78 - The Move to IP: War Stories From The Front Lines

The move to IP is one of the greatest challenges the sports video industry has ever faced and every organization that has made the move from SDI to IP has some battle scars that are still healing. We'll take a close-up look at a few real-world scenarios, how the problems were solved, and what steps can be taken to avoid a similar fate. We're joined on the program by Joe Signorino, VP, Systems Integration, U.S. Mobile Units for NEP Broadcast Services, Jason Taubman, SVP, Technology for Game Creek Video, and Jeff Smith, SVP, Sales Americas for Lawo. This conversation comes from the stage of the SVG Summit and was recorded on December 16, 2019. It is moderated by SVG's Executive Director, Editorial Services Ken Kerschbaumer.
