Overview of Video Switching Methodologies
Non-clean Video Switching Clean Video Switching
Source-timed
Switching
Registers expected flow entry in
the IP switch. (Requires a flow-
control-capable SDN switch.)
Controller changes the
destination addresses for the
stream in each source.
Updates the flow information of both source devices at exactly the same time.
Pros: The IP switch does not need to sync over the network. No double bandwidth penalty.
Cons: Complicated exception handling due to the requirement for synchronous processing
of two source devices with respect to one destination device. Limited network topology
since buffering is required in the IP switch, if there is a delay between source and
destination devices.
Switch-timed
Switching
Switching video updates the flow
table in the IP switch. (Requires a
flow-control-capable SDN switch.)
The SDN controller switches the address of the stream to update the flow table during the
vertical blanking period.
Pros: No double bandwidth penalty
Cons: The IP switch is required to find the vertical blanking period. Limited network topology
since buffering is required in the IP switch, if there is a delay between the source and
destination devices.
Destination-timed
Switching
Switching video commanded,
generally using IP multicast, from
destination device to
conventional IP switch.
Temporarily receives a double stream at the destination device, finds the vertical blanking
period, and then switches inside the destination device.
Pros: No limitation for network topology. This can use COTS IP switches. Easy exception
handling since one destination device can handle everything.
Cons: Double bandwidth penalty. 6

• Multiple possible connections
• Edge equipment control
• Bandwidth control
• Redundancy
• Security
• Enabling virtualization
Two Approaches
• Using a broadcast controller integrated with
orchestrator
• Using separated broadcast controller and
orchestrator
Media Service Management and Orchestration
28

Orchestrator and Controller
ORCHESTRATOR
Monitors, Controls and Manages one or multiple Physical, Logical and
Virtual “Devices or Functions” in such a way that the orchestrator is
aware of the availability, capability, capacity, utilization and
connectivity of each resource at any given point in time
DETERMINISTIC:
Guaranteed capacity and resource availability
TEMPORAL:
Orchestrators book and guarantee capacity ahead of time
SPATIAL:
Full stack management of applications
& underlying VNI (Virtual Network Identifier) and
physical layers
There is no guarantee that the
actions can or will happen
Controllers operate in real time within assigned
capacity constraints (live production)
Controllers only operate on the application level
(usually tailored to technology vendor)
CONTROLLER
Sends Commands to one or more physical or logical
devices to execute single or multiple actions using of
manual or automated processes
Thoughtful decision-making
(non-live production)
Fast execution for defined scenarios
(live production)

• In SDI System: A broadcast controller had to talk to one or more
SDI router
• In IP Systems: A broadcast controllers need to interface with the
(SDN) Network Controllers and, in most cases, with all edge
devices as well.
• (SDN) Network Controllers: The switch manufacturers offer their
own SDN controller.
⇒ A multi-vendor orchestrator is therefore a true necessity
 Media flow is orchestrated in all imaginable manners, by
controlling sources, switch fabrics and endpoints directly, by using
multiple vendor-optimized (SDN) network controllers, or a mixture
of the two.
 Orchestrator glues the entire operation together and sets up the
workflows as you want (dynamic).

DataMiner: Media over IP Monitoring and SDN Orchestration

DataMiner: Media over IP Monitoring and SDN Orchestration
32

DaraMiner: Media over IP Monitoring and SDN Orchestration
CHALLENGE 1: Media over IP is not SDI … yet
• IP traffic shaping is vital to optimize and guarantee network performance.
• All signals need to be in sync, for fast, frame-accurate, seamless switching
• Redundancy
• IP routers and switches buffer packets by nature and forward those in case of sufficient bandwidth, some
issues:
• latency
• packet delay variations (PDV) or jitter
• packets that are forwarded in a different order
• in a worst-case scenario, packets that are dropped
• Forward error-correction mechanisms and error-concealment technologies such as SMPTE 2022-7 are
available to compensate some of those flaws, but they come with a bandwidth and latency cost.
• Making the right trade-off is key but requires a platform like DataMiner to monitor flow quality and
orchestrate the optimal workflow for each service.
33

CHALLENGE 2: High-value media content needs high-level protection
• The vast majority of vulnerabilities in IP networks originate from operational mistakes and lack of training,
and an ever- growing specialist crowd tries to hack systems for pleasure or for money
• That entails both encrypting the content and protecting the network.
• Automation is essential to avoid one-off misconfigurations and enforce company policies in a consistent
and controlled manner.
• Embedding cybersecurity in the day-to-day activities has become very strategic to any operation.
• Data Miner implements cybersecurity in the media workflows in an automated and consistent manner, by
embedding content protection and network security processes in the orchestration.
34

CHALLENGE 3: There is no “one-fits-all” workflow to switch signals
• A variety of SDN-controlled switch algorithms has emerged and the industry is still settling on best practices,
using either source-based switching, destination-based switching or network switching. Each paradigm has
an impact on peak network bandwidth, latency and frame accuracy.
• The different technology providers bundle their solutions with a proprietary controller to make things work.
Obviously, this is useless to broadcast operators who want to use the best-of-breed technologies in their
operations.

• DataMiner orchestrates media flows in all imaginable manners, by
controlling sources, switch fabrics and endpoints directly, by using
multiple vendor-optimized SDN controllers, or a mixture of the two.
• DataMiner glues the entire operation together and sets up the workflows
exactly the way the operator wants them to behave, at present and at
any time in the future, as workflows have never been more dynamic in
the fast-evolving production landscape.

• With the mix of controllers and interconnections, each with different responsibilities across many new
layers, it is clear that an overarching platform like DataMiner does more than just fill in the gaps.
• It acts as an instance that truly orchestrates a media facility end to end, at the same time smoothly
integrating any third-party SDN controller, often optimized for live production, even within large-scale
blocking networks.
• DataMiner orchestration makes sure flows are managed thoughtfully to make them available when
and where required.
• At the same time, it guarantees that none of the links in the media network get oversubscribed at any
moment in time, in order to not disturb one, many or any of the other video and audio flows.
• The true orchestration is not only about switching signals. DataMiner interacts with your operations and
business management layer as well, such as ticketing, billing, scheduling or planned maintenance
systems.

PWA-LEO1 - Live Element Orchestrator
System orchestration and management software for IP Live production
− Live Element Orchestrator is a strong orchestration software to increase the performance and utilization of
resources, as well as to reduce the system downtime, further improving productivity in content production.
− This application provides overall system management of an IP-based production system.
− By supporting major industry protocols, both Sony and third-party solutions can be equally supported.
− Enabling resources to be shared across multiple locations, configurations to be set-up centrally and
operations across all equipment to be monitored, the solution optimizes system performance.
− Sony developed its Live Element Orchestrator in collaboration with Skyline Communications (Belgium)
adopting the company’s DataMiner, an end-to-end management and orchestration solution, as a core
technology.
56

57

58

− NETCONF (as an SDN technology) has been chosen for use with Sony’s IP Live Production because almost all
COTS IP switches support NETCONF.
− Sony’s IP Live Production System emulates this SDN technology, with the IP Live System Manager as the
control plane, and NETCONF is used for configuring the IP switches dynamically.
Software Defined Networks (SDN) in Sony’s IP Live Production System
59

− As IP Live from Sony supports destination-timed switching, it does not currently support any other flow-control-
capable SDN protocol, such as OpenFlow.
− Flow-control-capable SDN IP switches are considered too cutting-edge and expensive at present to support
the underlying COTS principle of Sony’s IP Live design.
− Sony will continue to investigate the possibility of using flow-control-capable SDN protocols, technology and
hardware in Sony’s IP Live Production System while still maintaining the basic COTS principles of Sony’s IP Live
design.

Key Achievements
189

LIVE IP – Top Benefits, Top Risks
Top Benefits
− Future proofing, in particular the ability to adopt new formats
− Flexibility, supports new ways of working with more dynamic assignment of resources. Allows facilities to be scaled up more
easily
− Will be the industry standard in roughly the same timescale as Central Square
− Will eventually be the lowest cost model due to adoption of COTS hardware and ability to move broadcast functions onto
a more generic platform with a distributed routing core
Top Risks
− Interoperability still not proven standards are very new
− There is an obvious Cybersecurity risk
− New skills are required to deliver and support Live IP. There is a possibility of change saturation and also an overspend on
training
− More resources may be required to support delivery of Live IP than planned (this includes resources and capabilities of
Systems Integrators)
− Refresh cycles are much faster and don’t align well with traditional capital plans
190

− We will have 2 separate (A/B) media networks for IP
video and audio flows
− There will another separate control network (a shared
broadcast control network)
− The media networks will use a leaf-spine architecture
with 1 spine switch (Cisco 9508) and up to 18 leaf
switches (Cisco 9236) per side
− The media networks will be fibre based running at up to
100Gbps
− There will be a pair of leaf switches on every floor
− Network will be controlled using Cisco DCNM (a form of
SDN)
− There will be no direct connection to the BBC’s business
networks
ST2110 Media Topology
191

− Separate & secured control network
− BNCS control interface to GV Convergent using NP0017
− GV Convergent controls the network fabric via Cisco DCNM
− GV Convergent connects edge devices via GVC API
− Intention is to integrate NMOS IS-04 and IS-05
− How far do we shift from ‘sources and destinations’ to ‘flows’ or
‘streams’?
− How do we reconcile fixed legacy audio I/O with more flexible
streams?
− How do you associate related streams? Especially before we have
NMOS?
− How do you find and manage what is on the network without
compromising cyber security?
− How much flexibility do users actually want or need?
Control Methodology
192

Audio Issues
− ST2110-30 and AES67 are almost compatible but there
are differences.
− There are a lot of different profiles and details that
hinder interoperability (16 channel C 125μs, 1-8
channel A 1ms)
− Video vendors are adopting NMOS control but Radio
vendors already have LiveWire, Dante & EMBER+
− Our media network is dual presented via 2022-7 but a
lot of audio kit uses a different resilience model
− We also have to deal with Dante for much of our post
production audio. Dante needs a different PTP profile
− MADI may offer a natural bridge but GV’s approach
to using MADI has a number of control constraints
− We need to consider latency between systems
193

− Many tools from different vendors are required
− No agility defining and setting up new workflows
• Slowness in operation
− Inflexible and rather static operational workflows
− Vendor lock-in, controllers are tied to specific technology
− Traditional broadcast workflows get broken
− Siloed operation, controllers cannot be stacked
− The expected flexibility, agility and scalability will not materialize when the IP infrastructure is segmented as
a result of siloed monitoring, management and orchestration.

ASPEN

Pace of
evolution
• ASPEN (Adaptive Sample Picture Encapsulation) is a standards-based, open format that moves uncompressed Ultra HD, 3G, HD, and SD
signals over MPEG-2 transport streams (ISO/IEC 13818-1) (ASPEN Community is more than 30 industry leading manufacturers).
• ASPEN provides a framework for transporting separated video, audio, and metadata as independent IP multicast streams.
• The ASPEN Community was founded at IBC 2015 to realize and promote the benefits of deploying the ASPEN format within IP-based
broadcast and media facilities through the integration and interoperability of the open format. 196

Design Considerations for an IP Infrastructure
– Standards – Which ones ? Do we care ?
– IP Conversion (to/from SDI) – Amount ? Formats ?
– IP Conversion (to/from MADI) - Amount ? Formats ? Processing ?
– Native IP Devices – Amount ? Format ? Control ?
– Signal Processing – Video ? Audio ? Transportation ?
– Multi-viewers – Amount ? Formats ? Layouts ? Tally ? Control ?
– Connectivity – 1.5, 3 or 12Gbps ? 10, 25, 40, 50 or 100Gbps ?
– Network Design – Singular switch ? Spine/Leaf ? Modular ? L2 or L3 ?
– Control & Monitoring System – Topology ? Performance ? Licensing ? SNMP ?
– Timing – Legacy BB/TL ? PTP ? Ordinary ? Boundary ?
– System redundancy – All or Core Components ?
