Time & PTP Wait for No One: Hybrid Facilities Top Challenge, Multiple Reference Signals

Among the challenges of operating hybrid broadcast facilities, many engineers would say managing multiple reference signals is the single biggest stumbling block. 

Integrating a synchronous SDI infrastructure with an asynchronous IP infrastructure, you have to sync a frequency and phase-based reference signal, blackburst or tri-level sync, with a time-based reference signal, PTP.

That challenge will be the topic of our next live webinar. Leader experts Steve Holmes and Kevin Salvidge will be joined by Ryan Morris and Gerard Philips of Arista Networks as they discuss best practices when it comes to designing, deploying, and testing multi-tier reference systems that support both IP and SDI infrastructures.

They will talk through how to best integrate both types of reference signals so that failures do not result in catastrophes in your broadcast operations.

Whether you’re just starting out on your IP migration journey, or you’re managing an existing hybrid facility, you’ll leave this webinar with tips and takeaways that will prove invaluable and prevent future headaches.
