Pearman says, “these evaluations show that it is relatively easy to place different event tiers and production requirements into a functional matrix to help aid the choice as to the target operating model of the event.” Of course, the sticking point in event- based production has always been the provision of connectivity from the event back to the broadcaster. A redundant satellite uplink is perfectly suitable for the production feed of an OB truck, but when operating in a remote production environment, getting a high number of

high-quality camera feeds back to the broadcaster requires higher bandwidth and lower latency than typically available via a satellite uplink. “Red Bee Media is working towards offering the market a number of connectivity options to assist with this problem which are based around both the usage of traditional fibre connectivity but on an ad-hoc, low-commitment basis, and also the use of evolving high-bandwidth, low-latency 5G platforms, which we believe will fully enable the dream of full remote production as a ‘pop-up’ service.” To ensure it is always at the forefront of the production technology curve, Pearman says Red Bee Media is vendor agnostic and welcomes partnerships with emerging technology and software vendors.

relationships, ensuring the vendor is able to offer the market a mature, stable, feature- rich environment. In return, Red Bee Media is able to offer customers cutting-edge production technology solutions enabling them to produce cutting-edge content.” Evidence of services developed this way will be on show at IBC2019, where Red Bee Media is showcasing a live demonstration of an optimized contribution network, enabling low-latency,
