Part II Potential Broadcasting Applications Page: 12
The Paradigm Shift The technology exists today to implement the complete broadcast workflow from ingest to transmission in the cloud Excellent public cloud options exist but for Broadcast, a private and hybrid community cloud configuration would be ideal (e.g. station groups) The migration from linear tape to file-based workflow has already started. Recent rapid advancements in core technologies are enabling cloud computing IT at the same time that media and distribution technologies are transitioning from hardware to software Page: 13
The Paradigm Shift The world is going IP (@CES 2012: YouTube VP): 75% of all television and other media content will be delivered over the Internet only by 2020 In just a few years, online video is expected to account for 90% of online traffic Broadband connectivity is becoming ubiquitous and low cost Our media industry is evolving: unprecedented changes in technology & business models Broadband is becoming easier and cheaper than the delivering content via video tape Need to keep up and at the same time do more with less Page: 14
