Many parts of broadcast production environments have long been moved to IT- and IP-based infrastructures – with the exception of live production, the last bastion of SDI-based specialty equipment. The transition to IP for live production (Live & IP) confronts broadcasters with important technology choices, which can have a bearing on their investments in the future. Broadcasters also need to gain the necessary know-how and make organizational changes to implement, and make use of, new workflows that Live & IP will make possible.
- Helps Members to get the most from their transition to IT/network-based infrastructures in their production studios and from remote locations.
- PI provides a platform for you to share knowledge, experience and test results with your peers. We capture your requirements and keep you up to date on new technologies so that you can make well-informed decisions for future investments. We also look at the impact of new technology on production practices and workflows and offer guidance on media production and contribution over IP, remote production and media storage.

Do more with less
The continuous challenge of producing more content with less resources is not new. The transition to IT- and IP-based infrastructure can help broadcasters to automate some of their processes and find new ways to increase efficiency and effectiveness in production.
Flexible workflows and new services
Since nearly every part of the production chain is involved in the transition, these new infrastructures provide broadcasters with an opportunity to develop more flexible ways of working and to offer new services to their audiences.
Interoperability
Thanks to standardization, best practices, reference code and interoperability tests, broadcasters can take advantage of a multi-vendor environment, choose best-of-breed components, and avoid vendor lock-in.
