed video

Video Processing Broadcasters need to handle intensive computations needed for compression or signal processing something that the IT Data Center is ill-equipped to handle However today this processing can be placed on something as small as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) within the Broadcast Data Center In this way broadcasters operating in the IP domain can benefit from very powerful lightweight functions placed onto programmable single board media specific processors in essence replicating a blade server approach with less power requirements less weight and a smaller footprint

From a practical standpoint the best examples of the benefits of an IT Data Center are seen in the successful operations at Amazon Google and Netflix

bull Each can add new services or apps quickly

bull They are always there regardless of individual server failure using only the resources they need at any given time

bull Each has IT Data Centers with racks upon racks of seemingly identical servers with the cost benefit of buying in bulk mdash and the switches they use are fairly generic too mdash and as prices fall due to Moorersquos law the cost of these items will fall too

But as a broadcaster you need more than just future format-ready bandwidth and what generic IT Data Centers offer Our world mdash while based on the same digital ones and zeros mdash is a real-time processing and routing world where delays and switches outside of frame boundaries can be disruptive even devastating You require vertically accurate switching extremely low latency and most important the ability to process video the same way you do today in the SDI world All of which canrsquot be provided by an IT Data Center Thatrsquos why a Broadcast Data Center with its broadcast-centric design provides exactly what you need for your migration to IP production and infrastructure design

ldquoGlass-to-Glassrdquo Video-over-IP Solutions

The Broadcast Data Center

From an overarching perspective Grass Valleyrsquos Glass-to-Glass IP Solution encompasses all production elements acquisition switching playout replay editing routing monitoring and distribution But itrsquos the elements of the Broadcast Data Center within that solution that makes it work by providing a broadcast-centric infrastructure capable of transporting and processing both IP and SDI signals while delivering the innate benefits of an IT Data Center to broadcasters

Within these solutions are the GV Convergent software defined networking (SDN) control system and the GV Node real time IP processing and routing platform Working together these two broadcast-centric platforms control IP and SDI (including MADI) signal transport transparently and accurately so that operational staff handle IP signals in exactly the same way they handle SDI signals mdash all with deterministic timing and the reliability that a signal will be where itrsquos needed at the exact time itrsquos needed without dropping frames or adding significant latency

Vertically Accurate SwitchingOne of the most important differentiators of the Broadcast Data Center to other proprietary and COTS IP switching solutions is its vertically accurate deterministic switching capability This functionality is critical because COTS IP switches are ineffective for some live applications due to their inability to perform switching in the vertical interval when used as a back-up to the production switcher Vertically accurate switching is also needed when a router is used for providing secondary live feeds

Vertically accurate switching is one area where GV Convergent and GV Node work hand-in-hand within the Broadcast Data Center especially for edge switching and video processing

GV Node performs the actual IP switching at the edge of the Broadcast Data Center fabric and enhances the capabilities of the ldquoTop of Rackrdquo switch usually deployed in a data center by providing video and metadata processing including a full-function Kaleido multiviewer GV Node also provides IO for connection with end devices (such as production switchers cameras and servers) in IP or for legacy compatibility in SDI or MADI Finally GV Node aggregates 1 Tbs of IP bandwidth via 12 40 Gbs IP connections to higher order aggregation layers of a Broadcast Data Center Because of these capabilities GV Node is the worldrsquos first product which allows broadcasters to reap the benefits of an IT Data Center topology without sacrificing the vertical accuracy and latency requirements of broadcast

GV Convergent controls the IP core and aggregation layers of the Broadcast Data Center architecture as well as any IP COTS switches and GV Node GV Convergent tells the different layers what to do and when to do it so the infrastructure looks like a standard SDI infrastructure System bandwidth is managed to prevent packet reordering and discarding

Broadcast Data CenterGrass Valleyrsquos Vision for the Broadcast Plant of the Future with a Non-proprietary Solution that Supports Vertically Accurate Switching

T he agility of IP is what makes it so appealing to broadcasters High data rates wide bandwidth and a system thatrsquos both format agnostic and scalable for whatever the future brings Some early IP solutions

for broadcast include IP switches with surrounding conversion equipment But just installing IP switches surrounded by SDIIP conversion equipment doesnrsquot take full advantage of what IP has to offer In fact using conversion equipment everywhere effectively eliminates the advantage of utilizing IP in the first place

What the broadcast and media industries need is a broadcast-centric IP plant designed with the cost savings and efficiency of todayrsquos IP network but with the mission-critical reliability extensibility functionality and familiar workflows of todayrsquos SDI broadcast world What you need is a Broadcast Data Center

Broadcasters Need the Advantages of an IT Data Centerhellip

A typical IT Data Center provides a number of key advantages mdash and itrsquos easy to see the benefits of emulating this type of infrastructure

SCALABILITY

Whether scaling up or down in an IT Data Center it is easy to add or stop services (using only what you need) as these services are primarily software applications running on distributed servers New services are efficiently added by installing a new instance or via the automatic spawning of a new process These new services are also easily killed when no longer needed This is significantly less expensive and more agile than buying a new dedicated piece of hardware every time another service is needed

LOAD BALANCE

As services are distributed across many servers the load on each server can be balanced This is important to keep things running optimally

COMMODITY HARDWARE

For the most part generic servers or switches like those in use in most IT data centers are less expensive and will continue to get more cost effective than purpose built hardware

FAULT TOLERANCE BACKUP AND REDUNDANCY

IT Data Centers are designed to be non-blocking There are often several different servers running the same process and the services can be distributed so that if one server fails it does not bring down the entire system and recovery is fast

wwwgrassvalleycom 12wwwgrassvalleycom 12

hellipWhile Overcoming Their Weaknesses

Latency IP was built with a different model in mind than video IP is packet-based and with traditional data networks as packets are sent they may get to their destination via different paths at different times at different packet rates and out of order or they may get dropped completely While this may be fine for some applications such as handling email or sending a file with live video we donrsquot have the luxury of waiting a few seconds for a packet to arrive We need much higher precision in timing

Bandwidth Up until recently the high sustained bandwidth of video (especially with 4K and higher resolutions) could not be moved across IP infrastructure quickly or sustainably due to the size of the pipes and traffic management Now we have 10 GigE 25 GigE and 40 GigE with the quad version of 25 GigE namely 100 GigE on the horizon in switches which allows the timely passage of uncompressed video

Video Processing Broadcasters need to handle intensive computations needed for compression or signal processing something that the IT Data Center is ill-equipped to handle However today this processing can be placed on something as small as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) within the Broadcast Data Center In this way broadcasters operating in the IP domain can benefit from very powerful lightweight functions placed onto programmable single board media specific processors in essence replicating a blade server approach with less power requirements less weight and a smaller footprint

From a practical standpoint the best examples of the benefits of an IT Data Center are seen in the successful operations at Amazon Google and Netflix

bull Each can add new services or apps quickly

bull They are always there regardless of individual server failure using only the resources they need at any given time

bull Each has IT Data Centers with racks upon racks of seemingly identical servers with the cost benefit of buying in bulk mdash and the switches they use are fairly generic too mdash and as prices fall due to Moorersquos law the cost of these items will fall too

But as a broadcaster you need more than just future format-ready bandwidth and what generic IT Data Centers offer Our world mdash while based on the same digital ones and zeros mdash is a real-time processing and routing world where delays and switches outside of frame boundaries can be disruptive even devastating You require vertically accurate switching extremely low latency and most important the ability to process video the same way you do today in the SDI world All of which canrsquot be provided by an IT Data Center Thatrsquos why a Broadcast Data Center with its broadcast-centric design provides exactly what you need for your migration to IP production and infrastructure design

ldquoGlass-to-Glassrdquo Video-over-IP Solutions

The Broadcast Data Center

From an overarching perspective Grass Valleyrsquos Glass-to-Glass IP Solution encompasses all production elements acquisition switching playout replay editing routing monitoring and distribution But itrsquos the elements of the Broadcast Data Center within that solution that makes it work by providing a broadcast-centric infrastructure capable of transporting and processing both IP and SDI signals while delivering the innate benefits of an IT Data Center to broadcasters

Within these solutions are the GV Convergent software defined networking (SDN) control system and the GV Node real time IP processing and routing platform Working together these two broadcast-centric platforms control IP and SDI (including MADI) signal transport transparently and accurately so that operational staff handle IP signals in exactly the same way they handle SDI signals mdash all with deterministic timing and the reliability that a signal will be where itrsquos needed at the exact time itrsquos needed without dropping frames or adding significant latency

Vertically Accurate SwitchingOne of the most important differentiators of the Broadcast Data Center to other proprietary and COTS IP switching solutions is its vertically accurate deterministic switching capability This functionality is critical because COTS IP switches are ineffective for some live applications due to their inability to perform switching in the vertical interval when used as a back-up to the production switcher Vertically accurate switching is also needed when a router is used for providing secondary live feeds

Vertically accurate switching is one area where GV Convergent and GV Node work hand-in-hand within the Broadcast Data Center especially for edge switching and video processing

GV Node performs the actual IP switching at the edge of the Broadcast Data Center fabric and enhances the capabilities of the ldquoTop of Rackrdquo switch usually deployed in a data center by providing video and metadata processing including a full-function Kaleido multiviewer GV Node also provides IO for connection with end devices (such as production switchers cameras and servers) in IP or for legacy compatibility in SDI or MADI Finally GV Node aggregates 1 Tbs of IP bandwidth via 12 40 Gbs IP connections to higher order aggregation layers of a Broadcast Data Center Because of these capabilities GV Node is the worldrsquos first product which allows broadcasters to reap the benefits of an IT Data Center topology without sacrificing the vertical accuracy and latency requirements of broadcast

GV Convergent controls the IP core and aggregation layers of the Broadcast Data Center architecture as well as any IP COTS switches and GV Node GV Convergent tells the different layers what to do and when to do it so the infrastructure looks like a standard SDI infrastructure System bandwidth is managed to prevent packet reordering and discarding

Broadcast Data CenterGrass Valleyrsquos Vision for the Broadcast Plant of the Future with a Non-proprietary Solution that Supports Vertically Accurate Switching

T he agility of IP is what makes it so appealing to broadcasters High data rates wide bandwidth and a system thatrsquos both format agnostic and scalable for whatever the future brings Some early IP solutions

for broadcast include IP switches with surrounding conversion equipment But just installing IP switches surrounded by SDIIP conversion equipment doesnrsquot take full advantage of what IP has to offer In fact using conversion equipment everywhere effectively eliminates the advantage of utilizing IP in the first place

What the broadcast and media industries need is a broadcast-centric IP plant designed with the cost savings and efficiency of todayrsquos IP network but with the mission-critical reliability extensibility functionality and familiar workflows of todayrsquos SDI broadcast world What you need is a Broadcast Data Center

Broadcasters Need the Advantages of an IT Data Centerhellip

A typical IT Data Center provides a number of key advantages mdash and itrsquos easy to see the benefits of emulating this type of infrastructure

SCALABILITY

Whether scaling up or down in an IT Data Center it is easy to add or stop services (using only what you need) as these services are primarily software applications running on distributed servers New services are efficiently added by installing a new instance or via the automatic spawning of a new process These new services are also easily killed when no longer needed This is significantly less expensive and more agile than buying a new dedicated piece of hardware every time another service is needed

LOAD BALANCE

As services are distributed across many servers the load on each server can be balanced This is important to keep things running optimally

COMMODITY HARDWARE

For the most part generic servers or switches like those in use in most IT data centers are less expensive and will continue to get more cost effective than purpose built hardware

FAULT TOLERANCE BACKUP AND REDUNDANCY

IT Data Centers are designed to be non-blocking There are often several different servers running the same process and the services can be distributed so that if one server fails it does not bring down the entire system and recovery is fast

wwwgrassvalleycom 12wwwgrassvalleycom 12

hellipWhile Overcoming Their Weaknesses

Latency IP was built with a different model in mind than video IP is packet-based and with traditional data networks as packets are sent they may get to their destination via different paths at different times at different packet rates and out of order or they may get dropped completely While this may be fine for some applications such as handling email or sending a file with live video we donrsquot have the luxury of waiting a few seconds for a packet to arrive We need much higher precision in timing

Bandwidth Up until recently the high sustained bandwidth of video (especially with 4K and higher resolutions) could not be moved across IP infrastructure quickly or sustainably due to the size of the pipes and traffic management Now we have 10 GigE 25 GigE and 40 GigE with the quad version of 25 GigE namely 100 GigE on the horizon in switches which allows the timely passage of uncompressed video

Video Processing Broadcasters need to handle intensive computations needed for compression or signal processing something that the IT Data Center is ill-equipped to handle However today this processing can be placed on something as small as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) within the Broadcast Data Center In this way broadcasters operating in the IP domain can benefit from very powerful lightweight functions placed onto programmable single board media specific processors in essence replicating a blade server approach with less power requirements less weight and a smaller footprint

From a practical standpoint the best examples of the benefits of an IT Data Center are seen in the successful operations at Amazon Google and Netflix

bull Each can add new services or apps quickly

bull They are always there regardless of individual server failure using only the resources they need at any given time

bull Each has IT Data Centers with racks upon racks of seemingly identical servers with the cost benefit of buying in bulk mdash and the switches they use are fairly generic too mdash and as prices fall due to Moorersquos law the cost of these items will fall too

But as a broadcaster you need more than just future format-ready bandwidth and what generic IT Data Centers offer Our world mdash while based on the same digital ones and zeros mdash is a real-time processing and routing world where delays and switches outside of frame boundaries can be disruptive even devastating You require vertically accurate switching extremely low latency and most important the ability to process video the same way you do today in the SDI world All of which canrsquot be provided by an IT Data Center Thatrsquos why a Broadcast Data Center with its broadcast-centric design provides exactly what you need for your migration to IP production and infrastructure design

ldquoGlass-to-Glassrdquo Video-over-IP Solutions

The Broadcast Data Center

From an overarching perspective Grass Valleyrsquos Glass-to-Glass IP Solution encompasses all production elements acquisition switching playout replay editing routing monitoring and distribution But itrsquos the elements of the Broadcast Data Center within that solution that makes it work by providing a broadcast-centric infrastructure capable of transporting and processing both IP and SDI signals while delivering the innate benefits of an IT Data Center to broadcasters

Within these solutions are the GV Convergent software defined networking (SDN) control system and the GV Node real time IP processing and routing platform Working together these two broadcast-centric platforms control IP and SDI (including MADI) signal transport transparently and accurately so that operational staff handle IP signals in exactly the same way they handle SDI signals mdash all with deterministic timing and the reliability that a signal will be where itrsquos needed at the exact time itrsquos needed without dropping frames or adding significant latency

Vertically Accurate SwitchingOne of the most important differentiators of the Broadcast Data Center to other proprietary and COTS IP switching solutions is its vertically accurate deterministic switching capability This functionality is critical because COTS IP switches are ineffective for some live applications due to their inability to perform switching in the vertical interval when used as a back-up to the production switcher Vertically accurate switching is also needed when a router is used for providing secondary live feeds

Vertically accurate switching is one area where GV Convergent and GV Node work hand-in-hand within the Broadcast Data Center especially for edge switching and video processing

GV Node performs the actual IP switching at the edge of the Broadcast Data Center fabric and enhances the capabilities of the ldquoTop of Rackrdquo switch usually deployed in a data center by providing video and metadata processing including a full-function Kaleido multiviewer GV Node also provides IO for connection with end devices (such as production switchers cameras and servers) in IP or for legacy compatibility in SDI or MADI Finally GV Node aggregates 1 Tbs of IP bandwidth via 12 40 Gbs IP connections to higher order aggregation layers of a Broadcast Data Center Because of these capabilities GV Node is the worldrsquos first product which allows broadcasters to reap the benefits of an IT Data Center topology without sacrificing the vertical accuracy and latency requirements of broadcast

GV Convergent controls the IP core and aggregation layers of the Broadcast Data Center architecture as well as any IP COTS switches and GV Node GV Convergent tells the different layers what to do and when to do it so the infrastructure looks like a standard SDI infrastructure System bandwidth is managed to prevent packet reordering and discarding

What the broadcast and media industries need is a broadcast-centric IP plant designed with the cost savings and efficiency of todayrsquos IP network but with the mission-critical reliability extensibility functionality and familiar workflows of todayrsquos SDI broadcast world What you need is a Broadcast Data Center

Broadcasters Need the Advantages of an IT Data Centerhellip

A typical IT Data Center provides a number of key advantages mdash and itrsquos easy to see the benefits of emulating this type of infrastructure

SCALABILITY

Whether scaling up or down in an IT Data Center it is easy to add or stop services (using only what you need) as these services are primarily software applications running on distributed servers New services are efficiently added by installing a new instance or via the automatic spawning of a new process These new services are also easily killed when no longer needed This is significantly less expensive and more agile than buying a new dedicated piece of hardware every time another service is needed

LOAD BALANCE

As services are distributed across many servers the load on each server can be balanced This is important to keep things running optimally

COMMODITY HARDWARE

For the most part generic servers or switches like those in use in most IT data centers are less expensive and will continue to get more cost effective than purpose built hardware

FAULT TOLERANCE BACKUP AND REDUNDANCY

IT Data Centers are designed to be non-blocking There are often several different servers running the same process and the services can be distributed so that if one server fails it does not bring down the entire system and recovery is fast

hellipWhile Overcoming Their Weaknesses

Latency IP was built with a different model in mind than video IP is packet-based and with traditional data networks as packets are sent they may get to their destination via different paths at different times at different packet rates and out of order or they may get dropped completely While this may be fine for some applications such as handling email or sending a file with live video we donrsquot have the luxury of waiting a few seconds for a packet to arrive We need much higher precision in timing

Bandwidth Up until recently the high sustained bandwidth of video (especially with 4K and higher resolutions) could not be moved across IP infrastructure quickly or sustainably due to the size of the pipes and traffic management Now we have 10 GigE 25 GigE and 40 GigE with the quad version of 25 GigE namely 100 GigE on the horizon in switches which allows the timely passage of uncompressed video

Video Processing Broadcasters need to handle intensive computations needed for compression or signal processing something that the IT Data Center is ill-equipped to handle However today this processing can be placed on something as small as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) within the Broadcast Data Center In this way broadcasters operating in the IP domain can benefit from very powerful lightweight functions placed onto programmable single board media specific processors in essence replicating a blade server approach with less power requirements less weight and a smaller footprint

From a practical standpoint the best examples of the benefits of an IT Data Center are seen in the successful operations at Amazon Google and Netflix

bull Each can add new services or apps quickly

bull They are always there regardless of individual server failure using only the resources they need at any given time

bull Each has IT Data Centers with racks upon racks of seemingly identical servers with the cost benefit of buying in bulk mdash and the switches they use are fairly generic too mdash and as prices fall due to Moorersquos law the cost of these items will fall too

But as a broadcaster you need more than just future format-ready bandwidth and what generic IT Data Centers offer Our world mdash while based on the same digital ones and zeros mdash is a real-time processing and routing world where delays and switches outside of frame boundaries can be disruptive even devastating You require vertically accurate switching extremely low latency and most important the ability to process video the same way you do today in the SDI world All of which canrsquot be provided by an IT Data Center Thatrsquos why a Broadcast Data Center with its broadcast-centric design provides exactly what you need for your migration to IP production and infrastructure design

The Broadcast Data Center

From an overarching perspective Grass Valleyrsquos Glass-to-Glass IP Solution encompasses all production elements acquisition switching playout replay editing routing monitoring and distribution But itrsquos the elements of the Broadcast Data Center within that solution that makes it work by providing a broadcast-centric infrastructure capable of transporting and processing both IP and SDI signals while delivering the innate benefits of an IT Data Center to broadcasters

Within these solutions are the GV Convergent software defined networking (SDN) control system and the GV Node real time IP processing and routing platform Working together these two broadcast-centric platforms control IP and SDI (including MADI) signal transport transparently and accurately so that operational staff handle IP signals in exactly the same way they handle SDI signals mdash all with deterministic timing and the reliability that a signal will be where itrsquos needed at the exact time itrsquos needed without dropping frames or adding significant latency

Vertically Accurate SwitchingOne of the most important differentiators of the Broadcast Data Center to other proprietary and COTS IP switching solutions is its vertically accurate deterministic switching capability This functionality is critical because COTS IP switches are ineffective for some live applications due to their inability to perform switching in the vertical interval when used as a back-up to the production switcher Vertically accurate switching is also needed when a router is used for providing secondary live feeds

Vertically accurate switching is one area where GV Convergent and GV Node work hand-in-hand within the Broadcast Data Center especially for edge switching and video processing

GV Node performs the actual IP switching at the edge of the Broadcast Data Center fabric and enhances the capabilities of the ldquoTop of Rackrdquo switch usually deployed in a data center by providing video and metadata processing including a full-function Kaleido multiviewer GV Node also provides IO for connection with end devices (such as production switchers cameras and servers) in IP or for legacy compatibility in SDI or MADI Finally GV Node aggregates 1 Tbs of IP bandwidth via 12 40 Gbs IP connections to higher order aggregation layers of a Broadcast Data Center Because of these capabilities GV Node is the worldrsquos first product which allows broadcasters to reap the benefits of an IT Data Center topology without sacrificing the vertical accuracy and latency requirements of broadcast

GV Convergent controls the IP core and aggregation layers of the Broadcast Data Center architecture as well as any IP COTS switches and GV Node GV Convergent tells the different layers what to do and when to do it so the infrastructure looks like a standard SDI infrastructure System bandwidth is managed to prevent packet reordering and discarding

Vertically Accurate SwitchingOne of the most important differentiators of the Broadcast Data Center to other proprietary and COTS IP switching solutions is its vertically accurate deterministic switching capability This functionality is critical because COTS IP switches are ineffective for some live applications due to their inability to perform switching in the vertical interval when used as a back-up to the production switcher Vertically accurate switching is also needed when a router is used for providing secondary live feeds

Vertically accurate switching is one area where GV Convergent and GV Node work hand-in-hand within the Broadcast Data Center especially for edge switching and video processing

GV Node performs the actual IP switching at the edge of the Broadcast Data Center fabric and enhances the capabilities of the ldquoTop of Rackrdquo switch usually deployed in a data center by providing video and metadata processing including a full-function Kaleido multiviewer GV Node also provides IO for connection with end devices (such as production switchers cameras and servers) in IP or for legacy compatibility in SDI or MADI Finally GV Node aggregates 1 Tbs of IP bandwidth via 12 40 Gbs IP connections to higher order aggregation layers of a Broadcast Data Center Because of these capabilities GV Node is the worldrsquos first product which allows broadcasters to reap the benefits of an IT Data Center topology without sacrificing the vertical accuracy and latency requirements of broadcast

GV Convergent controls the IP core and aggregation layers of the Broadcast Data Center architecture as well as any IP COTS switches and GV Node GV Convergent tells the different layers what to do and when to do it so the infrastructure looks like a standard SDI infrastructure System bandwidth is managed to prevent packet reordering and discarding
