optimised latency and bandwidth. This is a priority for live media productions, including those in sports that typically involve large camera configurations in densely crowded environments, such as stadiums. Reflecting on the trial, Claudia Nemat, board member for technology and innovation at Deutsche Telekom, states: “Live TV with multiple cameras means high technical requirements. 5G SA simplifies this kind of complex media production. As an example: standardised, programmable interfaces ensure low latency times and stable bandwidths. In combination with 5G modems and innovative data
compression, the quality of service can be adapted to optimise particularly important video signals. This makes broadcasting operations even more efficient. Together with our partner Sony, we have successfully tested this 5G innovation.” Peter Sykes, strategic technology development manager at Sony Europe, echoes these sentiments and alludes to the long-term potential for 5G in demanding live productions. “The scope for 5G to become an extremely important technology for complex live applications is clear, but it’s vital that broadcast customers know they can ensure reliable and robust connectivity,
ensuring critical video signals are prioritised when required. “The trial with Deutsche Telekom has emphasised the crucial role of 5G technology and its future evolution in creating more efficient broadcast operations to advance live production,” Sykes concludes.
